This material has been tested as a whole. The data below is based on the properties of the mixture.
Main Routes of Exposure:
Inhalation Ingestion
Skin Absorption Skin or Eye Contact
Effects of Acute (Immediate) Exposure:
Eye Contact ............................................ May cause severe eye irritation.
Ingestion.................................................. Based on animal toxicity data, this product is expected to be
slightly toxic if swallowed.
Inhalation................................................ Causes upper respiratory tract irritation. These vapors can
also cause central nervous system depression with symptoms
of headache, nausea, dullness and dizziness.
Skin Absorption....................................... May be absorbed through the skin.
Skin Contact............................................ May cause skin irritation.
Effects of Chronic(Long Term) Exposure:
Inhalation鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??.. Chronic exposure to organic solvents has been associated with
various nervous system damage including permanent memory
loss, loss of intellectual ability and loss of coordination.
Skin Contact............................................ Irritant
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure :
Persons with breathing and lung problems can be affected by breathing in any type of chemical vapor or
mist. Persons with asthma, allergies, or other breathing-related problems should stay away from, not
handle, and not be exposed to any product vapors or mists as a precautionary measure.
Target Organs Affected:
Blood, lungs, liver, kidneys
The components of this material are considered Carcinogenic by:
Not Applicable
National Toxicology Program (NTP)

Eye Contact............................................. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open to rinse
completely. Get medical aid.
Ingestion.................................................. If swallowed, give 3-4 glasses of water but do not induce
vomiting. If vomiting occurs, give water again. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Potential for
aspiration if swallowed. Get medical aid immediately. Have
physician determine whether vomiting or stomach evacuation
is necessary.
Inhalation................................................ If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
3
medical aid.
Skin Contact............................................ In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of soap and water.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation, redness, swelling or skin pain develops and persists.
Wash clothing before re-use.
None.

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point Deg. C F >141 degrees
Auto 鈥? Ignition Temperature................... Not determined
Upper Flammable Limit (% Vol)............. Not determined
Lower Flammable Limit (% Vol)............. Not determined
Extinguishing Media............................... Use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam. Cool
containers with water until well after the fire is out.
Hazardous Combustion Products.............. No decomposition expected under normal conditions.
General Information:
Firefighters should wear full protective equipment and positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
in pressure-demand mode. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. 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 areas. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed container surfaces.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Spill / Leak.............................................. Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in
Section 8. Stop flow of material. Absorb with inert material
(e.g. dry sand, earth or other suitable absorbent), then place
into a suitable container. Clean up spills immediately.
Provide ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a
spark-proof tool. Prevent from entering floor drains or sewers.
Do not release any chemicals, dyes, or dye solutions of any
type to sewers or any waterways without proper authorization
from government agencies. Make appropriate notifications as
required.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Handling Procedures................................ Maintain good personal hygiene. Wash hands and face
thoroughly after handling, and before eating, drinking or
using tobacco products. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before re-use. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and
clothing. Keep containers tightly closed. Do not 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.
Observe local regulations. Store in a cool (<100oF), dry,
Storage Needs..........................................
well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials
(Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, strong bases). Keep
containers closed when not in use. Keep away from heat,
sparks or open flames. 2-Propoxy ethanol can form unstable
peroxides upon prolonged exposure to air. Keep from
freezing. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials.
Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Eye / Type................................................ Wear splash-proof chemical safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shields. Contact lenses should not be worn when
working with chemicals.
Respiratory /Type..................................... A half-face or full-face NIOSH-approved respirator with
4
organic vapor cartridge is recommended where exposures
exceed TLV.
Gloves / Type........................................... Wear chemical resistant gloves such as butyl rubber or
neoprene.
Clothing / Type........................................ Wear long sleeved garment such as a lab coat to prevent skin
exposure.
Other / Type............................................ Facilities using or storing this product should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and safety shower within 100 feet
from work area.
Ventilation Requirements........................ Local exhaust ventilation is required to keep exposures below
TLV.
