values obtained with 15-minute exposure durations cannot be reliably converted to 4-hour exposures.
Eye Irritation:
Not expected to be an eye irritant. Contact with liquefied isobutane may cause
cold burns/frostbite and permanent eye damage.
Skin Irritation:
Not expected to be a primary skin irritant. Contact with liquefied isobutane may
cause cold burns/frostbite.
Ingestion Effects:
Not applicable. Not an expected route of entry.
Inhalation Effects:
Inhalation of high concentrations can cause CNS effects and weak cardiac
sensitization (to adrenaline).
Skin Sensitization:
Contact with this product is not expected to cause skin sensitization, based upon
the available data and the known hazards of the components.
Respiratory Tract
Sensitization:
Contact with this product is not expected to cause respiratory tract sensitization,
based upon the available data and the known hazards of the components.
Chronic Toxicity
Carcinogenicity:
This product is not known to contain any components at >= 0.1% that have been
shown to cause cancer. Therefore, based upon the available data and the
known hazards of the components, this product is not expected to be a
carcinogen.
Mutagenicity:
This product is not known to contain any components at >= 0.1% that have been
shown to cause mutagenicity. Therefore, based upon the available data and the
known hazards of the components, this product is not expected to be a mutagen.
Reproductive Toxicity:
This product is not known to contain any components at >= 0.1% that have been
shown to cause reproductive toxicity. Therefore, based upon the available data
and the known hazards of the components, this product is not expected to be a
reproductive toxin.
Teratogenicity/Embryotoxicity:
This product is not known to contain any components at >= 0.1% that have been
shown to cause teratogenicity and/or embryotoxicity. Therefore, based upon the
available data and the known hazards of the components, this product is not
expected to be a teratogen/embryotoxin.
Other Chronic Effects:
Exposure to isobutane is not known to cause chronic toxic effects of sufficient
severity to threaten life or cause serious impairment.
