There is no data available on the product itself.
Exposure to organic solvent vapours may result in adverse health effects such as irritation of the mucous
membrane and the respiratory system and adverse effects on the renal and central nervous systems.
Symptoms include headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness, drowsiness and in extreme cases, loss of
consciousness. Repeated or prolonged contact with the product may lead to removal of natural fats from the
skin resulting in non-allergic contact dermatitis and absorption through the skin. Splashes in the eyes may cause
irritation and reversible local damage.
