3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
White powder with a characteristic odor.
DANGER!
CAUSES EYE BURNS. MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS.
MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.
MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION.
MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
MAY FORM EXPLOSIVE DUST-AIR MIXTURES.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to this material. Based on
its composition, it is anticipated to be moderately to slightly toxic if swallowed, no more than slightly toxic if absorbed
through skin, moderately irritating to eyes and slightly irritating to skin. A number of other organotin compounds have
been shown to be upper respiratory tract irritants, suggesting precautions against exposure.

4 FIRST AID MEASURES
IF IN EYES, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
IF ON SKIN, flush the area with plenty of water. Remove material from clothing. Wash clothing before reuse.
IF INHALED, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, get medical attention.
IF SWALLOWED, do NOT induce vomiting. Give water to drink. Get medical attention immediately. NEVER
GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Do NOT use a solid stream of water. A solid stream of water can cause a dust explosion. Fire fighters and
others who may be exposed to products of combustion should wear full fire fighting turn out gear (full Bunker
Gear) and self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure demand NIOSH approved or equivalent). Fire fighting
equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
When burned, the following hazardous products of combustion can occur: Carbon monoxide Carbon dioxide Tin
oxides Avoid breathing fumes from fire exposed material. Dust can ignite or explode under extreme conditions.
NOTE: For any operation involving this material, use only CLASS II electrical equipment. Ensure that all
equipment is adequately grounded. As with any dry material, pouring this material or allowing it to free-fall or to
be conveyed through chutes or pipes can accumulate and generate electrostatic sparks, potentially causing
ignition of the material itself, or of any flammable materials which may come into contact with the material or its
container.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In Case of Spill or Leak
Stop the leak, if possible. Ventilate the space involved. Contain, sweep up, place in container for disposal.
Shut off or remove all ignition sources. Prevent waterway contamination. Construct a dike to prevent
spreading. If waterway contamination occurs, contact appropriate authorities. Collect run-off water and
transfer to drums or tanks for later disposal. Consult a regulatory specialist to determine appropriate state or
local reporting requirements, for assistance in waste characterization and/or hazardous waste disposal and
other requirements listed in pertinent environmental permits.
Clean up procedures: Transfer to containers, preparatory for later disposal. Avoid generation of vapors.
Place in non-sparking containers for recovery or disposal. Remove from spill location. Decontaminate area.

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Avoid breathing dust. Keep container
closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep away from heat, sparks
and flame. CONTAINER HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY. Emptied container retains vapor and product
residue. Follow labeled warnings even after container is emptied. RESIDUAL VAPORS MAY EXPLODE ON
IGNITION. DO NOT CUT, DRILL GRIND OR WELD ON OR NEAR THIS CONTAINER. Improper disposal
or reuse of this container may be dangerous and/or illegal.
Storage
This material is not hazardous under normal storage conditions; however, material should be stored in
closed containers, in a secure area to prevent container damage and subsequent spillage. It is
recommended that containers be raised above floor or ground during extended storage periods to prevent
container corrosion due to standing water.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls
Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures below airborne exposure limits. Provide ventilation
if necessary to control exposure levels below airborne exposure limits (see below). If practical, use local
mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as open process equipment. Consult
ACGIH ventilation manual or NFPA Standard 91 for design of exhaust systems.
Eye / Face Protection
Where there is potential for eye contact, wear chemical goggles and have eye flushing equipment
immediately available.
Skin Protection
Minimize skin contamination by following good industrial hygiene practice. Wearing rubber gloves is
recommended. Wash hands and contaminated skin thoroughly after handling.
Respiratory Protection
When airborne exposure limits are exceeded (see below), use NIOSH approved respiratory protection
equipment appropriate to the material and/or its components . Consult respirator manufacturer to determine
appropriate type equipment for a given application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH or
the manufacturer. For emergency and other conditions where exposure limit may be significantly exceeded,
use an approved full face positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus or positive-pressure airline
with auxiliary self-contained air supply. Respiratory protection programs must comply with 29 CFR 搂
1910.134.
Airborne Exposure Guidelines for Ingredients
Exposure Limit Value
Butyltin compounds
ACGIH Skin designator - Y
ACGIH STEL -Organic tin compounds, as Sn 0.2 mg/m3
ACGIH TWA -Organic tin compounds, as Sn 0.1 mg/m3
ARKEMA 12-hour TWA -Mono- and dibutyl tin compounds, 0.07 mg/m3

OSHA TWA PEL -Organic tin compounds, as Sn 0.1 mg/m3
-Only those components with exposure limits are printed in this section.
-Skin contact limits designated with a "Y" above have skin contact effect. Air sampling alone is insufficient to accurately quantitate
exposure. Measures to prevent significant cutaneous absorption may be required.
-ACGIH Sensitizer designator with a value of "Y" above means that exposure to this material may cause allergic reactions.
-WEEL-AIHA Sensitizer designator with a value of "Y" above means that exposure to this material may cause allergic skin reactions.

10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability
This material is chemically stable under normal and anticipated storage and handling conditions.
Hazardous Polymerization
Does not occur.
Incompatibility
Contact with bases and reducing agents may result in a low energy release. Exposure to direct sunlight causes
degradation to an inorganic tin salt.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
If in fire, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, organic acid vapors and tin oxide fumes
11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxicological Information
Data on this material and/or its components are summarized below.
Butyltin Compounds
Single exposure (acute) studies indicate that these butyltin compounds are moderately toxic to practically non-
toxic if swallowed (rat LD50 260 to >20,000 mg/kg), no more than slightly toxic if absorbed through skin (rabbit
LD50 >2,000 mg/kg), slightly irritating to rabbit skin (4-hr exposure, 2.3/8.0) and moderately irritating to rabbit
eyes (18/110). Following repeated oral administration, liver and kidney effects were noted in rats. Birth defects
in the absence of maternal toxicity were noted in the offspring of rats orally exposed during pregnancy. Both
positive and negative responses were observed in tests using bacteria.
