3.2 Potential Health Effects
· Immediate Hazards
INGESTION: No hazards known to company.
INHALATION: Not expected to be harmful under normal conditions of
use. However, if allowed to become airborne, may cause
irritation of nose, throat and lungs.
SKIN: No hazards known to company.
EYES: No hazards known to company.
· Delayed Hazards

Inhalation at approximately 50 times the level permitted in an
occupational environment caused a slight increase in lung tumor
incidence in laboratory animals. No tumors were found at lower
exposure levels. This material is not listed by NTP, classified by
IARC nor regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen.
Can cause lung fibrosis. Pre-existing respiratory disorders may
be aggravated by exposure.
4. First Aid Measures
INGESTION: If accidentally swallowed, dilute by drinking large
quantities of water. Immediately contact poison control
center or hospital emergency room for any other
additional treatment directions.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air.
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Call a
physician if irritation persists.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Autoignition Temperature Not available
Upper/Lower Flammable Limits Not available
Up/Lower Explosive Limits, % by Vol Not applicable
