SECTION II HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
________________________________________________________________________________
ACUTE
EYES
May cause mild irritation, redness, and tearing.
SKIN CONTACT
May cause slight irritation. May cause severe irritation with repeat or prolonged contact. LD50 (dermal, rat) - 5250 mg/kg
INGESTION
LD50 (oral, rat) - 1200 mg/kg.
INHALATION
Very Toxic by Inhalation. TBE is a central nervous system depressant and a hepatotoxin. May cause irritation of nasal
and respiratory passages. Has very low vapor pressure at room temperature.
CHRONIC
CHRONIC EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE
May cause liver, lung, testes, and kidney damage. Exposure above TLV may increase the body's burden of bromine. To
the best of our knowledge all toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated.

SECTION VI ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
________________________________________________________________________________
RESPONSE TO SMALL SPILLS
Absorb with non-combustible absorbent material. Dispose of properly, prevent from entering sewers. The product is a
non-hazardous waste when spilled material is disposed of defined in Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA)
regulations (40CFR261).
WASTE DISPOSAL
Place in an appropriate disposal facility in compliance with Federal, State, and Local regulations.
____________________________________________________________________________
SECTION VII HANDLING AND STORAGE
________________________________________________________________________________
HANDLING AND STORAGE: Skin and eye contact should be avoided as good industrial practice. Wearing of protective
gloves and eye protection is recommended. Wash hands and contaminated skin area after handling. Follow all warnings
and precautions even after container is emptied. Wash thoroughly after handling or at the end of the shift.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Store in cool dry place away from strong oxidizers and acids. Keep container tightly closed
when not in use. All handling equipment should be properly grounded to prevent the build-up of electrostatic charges.
Storage area should be equipped with CO2 system. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practices.
________________________________________________________________________________
SECTION VIII EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
________________________________________________________________________________
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Not typically required. If exposure exceeds permissible exposure limits wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
compliance with NIOSH/MSHA specifications. Comply with 29CFR 1910.134.
VENTILATION
General (mechanical) room ventilation is generally satisfactory. Special, local ventilation may be needed at points where
vapors can be expected to exceed exposure limits.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
For the best protection wear compatible chemical resistant gloves. Wear additional protective garments were necessary.
EYE PROTECTION
Wear chemical goggles if there is likelihood of contact with eyes.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT
Boots, aprons, or chemical suits should be used when necessary to prevent skin contact. Eye wash fountains and safety
showers should be available for emergency use.
