4 FIRST AID MEASURES

IN CASE OF CONTACT, flush the area with plenty of water. Remove material from clothing. Wash clothing
before reuse.

IF SWALLOWED, induce vomiting as directed by medical personnel. Get medical attention. NEVER GIVE
ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

IF INHALED, remove to fresh air.



5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Fire and Explosive Properties
Auto-Ignition Temperature NA
Flash Point 590 F Flash Point Method
Flammable Limits- Upper NA
NA
Lower
Extinguishing Media
Use water spray. A solid stream of water can cause frothing and spattering. 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 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). Fire fighting equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
When burned, hazardous products of combustion including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide can be
formed. Acrolein can be generated at 550 F.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

In Case of Spill or Leak
Isolate hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary or unprotected personnel. Contain spilled liquid with
sand or earth. Clean up spill immediately, observing precautions in the Personal Protection section of
MSDS. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. These practices include avoiding
unnecessary exposure and removal of material from eyes, skin and clothing.
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. Provide ventilation if necessary to minimize
exposures. 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 rubber gloves is
recommended. Wash hands and contaminated skin thoroughly after handling.
Respiratory Protection
Where airborne exposure is likely, use NIOSH approved respiratory protection equipment appropriate to the
material and/or its components. If exposures cannot be kept at a minimum with engineering controls, 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 there
may be a potential for significant exposure, 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

The components of this product have no established Airborne Exposure Guidelines
-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
Data on this material and/or a similar material are summarized below.

Soybean oil, epoxidized
Single exposure (acute) studies indicate that this material is practically non-toxic if swallowed (rat LD50 22,400
mg/kg) or absorbed through skin (rat LD50 19,900 mg/kg) and slightly irritating to rabbit eyes and skin.
Exposure to concentrated vapors for 8 hrs produced no deaths in rats.

No skin allergy was observed in guinea pigs following repeated exposure. Long-term dietary administration to
rats produced increased mortality, reduced body weight gains, kidney and liver changes (enlarged, fatty
infiltration of the liver), degeneration of the testes, and slight changes in the uterus. Life-time application to the
skin of mice or life-time administration in the diet to rats did not increase the incidence of tumors. No effects
were seen on the ability of male or female rats to reproduce or on the development of the offspring when
exposed orally prior to mating. No genetic changes were observed in tests using bacteria and human or animal
cells.

12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Ecotoxicological Information
Data on this material and/or a similar material are summarized below.

Soybean oil, epoxidized
This material is practically non-toxic to brine shrimp (24-hr LC50 240 mg/l).
Chemical Fate Information
Data on this material and/or a similar material are summarized below.

Soybean oil, epoxidized
The non-acclimated and acclimated extent of bio-oxidation were 0% and 24%, respectively, after 20 days in
fresh water. The measured chemical oxygen demand (COD) was determined to be 2.24 mg/mg. This material
is not considered readily biodegradable in fresh water based on these data.
