List, Just curious about using triethanolamine in this ointment....checking the MSDS database at Cornell shows over 800 products containing this....I guess you would have to know which one you were using to get the facts (maybe not even then). Note the entry from the MSDS for Murphys Oil Soap:
Proprietary: NO Ingredient: TRIETHANOLAMINE (SUSPECTED HUMAN CARCINOGEN BY ACGIH) INTENDED CHANGE (IC)Ingredient Sequence Number: 04 Percent: 5% NIOSH (RTECS) Number: KL9275000 CAS Number: 102-71-6 ACGIH TLV: 3.1 MG/CUM IC Other Recommended Limit: A2 CARCINOGEN ------------------------------------- Interesting....I wonder if this is only this particular triethanolamine or if the carcinogenity pertains to any form of the chemical? Many of the other MSDS don't mention any carcinogenity. Anybody know?
