Section 11 - Toxicological Information
Product Summary
No additional toxicology information is available for this product itself. (See Component Toxicity
Information).
C
omponent Information
Propylene Glycol 57-55-6
Acute Toxicity - Lethal Doses
LD50 (Oral) Rat 22,000 MG/KG BWT
LD50 (Skin) Rabbit. 20,800 MG/KG BWT
Irritation
Skin Not a skin irritant. Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
Eye May cause minor eye irritation. Effects of eye irritation are reversible.
Sensitization
Not expected to cause sensitization by skin contact, however skin reactions of unknown etiology
have been described in some hypersensitive individuals following topical application.
Target Organ Effects
Skin: Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause defatting and drying of the skin which
may result in dermatitis.
Repeated Dose Toxicity
No adverse systemic changes were reported in rats or dogs following repeated dietary exposure
to high concentrations of propylene glycol. Cats responded with species-specific hematological
changes (Heinz body formation) yet all other tissues were unaffected. No systemic effects, but
mild eye and nasal irritation were noted in rats following sub-chronic exposure to high
concentrations of propylene glycol aerosol. Overall propylene glycol is of low inherent toxicity
following repeated oral or inhalation exposure.
Reproductive Effects
No adverse effect on reproductive performance was seen in male and female mice exposed
continuously to high doses of propylene glycol in drinking water for up to 3 months.
Developmental Effects
Results from studies in pregnant rats, mice, hamsters and rabbits demonstrate that propylene
glycol is not teratogenic or fetotoxic.
Genetic Toxicity
Negative for genotoxicity both in vitro and in vivo tests.
Carcinogenicity
No increase in tumors was noted in rats and dogs exposed to high concentrations of propylene
glycol via the diet for up to 2 years. The incidence of skin tumors was unaltered in mice following
dermal application over a lifetime. Not listed by IARC, NTP, or OSHA.
