11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
EYE IRRITATION:
When applied in a standard eye irritation test using albino rabbits, the undiluted product produced mild to moderate but
transient eye irritation. If immediate rinsing with water follows instillation of undiluted product into the eye, very mild,
transient irritation is observed.
SKIN IRRITATION:
Na AGS paste is a mild to moderate irritant when exposed undiluted to the skin of albino rabbits. Human testing and
use experience has shown the product to be mild to the skin but may cause dryness with prolonged exposure.
SKIN SENSITIZATION:
Na AGS is not a skin sensitizer. Results of animal and human testing of this material and extensive use experience support
this conclusion.
NAME: AGS-1214 REVISION DATE: November 22, 2002 Page 6 of 7
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION - CONTINUED
ACUTE ORAL TOXICITY:
The acute oral LD50 of Na AGS paste as is in albino rats was 3.65 g/kg. For comparison, the LD50 of table salt is generally
recognized to be 3.75 g/kg. The LD50 of the active ingredients was 1.88 g/kg, which is comparable to other commonly used
surfactants.
