CAUSES SKIN IRRITATION. CONTAINS MATERIAL WHICH CAN CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid inhalation of mists/vapours. Use with local exhaust ventilation. Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) organic vapour respirator. Wear NIOSH-certified chemical goggles. Wear full face shield if splashing hazard exists. Wear chemical resistant protective gloves. Wear protective clothing. Eye wash fountains and safety showers must be easily accessible. State of matter: liquid Colour: colourless to yellow Odour: faint odour Potential health effects Primary routes of exposure: Routes of entry for solids and liquids include eye and skin contact, ingestion and inhalation. Routes of entry for gases include inhalation and eye contact. Skin contact may be a route of entry for liquified gases. Acute toxicity: Of low toxicity after single ingestion. Virtually nontoxic after a single skin contact. Of moderate toxicity after short-term inhalation.

2 Revision date : 2012/12/03 Page: 2/9 Irritation / corrosion: Eye contact causes irritation. Skin contact causes irritation. EU-classification Causes temporary irritation of the respiratory tract. Assessment other acute effects: Causes temporary irritation of the respiratory tract. Sensitization: Caused skin sensitization in animal studies. Caused sensitization in humans. Chronic toxicity: Carcinogenicity: In the majority of the short term assays the substance caused no carcinogenic effects. Repeated dose toxicity: The substance may cause damage to the upper respiratory tract even after repeated inhalation, as shown in animal studies. Reproductive toxicity: The results of animal studies gave no indication of a fertility impairing effect. Teratogenicity: No indications of a developmental toxic / teratogenic effect were seen in animal studies. Genotoxicity: The substance was mutagenic in various test systems with microorganisms and cell cultures; however, these results could not be confirmed in tests with mammals. Mutagenic properties can not be excluded on the basis of experimental data. Medical conditions aggravated by overexposure: Data available do not indicate that there are medical conditions that are generally recognized as being aggravated by exposure to this substance/product. See MSDS section 11 - Toxicological information. Signs and symptoms of overexposure: The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2) and/or in section 11. Potential environmental effects Aquatic toxicity: There is a high probability that the product is not acutely harmful to aquatic organisms. The inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when introduced to biological treatment plants in appropriate low concentrations. 3. Composition / Information on Ingredients CAS Number Content (W/W) Chemical name >= <= 40.5 % glyoxal % Water <= PPM Formaldehyde <= 2.0 % ethylene glycol 4. First-Aid Measures General advice: Remove contaminated clothing. If inhaled: Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.

3 Revision date : 2012/12/03 Page: 3/9 If on skin: Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. If irritation develops, seek medical attention. If in eyes: In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately for at least 15 minutes with plenty of water. Seek medical attention. If swallowed: Rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water. Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth if the victim is unconscious or having convulsions. Immediate medical attention required. Note to physician Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote. 5. Fire-Fighting Measures Flash point: Non-flammable. Autoignition: approx. 285 C (DIN 51794) Lower explosion limit: No data available. Upper explosion limit: No data available. Self-ignition temperature: Based on its structural properties the product is not classified as self-igniting. Suitable extinguishing media: water spray, foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide Hazards during fire-fighting: No particular hazards known. Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus and turn-out gear. Further information: Collect contaminated extinguishing water separately, do not allow to reach sewage or effluent systems. Impact Sensitivity: Remarks: Based on the chemical structure there is no shock-sensitivity. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions: Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Environmental precautions: Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater. Cleanup: For large amounts: Pump off product. For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder, kieselguhr). Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations. Spills should be contained, solidified, and placed in suitable containers for disposal. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.

Other Information NFPA Hazard codes: Health : 2 Fire: 0 Reactivity: 0 Special: HMIS III rating Health: 2 Flammability: 0 Physical hazard: 0 NFPA and HMIS use a numbering scale ranging from 0 to 4 to indicate the degree of hazard. A value of zero means that the substance possesses essentially no hazard; a rating of four indicates extreme danger. Although similar, the two rating systems are intended for different purposes, and use different criteria. The NFPA system was developed to provide an onthe-spot alert to the hazards of a material, and their severity, to emergency responders. The HMIS system was designed to communicate workplace hazard information to employees who handle hazardous chemicals. We support worldwide Responsible Care initiatives.
