       Off-white powder, no known hazards.

       This material is not hazardous by OSHA Hazard Communication 
       Definition


Oral Toxicity:
Rat   LD50  > 100,000 mg/kg

Dermal Toxicity:
Not absorbed topically

Inhalation toxicity:
Human, guinea pig and rabbit; exposure to aerosols and dusts of small
particle size produced no evidence of harmful effects.

Skin irritation:
Human repeat insult patch test; not a primary irritant.

Eye irritation:
Rabbit; no irritation observed.

Sensitizer:

No.  Human repeat insult patch test; not a sensitizer.

US DOT Corrosive:
No data found.

Primary routes of entry:
Contact

Signs and Symptoms of Exposure

Symptoms of ingestion:
No effects of exposure expected.

Symptoms of inhalation:
No effects of exposure expected

Symptoms of skin contact:

No effects of exposure expected due to absorption or contact.  May possibly
cause irritation or dermatitis in some individuals upon prolonged contact.

Symptoms of eye contact:
No effects of exposure expected with the exception of possible irritation.

Medical conditions aggravated by exposure:
No data found

Other Toxicity:

Other accute toxicity:
No data found

Sub chronic oral toxicity:
Rodent and dog studies:  No adverse effect level exceeds 10% of total diet;
no evidence of carcinogenic activity.

Sub chronic inhalation toxicity:

No data found.

Sub chronic miscellaneous toxicity:
No data found

Aquatic toxicity:
No data found

Tumorigenicity:
Chronic rodent and dog feeding studies show that the no adverse effect level
exceeds 10% of the diet with no evidence of carcinogenic activity.

Mutagenicity:
PVP was tested in the Ames Assay; dominant lethal test on mice:  L5178Y Mouse
(TK +/-) Lymphoma assay; bone marrow chromosomal abberation assay; and the 
BALB/C3T3 transformation.  In each case PVP was found not to be metagenic.

Reproductive toxicity:
Teratology studies with PVP concentrations up to 10% of the diet show no 
embryotoxicity, petotoxicity or teratogenicity.

Miscellaneous toxicity:

No data found.
