3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Straw-color liquid with a characteristic odor.
WARNING!
MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
MAY CAUSE THYMUS DAMAGE AND LIVER AND KIDNEY EFFECTS BASED ON ANIMAL DATA
Potential Health Effects
Skin contact and inhalation are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to this material. Based on
single exposure animal tests, this material is considered to be slightly toxic if swallowed, no more than slightly toxic if
absorbed through skin and slightly irritating to eyes and skin. A number of other organotin compounds have been
shown to be upper respiratory tract irritants suggesting precautions against exposure to this material in the absence of
specific studies on this material. The primary target organ after exposure to this material is the thymus. Exposure to
higher levels may cause liver and kidney effects, and blood effects which are secondary to thymus damage.

4 FIRST AID MEASURES
IN CASE OF CONTACT, flush the area with plenty of water. Remove material from clothing. Wash clothing
before reuse.
IF INHALED, remove to fresh air.
IF SWALLOWED, induce vomiting as directed by medical personnel. Get medical attention. NEVER GIVE
ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions
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). Consult OSHA Standard 29 CFR 搂 1910.156(f) to determine required type equipment. Fire fighting
equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
Avoid breathing fumes from fire exposed material. When burned, the following hazardous products of
combustion can occur: Carbon monoxide Carbon dioxide Sulfur Tin oxides
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.
Prevent waterway contamination. Construct a dike to prevent spreading. 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, in preparation for later disposal. Avoid generation of dusts.
Remove from spill location. Flush area with water spray, collect rinsate.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Do not taste or swallow. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Avoid breathing vapor. Keep container
closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
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.

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.
Eye / Face Protection
Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact.
Skin Protection
Minimize skin contamination by following good industrial hygiene practice. Wearing protective gloves is
recommended. Wash hands and contaminated skin thoroughly after handling.
Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing vapor or mist. When airborne exposure limits are exceeded (see below), use NIOSH
approved respiratory protection equipment appropriate to the material and/or its components. Full facepiece
equipment is recommended and, if used, replaces need for face shield and chemical goggles. Consult
OSHA Standard (29 CFR 搂 1910.10 to determine required type equipment for 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
Dioctyltin bis(2-ethylhexyl mercaptoacetate)
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
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.

11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxicological Information
Single exposure (acute) studies indicate:
Oral - Slightly Toxic to Mice (LD50 2,010 mg/kg)
Dermal - No More Than Slightly Toxic to Rats (LD50 >2,000 mg/kg)
Eye Irritation - Slightly Irritating to Rabbits (2.3/110.0)
Skin Irritation - Slightly Irritating to Rabbits (2.2/8.0)
Increased mortality, decreased growth rates, diminished food intake, liver and kidney effects, and blood effects
which are secondary to thymus damage were noted in rats fed an octyltin mixture [97% this material] for 90 days
at levels of 250 ppm and above. Thymus weights were significantly decreased at the 50 ppm level and above,
and treatment related pathological changes of the thymus were also noted. Slightly decreased thymus weights
were noted at the 25 ppm level. The no observed toxic effect level of this material was determined to be 10
ppm. This material was reported to have no teratogenic effects when given to rats orally.

13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste Disposal
Recover, reclaim or recycle when practical. Dispose of in an approved landfill if allowed locally. Comply with
federal, state, and local regulations. Dispose of in a permitted waste management facility if incineration or
landfill is not practical.
