2 Base, Alcohol Gel Page Number: Section 3. Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects Potential Chronic Health Effects Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, sensitizer). CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified A4 (Not classifiable for human or animal.) by ACGIH [Ethyl alcohol 00 Proof]. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast. [Ethyl alcohol 00 Proof].. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: The substance is toxic to kidneys, the nervous system, liver. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Section 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Serious Skin Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Cold water may be used. Inhalation Serious Inhalation 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. Fire and Explosion Data Flammability of the Product Auto-Ignition Temperature Flash Points Flammable Limits Products of Combustion May be combustible at high temperature. The lowest known value is CLOSED CUP: 110 C (30 F). OPEN CUP: C (50 F). (-Phenoxyethanol) The greatest known range is LOWER: 1.4% UPPER: 9% (-Phenoxyethanol) These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO), nitrogen oxides (NO, NO...). Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances Fire Fighting Media and Instructions Fire Hazards Explosion Hazards Flammable in presence of open flames and sparks, of heat. Non-explosive in presence of open flames and sparks, of shocks. SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet.

Accidental Release Measures Small Spill Large Spill Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. 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. Ground all equipment containing material. 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. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls Personal Protection 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. Safety glasses. Synthetic apron. Gloves (impervious). Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill Exposure Limits Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. 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. Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 160 mg/kg [Rat]. (-Phenoxyethanol). Acute dermal toxicity (LD50): 5000 mg/kg [Rabbit]. (-Phenoxyethanol). Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion. Non-hazardous in case of inhalation. For Ethyl alcohol: May affect genetic material (mutagenic) Causes adverse reproductive effects and birth defects (teratogenic), based on moderate to heavy consumption. May cause cancer based on animal data. Human: passes through the placenta, excreted in maternal milk. For Phenoxyethanol: May affect genetic material (mutagenic) Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: May cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals. Eyes: May cause mild eye irritation. Inhalation: Not likely to be an inhalation hazard under normal handling conditions. If product is heated, the inhalation of the mist or vapor that is generated may cause respiratory tract irritation. If a high concentration of mist or vapor is inhaled (after heating the product), it may cause anesthetic and central nervous system effects and affect behavior. Ingestion: This product contains Ethyl alcohol. Ingestion of Ethyl alcohol may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and alterations in gastric secretions. It may also affect the brain, behavior/central nervous system (central nervous system depression - amnesia, headache, muscular incoordination, excitation, mild euphoria, slurred speech, drowsiness, staggaring gait, fatigue, changes in mood/personality, excessive talking, dizziness, ataxia, somnolence, coma/narcosis, hallucinations, distorted perceptions, general anesthetic), peripherial nervous system (spastic paralysis), vision (diplopia). Moderately toxic and narcotic in high concentrations. May also affect metabolism, blood, liver, respiration (dyspnea), and endocrine system. May affect respiratory tract, cardiovascular(cardiac arrhythmias, hypotension), and urinary systems. This product contains Phenoxyethanol. Ingestion of Phenoxyethanol may affect Chronic Potential Health Effects: Skin: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause mild allergic dermatitis.
