TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

 

ORAL TOXICITY                     The LD50 in rats is > 5000 mg/kg.  Base on data from components of

                                                      similar materials.

EYE IRRITATION                    Not expected to cause eye irritation

 

SKIN IRRITATION                  Not expected to be a primary skin irritant.  Prolong or repeated skin

                                                     contact  may cause dermatitis.  Symptoms may include redness, edema,

                                                     drying, and cracking of the skin.

RESPIRATORY IRRITATION  If material is misted or if vapors are generated from heating, exposure

                                                        may cause irritation to the mucous membranes and the upper respiratory

                                                        tract similar to that observed with mineral oil.  Under normal use                               

                                                        respiratory irritation should not be a problem.

 

OTHER EXPOSURE                  No other health hazards known.

LIMITS                                        Contains mineral oil.  Under conditions which may generate mists,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

                                                       observe the OSHA PEL of 5 mg per cubic meter, ACGIH STEL of 10                                            

                                                        meter.
