Toxicological Information Routes of Entry Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans Other Toxic Effects on Humans Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans other Toxic Effects on Humans Inhalation. Ingestion. Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 80 mg/kg [Rat (female)]. Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant). Slightly hazardous in case of ingestion. Non-hazardous in case of inhalation. This product may contain trace amounts of the following which may cause cancer: Propylene Oxide; Acetaldehyde,4-Dioxane; Formaldehyde; Ethylene Oxide This product may contain trace amounts of the following which may cause reproductive harm: Ethylene Oxide Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: Causes skin irritation with discomfort, local redness, and possible swelling. Eyes: Causes eye irritation experienced as stinging and discomfort or pain. Excess redness and swelling of the conjunctiva and corneal injury may also occur. Inhalation: At room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to a low volatility; single exposure is not likely to be hazardous. Vapor from heated material or mist may cause serious adverse effects. Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed. Moderately toxic. May cause irritation of the mouth and throat, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Sluggishness, drowsiness, incoordination, and weakness may occur. Aspiration into the lungs may occur during ingestion or vomiting, causing lung damage or death due to chemical pneumonia. Chronic Potential Health Effects: Skin: Repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Section 2.
