11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxicological information on this product or its components appear in this section when such data is
available.
Acute toxicity
Acute oral toxicity
Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts.
For the major component(s): Propylene glycol.
LD50, Rat, > 20,000 mg/kg
Acute dermal toxicity
Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts.
For the major component(s): Propylene glycol.
LD50, Rabbit, > 20,000 mg/kg
Acute inhalation toxicity
At room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to low volatility. Mist may cause
irritation of upper respiratory tract (nose and throat).
For the major component(s):
LC50, Rat, 4 Hour, vapour, 6.15 mg/l No deaths occurred following exposure to a saturated
atmosphere.
Skin corrosion/irritation
Prolonged contact is essentially nonirritating to skin.
Repeated contact may cause flaking and softening of skin.
