The substance does not fulfill all screening criteria for persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity and hence is not considered to be PBT or vPvB.

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

The substance/mixture does not contain components considered to have endocrine disrupting properties according to Technical Regulation of Ukraine and other relevant legislations on the assessment of the properties of endocrine disruptors at levels of 0.1% or high- er.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

The substance/mixture does not contain components considered to have endocrine disrupting properties according to Technical Regulation of Ukraine and other rel- evant legislations on the assessment of the properties of endocrine disruptors at levels of 0.1% or higher. Vapours are heavier than air. Vapours may travel across the ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a flashback fire danger. Even with proper grounding and bonding, this material can still accumulate an electrostatic charge. If sufficient charge is allowed to accumulate, electrostatic discharge and ignition of flammable air- vapour mixtures can occur. Exposure may enhance the toxicity of other materials. See Chapter 11 for details. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
