3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
*** EMERGENCY OVERVIEW ***: Green Viscous Liquid, with No odor. May cause skin and eye irritation.
May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause respiratory tract irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - EYE CONTACT: May cause eye irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN CONTACT: May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization.
May cause dermatitis.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INHALATION: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Significant
overexposure to n-butyl glycidyl ether by the inhalation route is unlikely under most ambient conditions due to its low
volatility. However, vapors, aerosols, and mists may be formed during some applications such as heating or applications
of uncured material on large surface areas.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion is not an expected route of
entry in industrial or commercial uses.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC HAZARDS: Chronic skin contact may cause dermatitis.
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: Skin Contact, Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye Contact
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID - EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes immediately with large amount of water for at least 15 minutes holding
eyelids open while flushing. Get prompt medical attention.
FIRST AID - SKIN CONTACT: Flush contaminated skin with large amounts of water while removing contaminated
clothing. Wash affected skin areas with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

FIRST AID - INHALATION: Move person to fresh air. Restore and support continued breathing. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get immediate medical attention.
FIRST AID - INGESTION: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Give victim one or two glasses of water or milk.
Call a physician or poison control center immediately for further instructions. Never give anything by mouth if victim is
rapidly losing consciousness, unconscious or convulsing.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: 201 掳F, 93 掳C LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (%): Not Applicable
Setaflash Closed Cup UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (%): Not Applicable
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: N.D.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Keep containers tightly closed. Closed containers may rupture
when exposed to extreme heat. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool. During a fire, irritating and/or
toxic gases and particulate may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear full firefighting protective clothing, including self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA). If water is used, fog nozzles are preferable.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Avoid breathing vapors. Notify
appropriate authorities if necessary. Avoid contact. Use appropriate respiratory protection for large spills or spills in
confined area. Keep non-essential personnel away from spill area. Scoop spilled material into an appropriate container
for proper disposal. (If necessary, use inert absorbent material to aid in containing the spill).
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Keep closure tight and container upright to prevent leakage. Avoid skin and eye contact. Wash
thoroughly after handling. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Empty containers
should not be re-used. Use with adequate ventilation.
STORAGE: Store only in well-ventilated areas. Keep container closed when not in use.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Sufficient ventilation in pattern and volume should be provided in order to maintain
air contaminant levels below recommended exposure limits.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use a NIOSH approved air-purifying organic vapor respirator if occupational
limits are exceeded. For emergency situations, confined space use, or other conditions where exposure limits may be
greatly exceeded, use an approved air-supplied respirator. Observe OSHA regulations (29CFR 1910.134) for respirator
use.
SKIN PROTECTION: Use neoprene, nitrile, or rubber gloves to prevent skin contact.
EYE PROTECTION: Use safety eyewear including safety glasses with side shields and chemical goggles where
splashing may occur.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Use disposable or impervious clothing if work clothing contamination is
likely. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash hands before eating, smoking, or using toilet facility. Food or beverages should not
be consumed anywhere this product is handled or stored. Wash thoroughly after handling.
