Telephone (860) 827-0626 or email: techsupport@microcare.com
Mixed Aliphatic Hydrocarbons: Skin absorption LD 50: >10,000 mg/
kg in rats. These hydrocarbons are slight skin and eye irritants.
1-Propoxy-2-Propanol: Skin absorption LD50: 3,560 mg/kg in
rabbits. Oral LD50: 3,250 mg/kg in rats. Repeated airborne exposure
to 500-2,000 ppm caused injury to the cornea in rats. Inhalation
exposure of pregnant rats to 1,500 ppm resulted only in fetus having
poorly ossified limb phalanges. No toxic effects in the mother or
offspring were seen in rabbits at 1,500 ppm.
Persons with preexisting dermatitis, asthma or fibrotoxic pulmonary
disease may be more susceptible to the toxic effects of this product.
Carcinogenicity: None of the components present in Axarel 2200 are
listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH as a carcinogen.
12. Ecological Information
This material is not expected to be toxic to aquatic life.
