11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Health Effects:
Acute -
Swallowed: Irritating to the gastro-intestinal tract if swallowed.
Eye: Irritating to the eyes.
Skin: Principal route of exposure is usually by skin contact. One
component may be absorbed by the skin and is capable of
causing skin reactions. Irritating to the skin.
Inhalation: Risk is low if product is used as directed, but
breathing of concentrated vapour should be avoided.
Symptoms of excessive inhalation include irritation of mucous
membranes and respiratory system, headache and nausea.
Avoid generating a mist which may cause coughing.
Health Effects:
Chronic -
Repeated or prolonged skin contact
may cause burns, swelling, blistering or dermatitis.
Toxicity data: Not available for mixture.
2-butoxy ethanol: Acute oral (rat) LD50: 1480 mg/kg.
Inhalation (LC50) (mouse): 700 ppm/7hrs.
Sodium metasilicate: oral (rat) LD50: 1153 mg/kg.
