Safety & Health

Health Effects

BIO-SOFT® 35-7 is expected to be slightly toxic orally (LD50 > 1000 mg/kg), non-irritating to the skin and severely irritating to the eyes when tested as sold. The severity of eye irritancy of alcohol ethoxylates diminishes with dilution in water: concentrations of 1% to 10% expected to cause slight to mild eye irritation

Workplace Exposure

Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors and mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace practices should be used to control these exposures.
