SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION / CARCINOGENICITY
ACGIH
Small amount of Silica, crystalline present in Calcium Carbonate & trace residual Formaldehyde present in base emulsion blend are suspected
human carcinogens. Monomers (Acrylonitrile) used in base emulsion blend are confirmed animal carcinogens w/ unknown relevance to humans.
Product LD50 not established.
OSHA
Trace residual Formaldehyde present in base emulsion viewed as a potential cancer hazard. Monomer used in polymerization process of base
emulsion blend (Acrylonitrile) listed by OSHA as a cancer hazard. Product LD50 not established.
IARC
Trace residual Formaldehyde: Human carcinogen. Monomers in base emulsion blend (Ethyl Acrylate, Acrylonitrile): Possible carcinogens.
NTP
Silica, crystalline, present in small amount in Calcium Carbonate Filler: Known carcinogen. Trace residual Formaldehyde & various monomers
used in polymerization of base emulsion blend (Ethyl Acrylate, Acrylonitrile: Anticipated carcinogens.
DATA WITH POSSIBLE
RELEVANCE TO HUMANS
Product contains trace amounts of residual Formaldehyde. OSHA & NTP identify Formaldehyde as a potential carcinogen. IARC identifies
Formaldehyde as a human carcinogen. Formaldehyde has been shown to cause mutations in a variety of in-vitro test systems, w/ human
significance unknown. Rats have shown carcinogenic effects in respiratory system. Risk should be minimal when used w/ adequate ventilation.
Maintain adequate ventilation to prevent exposure above OSHA exposure limits. Product contains trace amounts of Acrylonitrile. It is exempt
from OSHA Acrylonitrile Standard 29 CFR 1910.1045. Acrylonitrile has been classified by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans, by OSHA
as carcinogenic & by NTP as anticipated to be a human carcinogen.
