:
Potential health effects - see Section 11 for toxicological data.
Eye: may cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is
unlikely. Mists may cause eye irritation.
Skin: Prolonged contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. A single prolonged
exposure is not likely to result in material being absorbed through skin in
harmful amounts. Repeated exposures may cause flaking and softening of skin.
May be absorbed in potentially harmful amounts when applied in large quantities
to severe burns (second or third degree) over large areas of the body as part of
cream or other topical application. Absorption under such circumstances can
elevate serum osmolality and may result in osmotic shock.
Inhalation: At room temperature, vapors are minimal due to physical properties
Mists may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract.
Systemic: (other target organ) Effects: Repeated excessive ingestion may cause
central nervous system effects.
Cancer Information: Did not cause cancer in long-term animal studies.
Teratology (Birth Defects): Birth defects are unlikely. Exposures having no
