POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Primary Route of Exposure
Eye X Skin X Inhalation X Ingestion
Effects of Overexposure
Acute:
Causes irritation, experienced as pain, with excess blinking and tear production, and seen as
Eyes:
marked excess redness and swelling of the eye with injury to the cornea.
Brief contact may cause slight irritation. Prolonged contact, as with clothing wetted with
Skin:
material, may cause more severe irritation and discomfort, seen as local redness and
swelling. Other than the potential skin irritation effects noted above, acute (short term)
adverse effects are not expected from brief skin contact; see other effects, below, and
Section 11 for information regarding potential long term effects.
Vapors or mist, especially as generated from heating the material or as from exposure in
Inhalation:
poorly ventilated areas or confined spaces, may be irritating and cause discomfort in nose
and throat, nasal discharge, and coughing. Prolonged overexposure may cause difficulty
breathing.
If more than several mouthfuls are swallowed, abdominal discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea
Ingestion:
may occur. Aspiration may occur during swallowing or vomiting resulting in lung damage.
Unknown
Sensitization Properties:
Chronic:
No adverse effects have been documented in humans as a result of chronic exposure. Section 11 may contain applicable
animal data.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of running water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart while flushing to rinse entire
surface of eye and lids with water. Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Obtain medical attention immediately. Continue
flushing for an additional 15 minutes if medical attention is not immediately available.
Skin:
Wash skin with plenty of soap and water for several minutes. Get medical attention if skin irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion:
If person is conscious and can swallow, give two glasses of water (16 oz.) but do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, give fluids
again. Have medical personnel determine if evacuation of stomach or induction of vomiting is necessary. Do not give anything by
mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, clear person's airway and give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, qualified
medical personnel may administer oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Other Instructions:
Aspiration of this product during induced emesis may result in severe lung injury. If evacuation of stomach is necessary, use
method least likely to cause aspiration, such as gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. Contact a Poison Center for
additional treatment information.

Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters:
Wear full protective clothing and positive pressure breathing apparatus. Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and
toxic decomposition products.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (Transportation Spills: CHEMTREC (800)424-9300)
Procedures in Case of Accidental Release, Breakage or Leakage:
Ventilate area. Avoid breathing vapor. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including appropriate respiratory protection.
Contain spill if possible. Wipe up or absorb on suitable material and shovel up. Prevent entry into sewers and waterways. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be Taken in
Handling:
Minimum feasible handling temperatures should be maintained. Eye wash should be available nearby when this product is handled or
used.
Storage:
Periods of exposure to high temperatures should be minimized. Water contamination should be avoided.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Protective Equipment (Type)
Eye/Face Protection:
Avoid eye contact. Chemical type goggles with face shield must be worn. Do not wear contact lenses.
Skin Protection:
Workers should wash exposed skin several times daily with soap and water. Soiled work clothing should be laundered or dry-cleaned.
Respiratory Protection:
Airborne concentrations should be kept to lowest levels possible. If vapor, mist or dust is generated and the occupational
exposure limit of the product, or any component of the product, is exceeded, use appropriate NIOSH or MSHA approved air
purifying or air supplied respirator after determining the airborne concentration of the contaminant. Air supplied respirators
should always be worn when airborne concentration of the contaminant or oxygen content is unknown.
Ventilation:
Local exhaust ventilation recommended if generating vapor, dust, or mist. If exhaust ventilation is not available or inadequate, use
MSHA or NIOSH approved respirator as appropriate.
Exposure Limit for the Total Product:
None established for product.

16. OTHER INFORMATION 05/23/2000
Ethoxylated products may contain residual amounts of ethylene oxide (EO) which can accumulate in the container headspace and
be released into the ambient environment. This process is enhanced when the product is agitated, as during tank car loading and
unloading, and blending operations. Ethylene oxide causes tumors in laboratory animals. The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) for EO is 1 ppm for an eight-hour time weighted average exposure. The
standard regulates occupational exposure to EO from all sources, including products containing residual EO. It is the responsibility
of the employer to comply with OSHA ethylene oxide standard (29 CFR 1910.1047).
