SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flash Point: Greater than 244癋 (118癈) closed cup.
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical, water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures - Special: Use self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not use a direct
stream of water. Product will float. Water or foam may cause frothing, which can be violent,
especially sprayed into containers of hot or burning liquid.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures and Precautions:
Material will not burn unless preheated. Do not enter confined fire space without full bunker gear
(helmet with face shield, bunker coats, gloves and rubber boots), including a positive pressure niosh
approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool fire exposed containers with water.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Delayed lung damage (pulmonary edema) can be experienced after exposure to combustion
products, sometimes hours after the exposure. Nitrogen oxides and nitrogen containing organic
compounds may be released upon combustion.

SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Primary Routes of Exposure: Dermal.
Oral LD50: (Rat) 1030 mg/kg.
Dermal LD50: (Rat) 699 mg/kg (component) (Toxic by skin contact).
Inhalation LC50: (Rat) > 0.18 mg/l air 4 hours. No deaths at 14 days.
Sensitization: Potential sensitizer. (Guinea pig) No sensitization observed.
Skin Irritation: Corrosive. Causes burns.
Eye Irritation: Corrosive. Causes burns.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Allergy, eczema, or skin conditions.
Overexposure Effects: Overexposure can cause chemical burns to the skin and eyes and may result
in blindness. Vapors may be severely irritating to the respiratory tract. Considered to be a dermal
toxicant. May affect the central nervous system, liver, and kidneys.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes for at least 15 minutes with running water. Hold eyelids apart
to ensure rinsing of the entire eye surface and lids with water. If physician is not
available, flush for an additional 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin: Under a safety shower, immediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
affected areas thoroughly with large amounts of water, and soap if available, for at
least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention. Discard or decontaminate
clothing before reuse and destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion: Immediately give at least 3-4 glasses of water, but do not induce vomiting. If vomiting
occurs, give fluids again. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or
convulsing person. Get immediate medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove from area to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get
immediate medical attention. If breathing is difficult, transport to medical care and, if
available, give supplemental oxygen.
Other: Promptly remove wet contaminated non-impervious clothing, wash before
reuse. Destroy contaminated leather and absorbent shoes.
SUPPLEMENTAL HEALTH INFORMATION
Triethylenetetramine (TETA) has been found to be a direct acting mutagen in Ames Assay. It
gave positive results with and without activation.
TETA was fetotoxic and teratogenic when fed to rats at 0.83% and 1.67% of diet. When applied
dermally to the skin of pregnant guinea pigs, there was a 90% abortion rate or death of fetus with
secondary to copper deficiency, resulting from the chelating activity of TETA.
SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
TETA is resistant to biodegradation in biological wastewater treatment plants. It could be toxic to the
biomass in a treatment plant and could be toxic to fish. Keep out of surface waters, sewers, and
waterways entering or leading to surface waters. Notify authorities if any exposure to the general

public or environment occurs or is likely to occur. EPA ?Comprehensive environmental response.
Compensation and Liability Act. Under EPA-CERCLA ("Superfund") releases to air, land or water
may be reportable to The National Response Center, 1-800-424-8802 (circumstances surrounding
the release and cleanup determine reportability).
Spill Procedures: Avoid all personal contact. Take up with absorbent material. Shovel into closable
containers. Flush contaminated area with water.
Waste Disposal Methods: Polymerize in bucket. Add 100 parts of S1301 M Part A to each 20 parts
of S1301 M, Part B by weight, or 3.0 Part A :1.0 Part B by volume, and thoroughly
mix. Set outdoors until the mixture is set up and cooled down, dispose in
accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations.
