Section 11: Toxicological Information
ACUTE EXPOSURE
Eye Irritation: Moderate to strong eye irritation. Based on data from components or similar
material.
Skin Irritation: Not expected to be a primary skin irritant. Based on data from components or
similar material. Prolonged or repeated skin contact as from clothing wet with
material may cause dermatitis. Symptoms may include redness, edema, drying,
defatting, and cracking of the skin.
Respiratory Irritation: If material is misted or if vapors are generated from heating, exposure may cause
irritation of mucous membranes and the upper respiratory tract similar to that
observed with mineral oil. Based on data from components or similar materials.
Under good industrial hygiene practices where all exposure limits are observed,
respiratory irritation should not be a problem.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE
Chronic Toxicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% are chronic
health hazards.
Carcinogenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 0.1% are a
carcinogenic hazard.
Mutagenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a
mutagenic or genotoxic hazard.
Reproductive Toxicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a
reproductive hazard.
Teratogenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a
teratogenic hazards.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Exposure Limits: Under conditions which may generate mists, observe the OSHA PEL of 5 mg per
cubic meter.
There are extensive toxicological data available on the various components of this product. An adequate
representation of all these data is beyond the scope of this document. Please contact the AMSOIL Material
