HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Main symptoms: No adverse health effects expected if the product is handled with care.
Symptoms that may arise if the product is mishandled are:
Acute:
Swallowed: Small amounts transferred to the mouth by fingers should not injure.
Swallowing large quantities can result in central nervous system depression with symptoms
of headache, dizziness, fatigue and nausea. Large dose may cause unconsciousness. If the
victim is un-coordinated there is a greater likelihood of vomit entering the lungs and causing
complications.
Eye: Vapours may irritate and cause pain and watering. Direct contact irritates slightly with
redness and swelling.
Skin: A single short exposure (less than 24 hours) may irritate. Repeated prolonged contact
(24 to 48 hours) may irritate moderately and lead to dermatitis. Skin penetration possible.
Will have a degreasing action on the skin.
Inhaled: Vapours may irritate nose and throat. Inhalation of mist may injure the following
organ(s): Blood, Liver and Kidneys. Due to the presence of solvent at high vapour/fog
concentrations, headaches, sleepiness, nausea and depression of the central nervous system
can occur. High concentrations of vapours, if exposure is prolonged, may cause loss of co-
ordination, impaired judgement and unconsciousness. Excessive chronic absorption by
inhalation or ingestion can result in liver injury. Toxicity of solvent n-Butyl acetate is higher
in the form of an aerosol (LD50/Inhalation/4/rat= 0.7 mg/l) than in the form of vapour (no
mortality in rat at 30 mg/l during 4 hours).
Chronic:
Swallowed: Small amounts transferred to the mouth by fingers should not injure.
Swallowing large quantities may injure slightly. May cause lung damage if swallowed.
Eye: At high vapour/fog concentrations: Risk of eye irritation. Direct contact with liquid: Risk
of damage to eyes. Damage to conjunctiva and cornea. Effect reversible within a few days.
Skin: Repeated or prolonged exposure may irritate seriously and cause dermatitis, due to
degreasing properties of the product.
Inhaled: Inhalation of mist may injure the following organ(s): Blood, Liver and Kidneys. At
high vapour/fog concentrations: Risk of irritation of respiratory system.

Toxicity data for ethyl alcohols
Oral LD50 (rat): 7060 mg/kg
Dermal LD50 (rabbit): 20g/kg
Inhalation LD50 (rat): 20,000 ppm/10 hrs
Estimated fatal dose (human): 300-400 ml of pure ethanol
A study of the effects of ethanol inhalation in humans found that between 5000-10000 ppm
subjects experienced coughing and smarting of the eyes and nose, with the symptoms
disappearing within minutes. People exposed at 15000 ppm experienced continuous
lacrimation and coughing. Irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract were not noted at
concentrations below 5000 ppm.
Notes to physicians
Treat symptomatically. The product hydrolyses with water and may form a precipitate on
contact with eyes. Mechanical removal of the precipitate may be advisable.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Avoid eye exposure. Avoid skin contact. Avoid breathing mist. Keep container closed. Do not
take internally.
Engineering Control
Local exhaust and general ventilation recommended. Keep within ambient temperatures.
Maintain ambient concentration below the recommended threshold exposure limits. Ensure
ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below exposure standards. The vapour
is heavier than air 鈥? prevent concentration in sumps. Avoid all ignition sources. The vapour
may travel a considerable distance to the source of ignition and flash back. Flameproof
equipment is necessary in the area where this chemical is used. Nearby equipment must be
earthed. Hoses should be electrically continuous and containers bonded to avoid static
charge build-up.
Personal Protection
Exercise good industrial hygiene practice. Wash after handling, especially before eating,
drink or smoking. Do not enter confined spaces where vapour may have accumulated.
Respiratory Protection
Use respiratory protection unless adequate local exhaust ventilation is provided or air-
sampling data show exposures are within recommended exposure guidelines. Industrial
Hygiene Personnel can assist in judging the adequacy of existing engineering controls.
Avoid breathing vapors and air born material. Use respirators in accordance with AS 1715
and AS 1716. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or other supplied-air respirator
recommended.
Hand Protection
Avoid repeated or prolonged skin contact. Wash at mealtime and end of shift. Contaminated
clothing and shoes should be removed as soon as practical and thoroughly cleaned before
reuse. Wear overalls and suitable protective gloves when handling this material. U.S Brands
of Silver Shield庐, Barricade 庐, Responder 庐, Chemrel庐 or equivalent. Due to variations in
glove construction, a final assessment should be made by the user.
Eye Protection
Avoid eye contact with vapour, mist or spray. Use chemical worker鈥檚 goggles. Flammability:
Highly flammable liquid. Vapour may travel a considerable distance to the source of ignition
and flash back. May form explosive mixtures with air.
Comments
Product evolves alcohol on exposure to water or humid air. Provide ventilation during use to
control methanol within exposure guidelines of WORKSAFE or use respiratory protection.
These precautions are for room temperature handling. Use at elevated temperature or
aerosol/spray application may require added precautions.
