Appearance
Colorless, white solid with a phenolic odor.
Emergency overview
Each person who could potentially be exposed to this material, via any route of entry, while performing their assignments, routine and
non-routine; from piping; and/or during an emergency situation, should review this MSDS in order to better understand the hazards
associated with the material. Accordingly, please note an * in a HMIS庐 field indicates this material may potentially involve certain chronic
health issues such as cancer -- HMIS庐 is a registered trade and service mark of the NPCA. To work safely with this material : keep
away from heat and ignition sources do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing do not breath in material's vapors, dust, or fumes
keep container closed use with adequate ventilation -- do not enter any confined spaces without first verifying air quality wash
thoroughly after handling avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing avoid breathing material's vapors, dust, or fumes
Health Warnings
lung irritant may cause respiratory sensitization may cause skin sensitization
Health Cautions
may cause eye irritation may cause skin irritation may affect mucous membranes may cause gastrointestinal disturbances

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin contact
Immediately take off all contaminated clothing. For skin contact, flush with large amounts of water. If any adverse effects persist, get medical
attention. The signs and symptoms that may result from an emergency or an unexpected acute overexposure include: rash to irritation to burns
Eye contact
For eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Seek medical advice. The signs and symptoms that may result from an
emergency or an unexpected acute overexposure include: irritation to burns
Inhalation
Move person to non-contaminated air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Seek medical attention. The signs and symptoms that may result from an emergency or an unexpected acute
overexposure include: irritation -- respiratory tract
Ingestion
If the material is swallowed, get immediate medical attention or advice. Never give anything by mouth to a victim who is unconscious or
is having convulsions. If patient has a good gag reflex, you can consider giving several ounces of water for dilution. The signs and
symptoms that may result from an emergency or an unexpected acute overexposure include: nausea ; vomiting ; gastritis
Cardiovascular
The signs and symptoms that may result from an emergency or an unexpected acute overexposure include: arrhythmia
Central Nervous System
Monitor for shock; anticipate seizures and treat accordingly.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure to this Material
Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Please consider other resources such as a regional Poison Control
Center or web sites like the National Library of Medicine TOXNET @ http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov. A specific antidote is not known. Some
of the symptoms presented may become life threatening if the exposure is a result of an emergency or an unexpected acute
overexposure. Additionally, some workers with certain pre-existing medical conditions such as: asthma, allergies, or impaired pulmonary
and/or liver functions, or who may be particularly susceptible to this material, may be affected by exposure to this material.

ORTHO-CUMYL-OCTYLPHENOL
Sensitivity to Static Discharge
Material can accumulate static charges from material handling management. Bond and ground as appropriate. For additional recommendations,
consult an applicable guideline such as National Fire Protection Association [NFPA] 77, "Recommended Practices on Static Electricity". The
Minimum Ignition Energy for some organic solids as a dust may be as low as 3 mJ [millijoules]. The Minimum Explosive Concentration for some
organic solids as a dust may be as low as 0.025 oz/ft3 or ~20 g/m3.
Suitable extinguishing media
Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water fog.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Protection of Firefighters/Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Exclude air; treat like a gasoline or oil fire. Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure demand
breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE, SPILL, LEAK PROCEDURES
Personal Precautions
Follow facility/company's emergency plans.
Environmental Precautions
Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Eliminate sources of ignition. Ventilate the contaminated area. Material will be HOT as a
liquid. One may consider allowing the material to cool as part of a response plan. Contain the spill and prevent the material from
obtaining access to any confined spaces, public sewers, or waterways.
Methods for Clean-Up
Ventilate the contaminated area. Eliminate ignition sources including sources of electrical, static or frictional sparks. Material will be HOT
when in a liquid state. Be sure any absorbents used can withstand the temperature. One may wish to allow it to cool before attempting
to collect the material using absorbents, non-sparking tools, explosion-proof vacuums or other equipment required by the size of the
release. When material is cool, manage the release as a solid. For example, one can: collect solids, place them into an appropriate
container, properly label the container, and then close the container. Immediately arrange for the containers to be placed in an
appropriate waste handling area for ultimate transportation or disposal. Thoroughly clean the release area with a suitable agent and
collect any cleaning, rinsing media(s) for proper reclamation or disposal. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment during cleanup
activities.
Other Information
Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Determine appropriate course of action for the collected material.
Regulations vary. Consult local authorities before disposal.
Exposure Guidelines
All PPE use is to be determined by a qualified person.
7. HANDLING & STORAGE
Handling
Guard against dust accumulation of this material. As with all chemicals, good industrial hygiene practices should be followed when handling this
material. When the container(s) is empty it may retain product residue including vapors which could accumulate. Therefore, do not cut, drill,
grind, or weld empty containers. Additionally, do not conduct such activity(ies) near full, partially full, or empty product containers without
appropriate workplace safety authorization(s) or permit(s).
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated storage area. Protect container from physical abuse. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Keep the
container tightly closed. Keep separate from incompatibles. Bond and ground containers when transferring material. Empty product
containers may contain product residue. Do not reuse empty containers.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Guidelines
All PPE use is to be determined by a qualified person.
Engineering Controls
Ventilation should be sufficient to effectively remove, and prevent buildup of, any vapors, dusts, or fumes that may be generated during
handling or thermal processing. In order to ensure appropriate electrical safety practices are followed, consult applicable standards.
These may include guidelines such as the National Fire Protection Association [NFPA] 70, "The National Electrical Code" and NFPA 499,
"Recommended Practice for the Classification of Combustible Dusts and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in
Chemical Process Areas ". NOTE: since this material's vapors, dust or fumes can form explosive mixtures in air, ensure that any potential
areas where explosions may occur are designed to minimize potential damage. For recommendations to prevent such explosions and
associated damage, consult applicable guidelines such as NFPA 69, "Standard on Explosion Prevention Systems" and/or NFPA 68, "Guide
for Venting Deflagrations".
Personal Protective Equipment
Eye Protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields; chemical goggles (if splashing is possible). Wear a face shield if a splash hazard exists. Select & use eye
protection per a competent health & safety professional using: OSHA [29 CFR 1910.133] or Europe's [EN166].
Skin and body protection
Use appropriate hand protection. Wear impervious gloves for prolonged contact.
Respiratory Protection
Maintain material's vapors, fumes, or particulate levels below any levels of concern including, for solids, considering the material as a
particulate not otherwise classified [nuisance dust] @ 10 mg/m3. Select & use respirators per a competent health & safety professional
using: OSHA (29 CFR 1910.134); ANSI (Z88.2-1992); or Europe's [EN 149].
