2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATIONEMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Brown liquid. Causes severe eye, skin and respiratory irritation. Harmful if swallowed,

inhaled or absorbed through the skin.

EYE CONTACT: Causes severe irritation, experienced as discomfort or pain, excess blinking and tearproduction, marked excess redness and swelling of the conjunctiva and chemical burns of theeye.

SKIN CONTACT: Brief contact with skin may cause slight irritation with itching and local redness. Prolongedcontact may cause more severe irritation, with discomfort or pain, local redness and swelling,and possible tissue destruction.

INHALATION: May cause irritation of the respiratory tract, experienced as nasal discomfort and discharge,coughing, and possibly accompanied by chest pain. Prolonged overexposure may cause injuryto the respiratory tract.

INGESTION: Moderately toxic. Aspiration into the lungs may occur during ingestion or vomiting, resultingin lung injury. Abdominal discomfort, nausea and vomiting may occur.

4. FIRST AID MEASURESEYES:Immediately flush eyes with water and continue washing for at least 15 minutes. DO NOT remove contact lenses, if worn. Obtainmedical attention without delay, preferably from an ophthalmologist.SKIN:Immediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Obtainmedical attention without delay. Wash clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated leather articles such as shoes and belt.INHALATION:Remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. If breathing is difficult, oxygen may be given by qualified personnel.Obtain medical attention.INGESTION:If patient is conscious, give two glasses of milk or water at once. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Obtain medical attention withoutdelay.MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED:Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis.NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:Due to the irritating nature of the material, any aspiration during vomiting could result in severe lung injury. Therefore, emesis shouldnot be induced mechanically or pharmacologically. However, the acute peroral systemic toxicity of the material indicates thatevacuation of the stomach contents should be undertaken at the earliest possible time by means carrying the least likelihood ofaspiration (e.g. the use of gastric lavage with endotracheal intubation).

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURESFLASH POINT (° F) 230, PMCCOSHA FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION:Combustible Liquid-Class III BEXTINGUISHING MEDIA:Apply alcohol-type or all-purpose-type foam by manufacturer's recommended techniques for large fires.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGEHANDLING:Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Avoid breathing vapor. Do not swallow. Use only with adequate ventilation. Washthoroughly after handling. Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors or mists from process equipment operating at elevatedtemperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions without the presence of obviousignition sources. Any use of this product in elevated-temperature processes should be thoroughly evaluated to establish and maintainsafe operating conditions.STORAGE:Store in a cool, dry location away from incompatible materials.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTIONENGINEERING CONTROLS:Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV'(s).RESPIRATORY PROTECTION EQUIPMENT:Use self-contained breathing apparatus in high vapor concentrations.PROTECTIVE GLOVES:PVC-coated.EYE AND FACE PROTECTION:Monogoggles.OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:Chemical apron, eye bath and safety shower.VENTILATION:General (mechanical) room ventilation is expected to be satisfactory where this product is stored and handled in closed equipment.Special, local ventilation is needed at points where vapors can be expected to escape to the workplace air.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITYSTABILITY:Stable.HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:Will not occur.HAZARDOUS THERMAL DECOMPOSITION/COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:Burning can produce the following products: carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide. Cerium oxide.INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID):Caustic soda, lime, strong alkalies, oxidizing agents such as nitric acid, peroxides, amines, sulfuric acid, perchloric acid, or chromiumtrioxide.CONDITIONS TO AVOID:Avoid excess heat and incompatibilities.


11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATIONTOXICITY DATA:In a developmental toxicity study conducted under TSCA test rule, 2-ethylhexoic acid produced evidence of embryofetal toxicitywhen administered by stomach tube to laboratory animals during pregnancy. However, no statistically significant increase inmalformations was observed in offspring, even at maternally toxic doses.In recent Finnish studies, administration of 2-ethylhexoic acid in drinking water slightly retarded fetal development at dosagesapproaching 600 mg/kg/day during the critical phases of gestation. In addition, high dosages of 2-ethylhexoic acid administered bystomach tube may have inhibited embryo implantation, thereby causing embryo lethality.An increase in liver weight was observed in subchronic laboratory animal feeding studies.ACUTE ORAL LD50: No data at this time.ACUTE DERMAL LD50: No data at this time.ACUTE INHALATION LC50: No data at this time.
