Tergitol NP-4, Surfactant Page Number: 2 Section 3. Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects Potential Chronic Health Effects Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant). Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator), of ingestion, of inhalation. CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Repeated or prolonged exposure is not known to aggravate medical condition. Section 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Serious Skin Contact Inhalation Serious Inhalation Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 5 minutes. Cold water may be used. WARM water MUST be used. Get medical attention. In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention. Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical attention. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Ingestion Serious Ingestion 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. Section 5.

Tergitol NP-4, Surfactant Page Number: 3 Section 6. Accidental Release Measures Small Spill Large Spill Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. 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 Precautions Storage Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Wear suitable protective clothing. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls Personal Protection Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill Exposure Limits Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station location. Splash goggles. Lab coat. Gloves. Respiratory protection is not necessary for normal handling. Good room ventilation or use of local exhaust (fume hood) is sufficient. Use a vapor respirator under conditions where exposure to the substance is apparent (e.g. generation of high concentrations of mist or vapor, inadequate ventilation, development of respiratory tract irritation), and engineering controls are not feasible. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained 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.

Toxicological Information Routes of Entry Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans Other Toxic Effects on Humans Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans other Toxic Effects on Humans Absorbed through skin. Eye contact. Ingestion. Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 2000-5840 mg/kg [Rat]. Acute dermal toxicity (LD50): 2573 mg/kg [Rabbit]. Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant). Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator), of ingestion, of inhalation. LD50 [Rat] - Route: Oral; Dose: 4.29 ml/kg LD50[Rabbit] - Route: Skin; Dose: 2.52 ml/kg; 24 hr. occluded contact May contain trace amounts of,4-dioxane which can cause cancer. May cause adverse reproductive effects and birth defects based on animal studies. Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: Causes skin irritation. It may be absorbed through the skin. Eyes: Causes severe eye irritation and conjunctivitis. May cause corneal injury. Ingestion: Low toxicity. Ingestion may cause abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomitting, and diarrhea. Inhalation: Inhalation of mist may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract (nose, throat). Skin: Prolonged or widespread contact may result in absorption of potentially harmful amounts. Ingestion: Prolonged or repeated ingestion may affect the liver. Section 2. Ecological Information Ecotoxicity BOD5 and COD Products of Biodegradation Toxicity of the Products of Biodegradation the Products of Biodegradation Ecotoxicity in water (LC50) for this family of materials:.2-9.3 mg/l 96 hours [Fish (Fathead Minnow)]..6-0 mg/l 48 hours [Daphnia (daphnia magna)]. (information obtained from Dow) Possibly hazardous short term degradation products are not likely. However, long term degradation products may arise. The products of degradation are less toxic than the product itself.
