Mutagenicity:
IARC has determined in reviewing cancer prevalence of exposed workers that the carcinogenic
Other:
activity of refined oils is related to the severity of processing of the base oil. IARC has determined
that solvent refined oils generally do not induce skin tumors since the PAHs are removed. The base
oils contained in this product have been highly refined by a variety of processes including solvent
extraction, hydrotreating, and dewaxing to remove aromatics, thus reducing its carcinogenic potential.
