EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
DANGER. Corrosive. Do not get on skin. Harmful if swallowed or inhaled.
Avoid breathing vapor or mists. Clear liquid with acid odor.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Primary Route of Entry: Eye contact, skin contact, inhalation
Acute/Potential Health Effects:
EYES: Can cause permanent eye injury. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness,
and swelling of eyes. Can injure the cornea and cause blindness.
SKIN: Both the liquid and vapor can cause severe burns which may not be immediately
painful or visible.
INHALATION: Breathing of this material is harmful. Mist or vapor inhalation can cause
severe irritation to the nose, throat and upper respiratory tract.
INGESTION: Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Symptoms may include severe burning and pain
in mouth, throat and abdomen. Vomiting, diarrhea and perforation of the esophagus and
stomach lining may occur.

Section 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION - continued:
Chronic / Long Term Effects: Repeated exposure may produce erosion and discoloration of
teeth. May cause systemic toxic effects such as hypocalcemia. 2-Butoxyethanol has caused
red blood cell hemolysis in lab animals and secondary injury to the liver and kidney.
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: Overexposure may cause delayed skin burns, contact
dermatitis, bronchitis with cough, phlegm, shortness of breath and emphysema, can cause
chronic runny nose, tearing of the eyes, nosebleeds and stomach upsets.
Target Organ Effects: Skin, lungs and upper respiratory tract, liver, kidney.
Reproductive/Developmental Information: No data.
Carcinogenic Information: This material is not listed as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP or
OSHA.

Section 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Get medical attention immediately.
SKIN: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention immediately.
Overexposure may produce hypocalcemia, therefore systemic administration of calcium
gluconate may be necessary.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
INGESTION: Seek medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting. If victim
is alert, give 1/2 to 1 glass of water. Call a poison control center or doctor for
treatment advice.

Section 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: No flash by standard methods
Extinguishing Media: Use appropriate methods for combating surrounding fire.
Special Fire Fighting Instructions: Wear a self contained breathing apparatus with a
full face piece operated in the positive pressure demand mode. Chemical resistant PPE
is recommended.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Stop all leaks. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. dry sand, earth). Prevent runoff
from entering drains, sewers or other bodies of water. Absorb unrecoverable product.
Transfer contaminated absorbent, soil and other materials to containers for disposal.
Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is emptied because they may
contain product residues. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not get in eyes, on skin
or clothing. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use.
Keep out of reach of children.
Section 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS and PERSONAL PROTECTION

MSDS Number: 6008
Skin Protection: To prevent repeated or prolonged contact, wear impervious gloves
(made from rubber, nitrile or neoprene), clothing and boots.
Respiratory Protection: When respiratory protection is required, use an acid gas cartridge.
A respiratory program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.34 & ANSI Z88.2 requirements must
be followed.
Engineering Controls: Good general ventilation required.
