HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
(See Section 11 for toxicological data.)
EYE:
May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Mists may
cause eye irritation.
SKIN CONTACT:
Prolonged contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. A single prolonged
exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts.
Repeated exposures may cause flaking and softening of skin.
INGESTION:
Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be extremely low. No hazards
anticipated from swallowing small amounts incidental to normal handling operations.
INHALATION:
At room temperature, vapours are minimal due to physical properties. Mists may
cause irritation of upper respiratory tract (nose and throat).
SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS:
Repeated excessive exposure to propylene
glycol may cause central nervous system effects.
CANCER INFORMATION:
Did not cause cancer in laboratory animals.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS):
Birth defects are unlikely. Exposures having no adverse
effects on the mother should have no effect on the fetus.
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS:
In animal studies, has been shown not to interfere with
reproduction.
