SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION / CARCINOGENICITY
ACGIH
Silica, crystalline & trace residual Formaldehyde present in base emulsion are suspected human carcinogens. Monomers used in base emulsions are
confirmed animal carcinogens w/ unknown relevance to humans.
OSHA
Trace residual Formaldehyde present in base emulsion viewed as a possible cancer hazard. Monomer used in base emulsion, a cancer hazard.
IARC
Trace residual Formaldehyde: Human carcinogen. Monomers in base emulsion: Possible carcinogen. Crystalline silica: human carcinogen.
NTP
Silica, crystalline; Known carcinogen. Trace residual Formaldehyde & various monomers used in polymerization of base emulsion: 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. There is some evidence that breathing respirable crystalline silica or the
disease silicosis is associated w/ an increased incidence of significant disease endpoints such as scleroderma (an immune system disorder
manifested by fibrosis of the lungs, skin & other internal organs), rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus, erythematosus, sarcoidosis, chronic
bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, chronic kidney disease & end-stage renal disease.
