11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Toxicity
Critoseal Tube Sealant was extracted at 0.2 g/ml, in cell culture medium (with Earles salt and 10%
fetal bovine serum) and tested according to USP XXIII,(87) Biological Reactivity, In Vitro, Elution Test
per General Control Procedure - Toxicology, revision 6:GCP T-21. No significant in vitro biological
reactivity was detected and is not cytotoxic. This product is acceptable for direct contact with tissue or
blood in a clinical application.
Chronic Toxicity/Carcinogenicity
This product is not expected to cause long term adverse health effects.
Genotoxicity
This product is not expected to cause any mutagenic effects.
Reproductive/Developmental Toxicity
This product is not expected to cause reproductive or developmental health effects.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Mobility
(Bis-(2-ethylhexyl)terephthalate)
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate is expected to be essentially immobile in soil given an estimated Koc of
870,000.
Persistence/Degradability
(Bis-(2-ethylhexyl)terephthalate)
Biodegradation in soil is expected to be a major fate process for bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate based
on results for a similar compound, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate; this compound undergoes aerobic and
possibly anaerobic biodegradation.
Bio-accumulation
(Bis-(2-ethylhexyl)terephthalate)
Based on an estimated BCF value of 1,400,000, bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate should bioconcentrate
in aquatic organism. However, a structurally similar compound, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, had a
measured BCF value of 637 with a depuration half-life of 38 days in sheepshead minnows therefore,
may be readily metabolized by some organisms.
Ecotoxicity
No relevant studies identified.
13. DISPOSAL
Dispose of in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations.
