Possible but very unusual
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 
animal evidence on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the 
development 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 : no data available
