Emergency Overview
Hazard Statements
ANSI signal word for this material is: DANGER
Per SARA 312 regulations this material represents the following health hazard(s): acute chronic
Per SARA 312 regulations this material is classified as a pure material.
General Fire Hazards
Vapors may form explosive mixture with air. Vapors may be heavier than air and may travel along the ground to some distant source of
ignition and flash back.
Appearance
Clear, colorless to yellow liquid or solid [<63掳F].
Overview
Each person who could potentially be exposed to this material, via any route of entry, while performing their assignments, routine and
non-routine; from piping; and/or during an emergency situation, should review this MSDS in order to better understand the hazards
associated with the material. Accordingly, please note an * in a HMIS庐 field indicates this material may potentially involve certain chronic
health issues such as cancer -- HMIS庐 is a registered trade and service mark of the NPCA. To work safely with this material: keep away
from heat and ignition sources do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing do not breath in material's vapors, dust, or fumes keep
container closed use with adequate ventilation -- do not enter any confined spaces without first verifying air quality wash thoroughly
after handling

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin
Immediately take off all contaminated clothing. For skin contact, flush with large amounts of water. If any adverse effects persist, get medical
attention. The signs and symptoms that may result from an emergency or an unexpected acute overexposure include: rash to irritation to burns
Eyes
For eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Seek medical advice. The signs and symptoms that may result from an
emergency or an unexpected acute overexposure include: irritation to burns
Inhalation
Move person to non-contaminated air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Seek medical attention. The signs and symptoms that may result from an emergency or an unexpected acute overexposure
include: irritation -- respiratory tract
Ingestion
If the material is swallowed, get immediate medical attention or advice. Never give anything by mouth to a victim who is unconscious or is
having convulsions. If patient has a good gag reflex, you can consider giving several ounces of water for dilution. The signs and
symptoms that may result from an emergency or an unexpected acute overexposure include: nausea; vomiting; gastritis
Cardiovascular
The signs and symptoms that may result from an emergency or an unexpected acute overexposure include: arrhythmia
Central Nervous System
Monitor for shock; anticipate seizures and treat accordingly.

2,4-DI-TERT-AMYLPHENOL
Sensitivity to Static Discharge
Material can accumulate static charges from material handling management. Bond and ground as appropriate. For additional recommendations,
consult an applicable guideline such as National Fire Protection Association [NFPA] 77, "Recommended Practices on Static Electricity". NOTE:
The Lower Explosive Limit [LEL] for organic liquids can range from as low as 0.5 - 1%.
Extinguishing Media
Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water fog.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Protection of Firefighters/Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Exclude air; treat like a gasoline or oil fire. Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure demand
breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE, SPILL, LEAK PROCEDURES
Personal Precautions
Follow facility/company's emergency plans.
Environmental Precautions
Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Eliminate sources of ignition. Ventilate the contaminated area. Contain the spill and
prevent the material from obtaining access to any confined spaces, public sewers, or waterways.

Methods for Clean-Up
Ventilate the contaminated area. Eliminate ignition sources including sources of electrical, static or frictional sparks. Contain, absorb or,
for solids, vacuum or sweep up, material and place in container(s) applicable for ultimate transportation or disposal. Thoroughly clean the
release area with a suitable agent and collect any cleaning, rinsing media(s) for proper reclamation or disposal. Wear appropriate
personal protective equipment during cleanup activities. Sweep up, or gather, material and place in appropriate container(s) applicable
for ultimate transportation or disposal. Thoroughly clean the release area with a suitable agent and collect any cleaning, rinsing media(s)
for proper reclamation or disposal. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment during cleanup activities.
Other Information
Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Determine appropriate course of action for the collected material.
Regulations vary. Consult local authorities before disposal.
Exposure Guidelines
All PPE use is to be determined by a qualified person.
7. HANDLING & STORAGE
Handling Procedures
Guard against dust accumulation of this material. As with all chemicals, good industrial hygiene practices should be followed when handling this
material. When the container(s) is empty it may retain product residue including vapors which could accumulate. Therefore, do not cut, drill, grind,
or weld empty containers. Additionally, do not conduct such activity(ies) near full, partially full, or empty product containers without appropriate
workplace safety authorization(s) or permit(s).
Storage Procedures
Protect container from physical abuse. Keep the container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated storage area. Keep
separate from incompatibles. Bond and ground containers when transferring material. Empty product containers may contain product
residue. Do not reuse empty containers.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Guidelines
All PPE use is to be determined by a qualified person.
Engineering Controls
Ventilation should be sufficient to effectively remove, and prevent buildup of, any vapors, dusts, or fumes that may be generated during
handling or thermal processing. In order to ensure appropriate electrical safety practices are followed, consult applicable standards.
These may include guidelines such as the National Fire Protection Association [NFPA] 70, "The National Electrical Code" and NFPA 499,
"Recommended Practice for the Classification of Combustible Dusts and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in
Chemical Process Areas ". NOTE: since this material's vapors, dust or fumes can form explosive mixtures in air, ensure that any
potential areas where explosions may occur are designed to minimize potential damage. For recommendations to prevent such
explosions and associated damage, consult applicable guidelines such as NFPA 69, "Standard on Explosion Prevention Systems" and/or
NFPA 68, "Guide for Venting Deflagrations".
Personal Protective Equipment
Eye Protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields; chemical goggles (if splashing is possible). Wear a face shield if a splash hazard exists. Select & use eye
protection per a competent health & safety professional using: OSHA [29 CFR 1910.133] or Europe's [EN166].
Skin Protection
Use appropriate hand protection. Wear impervious gloves for prolonged contact.
Respiratory Protection
Maintain material's vapors, fumes, or particulate levels below any levels of concern including, for solids, considering the material as a
particulate not otherwise classified [nuisance dust] @ 10 mg/m3. Select & use respirators per a competent health & safety professional
using: OSHA (29 CFR 1910.134); ANSI (Z88.2-1992); or Europe's [EN 149].
