A corrosive acid can cause severe irritation and burns to the I eyes, skin and respiratory system. Ingestion of an acid corrosive may result in moderately I severe burns to mouth, and esophagus with more severe burns and damage to the stomach. Polymaleic acid is an irritant to the eyes, skin and respiratory system. Overexposure to mists or vapors will cause difficulty breathing due to irritation and accumulation of fluid in the lungs. Benzotriazole is an eye, skin and respiratory system irritant.. Animal studies have indicated central nervous system effects, general depressed activity and cyanosis in rats and guinea pigs. Overexposure to 1-hydroxyethane-1, 1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) may result in ‘ hypocalcemia due to the action ofthe compound on bone. B: Component Analysis - LD50/LC50 This material has no components listed. Carcinogenicity A: General Product information No carcinogenicity data available for this product.
