EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE Acute Effects _____________ Eye: Direct contact irritates slightly with redness and swelling. Skin: A single short exposure (less than 24 hours) may irritate. Repeated prolonged contact (24 to 48 hours) may irritate moderately. Product contains oximes which are possible skin sensitizers. Inhalation: Vapor overexposure may cause drowsiness, injure blood, liver and may irritate eyes, nose and throat. Oral: Small amounts transferred to the mouth by fingers during use, etc., should not injure. Swallowing large amounts may injure slightly. Repeated Exposure Effects _________________________ Skin: None Known. Inhalation: Vapor overexposure may cause drowsiness, injure blood, liver and may irritate eyes, nose and throat. Oral: Small amounts transferred to the mouth by fingers during use, etc., should not injure. Swallowing large amounts may injure slightly. Special Hazards _______________ This material contains the following components with the special hazards listed below. Carcinogens ___________ None Known Teratogens __________ None Known Mutagens ________ None Known (Continued on Page 3) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Product Name: TRADE MATE II(TM),SIDING AND GUTTER,WHITE Revision Date: 08/30/94 Page 3 SECTION 3. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE Reproductive Toxins ___________________ None Known Sensitizers ___________ 022984549 3 Methyl Possible Skin Sensitizer tri(ethylmethylketoxime) silane 083817725 1 Di (ethylmethylketoxime) Possible Skin Sensitizer methoxymethyl silane 093917750 .4 Diethoxy Possible Skin Sensitizer di(ethylmethylketoxime) silane 101371000 .5 Ethoxy Possible Skin Sensitizer tri(ethylmethylketoxime) silane Comments: Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime (MEKO) is evolved during cure. Male rodents exposed to the MEKO vapor throughout their lifetime developed liver cancer. Additional testing is planned by the MEKO supplier to determine any relevance to humans. Until more data is known, exposure levels should be maintained as low as achievable. Please read the additional information below. The above listed potential effects of overexposure are based on actual data, results of studies performed upon similar compositions component data and/or expert review of the product. SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eye: Immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. Skin: Remove from skin and immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation or ill effects develop or persist. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if ill effects persist. Oral: Get medical attention. Comments: Treat according to person's condition and specifics of exposure.
