MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
RESPIRATORY OR SKIN SENSITIZATION: Not a respiratory or skin sensitizer.
ASPIRATION HAZARD: Methanol presents an aspiration hazard.
MUTAGENIC DATA: No data.
IMMUNOTOXICITY: No data.
NEUROTOXICITY: Overexposure to methanol has been suggested as causing central nervous system damage in
laboratory animals.
DEVELOPMENTAL/REPRODUCTIVE: The inhalation of methanol by pregnant rodents throughout the period
of embryogenesis induces a wide range of concentration-dependent teratogenic and embryolethal effects.
Methanol has caused birth defects in laboratory animals, but only when inhaled at extremely high vapor
concentrations. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain.
CARCINOGEN STATUS: There is no evidence from animal studies to suggest methanol is a carcinogen.
Stoddard Solvent:
ACUTE TOXICITY:
LD50 Rat oral >34,600 mg/kg
LC50 Rat Inhalation >21,400 mg/m3 / 4 hrs
LD50 Rabbit skin 15,400 mg/kg
SKIN CORROSION / IRRITATION: Primary dermal studies (4 hr exposure) in rabbits utilizing mineral spirits
containing less than 2% aromatics resulted in slight to moderate skin irritation.
SERIOUS EYE DAMAGE / IRRITATION: In a 15 minute inhalation period, eye irritation, characterized as a
slight dryness, was reported in one of six volunteers (ages 22-61 years) at 150 ppm (860 mg/cu m). At 470 ppm
(2700 mg/cu m), ocular irritation was reported by all six volunteers.
RESPIRATORY OR SKIN SENSITIZATION: Skin sensitization was not evident in animal studies.
ASPIRATION HAZARD: This material presents an aspiration hazard.
MUTAGENIC DATA: No data.
IMMUNOTOXICITY: No data.
NEUROTOXICITY: Repeated exposure to elevated concentrations of hydrocarbon solvents can produce a
variety of transient CNS effects (e.g., dizziness, headache, narcosis, etc.)
DEVELOPMENTAL/REPRODUCTIVE: There were no treatment-related effects on pregnancy rate, mortality or
gross post mortem observations in animal studies utilizing mineral spirits containing less than 2% aromatics. In
vivo and in vitro studies on mineral spirits containing up to 22% aromatics indicate that these products are not
genotoxic.
CARCINOGEN STATUS: There is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of petroleum solvents in
humans. Animal studies have indicated that there may be some evidence of carcinogenic activity in male rats
but no evidence in female rats. A low carcinogenic potential is suggested by a lack of genotoxic potential
identified in in vivo and in vitro genetic toxicity tests.
OTHER ADVERSE EFFECTS: Chronic effects of ingestion and subsequent aspiration of mineral spirits into the
lungs may cause pneumatocele (lung cavity) formation and chronic lung dysfunction.
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with irreversible brain and
nervous system damage.
Chronic Toxicological Effects
No data available.
