Potential Health Effects

Eye Contact: May cause severe eye irritation. May cause corneal injury. Vapor of amines may cause 

swelling of the cornea resulting in visual disturbances such as blurred or hazy vision. Bright lights may 

appear to be surrounded by halos. Effects may be delayed and typically disappear spontaneously. 

Skin Contact: Repeated contact may cause skin irritation with local redness. 

Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. 

Inhalation: Prolonged excessive exposure may cause adverse effects. In confined or poorly 

ventilated areas, vapor can easily accumulate and can cause unconsciousness and death due to 

displacement of oxygen. May cause respiratory irritation and central nervous system depression. 

Symptoms may include headache, dizziness and drowsiness, progressing to incoordination and 

unconsciousness. Symptoms of excessive exposure may be anesthetic or narcotic effects; dizziness 

and drowsiness may be observed. Excessive exposure may increase sensitivity to epinephrine and 

increase myocardial irritability (irregular heartbeats). 

Ingestion: Low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal 

handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause 

injury. 

Effects of Repeated Exposure: Contains a component which is reported to be a weak 

organophosphate-type cholinesterase inhibitor. Excessive exposure may produce organophosphate 

type cholinesterase inhibition. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be headache, 

dizziness, incoordination, muscle twitching, tremors, nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, sweating, 

pinpoint pupils, blurred vision, salivation, tearing, tightness in chest, excessive urination, convulsions. 

In laboratory animals, repeated vapor exposure to bis(dimethylaminoethyl)ether resulted in respiratory 

and eye effects at 10 ppm and above, and death at 47 ppm and above. Contains component(s) which 

have been reported to cause effects on the following organs in animals: Heart. Respiratory tract. 

Birth Defects/Developmental Effects: Contains component(s) which, in laboratory animals, have 

been toxic to the fetus only at doses toxic to the mother. 

Reproductive Effects: In animal studies on component(s), effects on reproduction were seen only at 

doses that produced significant toxicity to the parent animals.

4. First-aid measures 

Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with water; remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 

minutes, then continue flushing eyes for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention without delay, 

preferably from an ophthalmologist. Eye wash fountain should be located in immediate work area. 

Skin Contact: Wash skin with plenty of water. 

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth 

use rescuer protection (pocket mask, etc). If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by 

qualified personnel. Call a physician or transport to a medical facility. 

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

medical personnel. 

Notes to Physician: Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. Exposure may 

increase "myocardial irritability". Do not administer sympathomimetic drugs such as epinephrine 

unless absolutely necessary. Exposure to amine vapors may cause minor transient edema of the

corneal epithelium (glaucopsia) with blurred vision, blue haze and halos around bright objects. Effects 

disappear in a few hours and temporarily reduce ability to drive vehicles. Cholinesterase inhibition has 

been noted in human exposure but is not of benefit in determining exposure and is not correlated with 

signs of exposure. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the 

clinical condition of the patient. 

Emergency Personnel Protection: First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and 

use the recommended protective clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection). If potential for 

exposure exists refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective equipment. 

5. Fire Fighting Measures 

Extinguishing Media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire 

extinguishers. Foam. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC 

type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, 

but will be less effective. 

Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Use water 

spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has 

passed. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose 

holders or monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound 

from venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Do not use direct water stream. May 

spread fire. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be 

moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage. Contain fire water 

run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if not contained, may cause environmental damage. Review the 

"Accidental Release Measures" and the "Ecological Information" sections of this (M)SDS. 

Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing 

apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, 

boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely, 

change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus. If this is 

not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight fire 

from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer to 

the relevant sections. 

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation. 

Blowing agent vaporizes quickly at room temperature. Violent steam generation or eruption may occur 

upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids. 

Hazardous Combustion Products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition 

to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion 

products may include and are not limited to: Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide. Hydrogen halides. 

6. Accidental Release Measures 

Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Contain spilled material if possible. Absorb 

with materials such as: Dirt. Sand. Sawdust. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. 

Wash the spill site with water. See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for additional information. 

Personal Precautions: Isolate area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the 

area. Spilled material may cause a slipping hazard. Refer to Section 7, Handling, for additional 

precautionary measures. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to 

Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection. 

Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or 

groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information.

ACGIH TWA 0.05 ppm SKIN 

ACGIH STEL 0.15 ppm SKIN 

A "skin" notation following the inhalation exposure guideline refers to the potential for dermal 

absorption of the material including mucous membranes and the eyes either by contact with vapors or 

by direct skin contact. 

It is intended to alert the reader that inhalation may not be the only route of exposure and that 

measures to minimize dermal exposures should be considered. 

Personal Protection

Eye/Face Protection: Use chemical goggles. Eye wash fountain should be located in immediate work 

area. If exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face respirator. 

Skin Protection: Wear clean, body-covering clothing. 

Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material when prolonged or 

frequently repeated contact could occur. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials 

include: Chlorinated polyethylene. Polyethylene. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). 

Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA"). Styrene/butadiene rubber. Viton. Examples of acceptable glove 

barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Natural rubber ("latex"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or 

"vinyl"). NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of 

use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but 

not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture 

protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as 

the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier. 

Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed 

the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements 

or guidelines, use an approved respirator. When respiratory protection is required, use an approved 

positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus or positive-pressure airline with auxiliary selfcontained air supply. For emergency conditions, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained 

breathing apparatus. In confined or poorly ventilated areas, use an approved self-contained breathing 

apparatus or positive pressure air line with auxiliary self-contained air supply.
