From MSDS
This product contains small amount of vinyl acetate which is
classified as a class 2B carcinogen by IARC. Vinyl acetate was shown to
cause cancer in the respiratory tract of laboratory animals. There is no
evidence that vinyl acetate causes cancer in humans. The IARC published a
monograph on vinyl acetate (1995). In this monograph IARC indicates "there
is inadequate evidence in humans for carcinogenicity of vinyl acetate. There
is limited evidence in experimental animals for carcinogenicity of vinyl
acetate." Normally, this lack of conclusive evidence would place a
substance in the IARC Category 3 classification (Not classified as a human
carcinogen). However, because vinyl acetate is metabolized to acetaldehyde,
which has an IARC 2B (Possibly carcinogenic to humans) classification, it
also has been listed under Category 2B.
