2,2,4-TRIMETHYL-1,3-PENTANEDIOL MONOISOBUTYRATE: ACRYLIC POLYMER LATEX: WATER: No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH. 2-METHYL-4-ISOTHIAZOLIN-3-ONE: 5-CHLORO-2-METHYL-4-ISOTHIAZOLIN-3-ONE: TITANIUM DIOXIDE: Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for these irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborne concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should be protected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are established using uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no -observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human results are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling values (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLV STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints combine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five -category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life. However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU) Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely allied to that of the USA. OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can: · cause inflammation · cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents · lead to permanent injury or dysfunction · permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and · acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus increasing the risk of overexposure. 2-METHYL-4-ISOTHIAZOLIN-3-ONE: 5-CHLORO-2-METHYL-4-ISOTHIAZOLIN-3-ONE: CEL TWA: 0.1 mg/m3; STEL 0.3 mg/m3 total isothiazolinones (Rohm and Haas). 2-METHYL-4-ISOTHIAZOLIN-3-ONE: 5-CHLORO-2-METHYL-4-ISOTHIAZOLIN-3-ONE: MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the Federal Republic of Germany. 2-METHYL-4-ISOTHIAZOLIN-3-ONE: 5-CHLORO-2-METHYL-4-ISOTHIAZOLIN-3-ONE: MAK Group D: Classification as to the effect of the substance on the developing embryo/foetus is not yet possible because although data may indicate a trend, they are not sufficient for a final evaluation. 2-METHYL-4-ISOTHIAZOLIN-3-ONE: 5-CHLORO-2-METHYL-4-ISOTHIAZOLIN-3-ONE: Designated S in List of MAK values: Danger of sensitization. CALCIUM CARBONATE: The TLV-TWA is thought to be protective against the significant risk of physical irritation associated with exposure. TITANIUM DIOXIDE: It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs (or their equivalent) for all substances for which there is evidence of health effects at airborne concentrations encountered in the workplace. At this time no TLV has been established, even though this material may produce adverse health effects (as evidenced in animal experiments or clinical experience). Airborne concentrations must be maintained as low as is practically possible and occupational exposure must be kept to a minimum. NOTE: The ACGIH occupational exposure standard for Particles Not Otherwise Specified (P.N.O.S) does NOT apply. WARNING: This substance has been classified by the IARC as Group 2B: Possibly Carcinogenic to Humans. IDLH Level: 5000 mg/m3 Animal studies at 10 mg/m3 show no significant fibrosis, possibly reversible tissue reaction and the architecture of lung air spaces remains intact. 5-CHLORO-2-METHYL-4-ISOTHIAZOLIN-3-ONE: MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the Federal Republic of Germany. CEL TWA: 0.1 mg/m3; STEL: 0.3 mg/m3 total isothiazolines [Manufacturer] MAK value: 0.2 mg/m3 2-METHYL-4-ISOTHIAZOLIN-3-ONE: MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the Federal Republic of Germany. MAK value: 0.05 mg/m3
· Safety glasses with side shields. · Chemical goggles. · Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
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.

General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas. Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.

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 (eg. 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.
There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.
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. Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
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.
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupational exposure. There has been some concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations but there is not enough data to make an assessment. Long term exposure to titanium and several of its compounds produces lung scarring and chronic bronchitis. Breathing is impaired and cardiac changes with right heart enlargements occur. There is an increased chance of developing cancers of the respiratory tract.

Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis. 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. 2,2,4-TRIMETHYL-1,3-PENTANEDIOL MONOISOBUTYRATE: TOXICITY IRRITATION Oral (rat) LD50: 3200 mg/kg Skin - Slight Irritant * Oral (rat) LD50: 3200 mg/kg *** Skin (rabbit): Mild *** Dermal (rabbit) LD50: > 16 ml/kg * Eyes - Moderate Irritant * Dermal (g.pig) LD50: >16 ml/kg *** Inhalation (rat) LC50: >3.55 mg/l/6h Inhalation (rat) LC50: 1600 mg/kg *** Eye (rabbit): Mild *** Skin sensitisation (guinea pig): none. * Not a skin sensitiser (guinea pig, Magnusson-Kligman) *** Ames Test: negative *** Micronucleus, mouse: negative *** Not mutagenic *** No effects on fertility or foetal development seen in the rat *** * [SWIFT] ** [Eastman] *** [Perstop] 5-CHLORO-2-METHYL-4-ISOTHIAZOLIN-3-ONE: Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke's oedema. The pathogenesis of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type. Other allergic skin reactions, e.g. contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune reactions. The significance of the contact allergen is not simply determined by its sensitisation potential: the distribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are equally important. A weakly sensitising substance which is widely distributed can be a more important allergen than one with stronger sensitising potential with which few individuals come into contact. From a clinical point of view, substances are noteworthy if they produce an allergic test reaction in more than 1% of the persons tested. The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis. 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. Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence of preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the criteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposure to the irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that occurs as result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particulate in nature) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases. The disorder is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucus production. NOTE: Substance has been shown to be mutagenic in at least one assay, or belongs to a family of chemicals producing damage or change to cellular DNA. No significant acute toxicological data identified in literature search. Considered to be the major sensitiser in Kathon CG (1) (1).

· Recycle wherever possible.
· Consult manufacturer for recycling options or consult local or regional waste
management authority for disposal if no suitable treatment or disposal facility can be
identified.
· Dispose of by: Burial in a licenced land-fill or incineration in a licenced apparatus
(after admixture with suitable combustible material).
· Decontaminate empty containers. Observe all label safeguards until containers are
cleaned and destroyed.
· Containers may still present a chemical hazard/ danger when empty.
· Return to supplier for reuse/ recycling if possible.
Otherwise:
· If container can not be cleaned sufficiently well to ensure that residuals do not
remain or if the container cannot be used to store the same product, then puncture
containers, to prevent re-use, and bury at an authorised landfill.
· Where possible retain label warnings and MSDS and observe all notices pertaining to the
product.
