Potential health effects

Inhalation Nalkylene: Breathing of the mists, vapors or fumes may irritate the nose, throat and lungs. Alcohol ethoxylate phosphate ester: Vapors or mist, expecially as generated from heating the material or as from exposure in poorly ventilated areas or confined spaces, may be irritating and cause discomfort in nose and throat. Prolonged exposure may cause difficulty breathing. Butoxy Ethanol: Vapors may cause irritation to the nose, throat, and respiratory tract and are toxic if inhaled. Vapors or mist, expecially as generated from heating the material or as from exposure in poorly ventilated areas or confined spaces, may be irritating and cause discomfort in nose and throat. Prolonged exposure may cause difficulty breathing. Ingestion Nalkylene: May cause irritation of the mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract. Exposure may also cause central nervous system symptoms. Alcohol ethoxylate phosphate ester: May be harmful by ingestion. Butoxy Ethanol: Moderately toxic if ingested. May be harmful by ingestion. Skin Nalkylene: May cause skin irritation. Alcohol ethoxylate phosphate ester: Brief contact may cause slight irritation. Prolonged contact, as with clothing wetted with material, may cause more severe irritation and discomfort. Butoxy Ethanol: Product is mildly irritating to the skin and toxic if absorbed through the skin. Brief contact may cause slight irritation. Prolonged contact, as with clothing wetted with material, may cause more severe irritation and discomfort. Eyes Nalkylene: Exposure to vapors, fumes or mists may cause irritation. Direct contact may cause irritation. Alcohol ethoxylate phosphate ester: Causes irritation and possible injury to the cornea. Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure Inhalation Nalkylene: Sore throat, coughing, labored breathing, sneezing and burning sensation, depending on the concentration and duration of exposure. May cause central nervous system depression or effects. Symptoms may include headache, excitation, euphoria, dizziness, incoordination, drowsiness, light-headedness, blurred vision, fatigue, tremors, convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest and death, depending on the concentration and duration of exposure. Alcohol ethoxylate phosphate ester: Discomfort in nose and throat, nasal discharge, coughing, difficulty breathing. Butoxy Ethanol: Burning in nose and throat, coughing. Headache, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, nausea. Discomfort in nose and throat, nasal discharge, coughing, difficulty breathing. Ingestion Nalkylene: Salivation, pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Exposure may also cause central nervous system symptoms similar to those listed under Inhalation. Alcohol ethoxylate phosphate ester: Abdominal discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea. Butoxy Ethanol: Headache, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting. Abdominal discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea. Skin Nalkylene: Drying, reddening, itching, and cracking. Repeated or prolonged contact with large amounts of this material may result in absorption through the skin to produce toxic effects. Alcohol ethoxylate phosphate ester: Local redness and swelling. Butoxy Ethanol: Redness, pain and itching. Local redness and swelling. Eyes Nalkylene: Redness, tearing, and blurred vision. Alcohol ethoxylate phosphate ester: Excess blinking and tear production. Marked redness and swelling of the eye with injury to the cornea. Butoxy Ethanol: Redness, tearing, and pain. Not listed by NTP or IARC as a known or possible carcinogen.

Butoxy Ethanol: No information found. No information available. Reproductive Toxicitiy Nalkylene: No information available. Alcohol ethoxylate phosphate ester: No information available. Butoxy Ethanol: Inhalation exposure of pregnant rabbits caused some lethality to the dam and fetus at 200 ppm, but there were no effects at 100 ppm and below. Inhalation exposure to pregnant rats caused irritancy to the dams and related fetotoxicity at 200 and 100 ppm, but there were no effects at 50 ppm and below. No information available.
