Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. Keep personnel removed and upwind of spill. Shut
Spill
off all ignition sources; no flares, smoking, or flames in hazardous area. Approach release from upwind.
Shut off leak if it can be done safely. Contain spilled material. Keep out of waterways. Dike large spills
and use non sparking or explosion proof means to transfer material to appropriately contain for disposal.
For small spills add absorbent (soil may be used in the absence of other suitable materials) scoop up
material and place in sealed, liquid-proof container. Waste must be disposed of in accordance with
federal, state and local environmental control regulations.

below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are
proximal to the work-station location. These techniques may not necessarily address all issues
pertaining to your operation. We, therefore, recommend that you consult with experts of your choice to
determine weather or not your programs are adequate.
Personal Protective Equipment recommendations are based on anticipated known manufacturing and

Chronic Toxicity Data

Not Available
2) Monoethanolamine
Monoethanolamine is a component of this product. Chronic occupational exposure reportedly was associated with chronic bronchitis,
liver, damage, weakness, and fatigue (Sidorov & Timofeevskaya, 1979; Paustovskaya et al, 1973). Occupational asthma has also been
reported with chronic exposure (Kaba, 1971). Rats chronically exposed to Monoethanolamine had degenerative changes in the liver,
heart, and lungs (Beyer et al, 1983). Rats exposed orally to 640 mg/kg/day or more had alterations in the kidney and liver weights; deaths
occurred at a dose of 1280 mg/kg/day (Knaak et al, 1997).
Monoethanolamine caused chromosome damage in C. capillaris (plant) seeds (Gukasyan et al, 1986). Substances which are strongly
alkaline can sometimes produce false-positive results in short-term genetic assays.
Monoethanolamine was tetratogenic and fetotoxic in rats when given by gavages at doses up to 500 mg/kg/day on days 6 to 15 of
gestation (Mankes, 1986). Dose-related maternal toxicity was present in the form of skin irritation or lesions and changes in maternal
body weight (Liberacki et al, 1996).
