handling. 

General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and 

drainage systems and bodies of water.

Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling 

this material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by 

themselves, be sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating 

an electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, 

tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) 

and use appropriate mitigating procedures. For more information, refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 

1910.106, 'Flammable and Combustible Liquids', National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 77, 

'Recommended Practice on Static Electricity', and/or the American Petroleum Institute (API) 

Recommended Practice 2003, 'Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray 

Currents'.

Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty 

container or it may rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid, 

and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose 

such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. They may explode 

and cause injury or death. Empty containers should be completely drained, properly closed, and 

promptly returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of properly.

 

SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

 

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS: 

Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 3), applicable exposure limits, job activities, 

and other substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and selecting personal 

protective equipment. If engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent exposure to 

harmful levels of this material, the personal protective equipment listed below is recommended. The 

user should read and understand all instructions and limitations supplied with the equipment since

components. 

Skin Irritation: The skin irritation hazard is based on evaluation of data for similar materials or product 

components. 

Skin Sensitization: The skin sensitization hazard is based on evaluation of data for similar materials or 

product components. 

Acute Dermal Toxicity: The acute dermal toxicity hazard is based on evaluation of data for similar 

materials or product components.

Acute Oral Toxicity: The acute oral toxicity hazard is based on evaluation of data for similar materials 

or product components.

Acute Inhalation Toxicity: The acute inhalation toxicity hazard is based on evaluation of data for 

similar materials or product components.

 

ADDITIONAL TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION:

This product contains alkanolamine fatty acid ester.

SUBCHRONIC STUDIES: Rats and mice of both sexes were treated with this chemical in ethanol by 

dermal application at concentrations of 0 - 400 (rat) or 0 - 800 (mouse) mg/kg, 5 times a week for 14 

weeks. Survival was not affected by treatment. Histopathologic lesions at the site of application including 

chronic active inflammation and ulcer were seen in rats at doses above 100 mg/kg and in mice at 800 

mg/kg. In rats, decreased circulating cholesterol was seen at 100 mg/kg in females and 200 mg/kg in 

males. Triglycerides were decreased in males at 200 mg/kg. Also in female rats, renal tubule 

regeneration was significantly increased at all doses. The severity of effect increased with dose.

CHRONIC STUDIES: In National Toxicology Program (NTP) studies, rats and mice of both sexes 

received dermal applications of 0, 50, or 100 mg (rats) or 0, 100, or 200 mg/kg (mice) of this chemical 

condensate containing about 18% unreacted diethanolamine (DEA) in ethanol five times a week for 104 

weeks. NTP concluded there was no evidence in male rats and equivocal evidence of carcinogenicity in 

female rats based on a marginal increase in renal tubule neoplasms. NTP also concluded there was 

clear evidence of carcinogenicity in male mice based on increased hepatic and renal tubule neoplasms 

and in female mice based on increased hepatic neoplasms.

In a separate 2 year bioassay, DEA was shown to be carcinogenic to mice but not to rats. Findings were 

similar to those reported for this chemical. This suggests the carcinogenicity of this chemical is due to 

DEA. Mechanisms of DEA carcinogenicity are under investigation. DEA is not genotoxic but appears to 

interfer with normal phospholipid metabolism. Current hypotheses suggest the carcinogenicity of DEA is 

tied to this interference. Because phospholipid metabolism varies widely between species, the relevance 

of these findings to humans is not known.
