SECTION 11
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Oral toxicity:
Not determined.
Dermal toxicity:
Not determined.
Inhalation toxicity:
On rare occasions, prolonged and repeated exposure to oil mist poses a risk of
pulmonary disease such as chronic lung inflammation. This condition is usually
asymptotic as a result of repeated small aspirations. Shortness of breath and
cough are the most common symptoms. Based on data from similar materials.
Der
mal sensitization:
Prolonged or repeated contact may make skin more sensitive to other skin
sensitizers. Based on data from similar materials.
Chronic toxicity:
Not determined.
Carcinogenicity:
The known components of this material are not listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or
ACGIH as known carcinogens.
Mutagenicity:
Not determined.
Reproductive toxicity:
Not determined.
Other:
The finished material has not been evaluated for toxicology. Data supplied is
based upon component evaluations.
This product contains xylene, a chemical that has been reported to cause
developmental toxicity in rats and mice exposed by inhalation during
pregnancy. The effects noted consisted of delayed development and minor
skeletal variations; additionally, when pregnant mice were exposed by
ingestion to a level that killed nearly one-third of the test group, lethality
(resorptions) and malformations (primarily cleft palate) occurred. Malformations
have not been reported following inhalation exposure. Because of the very high
levels of exposure used in these studies, we do not believe that their results
imply an increased risk of reproductive toxicity to workers exposed to xylene
levels at or below the exposure standard.
Xylene has given negative results in several mutagen testing assays including
the Ames assay. In a cancer study sponsored by the National Toxicology
Program (NTP), technical grade xylene gave no evidence of carcinogenicity in
rats or mice dosed daily for two years.
Mixed xylenes have been shown to cause probable hearing loss in rats
exposed to 800 ppm in the air for 14 hours per day for six weeks. Although no
information is available for lower concentrations, other chemicals that cause
hearing loss in rats at relatively high concentrations do not cause hearing loww
at low concentrations. Men exposed to 135 to 400 ppm of m-xylene for over 3
hours per day for a total of 4 days showed no hearing loss. Worker exposure to
xylenes at the permissible exposure limit (100 ppm, time-weighted average) is
not expected to cause hearing loss.
