11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Information on Toxicological Effects:
Ingestion: None expected under normal use conditions. May be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation: Dust may cause respiratory irritation. May be harmful by inhalation. Prolonged inhalation may cause
lung damage.
Eye: Dust may cause eye irritation. Dust particles may cause abrasive injury to the eyes.
Skin: None expected under normal use conditions. Rubbing product across the skin may cause mechanical
irritation or abrasions.
Acute Toxicity Values:
No data available
Skin corrosion/irritation: Not corrosive or irritating
Eye damage/irritation: May cause eye irritation.
Respiratory irritation: Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Respiratory Sensitization: Not expected to be sensitizing
Skin Sensitization: This material is not known to cause sensitization.
Germ Cell Mutagenicity: Not expected to be a mutagen
Carcinogenicity: None of the components of this product are listed as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen by
OSHA, NTP or IARC.
Reproductive Toxicity: Not expected to cause reproductive toxicity.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity:
Single Exposure: No data available
Repeat Exposure: Long-term overexposure to respirable dust may cause lung damage (fibrosis) with symptoms
of coughing, shortness of breath and diminished breathing capacity. Chronic effects may be aggravated by
smoking. Prolonged exposure to elevated noise levels during operations may affect hearing. A greater hazard, in
most cases, is the exposure to the dust/fumes from the material or paint/coatings being brushed. Most of the dust
generated during brushing is from the base material being brushed and the potential hazard from this exposure
must be evaluated.
