Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health: The IDLH concentration has not been established for this
product. For Formaldehyde: 100 ppm
SIGNS, SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE
Inhalation
Acute: If inhaled, may cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract. Any irritation would be transient
with no permanent damage expected. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause headache,
dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated inhalation of this product may cause allergic respiratory sensitization.

MATERIAL
SAFETY DATA
Skin
Acute: Skin contact may produce mild irritation consisting of transient redness. This irritant effect would
not result in permanent damage.
Chronic: Since liquid material may be absorbed through the skin, prolonged or repeated contact may result
in absorption of harmful amounts. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis.
Repeated or prolonged skin contact may also cause some individuals to develop skin rash or other
skin complications due to allergic skin sensitization.
Eye
Contact with the eyes would be expected to cause irritation consisting of reversible redness, swelling, tearing, and mucous
discharge to the conjunctiva.
Ingestion
Acute: No data is available on the effects of acute ingestion of this product. However, ingestion may
cause gastrointestinal discomfort with any or all of the following symptoms: nausea, lethargy or
diarrhea.
Chronic: There are no known or reported effects from chronic exposure
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Skin
Skin contact may aggravate and existing dermatitis
INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER CHEMICALS WHICH ENHANCE TOXICITY
None known or reported
ANIMAL TOXICOLOGY
Inhalation LC 50: No Data. Believed to be slightly toxic
Dermal LD 50: No Data. Believed to be slightly toxic
Oral LD 50: No Data. Believed to be slightly toxic
Irritation: Skin, eye, mucous membrane, and respiratory irritant.
Acute Target organ Toxicity
May cause skin, eye, mucous membrane, and respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of high concentrations of vapors may cause
dizziness or drowsiness.
Chronic Target Organ Toxicity
This product may cause dermatitis upon prolonged or repeated skin contact. Formaldehyde has oral (rat) and dermal (rabbit)
LD50 values of 100 mg/kg and 270 mg/kg respectively. The LC50 following a 4-hour inhalation exposure to rats is 250-478 ppm
(0.31 鈥? 0.59 mg/l. Irritation of the nose and throat has been observed in people exposed to formaldehyde vapor levels in excess of
1ppm. Formaldehyde has been reported to cause pulmonary hypersensitivity in some individuals who were exposed to
concentrations known to cause irritation. Lifetime inhalation of formaldehyde vapor at concentrations above 5ppm for 6 hours
per day caused nasal tumors in laboratory animals. Inhalation of formaldehyde caused liver and kidney damage in laboratory
animals.
Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity
Formaldehyde did not cause birth defects in rats inhaling concentrations up to 10 ppm. However, a study using higher levels did
show a slight but statistically significant reduction in male fetal body weight.

SAFETY DATA
Carcinogenicity
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified formaldehyde as a Group 1 (known) human carcinogen based on
epidemiological evidence linking formaldehyde exposure to the occurrence of nasopharyngeal cancer, a rate type of cancer.
IARC also found limited evidence of cancer of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses and insufficient evidence for an association
between formaldehyde and leukemia.
Mutagenicity
Formaldehyde was found to be weakly mutagenic in a number of in vitro genotoxicity tests and positive in certain in vivo
screening tests for mutagenicity.
Aquatic Toxicity
Formaldehyde is harmful to aquatic organisms Individual constituents are as follows:
