11.1 Information on toxicological effects
Acute Toxicity
Ingestion
Very low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury.
LD50, rat > 5,000 mg/kg
Aspiration hazard
Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard.
Dermal
Prolonged skin contact with very large amounts may cause dizziness or drowsiness.
LD50, rabbit > 5,000 mg/kg
Inhalation
No adverse effects are anticipated from single exposure to vapor. For respiratory irritation and narcotic effects: Relevant data not available.
No deaths occurred at this concentration. LC50, 6 h, rat > 10.8 mg/l
Eye damage/eye irritation
May cause pain disproportionate to the level of irritation to eye tissues. May cause slight eye irritation. May cause slight corneal injury.
Skin corrosion/irritation
Prolonged contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. Repeated contact may cause skin irritation with local redness.
Sensitization
Skin
Did not cause allergic skin reactions when tested in guinea pigs.
Respiratory
No relevant data found.
Repeated Dose Toxicity
In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Kidney. Liver. Nasal tissue.
Chronic Toxicity and Carcinogenicity
Similar material(s) did not cause cancer in laboratory animals.
Developmental Toxicity
Did not cause birth defects or other effects in the fetus even at doses which caused toxic effects in the mother.
Reproductive Toxicity
In animal studies, did not interfere with reproduction. In animal studies, did not interfere with fertility.
Genetic Toxicology
In vitro genetic toxicity studies were negative
