2 Tergitol NP-40, Surfactant Page Number: 2 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.

Non-flammable in presence of shocks. Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances Risks of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical impact: Risks of explosion of the product in presence of static discharge: Fire Fighting Media and Instructions Fire Hazards Explosion Hazards SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet. 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. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. 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. Do not store above 24 C (75.2 F).

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 Inhalation. Ingestion. Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 6000 mg/kg [Rat] mg/kg [Rat]. Hazardous in case of ingestion, of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant). LD50 [Rabbit] - Route: Skin; Dose: 4490 ml/kg 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: Brief contact may cause skin irritation. Eyes: May cause eye irritation with mild discomfort. Ingestion May cause gastrointestinal tract irritaiton with abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomitting, and diarrhea. Inhalation: Short-term harmful are not expected from vapor generated at ambient temperature. Chronic Potential Health Effects: Inhalation: Prolonged or repeated exposure to substantially saturated vapor may affect behavior (loss of coordination, prostration). Ingestion: Animal studies also indicate that continuous exposure to high concentrations may be toxic to the kidneys. May also affect liver and metabolism, and cardiovascular system. 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): 000 mg/l 48 hours [Cladoceran]. 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. Microbial degradation results in some intermediates that have shown weak estrogen memetic activity. These effects have been observed in labaoratory studies only at concentrations of these degradation intermediates greater than those required for eliciting conventional toxicity in the most sensitive aquatic organisms (approx. 5 ppm). Therefore conventional toxicity remains the more sensitive indicator of environmental exposure to degradation of intermediates of NPES. Section 3. Disposal Considerations Waste Disposal Waste must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local environmental control regulations. Section 4.
