11. Toxicological Information

- Inhalation:

High concentrations can producesevere 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 drying and fissuring due to defatting action.  

- Eyes:

Vapour is mildly irritating. Liquid produces chemical conjunctivitis with mild transient corneal injury.

- Ingestion:

Ingestion of moderate quantities may cause abdominal  discomfort, nausea and drowsiness.In high concentrations it is narcotic.

12. Ecological Information

BODY ACRYL SLOW  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 discharging to sewers or waterways! At very low water concentration it can be treated in biological waste-water treatment plants.

Methods of disposal:

Controlled incineration.

Danger(s):

Emptied vase contains solvent vapours, hazardous with respect to fire, explosion and noxiousness. Dispose only to licensed vase reconditioners.
