11. Toxicological Information
- Acute effects
- Not available.
- Eye contact
- Strong caustic effect.
- Strong irritant with the danger of severe eye injury.
- Skin contact
- Strong caustic effect on skin and mucous membranes.
- Ingestion
- Swallowing will lead to a strong caustic effect on mouth and throat and to the danger of perforation of oesophagus and stomach.

- Not available.
12. Ecological Information
- Ecotoxicity
- No further relevant information available.
- Persistence and degradability
- No further relevant information available.
- Bioaccumulative potential
- No further relevant information available.
- Other adverse effects
- Water hazard class 2: hazardous for water.
- Do not allow product to reach ground water, water course or sewage system.
- Must not reach sewage water or drainage ditch undiluted or unneutralised.
- Danger to drinking water if even small quantities leak into the ground.
- Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to decreased pH-values. A low pH-value harms aquatic organisms. In the dilution of the use-level the pH-value is considerably increased, so that after the use of the product the aqueous waste, emptied into drains, is only low water-dangerous.
