Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling. nonylphenol polyethylene glycol ether: IARC, NTP, OSHA, ACGIH: Not listed. ethylene oxide: ACGIH = A2; IARC = 1; NTP = known; OSHA = +. Absorbed through skin. Eye contact. See Toxicological Information (section 11) Section 3. Composition/ Information on Ingredients Name CAS # % by Weight nonylphenol polyethylene glycol ether ethylene oxide <0.001 Section 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 30 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention. Skin Contact Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Cold water may be used. Inhalation Ingestion Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Repeated or prolonged exposure is not known to aggravate medical condition.

Fire Fighting Measures Flammability of the Product Flash Points Products of Combustion Fire Fighting Media and Instructions Protective Clothing (Fire) May be combustible at high temperature. Closed cup: >93 C (199.4 F). (PenskyMartens.) These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2). SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Section 6. Accidental Release Measures Small Spill and Leak Large Spill and Leak Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. If the product is in its solid form: Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. If the product is in its liquid form: Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Section 7. Handling and Storage Handling Storage Other Special Considerations Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, wellventilated area. ethylene oxide: This product contains trace amounts of ethylene oxide, a condition which creates the potential for accumulation of ethylene oxide in the headspace of shipping and storage containers and in enclosed areas where the product is being handled or used. If this product is handled according to the recommendations in the MSDS, the presence of these trace amounts of ethylene oxide is not expected to result in any short term or long term hazard. Section 8. Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection Engineering Controls Personal Protection Eyes Body Respiratory Hands Feet Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. Splash goggles. Lab coat. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Gloves. Not applicable. Protective Clothing (Pictograms) Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill Splash goggles. Full suit. Respirator. Boots. Gloves. A selfcontained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product. Ingredient Name Exposure Limits United States Exposure Limits Canada

Section 12. Ecological Information Ecotoxicity Ingredient Name or Product name Species Period Result ethylene oxide Pimephales promelas (LC50) 96 hour(s) 84 mg/l Biodegradability and Ecotoxicity Remarks LC50 values for alkylphenol ethoxylates range from approximately 1 to 15 mg/l for 1 to 10 mole ethylene oxide adducts and increase as the number of ethylene oxide units increase. As the moles of ethylene oxide increase beyond 10 moles, the LC50 values rise more quickly. The LC50 for the 30 mole ethylene oxide adduct of nonylphenol is greater than 1,000 mg/l. Products of Degradation Waste Information These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2). Section 13. Disposal Considerations Section 14. Transport Information Waste must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local environmental control regulations. Consult your local or regional authorities.
