What is Ethyl Chloride’s toxicity?
When used as directed, in a well ventilated setting, Ethyl Chloride is well below an exposure level that would cause concern of toxicity. There is published toxicity data on Ethyl Chloride but this data is associated with highly concentrated exposure to Ethyl Chloride for long periods of time. This is not appropriate for the intended use of the Gebauer’s Ethyl Chloride products. The correct use of the product results in much less than these published toxicity levels for exposure and inhalation. Exposure is further limited by the nature of the use of Gebauer’s product as a vapocoolant. Since the product is applied in short topical sprays in a well-ventilated environment, it quickly evaporates with little to no absorption into the skin.
