STATEMENTS OF HAZARD:

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE:

The estimated acute oral (rat) LD50, acute dermal (rabbit) LD50 and 4-hour inhalation (rat) LC50 values for this

material are 1590 mg/kg, 1097 mg/kg and 7.2 mg/l mg/l, respectively. Direct contact with this material may cause

_____________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Ingestion:

If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Only induce vomiting at the instruction of a physician. Never give anything by

mouth to an unconscious person.

Skin Contact:

Remove contaminated clothing and shoes without delay. Wash immediately with plenty of water. Do not reuse

contaminated clothing without laundering. Get medical attention if pain or irritation persists after washing or if signs and

symptoms of overexposure appear.

Eye Contact:

Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical advice if there are persistent symptoms.

Inhalation:

Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Obtain medical advice if there are persistent symptoms.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable Extinguishing Media:

Water stream may be ineffective. Use water spray, alcohol foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical to extinguish fires.

Protective Equipment:

Firefighters, and others exposed, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full firefighting protective clothing. See

MSDS Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection).

Special Hazards:

Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions:

Where exposure level is not known, wear approved, positive pressure, self-contained respirator. Where exposure level is

known, wear approved respirator suitable for level of exposure. In addition to the protective clothing/equipment in Section

8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection), wear impermeable boots.

Methods For Cleaning Up:

Flush spill area with water. Cover spills with some inert absorbent material; sweep up and place in a waste disposal

container.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING

Precautionary Measures: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor. Keep away from heat and

flame. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep container closed. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Special Handling Statements: Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation if necessary). During

processing and handling of the product, comply with the indicative occupational exposure limit values.

STORAGE

Areas containing this material should have fire safe practices and electrical equipment in accordance with applicable

regulations and/or guidelines. Standards are primarily based on the material`s flashpoint, but may also take into account

properties such as miscibility with water or toxicity. All local and national regulations should be followed.

In the Americas, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 30: Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, is a widely

used standard. NFPA 30 establishes storage conditions for the following classes of materials: Class I Flammable Liquids,

Flashpoint <37.8 °C. Class II Combustible Liquids, 37.8 °C < Flashpoint <60 °C. Class IIIa Combustible Liquids, 60 °C <

Flashpoint < 93 °C. Class IIIb Combustible Liquids, Flashpoint > 93 °C. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place and

keep container tightly closed. Keep away from sources of ignition - refrain from smoking. Take precautionary measures

against electrostatic loading - earthing necessary during loading operations. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with

air.

Storage Temperature: Store at 0 - 25 °C 32 - 77 °F

Reason: Quality.

_____________________________________________________________________________

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering Measures:

Where this material is not used in a closed system, good enclosure and local exhaust ventilation should be provided to

control exposure.

Respiratory Protection:

Where exposures are below the established exposure limit, no respiratory protection is required. Where exposures

exceed the established exposure limit, use respiratory protection recommended for the material and level of exposure.

Eye Protection:

Wear eye/face protection such as chemical splash proof goggles or face shield.

Skin Protection:

Avoid skin contact. Wear impermeable gloves and suitable protective clothing. Since this product is absorbed through the

skin, care must be taken to prevent skin contact and contamination of clothing.

Additional Advice:

Food, beverages, and tobacco products should not be carried, stored, or consumed where this material is in use. Before

eating, drinking, or smoking, wash face and hands thoroughly with soap and water.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Toxicological information for the product is found under Section 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION.

Toxicological information on the regulated components of this product is as follows:

_____________________________________________________________________________

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

This material is not classified as dangerous for the environment.

The ecological assessment for this material is based on an evaluation of its components.

Print Date: 10/16/2009

1-Methoxy-2-propanol has acute oral (rat) and acute dermal (rabbit) LD50 values of 3,739 mg/kg and 13 g/kg,

respectively. The acute 6-hour inhalation LC50 (rat) value is >7000 ppm (31.59 mg/L/4hr). Direct contact with 1-

Methoxy-2-Propanol can cause mild skin and eye irritation. Exposure of 1-methoxy-2-propanol to animals via oral,

dermal and inhalation routes have caused central nervous system effects. Inhalation overexposure has also been shown

to cause minor effects on the liver, kidneys and lungs, and irritation to the eyes, and has been shown to cause fetotoxic

effects. Repeat dermal exposure studies with 1-methoxy-2-propanol had shown evidence of kidney damage in fatally

poisoned animals.

2-Butoxyethanol has acute oral (rat) and dermal (rabbit) LD50 values of between 470 and 3000 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg,

respectively. The 4-hour inhalation LC50 (rat) value for 2-Butoxyethanol is 450 ppm (2.17 mg/L). Acute overexposure to

2-butoxyethanol vapor may cause eye and respiratory irritation. Direct contact to 2-butoxyethanol can cause moderate

eye and skin irritation. Repeated overexposure to vapors may cause CNS effects and changes in blood parameters.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

The information on RCRA waste classification and disposal methodology provided below applies only to the product, as

supplied. If the material has been altered or contaminated, or it has exceeded its recommended shelf life, the guidance

may be inapplicable. Hazardous waste classification under federal regulations (40 CFR Part 261 et seq) is dependent

upon whether a material is a RCRA `listed hazardous waste`or has any of the four RCRA `hazardous waste

characteristics.`Refer to 40 CFR Part 261.33 to determine if a given material to be disposed of is a RCRA `listed

hazardous waste`; information contained in Section 15 of this MSDS is not intended to indicate if the product is a `listed

hazardous waste.`RCRA Hazardous Waste Characteristics: There are four characteristics defined in 40 CFR Section

261.21-61.24: Ignitability, Corrosivity, Reactivity, and Toxicity. To determine Ignitability, see Section 9 of this MSDS

(flash point). For Corrosivity, see Sections 9 and 14 (pH and DOT corrosivity). For Reactivity, see Section 10

(incompatible materials). For Toxicity, see Section 2 (composition). Federal regulations are subject to change. State and

local requirements, which may differ from or be more stringent than the federal regulations, may also apply to the

classification of the material if it is to be disposed. The Company encourages the recycle, recovery and reuse of

materials, where permitted, as an alternate to disposal as a waste. The Company recommends that organic materials

classified as RCRA hazardous wastes be disposed of by thermal treatment or incineration at EPA approved facilities.

The Company has provided the foregoing for information only; the person generating the waste is responsible for

determining the waste classification and disposal method.
