Section 3 - HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION

Potential Health Effects:
Prolonged or repeated exposure to Ethylene Glycol N-Butyl Ether may cause skin irritation which may be slow to heal. A single prolonged exposure may result in the material being absorbed in harmful amounts. Excessive exposure may cause hemolysis, thereby impairing the blood's ability to transport oxygen. Repeated minor exposure may result in absorption of harmful amounts. May cause moderate eye irritation which may be slow to heal. May cause moderate corneal injury. Effects may be slow to heal. Vapors of Ethylene Glycol N-Butyl Ether may irritate eyes. A single prolonged excessive inhalation exposure may cause adverse effects. Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract. Observations in animals include blood and kidney effects. Single dose oral toxicity of Ethylene Glycol N- Butyl Ether is considered to be moderate. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; swallowing amounts larger than that may cause injury. One case of Massive Ingestion (i.e. attempted suicide) reported blood (hemolysis) and kidney effects.

Skin contact with Detergent may cause skin sensitization upon extended contact. The compound may cause skin sensitization in susceptible individuals. Eye contact may cause eye irritation with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision. Inhalation may initially include irritation of the upper respiratory passages with coughing and discomfort. Individuals with preexisting diseases of the central nervous system may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures to Detergent.

Inhalation or ingestion of Heavy Aromatic Naphtha may cause central nervous system depression with anesthetic effects, such as dizziness, headache, confusion, incoordination and loss of consciousness. Higher exposures may result in fatality from gross overexposure. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation. Aspiration hazard! Small amounts aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause lung injury, possibly leading to death. Symptoms of aspiration into the lungs include coughing, gasping, choking, shortness of breath, bluish discolored skin, rapid breathing and heart rate. Chemical pneumonitis from aspiration may result in fever. Pulmonary edema or bleeding, drowsiness, confusion, coma and seizures may occur in more serious cases. Symptoms may develop immediately or as late as 24 hours after the exposure, depending on how much chemical entered the lungs.

Inhalation or ingestion of 2-Ethyl Hexyl Nitrate may initially include cause nonspecific discomfort, such as nausea, headache, or weakness. Exposed workers reported throbbing headaches and heart palpitations. Data to evaluate the skin permeation hazard of this compound are insufficient. There are no reports of human sensitization. No adequate epidemiologic studies are available for this compound.

Eye contact with the product ingredients may cause eye irritation with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision. Direct exposure may cause skin irritation (redness, swelling). A single prolonged exposure may result in the material being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.

In general, overexposure to high atmospheric concentrations of alkyl-substituted aromatics may produce central nervous system depression, headache, dizziness, incoordination, nausea and loss of appetite. Aspiration (liquid enters the lung), may cause lung damage due to chemical pneumonia, a condition caused by petroleum-like solvents.

Minute amounts of petroleum hydrocarbons aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury and possible death.

Individuals with preexisting diseases of the kidneys or liver may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures.


Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

INHALATION:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.

SKIN CONTACT:
Flush skin with water after contact. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

EYES:
In case of contact immediately, flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.

INGESTION:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Allow victim to rinse his mouth and then to drink 2-4 cupfuls of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.


Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash Point (Method Used): 158.0oC (PMCC)
Flammability Limits: None known

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Dry chemical, foam, halon, CO2, water spray (fog). Water stream may splash the burning liquid and spread fire.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Use water spray to cool drums exposed to fire.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Oil soaked rags can cause spontaneous combustion if not handled properly. Before disposal, wash rags with soap and water and dry in well ventilated area. Firefighters should use a self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid exposure to smoke and vapor.


Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES/SPILL CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES

Remove sources of ignition, contain spill to smallest area possible. Stop leak if possible. Pick up small spills with absorbent materials such as paper towels, Oil Dry, sand or dirt. Recover large spills for salvage or disposal. Wash hard surfaces with safety solvent or detergent to remove remaining oil film. Greasy nature will result in a slippery surface.


Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE

Store in closed containers between 50oF and 120oF. Keep away from oxidizing agents, excessive heat, and ignition sources. Store and use in well-ventilated areas. Do not store or use near heat, spark, or flame, store out of sun. Do not puncture, drag, or slide this container. Drum is not a pressure vessel; never use pressure to empty.


Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
If vapors or mists are generated, wear a NIOSH approved organic vapor/mist respirator.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
Safety glasses, goggles, or face shield are recommended to protect eyes from mists or splashing. PVC coated gloves are recommended to prevent skin contact.

OTHER PROTECTIVE MEASURES:
Employees must practice good personal hygiene, washing exposed areas of skin several times daily and laundering contaminated clothing before re-use.
