11. Toxicological Information

 

 

- Inhalation:

 

 

Low vapour concentrations cause irritation of the respiratory tract, causing. coughing and slight difficulty with breathing. Higher concentrations produce more severe irritation, and may be accompanied by nausea, fatigue, weakness, euphoria, drowsiness, double vision, ataxia, and coma.

 

- Skin:

May produce mild reddening of the skin. Prolonged contact may produce a drying and fissuring due to a defatting action.  

 

- Eyes:

Vapour is mildly irritating. Liquid produces chemical conjunctivitis     

With mild transient corneal injury.

 

 

- Ingestion:

Slightly toxic. Ingestion of moderate quantities may cause abdominal  discomfort, nausea and drowsiness.

 

12. Ecological Information

 

 

BODY  PLASTOFIX is almost insoluble in water and will float on the surface. It could cause a fire or explosion if a large spill drained into a sewer system and would be highly toxic  to fish if discharged to natural waters. Avoid discharge to sewers or waterways! It is biodegradable in very low concentrations in water in biological wastewater treatment plants.

 

13. Disposal Considerations

 

 

Methods of disposal:

 

 

Controlled incineration.

Danger(s):

Emptied vase contain solvent vapours, hezardous in respect of fire, explosion and noxiousness Disposal only to licensed vase reconditioners.
