XI. Toxicological Information
Lifetime skin painting studies with refinery oils similar to those used in this material and/or its major components have
produced tumors following prolonged and repeated skin contact. Repeated dermal application of these materials
(30MG/KG/Day for 13 weeks) resulted in anemia, liver degeneration and injury to bone marrow and lymphoid tissues.
Treatment related mortality and body weight reduction was observed at 500 MG/KG. Repeated dermal application (125
MG/KG/Day) of these materials to pregnant rats during gestation produced maternal and fetal toxicity. Increased
resorptions were observed at doses of 30 MG/KG/Day and above.
Summary of health effect data on components:
This product contains 0.8% 4-6- numbered condensed ring polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Some PAHs such
as benzo(a)phenathrene, benz(a)anthracene, and benzo(j,k)fluorene have been shown to be carcinogenic in experimental
animals. An increased risk of cancer has been observed. In workers employed in the aluminum production, coal
gasification, coal-tar pitch, coke production and iron and steel industries that had been occupationally exposed to
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Since these kinds of PAHs have been measured at high levels in air samples taken in
these industries, IARC has concluded that these PAHs are probably carcinogenic to humans.
XII. Ecological Information
If released to waterways, material can foul shoreline and may be harmful to aquatic life.
XIII. Disposal Considerations
Waste Disposal Method: Landfill solids at permitted Empty Container Precautions: Empty containers retain
sites. Use registered transporters. Burn concentrated product residue (liquid and/or vapor,) and can be
