HEALTH HAZARD DATA
_________________________________________________________________
PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: DERMAL
ORAL LD50: (Rat) >5,000 MG/KG
DERMAL LD50: (Rabbit) >2,100 MG/KG
SKIN IRRITATION: (Rabbit) Mild irritation
EYE IRRITATION: (Rabbit) None
SENSITIZATION: (Guinea Pig) Sensitizer
INHALATION LC50: (RAT) 6.1mg/l for a 4-hour exposure: Toxic by
inhalation (Minor ingredient).
OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS: Irritation, sensitization and dermatitis.
OVEREXPOSURE CHRONIC:
Mice receiving skin applications of the diglycidyl ether of
Bisphenol A or essentially identical resins for two years have
yielded very limited evidence of weak carcinogenicity. The
published report on this study concludes that this resin product
"is not a systemic carcinogen when applied to the skin of CF 1
mice" and the tumor data "was of no biological importance. Based
on all available data, IARC (International Agency for Research on
Cancer) has concluded in 1988 that DGEBPA is not classified as a
carcinogen.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Allergy, Eczema, or
skin conditions.
