10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability: Stable.
Conditions to avoid: Open flames, sparks, and ignition sources.
Incompatibility: Strong oxidizers such as liquid chlorine, sodium or calcium hypochlorite, and pure oxygen.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, oxides of sulfur and other decomposition products
may form from incomplete combustion.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
HEALTH HAZARDS:
Inhalation: Not a known route of entry under typical conditions. If overcome by vapors from hot product,
remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration if trained. Get medical attention.
Eye: May cause moderate to severe irritation.
Skin: May cause moderate skin irritation on prolonged contact. Prolonged skin contact with oils tends to
remove skin oils possibly leading to irritation and dermatitis. Based on human experience and available
toxicological data, this product is judged to be neither a corrosive nor an irritant by OSHA criteria.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting due to potential for aspirations into the lungs.
Sensitization: None.
Chronic: Not established
Carcinogenicity: Not a carcinogen
Mutagenicity: Not mutagenic.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Unknown.
Reproductive Toxicity: None
Acute Toxicity Values: Low levels of oral and dermal toxicity.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environmental Toxicity: Not established.
Environmental Transport: Unknown.
Environmental Degradation: Not readily biodegradable.
Soil Absorption/Mobility: Unknown
