SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Inhalation: Trace components and residual monomer may cause headache, nausea,
and irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs in poorly ventilated
areas.
Skin: Prolonged or repeated skin contact can cause irritation.
Eye: Direct contact may cause eye irritation.
Ingestion: No hazard expected in normal industrial use. Ingestion is not a
likely route of exposure.
Chronic
Toxicity: None known
Toxicity Data: Adverse health effects are not expected from normal use of this
product. The following is toxological information for individual
components. Ethylene glycol can irritate the eyes and skin.
Prolonged overexposure via inhalation can cause pulmonary edema
plus liver and kidney damage. The central nervous system may be
affected exhibiting dizziness, weakness, nausea and headache.
Brain damage has resulted in humans from swallowing lethal or near
lethal amounts of ethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol causes birth
defects in experimental animals. Tests for carcinogenicity in
experimental animals are negative. Mineral spirits can cause mild
skin and eye irritation. Overexposure via inhalation can cause
respiratory irritation and central nervous system effects. Mineral
spirits can enter the lungs during swallowing or vomiting and
cause lung inflammation and chemical pneumonitis. Based on
available information, mineral spirits cannot be classified with
respect to carcinogenicity.
Sensitization: None known
Carcinogenicity: No
Mutagenicity: None known
Reproductive None anticipated based on product formula. Ethylene glycol may
Toxicity: cause birth defects based on tests with laboratory animals.
