Skin Contact Moderate irritant according to test results on similar base mixtures. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in defatting and drying of the skin causing skin irritation and dermatitis (rash). Inhalation Possibly irritating.

Health hazards
Prolonged inhalation of iron oxide dust is known to produce a condition known as siderosis. On X- rays it appears to be a benign pneumoconiosis and is not associated with pulmonary fibrosis or disability unless there is concurrent exposure to other fibrosis producing materials such as silica. Health studies have shown that many petroleum hydrocarbons pose potential human health risks which may vary from person to person. As a precaution, exposure to liquids, vapors, mists or fumes should be minimized.
