3. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Viscous clear liquid with a butyl acetate odor. The product is flammable. Product is probably
toxic to aquatic organisms. See exposure limits in section 2 which are quoted for the most
sensitive component in this product. It is very likely (but not tested) that the safe exposure limits
for this product are significantly higher than quoted due to interactions of this most sensitive
component with other chemicals in the formulation. However, according to 29CFR 1910.1200
this product is to exhibit the hazard of any component whose concentration is above 1% (0.1%
for carcinogens or possible carcinogens).
EXPOSURE CHARACTERISTICS
Overexposure may cause headache, nasal and respiratory irritation,
nausea, drowsiness, central nervous system depression, vomiting
INHALATION and loss of consciousness.
Aid: Move exposed person to fresh air. If breathing has stopped,
perform CPR. Get medical attention as soon as possible.
SKIN Exposure may cause drying, cracking, irritation or dermatitis.
Aid: If clothing soaked, immediately remove clothing and wash skin
with soap and water. Launder clothing before wearing. Get medical
attention promptly.
EYES Exposure to vapor or liquid product may be irritating, and could
cause reddening, swelling, and tissue damage if not removed
immediately.
Aid: Immediately flush eyes with water for a minimum of 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Get medical attention
promptly.
SWALLOWING Aspiration hazard. Small amounts of the liquid aspirated into the
OR INGESTION respiratory system during ingestion, or from vomiting, may cause
bronchopneumonia or pulmonary edema. Ingestion may result in
irritation, headache, nausea, drowsiness, fatigue, central nervous
system depression, convulsions and loss of consciousness.
Aid: Call 911 and/or a physician immediately. Do not induce
vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
OVEREXPOSURE
Repeated ingestion of 2-butoxyethanol may cause acute toxic effects, specifically
damage to the red blood cells. Absorption of 2-butoxyethanol by inhalation and/or
repeated skin contact may cause injury to liver, kidney and blood damage. 2-
butoxyethanol is considered fetotoxic and has caused toxic reproductive effects in
laboratory animals. The Chemical Manufacturers Association unexpectedly found acute
toxicity when isopropanol was administered to pregnant rabbits by gavage. One
component is listed as probably carcinogenic by NTP based upon a two-year ingestion
study with the female rat. However, mice showed no increase in tumors.
4. FIRST AID
EXPOSURE FIRST AID
INHALATION Aid: Move exposed person to fresh air. If breathing has
stopped, perform CPR. Get medical attention as soon as
possible.
SKIN Aid: If clothing soaked, immediately remove clothing and
wash skin with soap and water. Launder clothing before
wearing. Get medical attention promptly.
EYES Aid: Immediately flush eyes with water for a minimum of
15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
Get medical attention promptly.
SWALLOWING OR Aid: Call 911 and/or physician immediately. Do not
INGESTION induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
5. FIRE AND EXPOSION DATA
Some data is not available for the product, therefore in those cases, information on a
sensitive component is provided. Synergistic effects could result in the product mixture
being more active than the most sensitive component. The vapors from this product are
heavier than air and could flow to a remote location and be ignited, leading to a
flashback. Some components of the product may float on water.
This is a flammable product.
Flash Point 49 deg F for product
Autoignition 450 deg F for VM&P naphtha
Temperature
Flammable Limits % Upper Lower
Volume in Air 12.7 for isopropanol 1 for VM&P naphtha
Extinguishing Media Carbon Dioxide, dry chemical or foam. Water stream may
spread fire, use water spray only to cool containers exposed
to fire. If leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to
disperse vapors.
Hazardous Incomplete combustion can yield carbon monoxide, various
Decomposition hydrocarbons, silicon dioxide, formaldehyde and various
Products other oxides of carbon.
Fire and Explosion Can form combustible mixtures with air when heated.
Hazards
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE
SPILLS Notify emergency response personnel. Evacuate area and remove ignition
sources. Contain spills, collect and place in suitable container for disposal.
Pick up with inert non combustible absorbent for disposal. Wear appropriate
personnel protection.
DISPOSAL Utilize licensed waste disposal company. Disposal may be subject to
national, state or local regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE Containers should be tightly closed to avoid possible evaporation and
accumulation of flammable vapors. Bond and ground containers when
transferring to avoid spark and possible ignition of vapors. To avoid sudden
release of pressure on larger vessels, loosen closure cautiously before
opening. Storage in aluminum containers is not recommended.
8. PROTECTION INFORMATION
See exposure guidelines in section 2. The percentages of the various components of the
product are a trade secret.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY Use a properly approved NIOSH/MSHA respirator unless
vapor/mist/dust levels are below PEL/TLV limits. Local exhaust
ventilation is recommended.
EYE Safety Glasses, chemical goggles or face shield as appropriate.
SKIN Protective clothing/gloves should be worn to minimize contact.
VENTILATION Maintain local or dilution ventilation to keep air concentration
below PEL/TLV limits. Loading, unloading, tank gauging, etc.
remain upwind. Request assistance of safety and industrial
hygiene personnel to determine air concentrations.
