Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
There is limited information available on the hazards of this chemical. The health effects listed for this
substance are based on information found for compounds of similar structure.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing and shortness of
breath.
Ingestion:
Causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Skin Contact:
May cause irritation with redness and pain.
Eye Contact:
May cause irritation, redness and pain. In general, for nonionic surfactant compounds, mild eye
irritation is common; some compounds (comparatively more alkaline) will produce more severe
irritation and possibly result in eye injury.
Chronic Exposure:
No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
No information found.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention
if irritation develops.

Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids
occasionally. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
Flash point: 197C (387F) CC
As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by contact with an ignition
source.
Explosion:
Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a
potential dust explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing
apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Move exposed containers from fire area, if it can be done without risk. Use water to keep
fire-exposed containers cool.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected
personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use non-sparking tools and
equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an inert material (e. g.,
vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible
materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer!
7. Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical
damage. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product
residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
3 of 7 3/19/2002 1:06 PM
TERGITOL(R) NP-10 (Nonionic) http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/T0325.htm
None established.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as
possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the
contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the
ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent
edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to the substance is apparent, consult an industrial hygienist.
For emergencies, or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect
workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash
fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
