Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause:, Nausea, Headache, Vomiting, To the best of our knowledge, the chemical,
physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated.

So why does everyone assume there are no toxic issues? Because I can tell you that when you make it into a one micron mist, call it "haze" and suspend those particles in quantity on a stage, there are people who have issues.
When are we going to finally consider the Precautionary Principle that says in the absence of data you cannot assume a chemical is safe? And safe in ALL ways by ALL routes of entry? That's just dumb.
To use a PROVEN example: Mineral oil is another "safe" chemical. But mineral oil fog and haze has also been documented to cause EXACTLY what you would expect in those over exposed: lipoid pneumonia.
And while you my retire from ranting, I live to rant. Monona

Monona, you are correct in assuming that we do not sell into the theater, but we certainly have our own industry geniuses to consider. We primarily sell
automotive aftermarket chemicals, so my "secret ingredients" are typically going into fuel additives, engine oil top treats, and a few aerosol lubricants.
As I mentioned to another list member offline just a bit ago, these formulas are the result of thorough research, hard-to-come-by lab time, 20-something
years of experience/expertise, etc. These formulas are my babies; that's why I'm so protective of them. I understand RTK/RTU. I really do. It's just frustrating to be held hostage for 100% disclosure when some ingredients (glycerine, oleic acid, PIB) are
not GHS-classifiable and in moderation truly don't contribute to any hazards.
I said I'd quit ranting after the last e-mail. I mean it this time.

But don't forget to register it in New Jersey. We watch for unregistered trade secret ingredients and make a fuss when needed.
And while I'm sure the products you are talking about are not used in art or theater work, I can tell you as a union rep, any "trade secret" or "proprietary"
ingredient means we are probably no going to approve of it for use. Products used in art and theater rarely are used "as directed," so
we dang need to know what's in it before the geniuses start to play with it.
