mineral base oils: Base oils in this product are severely
solvent refined and/or severely hydrotreated. Chronic mouse skin
painting studies of severely treated oils showed no evidence of
carcinogenic effects. These results are confirmed on a
continuing basis using various screening methods such as Modified
Ames Test, IP-346, and/or other analytical methods. For
synthetic base oils: The base oils in this product have been
tested in the Ames assay and other tests of mutagenicity with
negative results. These base oils are not expected to be
carcinogenic with chronic dermal exposures.
---SENSITIZATION (SUMMARY)---
Not expected to be sensitizing based on tests of this product,
components, or similar products.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE AND EFFECTS:
In the absence of specific environmental data for this product, this
assessment is based on information for representative products.
ECOTOXICITY: Available ectoxicity data (LL50 >1000 mg/L) indicates
that adverse effects to aquatic organisms are not expected from
this product.
MOBILITY: When released into the environment, adsorption to sediment
and soil will be the predominant behavior.
PERSISTENCE AND DEGRADABILITY: This product is expected to be
inherently biodegradable.
BIOACCUMULATIVE POTENTIAL: Bioaccumulation is unlikely due to the very
low water solubility of this product, therefore bioavailability
to aquatic organisms is minimal.
