General Information 100-00-40 100-00-40 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION drowsiness. In extreme cases, loss of consciousness may result. Long term exposure to vapor concentrations may result in adverse health effects. Prolonged contact with the skin may have a defatting effect which may lead to skin irritation and in some cases, dermatitis. Splashes entering the eye will cause discomfort and possible damage. Any spraying should preferably be carried out in exhaust ventilated booths, removing vapors and spray droplets from the breathing zone. Wear appropriate gloves, eye and respiratory protection. Antifreeze See also Fire, Solvents. For example isopropanol, ethylene glycol, methanol. Highly flammable, flammable, combustible. Used in vehicle coolant systems, brake air pressure systems, screenwash solutions. Vapors may be given off from coolant antifreeze (glycol) when heated. Avoid breathing these vapors. Antifreeze may be absorbed through the skin in toxic or harmful quantities. Antifreeze, if swallowed, can be fatal and MEDICAL ATTENTION SHOULD BE SOUGHT IMMEDIATELY. These products must not be used in any cooling or industrial water system that is connected or linked to general, food preparation or drinking water supplies. Asbestos See also Warning Symbols on Vehicles at the end of this subsection. Breathing asbestos dust may cause lung damage or, in some cases, cancer. Used in brake and clutch linings, transmission brake bands and gaskets. The use of drum cleaning units, vacuum cleaning or damp wiping is preferred. Asbestos dust waste should be dampened, placed in a sealed container and marked for safe disposal. If any cutting or drilling is attempted on materials containing asbestos the item should be dampened and only hand tools or low speed power tools used. Battery Acids See also Acids and Alkalis. Gases released during charging are explosive. Never use naked flames or allow sparks near charging or recently charged batteries. Make sure there is adequate ventilation. Brake and Clutch Linings and Pads See Asbestos. Brake Fluids (Polyalkylene Glycols) See also Fire. Splashes to the skin and eyes are slightly irritating. Avoid skin and eye contact as far as possible. Inhalation vapor hazards do not arise at ambient temperatures because of the very low vapor pressure. Brazing See Welding. Chemical Materials See also Legal Aspects. Chemical materials such as solvents, sealers, adhesives, paints, resin foams, battery acids, antifreeze, brake fluids, fuels, oils and grease should always be used with caution and stored and handled with care. They may be toxic, harmful, corrosive, irritant or highly flammable and give rise to hazardous fumes and dusts. The effects of excessive exposure to chemicals may be immediate or delayed; briefly experienced or permanent; cumulative; superficial; life threatening; or may reduce life expectancy. Chemical Materials - Do's œ Do carefully read and observe hazard and precaution warnings given on material containers (labels) and in any accompanying leaflets, posters or other instructions. Material
