POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Primary routes of exposure:
Routes of entry for solids and liquids include eye and skin
contact, ingestion and inhalation. Routes of entry for gases
include inhalation and eye contact. Skin contact may be a route of
entry for liquefied gases.
Solvents are absorbed through the skin.
Acute toxicity:
Inhalation may cause CNS depression, blurred vision, dizziness and
drowsiness.
Overexposure may cause nausea and vomiting.
Inhalation causes headache and nausea.
Gases have a suffocating effect.
Rapid vapourization of the liquid may cause frostbite on exposed
tissues.
Eye contact may result in burns and permanent injury.
Vapors have a suffocating effect.
Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling this
product may be harmful or fatal.
Information on: n-butyl acetate
Inhalation of butyl acetate vapors may result in headache,
dizziness, nausea, irritation of the respiratory tract, and
CNS depression. Prolonged inhalation exposures have been known
to produce upper respiratory tract irritation and acute
transient signs of reduced activity at concentrations at 1500
ppm and above in rats, with no cumulative neurotoxic effects.
Overexposure may cause irritation of the eyes, nose and
throat.
Information on: ethyl acetate

Version: 1.0 (30338406/CDU_GEN_US/EN)
Ethyl acetate vapors are irritating to the eyes, respiratory
tract, and mucous membranes. Acute overexposure to ethyl
acetate vapors may result in headache, nausea, vomiting or
narcosis.
Information on: ethyl benzene
Vapors are readily absorbed through the lungs. Inhalation of
ethylbenzene vapors causes drowsiness, narcosis, headaches,
cramps, and tightness of the chest. Severe overexposure can
cause death due to respiratory center paralysis. If aspiration
occurs, chemical pneumonitis or pulmonary edema may result.
Ingestion may result in kidney or liver damage. Ethyl benzene
is absorbed through the skin at a low rate.
Information on: isobutanol
Inhalation or ingestion of isobutanol may result in narcosis.
Information on: 1,2,4 trimethylbenzene
Inhalation of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene may result in CNS effects
including CNS depression, nausea, anxiety and headache.
Aspiration of the liquid into the lungs may result in
pulmonary edema and chemical pneumonitis. Asthmatic bronchitis
may be aggravated by 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene exposure.
Information on: xylene
Aspiration of xylene may result in chemical pneumonitis,
pulmonary edema and hemorrhage. Ingestion and skin absorption
may lead to CNS depression, symptoms may include nausea,
dizziness and blurred vision.
Irritation:
Skin contact may result in irritation, defatting and dermatitis.
Vapors cause irritation to the respiratory tract and the eyes.
Prolonged inhalation of product vapor can result in irritation of
the mucous membranes.
Information on: ethyl benzene
Ethylbenzene is extremely irritating to the eyes, skin and
upper respiratory tract. Eye contact may result in
conjunctivitis and corneal injury.
Repeated dose toxicity:
Information on: n-butyl acetate
In a teratogenicity study, pregnant rabbits were exposed to
n-butyl acetate vapors at 0 or 1500 ppm from day 1 to day 19
of gestation; pregnant rats were exposed at the same
concentrations from day 1 to day 16 of gestation. Body weight
changes were observed in the rats but not the rabbits.
Reproductive performance was not affected. Rabbit fetus size
was not affected by exposure, but fetal size in all exposed
groups of rats was reduced, suggesting embryotoxicity.
Information on: ethyl acetate
Chronic overexposure to ethyl acetate may lead to liver,
kidney, lung damage, and possible blood disorders, such as
anemia.
Information on: ethyl benzene
Animal studies indicate that chronic overexposure to
ethylbenzene may cause liver and kidney injury. Increased
liver and kidney weight were found in rats exposed to 400 ppm
for 186 days. Animal studies indicate that the vapors may be
embryotoxic. Prolonged skin contact will cause edema and
blistering. In NTP 2-year inhalation studies, clear evidence

Version: 1.0 (30338406/CDU_GEN_US/EN)
of carcinogenicity of ethylbenzene in male rats was noted
based on increased incidences of kidney neoplasms. Incidences
of testicular adenoma were also increased. In female rats,
male mice and female mice there was some evidence of
carcinogenicity, based on kidney adenoma, lung neoplasms and
liver neoplasms, respectively. The International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified ethylbenzene in
Category 2B, sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in
animals.
Information on: isobutanol
Chronic overexposure to isobutanol has been associated with
anorexia and weight loss in humans. Following repeated doses
to 6400 ppm, mice exhibited slight liver and kidney injury.
Studies of limited size indicated that isobutanol was
carcinogenic to rats by the oral and subcutaneous routes.
Information on: 1,2,4 trimethylbenzene
In a subchronic toxicity study, male rats were gavaged with
either 0.5 or 2.0 g/kg 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene once daily, for
5 days/week for four weeks. Mortality occured in 1 rat from
the low dose group; all rats died in the high dose group
during the study.
Information on: xylene
The chronic effects of overexposure to xylene include possible
liver and kidney damage. A mixture of o, m, and p-xylenes was
teratogenic and embryo toxic to mice by the oral route;
however, these effects were accompanied by maternal toxicity.
Rats exposed to 1000 mg/m3 by inhalation exhibited no
teratogenic effects; however, minor skeletal abnormalities
occurred.

Contact the local poison control center or call BASF Emergency
Response at 1-800-832-HELP (4357).
If inhaled:
Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air.
If breathing difficulties develop, aid in breathing and seek
immediate medical attention.

Wash affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes.
If irritation develops, seek medical attention.
If in eyes:
Flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.
Hold eyelids open to facilitate rinsing.
