Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis (skin condition). Overexposure to vapor, dust or mist may aggravate
existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma, bronchitis, and inflammatory or fibrotic respiratory disease.
Other Remarks:
This product contains one or more amines which may produce temporary and reversible hazy or blurred vision. Symptoms
disappear when exposure is terminated.
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:
Immediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Under a safety shower, flush skin thoroughly with large amounts of running
water for at least 15 minutes. Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Get medical attention immediately. Discard or
decontaminate clothing and shoes before reuse.
Ingestion:
If person is conscious and can swallow, immediately give two glasses of water (16 oz.) but do not induce vomiting. This material is
corrosive. If vomiting occurs, give fluids again. Have a physician determine if condition of patient will permit induction of vomiting or
evacuation of stomach. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing or in respiratory distress, clear person's airway and start artificial respiration. With a
physician's advice, give supplemental oxygen using a bag-valve mask or manually triggered oxygen supply.
Other Instructions:
Swallowing of this corrosive material may result in severe ulceration, inflammation, and possible perforation of the upper
alimentary tract, with hemorrhage and fluid loss. Aspiration of this product during induced emesis can 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 Control Center for additional treatment information.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Ignition Temperature - AIT (degrees C):
310 ( 590 F )
Flash Point (degrees C):
35 ( 95 F ) (TCC)
Flammable Limits % (Lower-Upper):
Lower: 1.8
Upper: 10.8
Recommended Fire Extinguishing Agents And Special Procedures:
Water may be ineffective on flames but should be used to cool fire-exposed containers and provide protection for persons attempting
to stop the leak. Use water spray, dry chemical, alcohol resistant foam or carbon dioxide to extinguish flames.
Unusual or Explosive Hazards:
Danger! Flammable materials may release vapors that travel long distances, ignite and flash back. Containers may explode
in a fire. Do not exposeto heat, sparks, flame, or other sources of ignition. When handling, use non-sparking tools, ground
and bond all containers.
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters:
Wear special chemical protective clothing and positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. Approach fire from upwind to
avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition products. Decontaminate or discard any clothing that may contain chemical residues.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (Transportation Spills: CHEMTREC (800)424-9300)
Procedures in Case of Accidental Release, Breakage or Leakage:
Eliminate all ignition sources including internal combustion engines and power tools. Ventilate area. Barricade the immediate hazard
area. Stay upwind and warn of possible downwind explosion hazard. Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
Pressure demand air supplied respirators should always be worn when the airborne concentration of the contaminant or oxygen is
unknown. Otherwise, wear respiratory protection and other personal protective equipment as appropriate for the potential exposure
hazard. Contain spill if possible. Remove with inert absorbent. Prevent entry into sewers and waterways.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be Taken in
Handling:
Use spark-proof tools. Material may be at elevated temperatures and/or pressures. Exercise care when opening bleeders and
sampling ports. Eye wash and safety shower should be available nearby when this product is handled or used.
Storage:
Ground and bond shipping container, transfer line, and receiving container. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame, and other sources of
ignition.
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:
Protective clothing such as coveralls or lab coats must be worn. Launder or dry-clean when soiled. Gloves resistant to chemicals and
petroleum distillates required. When handling large quantities, impervious suits, gloves, and rubber boots must be worn.
Remove and dry-clean or launder clothing soaked or soiled with this material before reuse. Dry cleaning of contaminated clothing may
be more effective than normal laundering. Inform individuals responsible for cleaning of potential hazards associated with handling
contaminated clothing.
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:
Adequate to meet occupational exposure limits (see below).

12. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Waste Disposal Methods:
This product (as presently constituted) has the RCRA characteristics of ignitability, and, if discarded in its present form, would have
the hazardous waste number of D001. Under RCRA, it is the responsibility of the user of the product to determine, at the time of
disposal, whether the product meets RCRA criteria for hazardous waste. This is because product uses, transformations, mixtures,
processes, etc. may change the classification to non-hazardous, or hazardous for reasons other than, or in addition to ignitability.

16. OTHER INFORMATION 03/30/2000
Please note: The Department of Transportation (DOT) classification for morpholine, UN 2054, as a Packing Group III flammable
liquid, does not address the potential dermal corrosivity hazards of morpholine. Huntsman has recently sponsored DOT dermal
corrosivity studies using morpholine which indicate that morpholine should be reclassified as a Packing Group I dermal corrosive.
On the basis of these studies, Huntsman has petitioned the DOT for a change in the Hazardous Materials Table entry for
morpholine, from Packing Group III flammable liquid to Packing Group I corrosive liquid with a subsidiary hazard of flammability.
Until the DOT rules on our petition for this change, we will continue to identify morpholine as a Packing Group III flammable liquid on
our MSDS, product labels, and shipping papers, to minimize any confusion which could result from a discrepancy between our DOT
Packing Group determination and the existing DOT classification for morpholine. However, to ensure employee, customer and
public safety, Huntsman will handle and transport morpholine as a Packing Group I corrosive, using appropriate shipping
containers and handling procedures.
"SKIN" notation in Section 2 indicates possible adverse health effects as a result of absorption through the skin, mucous
membranes and eyes, by contact with vapor, mist, spray or liquid. Appropriate measures should be taken to minimize contact.
Do not add nitrites. This product contains amines which can combine with nitrites or other nitrosating agents to form nitrosamines.
Many nitrosamines have been found to cause cancer in laboratory animals.
Huntsman recommends that all exposures to this product be minimized by strictly adhering to recommended occupational controls
procedures to avoid any potential adverse health effects.
