SPILL, LEAK, AND
DISPOSAL
PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL
IS RELEASED
OR
SPILLED:
Confine spilled material and absorb on sand, sawdust, earth or other
available
solids. Sweep and place in a suitable container. Flush with water and
rinse
minor spills into sewer if permitted by Federal, State and local
regulations.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS:
In liquid form, these
resins are considered” hazardous waste” as the term is defined in the
Resource
Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA, 40 CFR 261, Identification and Listing
of
Hazardous Waste”, due to its characteristic of ignitability (alcohol
content).
As such, disposal of liquid via incineration is required by regulation.
However, in may areas, reacting the T50 curing agent with FX resins
first, to
produce an non-toxic, non-flammable solid followed by disposal as a
non-hazardous solid waste may be acceptable. Disposal should be in
accordance
with all applicable, local, state, and federal
laws and regulations. Consult your attorney or appropriate regulatory
officials
for information on your locality.

HEALTH
EFFECTS SUMMARY: Although the raw
materials from Monsanto which are mixed together to make T-50 are
reported to
be “Practically Non-Toxic” and “Practically Non-Irritating” in nature,
they do
contain very small quantities of Formaldehyde (<1%), Isopropyl
Alcohol
(<5%) and Methanol (<0.5%). In
pure form these three chemicals present substantial risks to health and
safety,
but the low concentration levels in T-50 reduce this to proven levels
of safety
if handled with appropriate precautions. For
the information of the user, details regarding dangers
of these
individual materials are included for reference in case of severe
over-exposure
to the product and in case of emergency or fire.
Following
are excerpts of information provided by Surface Specialties and
Cytec
regarding these components:
ISOPROPYL
ALCOHOL
In
addition to irritating effects noted earlier, swallowing of Isopropanol
also
causes central nervous system effects and digestive tract effects;
substantial
amounts may cause respiratory failure leading to death.
Although allergic skin reaction from contact
with Isopropanol is reported in the scientific literature, this effect
is
thought to be an extremely rare occurrence.
Single
dose (Acute) animal studies indicate that Isopropanol is practically
non-toxic
orally (rats), after skin application (rabbits) and by inhalation
(rats). It is moderately irritating to
rabbit eyes
and practically non-irritating to rabbit skin. Low
doses of Isopropanol orally administered daily to
human volunteers
(male) for 6 weeks produced no adverse blood changes.
Repeated and prolonged exposure to rabbits by
skin
application
produced skin irritation. Rats and
mice repeatedly exposed to Isopropanol by inhalation showed changes in
reflexes, enlarged spleens and brain changes (rats), and liver changes
(rats,
mice). No adverse effects were reported
in laboratory animals given Isopropanol in their feed (rats) or
drinking water
(dogs). A decrease in body weight gain
was the only adverse effect reported in rats administered Isopropanol
in their
drinking water for 27 weeks. In several
long-term, limited studies mice were exposed to Isopropanol by skin
application, inhalation and injection. No
increase in lung tumors was reported in the mice. No
birth defects were reported in rats
administered Isopropanol in their drinking water, even at levels which
produced
adverse effects on the offspring. Non-carcinogen.
METHANOL
Possible
reproductive hazard from prolonged exposure. May
cause blindness if swallowed. Can cause
central nervous system depression. Signs
and symptoms may include headache, dizziness,
nausea,
vomiting and drowsiness. Methanol has
not been listed by NTP, IARC or OSHA as
a carcinogen.
FORMALDEHYDE
In
addition to the irritation effect to the eyes, nasal passages,
respiratory
tract and skin, formaldehyde solutions can produce allergic skin
reactions. Numerous publications in the
scientific literature confirm the irritating properties of acute and
short-term
exposure to formaldehyde in humans and animals and discuss toxic
effects which
are probably related to the irritants properties of this chemical.
Formaldehyde
is listed as a substance that “may reasonably be anticipated to be
carcinogenic” by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) in their Fifth
Annual
Report on Carcinogens, is classified as “probably carcinogenic to
humans” by
the International Agency for Research in Cancer (IARC Monographs, Vol.
29) and
is regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen (29 CFR 1910.1048).
The NTP and IARC listings were based, in
part, on their determination that there is limited evidence for the
carcinogenicity of formaldehyde in humans. However,
the largest study (with a study population
greater that the
total of all other studies - more than 25,000 workers) found little
evidence
that mortality from cancer is associated with formaldehyde exposure at
levels
experienced by workers in the study. The
NTP and IARC also considered that there is sufficient
evidence for
the carcinogenicity of formaldehyde in experimental animals on the
basis of
studies in which nasal tumors were formed in rats and mice following
chronic
exposure to formaldehyde. Formaldehyde
produced genetic changes in a variety of standard tests.
“Pure”
formaldehyde has an oral (rat) LD50 toxicity level of 100 mg/kg. The dermal LD50 in rabbits is 270 mg/kg, and
LC50 following a 4 hour inhalation exposure to rats is 250-478 ppm. Exposure to formaldehyde vapor at
concentrations
in excess of 1 ppm may cause significant irritation of the eyes and
respiratory
tract. The irritation threshold appears
to be 0.3 ppm. No pulmonary
sensitization has been demonstrated in laboratory studies.
Formaldehyde solutions can cause severe eye
and moderate skin irritation. Repeated
skin exposure to solutions of 2% or more formaldehyde has caused
allergic skin
reactions. Formaldehyde was found to be
weakly active in a number of in vitro genotoxicity test, but inactive
in
vivo. Formaldehyde did not cause birth
defects in rats inhaling concentrations up to 10 ppm.
Lifetime inhalation of formaldehyde vapor at
concentrations above
5 ppm for 6 hours per day, caused nasal tumors in laboratory animals. Many epidemiology studies have failed to
link cancer in humans with occupational exposure to formaldehyde.
