TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATIONAcute ToxicityLow order of acute toxicity.Chronic Toxicity/CarcinogenicityCarbon Black is classified by IARC: Group 2B possible human carcinogen. When encapsulated in theadhesive matrix the risk of exposure is reduced.For “inhalable” crystalline silica (quartz): IARC Overall Evaluation is 1 (carcinogenic to humans), thequartz in this formulation is in an adhesive matrix and is not expected to be “inhalable.”11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATIONGenotoxicityThis product is not expected to cause any mutagenic effects.Reproductive/Developmental ToxicityThis product is not expected to cause adverse reproductive effects.
