11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Toxicity
All components have a low order of acute toxicity. All components have oral LD50s (rat) greater than
4000mg/kg. In dermal toxicity studies, this product was not found to be a primary skin irritant when
applied to rabbit skin for 24 or 48 hours.
Triethanolamine: A 20 mg dose applied to the rabbit eye caused severe irritation. Oral LD50 (rat)
8,680 mg/kg
Glycerin: A 126 mg/kg dose applied to the rabbit eye caused mild irritation. When injected into the
rabbit eye, caused inflammation and edema of the cornea.
Cetyl Alcohol: Oral LD50 (rat) 6.4-12.8 g/kg.
Chronic Toxicity/Carcinogenicity
Triethanolamine: Oral exposure in rats (16 gm/kg for 64 weeks) and mice (154 gm/kg for 61 weeks)
caused blood lymphomas, including Hodgkin's disease and tumors of the skin and appendages.
Stearic Acid: When implanted in mice at a concentration of 400 mg/kg, this compound caused an
increased incidence of bladder tumors.
Genotoxicity
Glycerin: DNA inhibition (human, lymphocyte); cytogenetic analysis (rats, in vivo).
Triethanolamine: Cytogenetic analysis and sister chromatid exchange (human, lymphocyte).
Reproductive/Developmental Toxicity
Glycerin: Oral administration to male rats (100 mg/kg) prior to mating caused post-implantation
mortality. Intratesticular injection (119-1600 mg/kg) caused paternal effects (spermatogenesis) and
effects on fertility.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Mobility
No relevant studies identified.
Persistence/Degradability
Triethanolamine: If released to soil, will biodegrade rapidly. Bioconcentration, adsorption to sediment
and volatilization are not expected to be significant fate processes (BCF < 1; log Kow = -1.59).
Bio-accumulation
No relevant studies identified.
Ecotoxicity
Triethanolamine:
Tests on the following species gave a 24h LD50 of 3500 - 75000mg/litre: - goldfish
