Health Effect Information
EYE CONTACT: Avoid eye contact. This product is minimally irritating to the eyes upon direct contact. Based on testing of similar products and/or components.
SKIN CONTACT: Avoid skin contact. This product is minimally irritating to the skin upon direct contact. Based on testing of similar products and/or components.
INHALATION: Avoid prolonged inhalation of mist or vapors. This product has a low vapor pressure and is not expected to present an inhalation hazard at ambient conditions. Caution should be taken to prevent aerosolization or misting of this product. Acute and chronic overexposures may be irritating to the respiratory tract.
INGESTION: Do not ingest. Ingestion of small quantities is usually nonfatal unless aspiration occurs. Aspiration may lead to chemical pneumonitis which is characterized by pulmonary edema and hemorrhage and may be fatal. Signs of lung involvement include increased respiratory rate, increased heart rate, and a bluish discoloration of the skin. Coughing, choking, and gagging are often noted at the time of aspiration. Gastrointestinal discomfort may develop, followed by vomiting with a further risk of aspiration. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal distress. Severe oral intoxication will lead to intense burning of the throat and may result in drowsiness, dullness, numbness, and headache followed by dizziness, weakness, and nausea. Loss of consciousness and
convulsions followed by death may result.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Drying and chapping may make the skin more susceptible to other irritants, sensitizers and disease.
Chronic Health Effects: From MSDS
Prolonged or repeated contact may result in contact dermatitis which is characterized by dryness, chapping, and reddening. May be absorbed through skin.
Inhalation: Avoid prolonged inhalation of vapors. Acute and chronic exposure to vapors may be irritating to the respiratory tract.
Carcinogenicity: From MSDS
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded that light and intermediate middle distillates are Group 3 substances, "not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans," based on inadequate human and inadequate animal evidence.
First Aid: From MSDS
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water and continue flushing until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated area thoroughly with soap and water. If redness or irritation occurs and persists, seek medical attention. Use a hand or skin lotion to prevent dryness.
Inhalation: No treatment is necessary under ordinary circumstances. This material has a low vapor pressure and is not expected to present an inhalation exposure at ambient conditions. If victim exhibits signs of vapor intoxication remove to fresh air.
