Principle Routes of Exposure

ABSORBTION (SKIN) (EYES): YES INGESTION: YES INJECTION: NO INHALATION: NO

Acute Health Hazards

None Known – Not believed to have harmful health effects INGESTION/SWALLOWED: (Unknown)  Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual.  No harmful effects expected in amounts likely to be ingested by accident.  Overexposure is unlikely in this form.  Nonionic surfactants may produce localized irritation of the oral or gastrointestinal lining and induce vomiting and mild diarrhea. EYE: (Unknown)  Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material may cause eye irritation in a substantial number of individuals.  Prolonged eye contact may cause inflammation characterized by a temporary redness of the conjunctiva (similar to windburn).  Non-ionic surfactants can cause numbing of the cornea, which masks discomfort normally caused by other agents and leads to corneal injury. Irritation varies depending on the duration of contact, the nature and concentration of the surfactant. SKIN: (Unknown)  The material may cause moderate inflammation of the skin either following direct contact or after a delay of some time. Repeated exposure can cause contact dermatitis which is characterized by redness, swelling and blistering.  Prolonged contact may cause dryness of the skin.  Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects, however the material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds, lesions or abrasions.  Repeated exposure may cause skin cracking, flaking or drying following normal handling and use.  Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material.  Entry into the blood-stream through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects.  Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected. INHALATION: (Unknown)  The material is not thought to produce either adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory tract following inhalation (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless, adverse effects have been produced following exposure of animals by at least one other route and good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.  In high concentrations, vapors may be irritating to the respiratory system.

Health hazards

None Known – Not believed to have harmful chronic health effects  Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects adverse to the health (as classified using animal models); nevertheless, exposure by all routes should be minimized as a matter of course. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause degreasing with drying, cracking and dermatitis following. CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS Not available.
