STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

• Summary oftoxicology
  • King Tac 2 dust may irritate the eyes and may cause dermatitis. There are reports of increased incidence of bronchitis and chest x-ray changes after prolonged heavy exposure to undefined mixtures of King Tac 2 and other dusts. Exposure to King Tac 2 can cause chronic conjunctivitis, blepharitis, and skin ulcers of the nose. Repeated and prolonged skin contact with cement can result in dermatitis of the hands, forearms and feet – this is a primary irritant dermatitis and may be complicated in some instances by allergic reactions.
