I'm no expert at all (not even an amateur) but:

Kaolin - Clay and inert.

Toluene - Solvent with high vapor pressure, should gas off quickly (especially in hot weather) unless it's bound to something that releases it slowly.

Naptha - I think similar properties to toluene..

I would be curious what this product uses for a binder. And I don't see any rubber materials mentioned.

I would leave the vehicle open and give it a week or two and see if there is a lingering smell.
