Symptoms are not expected at air concentrations below the recommended exposure limits, if applicable (see Section 8.).

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated by exposure to this material:, lung (for example, asthma-like conditions), Skin Symptoms Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing, swallowing, and/or passage of the material through the skin may include:, stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways), Lung irritation, central nervous system depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, unconsciousness), Lack of coordination, confusion, irregular heartbeat, narcosis (dazed or sluggish feeling), Convulsions, coma Target Organs Exposure to this material (or a component) has been found to cause kidney damage in male rats. The mechanism by which this toxicity occurs is specific to the male rat and the kidney effects are not expected to occur in humans., Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory animals:, mild, reversible liver effects Carcinogenicity Based on the available information, this material cannot be classified with regard to carcinogenicity. This product (or a component) is a petroleum-derived material. Similar materials and certain compounds occurring naturally in petroleum oils have been shown to cause skin cancer in laboratory animals following repeated exposure without washing or removal. Reproductive hazard Based on the available information, risk to the fetus from maternal exposure to this material cannot be assessed.

Further information

When heated to temperatures above 150 degrees C in the presence of air, this product can form formaldehyde vapors. Formaldehyde has been identified as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Formaldehyde is irritating to the eyes, nose, throat, and airways, and can cause an allergic reaction (causes narrowing of the air passages of the lungs, sweating, flushing, hives, rapid heart rate, and lowered blood pressure). In addition, formaldehyde can cause an allergic skin reaction (delayed skin rash which may be followed by blistering, scaling and other skin effects). It is harmful if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin.
