Section 3: Hazard Identification
Emergency overview

Appearance: Clear liquid.

Immediate effects: Causes eye irritation. May cause allergic skin reaction

Systemic (Other Target Organs) Effects: No relevant information found.

Potential health effects

Primary Routes of entry: Skin, eyes, ingestion and inhalation.
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure:
Eyes: May cause moderate irritation with corneal injury.

Skin: Short single exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. Prolonged exposure may cause skin irritation. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. May cause more severe response if confined to skin or skin is abraded (scratched or cut). May cause allergic skin reaction in susceptible individuals.

Ingestion: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to case injury; swallowing amounts larger than that may cause injury.

Inhalation: Elevated temperatures may generate vapor levels sufficient to cause respiratory irritation and other effects.

Chronic Exposure: Repeated exposure may cause skin burns.

Chemical Listed As Carcinogen Or Potential Carcinogen: ND

See Toxicological Information (Section11)

Potential environmental effects

See Ecological Information (Section 12)

Section 4: First Aid Measures
If accidental overexposure is suspected

Eye(s) Contact: Flush with flowing water immediately and continuously for 15 minutes. Consult medical personnel.

Skin Contact: Wash off in flowing water or shower.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a physician.

Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.

Note to physician

Treatment: If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. No specific antidote. Supportive care; treatment based on judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient.

Medical Conditions generally Aggravated by Exposure: ND

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: 320 °F Methods: PMCC, ASTM D-93
Flammable Limits: ND

Auto-ignition point: ND
Fire Extinguishing Media: Do not use direct water stream, it will spread fire. Water fog or fine spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred if available. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but much less effectively. Water fog, applied gently may be used as a blanket for fire extinguishments.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes firefighting helmet, coat, pants, boots, and gloves). If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected location or safe distance. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Dense smoke is emitted when burned without sufficient oxygen. Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquid.

Hazardous combustion products: Under fire conditions polymers decompose. The smoke may contain polymer fragments of varying compositions in addition to unidentified toxic and/or irritating compounds. Hazardous combustion products may include and are not limited to: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.

DOT Class: Not regulated when shipped domestically by land.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Contain material to prevent contamination of soil, surface water or ground water. Absorb with material such as sand. Collect material in suitable containers. Residual can be removed using steam or hot soapy water. Solvents are not recommended for cleanup unless the recommended exposure guidelines and safe handling practices for the specific solvent are followed. Consult appropriate solvent MSDS for handling information and exposure guidelines.
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of waste according to Federal, State and Local Regulations.

Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Storage temperature: ND

Storage Pressure: ND

Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls

Ventilation required: Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

Personal Protection Equipment

Respiratory protection: If respiratory irritation is experienced, use an approved air-purifying respirator.

Protective gloves: Use gloves impervious to this material even for brief exposures.
Skin protection: Protective clothing impervious to the material including boots. Apron or full-body suit will depend on operation.
Eye protection: Use chemical goggles with face shield.
Additional clothing and/or equipment: ND

Hazardous combustion products may include and are not limited to: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur by itself, but masses of more than 1 pound of product plus and aliphatic amine will cause irreversible polymerization with considerable heat buildup.

Section 11: Toxicological Information

Results of component toxicity test performed: (Skin, Rabbit): LD50 = >2000 mg/kg. (Ingestion, Rat): LD50 = >2000 mg/kg. Mutagenicity: In vitro mutagenicity tests have been positive.

Human experience: ND

This product does not contain any compounds listed by NTP or IARC or regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen.

Section 12: Ecological Information

Ecological Information: Material is slightly toxic to fish on an acute basis (LC50 between 10 and 100 mg/L). Material is slightly toxic to aquatic invertebrates on an acute basis (LC50 between 10 and 100 mg/L).

Chemical Fate Information: Based on the stringent test guidelines, the material cannot be considered as readily biodegradable; however, these results do not necessarily mean that the material is not biodegradable under environmental conditions. Biodegradation reached in CO2 Evolution Test (Modified Sturm Test, OECD Test No. 301B) after 28 day: 8-27%. Biodegradation reached in Modified Zahn-Wellens/EMPA Test (OEDC Test No. 302B) after 28 days: 7%.
