Health Hazards Data
Routes of Entry: Inhalation, Ingestion, Eyes, Skin.
1Styrene-Butyl Acrylate Copolymer
Subcutaneous implantation of polymeric styrene powder in rats has induced tumors at the site of implantation.
2Carbon black
(Group 2B “Possible Carcinogen”; IARC)
Overexposure to carbon black is associated with causing irritation, conjunctivitis, and corneal hypo- plasia of the eyes; minor irritation and eczema of the skin; and irritation and bronchitis.
3Polypropylene
