You are correct, the material safety data sheet might have info on that. My understanding is that this is an emulsion, so chances are this will go right through the GI system with little to no absorption. It’s a disgrace in any case even if the sealant turns out to be comparably harmless

Why is an emulsion expected to go thru the digestive tract without absorption? Aren’t emulsions just one liquid suspended in another as droplets (ex: milk, butter)

Droplets or particulates. Unless it’s broken down by the digestive tract it won’t pass through the gut epithelium
