11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The topical safety of Mastisol?Liquid Adhesive has been demonstrated in the following studies. The
product is considered non-cytotoxic and meets the requirements of the Agar Diffusion Test, ISO
10993-5 guidelines. A primary dermal irritation test in the rabbit showed the product to be a negligible
irritant. The product showed weak allergenic potential, Grade I sensitization rate which is not
considered significant in the guinea pig maximization test.
Gum Mastic and Storax have not been thoroughly investigated for chemical, physical and
toxicological properties. Repeated ingestion of ethanol by pregnant mothers has been shown to
adversely affect the central nervous system of the fetus, producing a collection of effects which
together constitute fetal alcohol syndrome. Repeated exposure to ethanol may aggravate liver injury
produced from other causes. Skin contact may aggravate dermatitis.
In toxicology studies Methyl Salicylate has shown eye irritation and skin irritation in guinea pigs.
Repeated large doses (both oral and dermal) have produced reproductive effects in rats.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
There is no ecological information available at this time. Prevent spilled material from entering
sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized drainage systems, and natural waterways.
13. DISPOSAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Vapors may collect in empty containers. Treat empty containers as hazardous. Dispose of spill-clean
up and other wastes in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations (contact local or
state environmental agency for specific rules). Do not dispose of via sinks, drains, or into immediate
environment.
