Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
HUMAN EFFECTS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Acute Inhalation
For Component: Diethanolamine
Inhalation is unlikely due to the low vapor pressure. If misted or handled at elevated temperatures, high concentrations may
cause respiratory tract irritation. Overexposure to vapor may produce dizziness, drowsiness, or nausea.
For Component: 2-Phenoxyethanol
May cause respiratory tract irritation with symptoms of coughing, sore throat and runny nose. May cause nervous system
effects which can include symptoms of dizziness, incoordination, headache, numbness, and/or confusion.
Acute Skin
For Component: Diethanolamine
Causes irritation with symptoms of reddening, itching, and swelling.
For Component: 2-Phenoxyethanol
Slightly toxic by skin absorption.

5. Fire-Fighting Measures
All extinguishing media are suitable.
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Special Fire Fighting Procedures
Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus to protect against potentially toxic and irritating
fumes. Use cold water spray to cool fire-exposed containers to minimize risk of rupture.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazards
Toxic and irritating gases/fumes may be given off during burning or thermal decomposition.
6. Accidental release measures
Spill and Leak Procedures
Cleanup personnel must use appropriate personal protective equipment. Cover spill with inert material (e. g., dry sand or
earth) and collect for proper disposal.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling/Storage Precautions
Avoid breathing dust, vapor, or mist. Avoid contact with skin or clothing. Avoid contact with eyes. Use only with adequate
ventilation/personal protection. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container closed when not in use. Protect from
freezing. Keep out of reach of children.
