11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Effects:
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed in large quantity.
Eye Contact: Causes serious eye irritation with symptoms of discomfort, pain, tearing and
redness.
Skin Contact: Contact with the product may cause irritation with redness and swelling. Prolonged
or repeated contact may result in drying and cracking or skin and an allergic skin reaction.
Inhalation: Irritating to nose, throat and respiratory tract. May cause allergy or asthma symptoms
or breathing difficulties.

Chronic Effects: Animal ingestion studies, at high doses, indicate that borate compounds cause
male reproductive effects in laboratory animals. A human study of occupational exposure to borate
dust showed no adverse effect on reproduction. Borate compounds have been classified as
suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child.

Other Health Effects Information: Possible adverse effects from repeated or prolonged exposure
by ingestion, inhalation or skin contact. Individuals with pre-existing disease or a history of
ailments involving skin, eye, respiratory tract, liver, kidney and central nervous system, may
be at greater than normal risk of developing adverse effects when exposed to this product.
