POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY : Inhalation; Skin Contact; Eye Contact; Ingestion
HUMAN EFFECTS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
ACUTE: nMP vapors may cause irritation to the eye, nose, and throat. Symptoms of irritation may include: red,
itchy eyes, dryness of the throat and tightness in the chest. Exposure to very high
concentrations of nMP may cause: headache, nausea, narcosis, fatigue and loss of appetite.
CHRONIC INHALATION : Chronic exposure to organic solvents has been associated with various neurotoxic effects
including permanent brain and nervous system damage. Symptoms include loss of memory, loss of
intellectual ability, and loss of coordination..

REACTAMINE?1KPSP
ACUTE SKIN CONTACT : In a repeated insult patch test using nMP, 50
human subjects showed no irritation during the first 24-hour exposure. However, through repeated and prolonged
contact, some mild transient
irritation reactions were noted. No evidence pointing to sensitization was noted. Although these tests indicate the
material is only mildly
irritating to the skin, experience over many years has included reports of
skin effects, usually associated with continued or repeated gross contact
with nMP such as might be associated with washing by hand of metal or other parts in open containers of the
solvent. Based on this experience,
repeated or prolonged skin contact should be avoided. nMP can penetrate the skin and may cause effects similar to
those identified under acute
inhalation symptoms.
CHRONIC SKIN CONTACT : Chronic skin exposure to organic solvents may cause effects similar to those identified
under chronic inhalation effects.
ACUTE EYE CONTACT : Vapors of nMP may cause irritation to the eyes with symptoms of tearing, reddening and
swelling. If left untreated,
corneal damage can occur and injury is slow to heal. This product also contains an amine at less than 1%. Vapors of
this amine can cause a
blurring of vision known as "glaucopsia" or "halo vision". Glaucopsia is
not detrimental to the eye per se, but it predisposes a person to physical accidents and reduces the ability of the
affected individual to undertake skilled tasks such as driving a motorized vehicle or operating heavy equipment.
However, these effects are usually reversible.
CHRONIC EYE CONTACT : Prolonged vapor contact may cause
conjunctivitis.
ACUTE INGESTION : Can result in irritation in the digestive
tract. Symptoms can include sore throat, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea. Vomiting may cause aspiration of solvent resulting in
chemical pneumonitis.
CHRONIC INGESTION... : None determined.
CARCINOGENICITY. : The components of this product are not listed
by NTP, IARC or regulated as a carcinogen by OSHA.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS
AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE....: Persons with preexisting eye, skin and respiratory tract disorders may be more
susceptible to the effects of this product.

REACTAMINE?1KPSP
FIRST AID FOR EYES...: Flush immediately with clean, lukewarm water (low pressure) for at least 15 minutes, while
holding eyelids open. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists.
FIRST AID FOR SKIN...: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
FIRST AID FOR INHALATION: Move to an area free from risk of further exposure. Administer oxygen
or artificial respiration as needed. Obtain medical attention.
FIRST AID FOR INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
CONSCIOUS PERSON. Consult a physician.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT.................: Not applicable (water based product), however, solid material will support
combustion if water has been evaporated.
FLAMMABLE LIMITS:
UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (UEL) (%): 12.2 NMP
LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (LEL) (%): 2.2 NMP
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA : Carbon Dioxide; Dry Chemical; Foam; Water
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Full emergency equipment with self-contained breathing apparatus should be
worn. During a fire irritating, toxic gases (see Reactivity Data) and smoke are present from decomposition/combustion.
Closed container may explode when exposed to extreme heat. Solid residue will support combustion after the water has
evaporated.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES ...........: Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate the area. Equip clean-up crew with
appropriate protective equipment (See Employee Protection Recommendations). Dike or impound spilled
material and control further spillage if feasible. Notify appropriate authorities if necessary. Cover spill with
sawdust, vermiculite, Fuller's earth or other absorbent material; collect material in open containers. Remove
containers to safe place and cover. Flush spill area with water.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE TEMPERATURE(MIN/MAX): 41 F (5 C)/122 F (50 C)
SHELF LIFE : Approximately 6 months at 71 F (25 C) in closed original container.
SPECIAL SENSITIVITY : Material is water based and can freeze at temperatures below 32 F. nMP
is hygroscopic.

REACTAMINE?1KPSP
HANDLING/STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: Protect from freezing. Containers should be tightly sealed to prevent
contamination with foreign materials.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS ..........: Liquid chemical goggles or full-face shield. Contact lenses should not be
worn.
SKIN PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS......... : Chemical resistant gloves (natural latex and neoprene recommended).
Cover as much of the exposed skin area as possible with appropriate clothing. If skin creams are used, keep the area
covered only by the cream to a minimum.
VENTILATION/RESPIRATORY REQUIREMENT: Exhaust ventilation sufficient to keep the airborne concentrations of
the hazardous constituents below the appropriate TLV or other exposure limit must be utilized. Exhaust air may need to
be cleaned by scrubbers or filters to reduce environmental contamination. Curing ovens must be ventilated to prevent the
build up of explosive atmospheres and to prevent off gases from entering the work place. In addition, a respirator that is
recommended or approved for use in organic vapor containing environments (air purifying or fresh air supplied) may be
necessary. In spray applications an organic vapor/particulate respirator or air supplied unit is necessary. The use of a
positive pressure supplied air respirator is mandatory when: airborne concentrations are not known; when airborne
concentrations are 10 times the TLV; or if spraying is performed in a confined space or area with limited ventilation.
Consider type of application and environmental concentrations. Take into account other materials being used
concurrently. Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 CFR 1910.134).
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE MEASURES...... : Safety showers and eye wash stations should be easily accessible to the
work area. Worker training is important. Follow all label precautions.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Oral Effects (LD50): 3914 mg/kg (Rat) (RTECS)
Acute Dermal Toxicity (LD50): 2472 mg/kg intraperitoneal (Rat) (RTECS)
Inhalation Toxicity (LC50): LCLo: 1 gm/m3 (Rat) (RTECS)
Eye Effects: Moderate irritation to Rabbit eyes (Standard DraizeTest) (RTECS)
Skin Effects : Contact may cause mild irritation, skin absorption may
occur. Prolonged contact has been reported to cause severe dermatitis with redness, cracking, swelling, blisters and
edema. (MDL Services, Inc. MSDS)
Chronic Toxicity: In animal studies in rats and mice, n-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) was embryotoxic by the oral and
intraperitoneal routes at very high dose levels which were close to the LD50 of NMP (1400 mg/kg -Rat). In a dermal
exposure study with rats, NMP was only embryotoxic at the high dose level; this effect was attributed to maternal toxicity.*
In a 2 year inhalation study, NMP did not cause any chronic or carcinogenic effects in rats at 0.04 or 0.4 mg/L (10 and 100
ppm respectively). Testicular effects were seen after oral and inhalation exposure at high dose levels inanimal studies
(Oral exposure: 2000 mg/kg -Rats -28 days; Inhalation expsoure: 3mg/l** -6 hours/5 days a week for 90 days).* In the
inhalationtest, the 0.5 mg/l (125 ppm) level was a clear no-adverse-effect concentration. The likelihood of exposure via a
liquid respirable aerosol route should be low for both consumer and workplace settings.*
Developmental Toxicity: One dermal teratology study in rats showed evidence of teratogenic effects at doses of 750
mg/kg, which were attributed to maternal toxicity.
Other toxicity Data: Rats exposed to NMP vapors for a single uninterrupted six hour period survived the highest
concentrations studied, and showed no evidence of toxic effects during a two-week observation period. Rats exposed to
saturated vapor concentrations of NMP for 6H/day for 10 days also showed no evidence of toxic effects.
