INGREDIENT DATA
PROPYLENE GLYCOL MONOBUTYL ETHER:
Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on
the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for these
irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborne
concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should be
protected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are established
using uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no
-observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human results
are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in
determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling
values (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLV
STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints
combine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five
-category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life.
However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU)
Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely
allied to that of the USA.
OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:
路 cause inflammation
路 cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents
路 lead to permanent injury or dysfunction
路 permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and
路 acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus
increasing the risk of overexposure.
DIPROPYLENE GLYCOL MONOMETHYL ETHER:
The TLV-TWA and STEL recommendations were thought to be sufficiently low
to prevent objectionable irritation and provide a considerable safety
factor against CNS impairment. In view of the large dose required to cause
weight loss and narcosis in rabbits the skin notation is being reviewed.
Probable minimum concentration that may cause minor nasal irritation
is about 35 ppm.
Probable minimum concentration that may cause tolerable eye, throat, and
respiratory irritation is about 75 ppm.
Lowest concentration at which vapour is rated tolerable 80 ppm.
Based on these criteria it is possible that an occasional person may find
the vapour of dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether intolerable at the
recommended 100 ppm TLV.
Dermal absorption of the substance under specific experimental conditions
led to narcotic effects and consequent deaths. However, only slight
narcotic effects were seen after several hours exposure of rats to
aerosols which wet the fur of animals. Rabbits tolerated dermal application
of 3.0 ml/kg per day without effects. A skin designation is thought to be
unnecessary by the MAK committee, in contrast with others.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Reports of skin and eye irritation and chronic headaches have been
reported in workers exposed to 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The Australian ES
is based on a 10-fold uncertainty factor of the no-observable-adverse-
effect level (NOAEL) of 24 ppm where adverse respiratory effects were
observed in a 4-week inhalation study in rats.
TRIETHANOLAMINE:
Exposure at or below the TLV-TWA is thought to minimise the potential for
skin and eye irritation, and acute effects (including liver, kidney and
nerve damage) and chronic effects (including cancer and allergic contact
dermatitis).
ISOTRIDECYL ALCOHOL, ETHOXYLATED:
No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
路 Safety glasses with side shields
路 Chemical goggles.
路 Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
OTHER
路 Overalls.
路 P.V.C. apron.
路 Barrier cream.
路 Skin cleansing cream.

RESPIRATOR
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathing
zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (defined
as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the mask) may also be important.

tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however,
ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
EYE
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives),
direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterised by tearing or
conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
SKIN
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,
good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
gloves be used in an occupational setting.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may
produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often
characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling epidermis. Histologically there may
be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the
epidermis.
INHALED
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the
respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,
good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
control measures be used in an occupational setting.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and by inhalation of
vapours especially at higher temperatures.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour,
mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by
observing good occupational work practice.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material
ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways
dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly
irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence of
preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset of
persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the
irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to
severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of
minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the
criteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an
infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposure
to the irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that
occurs as result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often
particulate in nature) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases. The disorder
is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucus production.

potential to biodegrade. Attains >99% degradation in activated sludge in
24 hours. Attains >99% degradation in soil is 1-14 days.
Bioconcentration potential is low (BCF less than 100 or log Kow less
than 3). Log octanol/ water partition coefficient (log Kow) is estimated
using the Pomona-Medchem structural fragment to be -1.746. Potential for
the mobility in soil is very high (Koc betweeen 0 and 50).
Henry's Law Constant (H) is estimated to be 3.38E-19 atm.m鲁/mol (25 C)
Log soil organic carbon partition coefficient (log Koc) is estimated to be
0.48.
When released into soil the material is expected to degrade without
significant evaporation. A half-life of between 1 to 10 days is expected.
When released into water, the material is expected to degrade with a
half-life of about 1 to 10 days. Beacuse the material has a log
octanol-water coefficient of less than 3 it is not expected to
bioaccumulate. Release to air is expected to produce photolytic
degradation resulting in hydroxyl radicals. The material is expected to be
removed from the atmosphere by dry and wet deposition (half-life between
1 and 10 days).
ISOTRIDECYL ALCOHOL, ETHOXYLATED:
Octanol/water partition coefficients cannot easily be determined for surfactants because
one part of the molecule is hydrophilic and the other part is hydrophobic. Consequently
they tend to accumulate at the interface and are not extracted into one or other of the
liquid phases. As a result surfactants are expected to transfer slowly, for example, from
water into the flesh of fish. During this process, readily biodegradable surfactants are
expected to be metabolised rapidly during the process of bioaccumulation. This was

Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
emphasised by the OECD Expert Group stating that chemicals are not to be considered to
show bioaccumulation potential if they are readily biodegradable.
Several anionic and nonionic surfactants have been investigated to evaluate their
potential to bioconcentrate in fish. BCF values (BCF - bioconcentration factor) ranging
from 1 to 350 were found. These are absolute maximum values, resulting from the
radiolabelling technique used. In all these studies, substantial oxidative metabolism was
found resulting in the highest radioactivity in the gall bladder. This indicates liver
transformation of the parent compound and biliary excretion of the metabolised compounds,
so that "real" bioconcentration is overstated. After correction it can be expected that
"real" parent BCF values are one order of magnitude less than those indicated above, i.e.
"real" BCF is <100. Therefore the usual data used for classification by EU directives to
determine whether a substance is "Dangerous to the "Environment" has little bearing on
whether the use of the surfactant is environmentally acceptable.
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
