MSDS No. B-1028
Section 12. Toxicological Information
Acute Toxicity: Not expected to be acutely toxic; LD50 (oral, rat) expected to be >2000 mg/kg.
Chronic Toxicity: Not expected to be chronically toxic based on component information, volume,
concentration, and intended use.
Pure carbon black, a minor component of this ink, has been listed by LARC as group 2B
(possible carcinogen).
This classification is based on rat “lung particulate overload” studies performed with
airborne particulate carbon black.Ink is not listed by LARC, NTP, or OSHA.
Carcinogenicity: OSHA Regulated(USA): Not listed
In 1996 the LARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human
carcinogen). This evaluation is given to Carbon Black for which there is inadequate
human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence. The latter 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 have not demonstrated an
association between carbon black and lung tumors.
