Slightly toxic. Ingestion of moderate quantities may cause abdominal  discomfort, nausea and drowsiness.

12. Ecological Information

BODYFILLER ALU LIGHT is almost insoluble in water and will float on the surface. It could cause a fire or explosion if a large spill drained into a sewer system and would be highly toxic to fish if discharged to natural waters. Avoid discharged to sewers or waterways! At very low concentration in water is biodegradable in biological wastewater treatment plant.

Do not allow to escape into water, wastewater or soil.
