SECTION 2: Hazards identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Hazardous Chemical. White-tan liquid. May cause pain and slight transient eye irritation. LD50 for skin absorption in rabbits is >4000 mg/kg. Oral LD50 for rats is 2140 mg/kg. Inhalation LC50 for rats is >250 mg/M 3 for 4 hours. EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER: (800) 535-5053
Potential health effects
This section includes possible adverse effects, which could occur if this material is not handled in the recommended manner. EYE: May cause pain and slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. *Trademark of SePRO Corporation SKIN: Short single exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. The LD50 for skin absorption in rabbits is >4000 mg/kg. Did not cause allergic skin reactions when tested in guinea pigs. INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is low. The oral LD50 for rats is 2140 mg/kg. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury. INHALATION: Vapors are unlikely due to physical properties. Mists may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract. The LC50 for rats is >250 mg/M for four hours. 3 SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: Effects have been reported on the following organ: central nervous system. Repeated excessive exposure to crystalline silica may cause silicosis, a progressive and disabling disease of the lungs. Some evidence suggests that kidney effects may result from excessive exposures also.
Cancer information
Paclobutrazol did not cause cancer in laboratory animals. Commercial bentonite may contain crystalline silica, which is listed as a potential carcinogen by IARC. Crystalline silica has been shown to cancer in laboratory animals and humans. TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): Paclobutrazol caused birth defects in lab animals only at doses toxic to the mother. Paclobutrazol has been toxic to the fetus at doses non-toxic to the mother. REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: Paclobutrazol and propylene glycol did not interfere with reproduction in animal studies.
