B. PRECAUTIONARY LABEL STATEMENTS:
CAUTION! POWDERED MATERIAL MAY FORM
EXPLOSIVE DUST-AIR MIXTURES.
Minimize dust formation and accumulation.
FIRST AID: If burned by contact with molten material, cool as quickly as possible
with water and see a physician for treatment of burn.
Note to Physicians. Burns should be treated as thermal burns. The plastic will come
off as healing occurs; therefore, immediate removal from the skin is not necessary.
FOR MANUFACTURING USE ONLY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
SECTION III. PHYSICAL DATA (1)
-- Appearance and Odor: Pellets with low odor.
-- Softening Point: >125o C (>257o F)
-- Specific Gravity (H2 O = 1): >1.0
-- Solubility in Water: Negligible.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
SECTION IV. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
-- Flash Point: Not applicable: Nonvolatile, combustible.
-- Extinguishing Agent: Water spray, dry chemical, or CO2 .
-- Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus
and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
-- Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Refer to NFPA Pamphlet No. 654, "Prevention of
Fire and Dust Explosions in the Chemical, Dye, Pharmaceutical, and Plastics Industries,"
if this material is to be reduced to or collected as a powder.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
SECTION V. REACTIVITY DATA
-- Stability: Stable.
-- Incompatibility: Oxidizing materials can cause a reaction.
-- Hazardous Decomposition Products: As with any other organic material,
combustion will produce carbon dioxide and probably carbon monoxide.
-- Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.

SECTION VI. TOXICITY AND HEALTH
A. EXPOSURE LIMITS
-- Threshold Limit Value (TLV): Not established.
-- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): Not established.
B. EXPOSURE EFFECTS
Inhalation: Low hazard for usual industrial handling.
Eyes: Low hazard for usual industrial handling.
Skin: Molten material will produce thermal burns.
C. FIRST AID
Skin: If burned by contact with molten material, cool as quickly as possible
with water and see a physician for treatment of burn.
Note to Physicians: Burns should be treated as thermal burns. The plastic
will come off as healing occurs; therefore, immediate removal from the skin is not
necessary.
D. TOXICITY DATA
Toxicity data for the components of these materials are as follows:
Cellulose Acetate Butyrate
Toxicity
Test Species Result (2) Classification (3)
Acute oral LD5 0 Rat >6400 mg/kg Practically
nontoxic
Dermal LD5 0 Guinea pig >1000 mg/kg
Skin irritation Guinea pig Very slight
Skin sensitization Guinea pig None
Feeding Study No. 1: Rats fed diets containing 20% of the compound for 7 days consumed
approx 16 g/kg/day with a maximum daily intake of 18.5 g/kg/day. The animals showed no
ill effect from this massive dosage. (2)
Feeding Study No. 2: Rats were fed diets containing 1.0% and 5.0% of the compound for 99
days. No biologically significant effects were noted in feed intake, weight gain, clinical signs,
hematology, gross pathology, or histopathology. (2)
Feeding Study No. 3: Dogs were fed 50 to 150 g/day of the compound for 4 mo without toxic
effect. (2)
In rats, intratracheal injection of cellulose acetate butyrate dust suspended in 0.25 mL of
water gave no evidence of specific pulmonary reaction as judged by the histological
appearance of the lungs at 10 days and 14 days after injection. (2)

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) Adipate
Acute Toxicity
Test Species Result (2) Classification (3)
Acute oral LD5 0 Rat 9100 mg/kg Practically
nontoxic
Dermal LD5 0 Rabbit 16.3 mL/kg Practically nontoxic
Skin irritation Rabbit Slight
Eye irritation Rabbit Slight
Rats exposed to saturated vapor of the material for 8 h showed no mortality. (2)
Rats fed levels of 0.5, 2.0, or 5.0% of the material in their diet for a month showed definite
growth effect at 5%, but not at the lower levels. No changes in hematology, urine or
histopathology were noted at the lower levels. Similarly, except for a slight transient loss in
appetite, no changes in these same parameters were observed in dogs fed 2 g/kg of the
material in their diet for 2 mo. Rats fed doses of 0.16 to 4.74 g/kg/day in their diet showed
deaths at 4.74 g/kg; no effects were observed on growth, appetite, liver and kidney weights,
or histopathology at 0.16 g/kg. (2)

SECTION VII. VENTILATION AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
A. VENTILATION
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be sufficient to
control airborne levels. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions.
Supplementary local exhaust ventilation or respiratory protection may be
needed in special circumstances such as mechanical generation of dusts, overheating,
etc.
B. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
If respiratory protection is needed, an appropriate NIOSH-approved respirator for
dust or fume should be worn. If respirators are used, a program should be established
to assure compliance with OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.134.
C. SKIN AND EYE PROTECTION
Safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) are recommended for any type of
industrial chemical handling. Gloves should be worn to protect against thermal burns.
Good industrial hygiene practice should be followed which includes minimizing skin
contact.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
SECTION VIII. SPECIAL STORAGE AND HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Keep from contact with oxidizing materials.
