11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Health Effects:
Acute –
Swallowed: Because of its alkalinity when un-diluted, STR-36 is
irritating to the gastro-intestinal tract if swallowed. Harmful.
Eye: Irritating to the eyes. May cause serious eye damage.
Skin: Principal route of exposure is usually by skin contact. It is
absorbed by the skin and is capable of causing skin reactions.
Irritating to the skin on contact. Repeated or prolonged skin
contact may cause burns, swelling, blistering or dermatitis.
Harmful.
Inhalation: Irritant to lungs. Avoid breathing concentrated
vapour. Harmful.
Health Effects -
