SECTION 3 FIRST AID INFORMATION
Eye Flush immediately with copious amounts of tap water or normal saline (minimum of 15
Exposure: minutes). Take exposed individual to a health care professional, preferably an ophthalmologist,
for further evaluation.
Skin Wash exposed area with plenty of water. Repeat washing. Remove contaminated clothing and
Exposure: wash thoroughly before reuse. If irritation persists consult a health care professional.
Inhalation: If exposure by inhalation is suspected, immediately move exposed individual to fresh air. If
individual experiences nausea, headache, dizziness, has difficulty in breathing or is cyanotic,
seek a health care professional immediately.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Rinse with copious amounts of water or milk, first. Irrigate
the esophagus and dilute stomach contents by slowly giving one (1) to two (2) glasses of water or
milk. Avoid giving alcohol or alcohol related products. In cases where the individual is semi-
comatose, comatose or convulsing, DO NOT GIVE FLUIDS BY MOUTH. In case of intentional
ingestion of the product seek medical assistance immediately; take individual to nearest medical
facility.

Eye Very hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant, corrosive). Inflammation of the eye is
Exposure: characterized by redness, watering, and itching.

Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled. Do not breathe spray mists of the undiluted product. Effects will
depend upon solution strength and length of time of exposure.
Ingestion: Ingestion is not expected to be a primary route of exposure.
2. Effects from Chronic Exposure:
Chronic toxicity testing performed on the active ingredient indicates no significant chronic effects.
Chronic feeding studies on the active ingredient did not reveal any significant adverse effects. Repeated
dermal exposures may cause allergic contact dermatitis type reactions in susceptible individuals. In vitro
mutagenicity tests on the active ingredients were negative. Birth defects are unlikely, as animal tests on the
active ingredients were negative.

Acute Oral (LD50) = 1200 mg/kg Rat
Acute Dermal (LD50) = >2000 mg/kg Rabbit
Acute Inhalation (LC50) = 0.4 mg/l ( 4 hours) Rat
Irritant / Sensitization Effects:
Very hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant, corrosive). Inflammation of the eye is
characterized by redness, watering, and itching.
Very hazardous in case of skin contact (sensitizer). Hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive,
irritant). Skin contact may produce burns. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching,
scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.
May be harmful if inhaled. Do not breathe spray mists of the undiluted product. Effects will
depend upon solution strength and length of time of exposure.
Carcinogenic Potential:
Not tested by Buckman Laboratories. Not shown as a carcinogen by OSHA, IARC, or NTP.
Target Organs Effects:
Contains material which causes damage to the following organs: the nervous system.
May cause damage to the following organs: upper respiratory tract, skin, eyes.
Other Health Effects:
Inhalation toxicity was conducted with a 4 hour exposure under misting conditions. Normal use of
this product under non-misting conditions should not present an occupational hazard. Trace
amounts of ethylene oxide could accumulate in the headspace of drums, storage/transport vessels
or in enclosed areas where the product is being handled or used. If the product is handled
according to the recommendations set forth in this Material Safety Data Sheet, the presence of
trace amounts is not expected to result in any short- and/or long-term hazard. Ethylene oxide is
considered by OSHA to be a possible human carcinogen and reproductive hazard.

SECTION 12 Spill, Leak, and Disposal Procedures
SPILL AND LEAK RESPONSE GUIDELINES:
Important: Before responding to a spill or leak of this product, review each section of this MSDS. Follow the recommendations
given in the Handling Precautions sections. Check the Fire and Explosion Data section to determine if the use of non-sparking tools
is merited. Insure that spilled or leaked product does not come into contact with materials listed as incompatible. If irritating
fumes are present, consider evacuation of enclosed areas.
Emergency Response Assistance: Emergency technical assistance is available at any time from Buckman Laboratories, Inc., by
calling (901) 767-2722.
Initially minimize area affected by the spill or leak. Block any potential routes to water systems (e.g., sewers, streams, lakes, etc.).
Based on the product's toxicological and chemical properties, and on the size and location of the spill or leak, assess the impact on
contaminated environments (e.g. water systems, ground, air equipment, etc.). There are no methods available to completely
eliminate any toxicity this product may have on aquatic environments. Minimize adverse effects on these environments. Buckman
Laboratories, Inc. can be contacted for technical assistance. Determine if federal, state, and/or local release notification is
required (see Regulatory Classifications section of this MSDS). Recover as much of the pure product as possible into appropriate
containers. Later, determine if this recovered product can be used for its intended purpose. Address clean-up of contaminated
environments. Spill or leak residuals may have to be collected and disposed of. Clay, soil, or commercially available absorbents
may be used to recover any material that can not readily be recovered as pure product. Flushing residual material to an industrial
sewer, if present at the site of a spill or leak incident, may be acceptable if authorized approval is obtained. If product and/or
spill/leak residuals are flushed to an industrial sewer, insure that they do not come into contact with incompatible materials.
Contact the person(s) responsible for the operation of your facility's industrial sewer system prior to intentionally flushing or
pumping spills or leaks of this product to the industrial sewer.
DISPOSAL GUIDELINES
Note: Follow federal, state, and local regulations governing the disposal of waste materials.
Neat Product: Contact your Buckman representative or Buckman Laboratories, Inc., at (901) 278-0330.
Contaminated Materials: Determine if waste containing this product can be handled by available industrial effluent system or
other on-site waste management unit. If off-site management is required, contact a company experienced in industrial waste
management. This product is not specifically listed in 40 CFR 261 as a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
hazardous waste. However, spill or leak residuals may meet the criteria of a characteristic hazardous waste under this Act. Check
the characteristics of the material to be disposed of and/or the physical and reactivity data given in this MSDS for the neat
product.
Container Disposal: Empty containers, as defined by appropriate sections of the RCRA, are not RCRA hazardous wastes.
However, insure proper management of any residuals remaining in container.
