Potential health effects
See Section 11 for toxicological data.) EYE: Essentially non-irritating to eyes. SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause skin irritation. Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. INGESTION: Low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury. INHALATION: At room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to low volatility; vapor from heated material may cause respiratory irritation. Dust may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat).
