Section VI: Health Hazard Data

Routes of entry:  Inhalation? yes    Skin? no       Ingestion? yes

Health Hazards (acute and chronic): Contact with material and fumes may cause skin, eye and

and respiratory system effects. Material is combustible and may burn with a nearly 
invisible flame. Studies show that potential health risks vary by individual. 
Always minimize exposure as a precaution.
