SECTION XII – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

NTP STUDY ON DIETHANOLAMINE:
Findings from the National Toxicology Program suggest an increased incidence of liver tumors in
both sexes of mice and an increased incidence of kidney tumors in male mice dermally exposed
for their lifetime to Diethanolamine. The significance of these findings and their relevance to
humans are not clear as Diethanolamine was not genotoxic (neither mutagenic nor clastogenic),
and did not induce tumors in rats or transgenic mice similarly tested.
Additional research, which is designed to provide a better understanding of these observations to
humans, if any, is underway.
The above data is for information purposes only and is accurate to the best of Colonial Chemical,
Inc.’s knowledge. No guarantees or liabilities are expressed or implied.
