Emergency Overview: Dangerous for the environment. Very toxic to aquatic organisms Potential Health Effects: Eye: Accidental exposure to the eyes may produce a mild but transient irritation. Skin: Prolonged and repeated contact of product with skin can cause irritation. Inhalation: Under normal conditions, this product shows a very low vapor pressure. The risk of inhalation is therefore also very low. Ingestion: This product has a very low level of toxicity. If product is heated, vaporization can occur. Eye, skin, and upper respiratory irritation may occur.

2 Physical/Chemical Hazards: Not identified. Environmental Hazards: Very toxic to aquatic organisms Section 4 First Aid Measures Eye: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. Skin: Wash skin with soap and water upon contact. Remove contaminated clothing. If irritation persists, get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately. Ingestion: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Section 5 Fire And Explosion Data Extinguishing media: CO2, dry chemical, foam Unsuitable extinguishing media: Water or foam may cause frothing. Flash Point and method: Above 125º C Explosive limits in air: Upper: Not available Lower: Not available Automignition temperature: Not available Sensitivity to mechanical impact/static discharge: Not available Special Protective Equipment: Wear self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Other Fire Fighting Considerations: Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Exposure hazards: Toxic fumes of carbon oxides produced on combustion.

3 Section 6 Accidental Release Measures Personal Precautions: Wear protective clothing and equipment. An appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator should be used if a mist or vapor is generated. Environmental Precautions: Dike flow of spilled material using soil or sandbags to minimize contamination of drains, surface and ground waters. If LAB has flowed into drains, ponds or sewage systems, inform appropriate authority. Procedures for Spill/Leak Clean up: Ventilate area and eliminate all ignition sources. Contain spill. Absorb with inert material for destruction by incineration in a furnace Section 7 Handling And Storage Handling: Handle in accordance with good hygiene and safety procedures. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Since empty containers contain product residue, follow all hazard warnings and precautions even after container is emptied. Keep away from sources of ignition. Storage: Store in original closed containers in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. This product is non corrosive; it does not therefore call for special storage materials. Usual materials of construction are suitable for storage. Store separately from all combustible, organic and oxidizable materials. Specific use(s): Detergent intermediate follow bulk handling and storage procedures as noted above Section 8 Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection General Precautions: Good industrial hygiene should be followed. Avoid breathing (heated) vapors. Avoid eye and skin contact. Exposure Limit Values: Not established

4 Exposure Controls: Engineering Controls: Ventilation: Local exhaust: preferred Mechanical: may be necessary if working at elevated temperatures or in enclosed areas. Personal Protective Equipment: Eye: Goggles or face shield with goggles, dependent upon potential exposure Skin: Protective gloves: Neoprene. Dependent upon degree of potential exposure, additional personal protective equipment may be required, such as chemical boots and full protective clothing. Inhalation: Use an appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator for exposure to contaminated atmosphere. A NIOSH/MSHA approved self contained breathing apparatus or air supplied respirator is recommended if the concentration exceeds the capacity of cartridge respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen deficient atmospheres. Other Controls: Boots, eye wash fountain, safety shower, apron, protective clothing. Environmental Exposure Controls: Contact Procter and Gamble for specific Community information.
