Health Hazards :The ingredients are not listed in ACGIH(1986) and OSHA(1989) except carbon black and paraffin wax.

Carcinogenicity : In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Groupe 2B carcinogen (possible human carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate human evidence, but sufficient ani- mal evidence on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the devel- opment of lung tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats did not show any association between carbon black and lung tumors.

Signs and Symptoms of Exposure : not applicable

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure : not applicable

Emergency and First Aid Procedures : not applicable
