| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. The product causes severe irritation on human contact. May impair fertility. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Inhalation, ingestion, skin and eyes. |
| Eye Contact: | Both dust and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol vapor from hydrolyzed product cause severe eye irritation. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes severe irritation of the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Toluene, hexane, and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol vapor are irritating to the respiratory tract and cause headache, dizziness, and drowsiness. |
| Ingestion: | Toxic if swallowed. Ingestion may cause severe irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, headache, vomiting, and barium poisoning. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Severe irritant to skin and eyes. 2-ethyl-1-hexanol hydrolysis product causes severe eye irritation and drowsiness. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | May impair fertility. Chronic toluene poisoning may result in bone marrow or liver injury. Barium may for an adduct with protein in serum and deposit in bone. |
| NTP: | No |
| IARC: | No |
| OSHA: | No |
| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Aqueous sodium sulfate given orally is an effective antidote. |
