**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Flammable. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if
swallowed. May impair fertility. May cause harm to the unborn child.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause transient corneal injury.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may
cause irritation and/or dermatitis. If absorbed, causes symptoms
similar to those of ingestion. May be harmful if absorbed through
the skin. Substance is readily absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause liver and
kidney damage. Exposure may cause anemia and other blood
abnormalities. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause central
nervous system depression.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause liver and kidney
damage. May cause dyspnea (difficult or labored breathing).
Chronic:
May cause anemia and other blood cell abnormalities. Prolonged
inhalation can cause a sharp drop in blood pressure, throbbing,
headache, nausea, and weakness. 2-Ethoxyethanol may be a teratogen in
humans since it has been shown to be a teratogen in animals. It may
damage the testes and decrease fertility in males.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Use
water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Flammable liquid
and vapor. May be ignited by heat, sparks, and flame. Containers may
explode when heated. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a
source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground
and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of
water. For large fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide,
alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Remove all sources of ignition.
Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce
vapors. Water spray may reduce vapor but may not prevent ignition in
closed spaces.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring
material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain
product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep
container tightly closed. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame.
Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Flammables-area. Store protected from light
and air. Containers should be dated when opened and tested
periodically for the presence of peroxides. Should crystals form in
a peroxidizable liquid, peroxidation may have occurred and the
product should be considered extremely dangerous. In this instance,
the container should only be opened remotely by professionals. All
peroxidizable substances should be stored away from heat and light
and be protected from ignition sources.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear chemical goggles.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use
a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator when necessary.

**** SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY ****
Chemical Stability:
Under normal storage conditions, peroxidizable compounds can form
and accumulate peroxides which may explode when subjected to heat or
shock. This material is most hazardous when peroxide levels are
concentrated by distillation or evaporation.
Conditions to Avoid:
Light, ignition sources, excess heat, exposure to flame, prolonged
exposure to air.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials:
Strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, strong acids, copper,
aluminum.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
