1 Material Safety Data Sheet 1. CHEMICAL PRODUCT & COMPANY IDENTIFICATION Page: 1 24-Hour Emergency Phone Number: The Dow Chemical Company, Midland, MI Customer Information Center: COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Decyl(sulfophenoxy)benzenesulfonic acid, disodium salt, CAS# % Oxybis(decylbenzenesulfonic acid), disodium salt CAS# % Sodium sulfate CAS# % Max. Sodium chloride CAS# < 1% Water CAS# Balance 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW ************************************************************************ * Yellow to light brown liquid. Disinfectant odor. Causes eye burns.* * Toxic fumes are released in fire situations. * ************************************************************************ POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for toxicological data.) EYE: May cause moderate eye irritation which may be slow to heal. May cause moderate corneal injury. May cause permanent impairment of vision, even blindness. SKIN: Prolonged or repeated exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. May cause more severe response if skin is abraded (scratched or cut). A single prolonged skin exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low. (Continued on page 2, over)

2 M A T E R I A L S A F E T Y D A T A S H E E T PAGE: 2 Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; swallowing amounts larger than that may cause injury. INHALATION: Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract. SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: Repeated excessive exposures to high amounts may cause liver and kidney effects (based on similar material). CANCER INFORMATION: Did not cause cancer in long-term animal studies. (product similar to active ingredient) 4. FIRST AID EYE: Immediate and continuous irrigation with flowing water for at least 30 minutes is imperative. Prompt medical consultation is essential. SKIN: Wash off in flowing water or shower. INGESTION: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a physician. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: No specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES FLASH POINT: Flame extinguished; none to boiling. METHOD USED: Closed Cup; Open Cup. AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: > 550 C FLAMMABILITY LIMITS LFL: Not applicable UFL: Not applicable HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Hazardous combustion products may include and are not limited to sulfur oxides.

FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Hand held carbon dioxide, dry chemical or water extinguishers may be used for small fires. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTERS: Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, pants, boots, and gloves). 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (See Section 15 for Regulatory Information) PROTECT PEOPLE: Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to "Exposure Controls/Personal Protection", MSDS Section 8. PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT: Spills should be collected to prevent contamination of waterways. CLEANUP: For small spills absorb with material such as: sawdust, kob grit, Zorb-all(R). 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING: Refer to Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, Section 8, of the MSDS. STORAGE: Product may become a solid at temperatures below 32 deg. F (0 deg. C). 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels below the exposure guidelines. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Use chemical goggles. Eye wash fountain should be located in immediate work area. SKIN PROTECTION: Use gloves impervious to this material when prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur. If hands are cut or scratched, use gloves impervious to this material even for brief exposures. (Continued on page 4, over)

4 M A T E R I A L S A F E T Y D A T A S H E E T PAGE: 4 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline. When respiratory protection is required for certain operations, use an approved air-purifying respirator. EXPOSURE GUIDELINE(S): Sodium sulfate: Dow IHG is 10 mg/m3. Benzene, 1,1-oxybis,tetrapropylene derivatives, sulfonated, sodium salts: Dow IHG is 5 mg/m3. 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES APPEARANCE/PHYSICAL STATE: Yellow to light brown liquid (aqueous solution). ODOR: Disinfectant - type odor. VAPOR PRESSURE: C VAPOR DENSITY: Not available BOILING POINT: 100C, 212F SOLUBILITY IN WATER/MISCIBILITY: Completely miscible.
