Toxicology Overview Geon vinyl resins have been evaluated by studies involving the intracutaneous (skin) and intramuscular injection in rabbits, through studies involving dietary administration (i.e., injestion) to rats for nearly the lifetime of the animals, and by numerous human patch tests using panels of 50 or more people. No significant reactions, skin irritation, sensitization, or other deleterious effects have been observed in these studies. These studies have shown that PVC resin is relatively inert.
