11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No toxicological data related to the preparation are available.
When available, the toxicological information relating to the main components are listed below.
3,6-diazaoctaneethylenediamin
LD50 (oral): > 2.500 mg/kg (rat)
LD50 (dermal): > 500 mg/kg (rabbit)
Studies carried out by manufactures have observed that a particular ethyleneamine, DETA (diethylenetriamine), has a very high acute toxicity by inhalation of aerosols. The NOEL (no effect level) has been established at concentrations <0,07 mg/l (4 h). It can be assumed that same effects are applicable to other ethyleneamines.
Even if the formation of aerosols is rare in industrial applications of ethyleneamines, it is necessary to avoid inhalation by good ventilation and using masks to protect respiratory system.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Adopt sound working practices, so that the product is not released into the environment.
When available, the toxicological information relating to the main components are listed below.
3,6-diazaoctaneethylenediamin
Not readily biodegradable.
Acute toxicity LC/EC/IC 50 = 20-600 mg/l.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Recover if possible. In doing so, comply with the local and national regulations currently in force.

14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION
This product is not classified as dangerous under transport regulations.
