Manufacturer's Code 0890 100 027
Major Recommended Uses: For sealing of scratches, joints, welding seams and overlapping
metal sheets. Major Recommended Method of Application: The surface to be filled must be
dry and free from grease or dust. Important: metal surfaces must be primed. The material
can be smoothed with a wet finger or stopping knife. Cut off the cartridge nipple above
thethread, screw on the nozzle and cut it off at a length depending on the thickness of
the application required. After drying thoroughly it is waterproof. Before that it can be
washed out by rain or water spray.

Established occupational exposure limits frequently do not take into
consideration reproductive end points that are clearly below the thresholds for
other toxic effects. Occupational reproductive guidelines (ORGs) have been
suggested as an additional standard. These have been established after a
literature search for the reproductive no-observed-adverse effect-level (NOAEL)
and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level (LOAEL). In addition the US EPA's
procedures for risk assessment for hazard identification and dose-response
assessment as applied by NIOSH were used in the creation of such limits.
Uncertainty factors (UFs) have also been incorporated.

MAK value: 10 ppm, 26 mg/m³
Designated H in List of MAK values: Danger of cutaneous absorption.
Absorption of such substances through the skin can pose an incomparably larger
danger of toxicity than their inhalation. To avoid health risks when handling
such substances, meticulous cleaning of the skin, hair and clothing is
imperative.
MAK Category I Peak Limitation: For local irritants Allows excursions of twice
the MAK value for 5 minutes at a time, 8 times per shift.
MAK Group C: There is no reason to fear risk of damage to the developing embryo
when MAK and BAT values are observed.
MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the
Federal Republic of Germany
Odour Threshold: 25 ppm
NOTE: Detector tubes for ethylene glycol, measuring in excess of 10 mg/m³,
are commercially available.
It appears impractical to establish separate TLVs for ethylene glycol
vapour and mists. Atmospheric concentration that do not cause discomfort
are unlikely to cause adverse effects. The TLV-C is thought to be
protective against throat and respiratory irritation and headache reported
in exposed humans. NIOSH has not established a limit for this substance
due to the potential teratogenicity associated with exposure and because
respiratory irritation reported at the TLV justified a lower value.
· Safety glasses with side shields · Chemical goggles. · Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all lenses concentrate them.
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC. Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber
· Overalls. · P.V.C. apron. · Barrier cream. · Skin cleansing cream. · Eye wash unit.
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of
breathing zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant.
Protection Factors (defined as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the
mask) may also be important.

The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine
the type of personal protective equipment required. For further information
consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your Occupational
Health and Safety Advisor.
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas.

Product is considered stable and hazardous polymerisation will not occur.
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification
systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating
animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of
the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g
liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic
substances are generally based on doses producing mortality rather than those
producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may
produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of
insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC
Directives), direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort
characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of
the respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour,
mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by
observing good occupational work practice.
