Section XI – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE ORAL EFFECTS
ETHYLENE GLYCOL: CAS #107-21-1
INGESTION: Slightly toxic to humans (oral LD: 1.6 g/kg). Virtually non-toxic to animals (oral LD50 rats: 8.5 g/kg).
This product contains Crystalline Silica (CS) which is considered a hazard by inhalation. The International Association
for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified CS as probably carcinogenic for humans (Class I). Normal application
procedures pose no hazard since the silica is wet and encapsulated, but grinding or sanding dried films may yield
respirable silica dusts. Control exposures to <0.1mg/ m³ of air using approved dust filter respirators. CS has not been
classified as a carcinogen by OSHA or NTP.
ACUTE INHALATION EFFECTS
TITANIUM DIOXIDE:
In an inhalation study, E.I. DuPont’s Haskel Toxicology Laboratory found evidence of lung cancer (malignant
tumors) in 1 out of 77 male rats and 13 out of 74 female rats after they were exposed to
250 mg/m
3
titanium dioxide respirable dust for a two year period. The exposure level of 250 mg/m
3
is approximately
50 times that permitted in an occupational environment.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
CHROMIC OXIDE: CAS #1308-38-9. This material may contain approximately 100 ppm hexavalent chromium.
Hexavalent chromium is on the California Governor’s list of “chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive
toxicity.” The California Health and Welfare Agency has established a “no significant risk” level for hexavalent
chromium of 0.001 micrograms/day. Workplace exposure to this product below the TLV for chromic oxide could
result in exposure to hexavalent chromium in excess of 0.001 micrograms/day. Appropriate warnings should be given.
Section XII – ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Well-diluted products would have no environmental consequences. Less than 5% ethylene glycol present in this product yields
the following environmental fate considerations: Ethylene glycol is 100% volatile. Once volatilized it will react in the
atmosphere with hydroxyl radicals with a half-life on about 1 day. For accidental spills, note that ethylene glycol in typical
river water at 20°C was found to completely degrade in 3 days. At temperatures of 8°C, degradation occurred in 7 days.
Toxicity to fish: LD50 Carrasisus auratus (goldfish) greater than 5,000 gl/L/24 hour. Modified ASTM D 1345.
Algea:(Chlorella pyrenoidosa) 180,000 mg/L toxic.
Section XIII – DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
The coating and any contaminated diking material should be thoroughly air dried and collected into drums. The
drums should them be sealed and properly labeled with waste designation and land filled or incinerated according to
local , county, state and federal regulations.
