11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute oral toxicity : (Rats): Practically non-toxic (LD50: Greater than 2000 mg/kg). Based
on testing of similar products and/or components.
Acute inhalation toxicity : (Rats): Practically non-toxic (LC50: greater than 5mg/l). Based on
testing of similar products and/or the components.
Acute dermal toxicity : (Rabbits): Practically non-toxic (LD50: greater than 2000 mg/kg).
Based on testing of similar products and/or the components.
Skin irritation : (Rabbits): Practically non-irritating. (Primary Irritation Index: greater
than 0.5 but less than 3). Based on testing of similar products and/or
the components.
Eye irritation : (Rabbits): Practically non-irritating. (Draize score: greater than 6 but
15 or less). Based on testing of similar products and/or the components.
Repeated dose toxicity : Certain straight-run middle distillates have been found to produce skin
tumors in laboratory mouse skin-painting tests, but these have usually
been associated with a high level of skin irritation. Laboratory tests have
indicated that the irritation can produce tumours. Therefore, if the
precautions outlined in this MSDS are followed to minimize repeated or
prolonged skin contact which could cause irritation, these oils should
pose no carcinogenic hazard to humans. Animal studies with similar
materials by inhalation for 12 months showed no significant neurotoxic,
blood, kidney or other effects. Prolonged repeated skin contact with low
viscosity materials may defat the skin resulting in possible irritation and
dermatitis.
Mutagenicity : Negative in a series of genetic assays and teratological studies.

Remarks : Toxic to fish, aquatic organisms and wildlife. Do not discharge into lakes,
streams, ponds and ground water supply.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste disposal : Product is suitable for burning in an enclosed, controlled burner for fuel
value or disposal by supervised incineration. Such burning may be
limited pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. In
addition, the product is suitable for processing by an approved recycling
facility or can be disposed of at any government approved waste disposal
facility. Use of these methods is subject to user compliance with
applicable laws and regulations and considerations of product
characteristics at time of disposal.
Contaminated packaging : Empty containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapour) and can be
dangerous. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS, STATIC ELECTRICITY, OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION; THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. Do not attempt to refill or clean container since residue is difficult to remove. Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner. All containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations.
Other regulations : Disposal of unused product may be subject to RCRA regulations (40 CFR
261). Disposal of the used product may also be regulated due to
ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity as determined by the
Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP).

16. OTHER INFORMATION
Note: Rolfes Chemicals products do not contain PCBs.
Health studies have shown that many hydrocarbons pose potential human health risks which may vary from
person to person. Information provided on this MSDS reflects intended use. This product should not be used
for any other applications. In any case, the following advice should be considered:
INJECTION INJURY WARNING: If product is injected into or under the skin, or into any part of the body,
regardless of the appearance of the wound or its size, the individual should be evaluated immediately by a
doctor as a surgical emergency. Even though initial symptoms from high pressure injection may be minimal or
absent, early surgical treatment within the first few hours may significantly reduce the ultimate extent of
injury.
