generates heat by exotherm. Heat may be sufficient to make for strong smell of styrene
vapour. Mixed material is spread by hand with scraper or knife. After hardening may be
shaped by filing (coarse dust) or sanding (fine dust). Do not return mixed material to

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

  Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.  Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.  

EYE

  This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.  The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.  

SKIN

  This material can cause inflammation of the skin oncontact in some persons.  Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects, however the material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds, lesions or abrasions.  The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin.  

INHALED

  The material is not thought to produce respiratory irritation (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless inhalation of the material, especially for prolonged periods, may produce respiratory discomfort and occasionally, distress.  Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.  

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

  There has been concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations, but there is not enough data to make an assessment.  

  The primary routes of exposure are usually by inhalation of vapour  and skin contact/absorption. Inhalation of high concentrations may lead to  anaesthetic or narcotic effects with headaches, nausea, vomiting and coma.  Brief skin contact may cause drying. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may  cause drying, cracking or blisters.  Ingestion may cause headaches, nausea, vomiting, narosis and even  unconsciousness. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, vomitus may be breathed  into the lungs where even small quantities may cause pneumonitis and  pulmonary oedema/haemorrhage.
