Specific Hazards from Chemical: Hazardous decomposition: Oxides of Carbon Do not breathe mist / vapors / spray.

Special Protective Equipment: None.

Other Information: No data available

Personal Precautions: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTIONS).

Methods and Materials for cleanup: Do not allow spills to enter drains or waterways. Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet. Promptly remove soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse.

• For Spills: Neutralize residue with dilute acid. Flush spill with water.

Handling: Avoid storing next to strong acids. If product is added too rapidly, or without stirring it may become concentrated at the bottom of mixing vessel; excessive heat may be generated, resulting in dangerous boiling and splattering, and a possibly an immediate and violent reaction.

Storage: Wear protective clothing when handling. Store in a cool place away from acids. Incompatible materials: Incompatible with acids.

OSHA permissible exposure limit:

COMPONENT INFORMATION:

• Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether:

• OSHA: TWA 50 ppm (240 mg/m3) [skin]

• ACGIH: TWA: 20 ppm ‐ Revised 2003

• NIOSH: TWA 5 ppm (24 mg/m3) [skin]

Sodium hydroxide:

• OSHA:TWA 2 mg/m3

• ACGIH: Ceiling: 2 mg/m3

• NIOSH: C 2 mg/m3

No other established limits.

Appropriate Engineering Controls: Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and any vapor below occupational exposure limits suitable respiratory protection must be worn.

• Individual Protection Measures:
  Respiratory Protection: A local exhaust system is recommended if used inside.

• Eyes Protection: Wear safety glasses or goggles. Eye wash fountains in work area are recommended.

• Skin Protection: Employees should wear an impervious apron or impervious clothing to protect from splashes. Wear rubber gloves

• Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet. Promptly remove soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse.
