According to current knowledge this concentration should neither impair the health or, not cause undue discomfort to nearly all workers. WES-STEL Work Exposure Standard - Short Term Exposure Limit is the average airborne concentration over a 15 minute period which should not be exceeded at any time during a normal eight hour work day. CARCINOGEN CATEGORY A2 Suspected Human Carcinogen Product Name : ACRI-BOND 105 Page 2 of 6 ACRI-BOND 105 Material Safety Data Sheet These Workplace Expose Standards are guidelines to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. WES should not be used as fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentration of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity. Personal Protection Equipment : H-Overalls, Safety shoes, Chemical goggles, Glaves (S), Respirator. Avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of vapour. Wear overalls, chemical goggles and impervious gloves. Use with adequate ventilation. Available information (5) suggests that gloves made from supported polyvinyl alcohol should be suitable for intermittent contact. However, due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, a final assessment should be made by the user. If inhalation risk exists wear organic vapour respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using. 8.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY DCM forms detonable mixtures with nitric acid. It may react with certain amines like polyurethane catalysts. Prolonged contact with aluminum or light alloys may cause a reaction with gas generation and pressure buildup (1). TCE can decompose to dichloroethylene, phosgene, carbon monoxide and chloroacetylenes on contact with strong alkalis. It is also photoreactive. MMM is stable in the presence of inhibitor. It is liable to polymerize in the presence of catalyst or prolonged heating. Incompatible with strong acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents and polymerization catalyst. I does not decompose up to the auto-ignition temperature.(9) Product Name : ACRI-BOND 105 Page 3 of 6 ACRI-BOND 105 Material Safety Data Sheet 10. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Main symptoms : No adverse health effects expected if the product is handled in accordance with this Safety Data Sheet and product label. Symptoms that may arise if the product is mishandled are: Ingestion : Swallowing large amounts can result in nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, gastrointestinal irritation, drowsiness, unconsciousness(1) and central nervous system depression. Eye contact : DCM liquid is a moderate eye irritant (1). Liquid splashes may result in transient eye damage. (1). No eye irritation was reported by volunteers exposed to about 1000 ppm vapour for two hours. Marked irritative conjunctivitis and lacrimation were noted at vapour concentrations high enough to produce unconsciousness (2). TCE vapour and liquid are mild to moderate irritants. Permanent damage is unlikely (6). MMM is eye irritant. High vapour concentration will cause irritation (9). Skin contact : The liquid can be absorbed through the skin. Contact with skin may result in slight to mild irritation(6). Will have degreasing action on the skin. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause reddening, burning and blistering of the skin (1). Inhalation : Vapour may be irritant to mucous membranes and respiratory tract. Inhalation of high concentrations will lead to anesthetic effects and adverse effects to the central nervous system. Symptoms may include lightheadedness (1000 ppm for 20 minutes), dizziness, nausea, vomiting and headache. Inhalation of very high concentrations can result in loss of consciousness and irregular heart beat and prove suddenly fatal(1). Methylene chloride is converted to carbon monoxide in the body, which reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. This is reflected by a raised carboxyheamoglobin concentration in the blood (1). Long term effects : Repeated exposure to high levels of DCM and/or TCE may produce liver and kidney damage (1). Evidence available indicates that DCM is an animal carcinogen and therefore should be considered a possible human carcinogen. This data are not considered relevant to normal industrial use but emphasize the need for care in handling. A condition known as " Degreaser's Flush ", a pronounced redness of the skin, may occur on the face, hands, arms, feet and trunk of some individuals following repeated exposure to TCE and consumption of alcohol. This effect can intensify over a 30 minute period but usually disappears completely after 1 hour. The symptoms may occur up to 6 weeks after the last exposure to TCE and can reoccur if exposure continues. There is no reason to believe that MMM represents a carcinogenic or mutagenic hazard to man based upon evidence from well conducted animal studies and adequate epidemiology studies in relevant cohorts. Recent studies in animals have shown that high exposures do not produce embryo or foetotoxic nor teratogenic effects in the presence of mathernal toxicity (9). Acute Toxicity/Chronic Toxicity : DCM Oral LD50(rat): 2100 mg/kg (3) Inhalation LD50(rat): 200mg/m3/15 minutes (3) No adverse effects on blood count, blood pressure, pulmonary function, neurological function cognitive function, alertness and coordination were detected when healthy adults were exposed repeatedly to up to 250 ppm of DCM for 7.5 hrs/day, 5 days/week for two weeks or in the case of the male subjects, at 500 ppm on two consecutive days (4). Several major studies on human workers showed no casual relationship between exposure to DCM and an increase in the evidence of cancer (1). A chronic inhalation study in the mouse has shown that DCM is carcinogenic in this species, when exposed to levels well above the exposure level, causing tumors both in the liver and the lung (1). Additional studies in the mouse, rat and the hamster have shown no further significant evidence of carcinogenic effect. The effect in mice is specific to this species and is very unlikely to occur in humans. This is due to well established differences in the metabolic pathways between rodents and humans (1). DCM has been classified (IARC) as group 2B agent - The agent is possibly carcinogenic to humans. Product Name : ACRI-BOND 105 Page 4 of 6 ACRI-BOND 105 Material Safety Data Sheet Acute Toxicity/Chronic Toxicity : TCE Oral LD50(rats, cats and rabbits): 6000-7000 mg/kg (7) A volunteer exposed to 1000 ppm of TCE for two hours experienced adverse effects on visual perception and motor skill. When the volunteer was exposed to 100 and 300 ppm for two hours no significant effects were reported (7). Long term daily exposure of animals with high oral doses have resulted in liver and kidney damage. Repeated exposure of humans in the workplace appears to have no marked toxic effects on the kidney or liver (4). The genotoxic potential of TCE has been studied widely using in vivo and in vitro test systems; many of these extensively reported studies used material containing potentially mutagenic epoxide stabilizers. Overall there is no convincing evidence that TCE is genotoxic(8). TCE has been associated with cancer in rodents. Extensive evaluations of possible mechanisms have led to the conclusion that they are of little, if any, relevance to humans even at high exposure levels. Studies in workers have failed to demonstrate a relationship between exposure to TCE and cancer (6). TCE has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a Group 2A agent The agent is probably carcinogenic to humans. Classified by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) as A5- Not suspected as a human carcinogen (7). MMM Oral LD50(rat): 7872 mg/kg (10) Inhalation LC50 (mouse): 18500 mg/m3/2 hrs (10) Inhalation Lowest Toxic Concentration (human): 50 ppm (10). Results from animal studies that are relevant to occupational exposure indicate that there is no evidence of carcinogenicity (1,3). Based on the above mutagenicity and carcinogenicity results, MMM is not expected to pose a carcinogenic hazard to humans. MMM has been classified by the IARC as a Group 3 agent. Group 3 - The agent is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. 11. TRANSPORT INFORMATION Classified as Dangerous Goods for the purpose of transport by road or rail.
