Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at lease 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove
contact lenses, if worn. Get medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Do NOT
induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a physician. Never give anything by mouth to
an unconscious person. Get medical attention.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
NFPA: Health: 1 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0

Flammable properties Flash point (test method): 109 C (228 F) (Closed Cup)
Flammable limits in air, % by volume: Upper: No Information Lower: No Information
Autoignition temperature: 394 C (741 F)
Products of combustion: Carbon monoxide and butadiene.
Extinguishing Media: Use alcohol type aqueous film forming foam for large
fires. Use CO2 or dry chemical for small fires.
Fire Fighting Environmental Concerns: Thoroughly decontaminate bunker gear and other
fire-fighting equipment before re-use.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Water spray should be used to cool fire-exposed
structures and vessels. Water or foam may cause
frothing. Water spray can be used to reduce the
intensity of flames and to dilute spills to a
non-flammable mixture. Keep personnel removed
from and upwind of fire. If potential for exposure to
vapors or products of combustion exists, wear full fire
fighting turnout gear and NIOSH approved
self-contained breathing apparatus. Oxidizing
chemicals may accelerate the burning rate in a fire
situation.


6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL OR LEAK INSTRUCTIONS
See Section 8 for appropriate personal protective equipment. Contain spill with dikes of soil or nonflammable
absorbent to minimize contaminated area. Avoid run-off into storm sewers and ditches leading to waterways.
If required, notify state and local authorities. Place leaking containers in well-ventilated area. Clean up small
spills by using a nonflammable absorbent or flushing sparingly with water. Contain larger spills with
nonflammable diking or absorbent. Clean up by vacuuming or sweeping.

Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind; keep out of low areas.
Assess the spill situation, as the spill may not involve large amounts of hazardous airborne contaminants in
many outdoor spill situations. It may be advisable in some cases to simply monitor the situation until spilled
product is removed.

any excess pressure to vent. Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash
thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Decontaminate soiled clothing thoroughly before re-use.
Destroy contaminated leather clothing.
This product may generate a static charge. Ground/bond equipment when transferring material to prevent
static accumulation. Electrical equipment and circuits in all storage and handling must conform to
requirements of National Electric code (Article 500 and 501) for hazardous location.
Storage: Do not store with incompatible materials. See Section 10. Stability and Reactivity.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: General or dilution ventilation is frequently insufficient as the sole means of
controlling employee exposure. Local ventilation is usually preferred.
Protective Equipment: A safety shower and eyebath should be readily available.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious clothing and gloves to prevent contact. Nitrile rubber is
recommended. Other protective material may be used, depending on the
situation, if adequate degradation and permeation data is available. If other
chemicals are used in conjunction with this chemical, material selection should
be based on protection for all chemicals present.
Eye/face Protection: Wear chemical goggles when there is a reasonable chance of eye contact.
Respiratory Protection: Based on workplace contaminant level and working limits of the respirator, use a
respirator approved by NIOSH. The following is the minimum recommended
equipment for an occupational exposure level. To estimate an occupational
exposure level see Section 3, Section 8 and Section 11.
For concentrations > 1 and < 10 times the occupational exposure level: Use air-
purifying respirator with full face piece and organic vapor cartridge(s) or air-
purifying full face piece respirator with an organic vapor canister or a full
face piece powered air-purifying respirator fitted with organic vapor cartridge(s).
The air purifying element must have an end of service life indicator, or a
documented change out schedule must be established. Otherwise, use supplied
air.
For concentrations more than 10 times the occupational exposure level and less
than the lower of either 100 times the occupational exposure level or the IDLH:
Use Type C full face piece supplied-air respirator operated in positive-pressure
or continuous-flow mode.
For concentrations > 100 times the occupational exposure level or greater than
the IDLH level or unknown concentrations (such as in emergencies): Use self-
contained breathing apparatus with full face piece in positive-pressure mode or
Type C positive-pressure full face piece supplied-air respirator with an auxiliary
positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus escape system.

For escape: Use self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece or any
respirator specifically approved for escape.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Component & CAS Number: 1,3 Butylene Glycol 107-88-0
Weight %: 99.5
Component toxicological Information: Acute Exposure:
Oral LD50: 18.6 鈥? 30 g/kg (rats); practically nontoxic to animals
Inhalation LC50: No mortality following 8 hour exposure to saturated vapor
(concentration not specified).
Skin: Minimally irritating to skin; no evidence of skin sensitization.
Practically nontoxic to animals (estimated LD50, guinea pigs >
20 g/kg based on repeated exposure study).
Eyes: No irritation to slight irritation in rabbit eyes, depending on the
concentration administered.
Mutagenicity: Not mutagenic in vivo (rat dominant lethal and cytogenetic assays). No
in vitro information available.
Carcinogenicity: No toxic effects in rats after administration of 1, 3, or 10%
(approximately 1-12 g/kg/day) in the diet for up to two years.
Reproductive/Developmental
Effects: 1,3-butylene glycol was administered at 5, 10, or 24% (approximately
2.5, 5 or 12 g/kg/day) in the diet to male and female rats over five
generations. Reproduction and lactation parameters were comparative
to controls for four or five generations of parents and offspring. The
pregnancy rate of F1A rats decreased during five successive mating
cycles. Excluding this group, the viability of F2 generation pups
revealed no significant differences between litters or between control
and test groups. In a teratology study conducted as part of the
reproduction study, no definitive dose-related teratological findings in
either soft or skeletal tissue were noted. Fetotoxicty (e.g., delayed
ossification of sternebrae) was noted at the 10% and 24% doses. A
dietary level of 20% (approx. 10 g/kg/day) produced no developmental
effects in the three generation study despite reduced parental weight
gain. In a teratology study, rats administered 0.7, 4.2 or 7.1 g/kg/day
orally by gavage on days 6-15 of gestation showed sedation at the two
higher doses; a dose-related reduction in the average bodyweight of
offspring was found. No teratogenic effects were noted.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION continued鈥?
Repeated Exposure: Rats exposed to doses of 1-10% in the diet (approximately 1-12
g/kg/day) for two years of 5-40% in the diet (3.4-22.5 g/kg/day) for eight
weeks showed no evidence of toxic effects. Dogs exposed orally to
doses up to 1 g/kg/day showed no evidence of toxic effects. No adverse
effects were observed when undiluted 1,3-butylene glycol was applied
for 2 hr/day to the intact or abraded skin of guinea pigs for 4 or 14 days
respectively, at a dose of 20 g/kg/day. Numerous studies have been
conducted to investigate the effect of substituting 1,3-butylene glycol in
place of carbohydrate in the diet of various species of animals,
including rats, dogs, pigs and cows. Up to a dietary level of about 1-
15%, this chemical appears to be well utilized as a source of energy,
but at higher levels growth is impaired.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Component & CAS Number: 1,3-Butylene Glycol 107-88-0
Weight %: 99.5
Component Ecological Information:
Ecotoxicity: 1,3-Butylene Glycol is estimated to have low acute toxicity to aquatic species.
Fish, OSAR-Estimated 96-hr. LC50 using Computer Program (EPA ECOWIN v 0.99E.ECOSAR software):
9514 mg/l.
Crustacean (Daphnia), OSAR-Estimated 48-hr. LC50 using Computer Program (EPA ECOWIN v
0.99E.ECOSAR software): 8703 mg/l
Algae, Green (Selenastrum capricornutum: OECD 201) 72-hr. EC50: > 1070 mg/l (measured concentration).
Neither the area under the growth nor the growth rate were reduced by 1,3-butylene glycol at a mean
measured level of 1070 mg/l. Therefore, the 鈥渘o-observed effect concentration鈥? for algal growth inhibition
was greater than or equal to 1070 mg/l.
Bacteria (Activated Sludge-Respiration Inhibition test; OECD 209) 3-hr. EC50: > 100mg/l (nominal conc.).
No inhibitory effect on the respiration of activated sludge at 100 mg/l or the other lower concentrations
tested.
Environmental Fate:
Degradation: Ready biodegradability was assessed in the Carbon Dioxide Evolution Test (Modified Sturm
Test; OECD 301b). 1,3-Butylene glycol met the criteria for 鈥渞eady biodegradability鈥?. Degradation progressed
throughout the test period as follows: 10% degradation after 3 days; 60% after 12 days; 81% degradation by
the end of the test on Day 29. Atmospheric photodegradation half-life was calculated to be 9.0 hours.
Bioaccumulation: The calculated log n-octanol/water partition coefficient is -0.2909. This indicates low
potential for bioaccumulation.
