9. PHYSICAL and CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The most significant
routes of occupational exposure are inhalation and contact with skin and eyes. The
symptoms of exposure to this product, via route of entry, are as follows:
Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors, mists or sprays from this product can cause irritation with
symptoms of coughing or sneezing.
Contact with Skin or Eyes: Vapors of this product can irritate the eyes. This product will cause
immediate pain and severe irritation if splashed into the eyes, causing redness and tearing.
Prolonged eye contact may cause corneal clouding or damage. Brief skin contact may be
moderately irritating. Prolonged or repeated skin exposure can cause dermatitis (dry red
skin).
Skin Absorption: No information is available on possible skin absorption of components. All
skin contact should be avoided.
Ingestion: Ingestion is not anticipated to be a significant route of exposure for this product. If
this product is swallowed, it may irritate the mouth, throat, esophagus and other tissues of the
digestive system. Symptoms of ingestion may include vomiting, diarrhea, and nausea.
Ingestion of large quantities of this product may be harmful or fatal.
Injection: Injection is not anticipated to be a significant route of exposure for this product.
Injection of this product (via puncture with a contaminated object) can cause pain and
irritation, in addition to the wound.
HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE: An Explanation in Lay Terms.
Acute: Exposure to this product can moderately to severely irritate contaminated eyes.
Inhalation, skin contact and ingestion may cause irritation. Ingestion may be harmful and
cause systemic effects.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin exposure can cause dermatitis (dry, red skin). Chronic
inhalation or ingestion exposure may result in adverse effects on the liver.
TARGET ORGANS: Acute: Respiratory system, skin, eyes. Chronic: Skin.
TOXICITY DATA: The specific toxicology data available for components present in
1% or greater concentration are as follows:
TRIMETHYL NONYL ETHOXYLATE:
Standard Draize Test (Eye-Rabbit) 100 mg: Severe
TRIMETHYL NONYL ETHOXYLATE (continued):
LD
50
(Oral-Rat) 7460 µL/kg
LD

(Skin-Rabbit) 8480 µL/kg
CARCINOGENIC POTENTIAL: The components of this product are not found on the following lists: U.S. EPA, U.S. NTP, U.S.
OSHA, U.S. NIOSH, GERMAN MAK, IARC, or ACGIH and therefore are neither considered to be nor suspected to be cancer-
causing agents by these agencies.
IRRITANCY OF PRODUCT: This product can be irritating to contaminated respiratory system, skin and eyes.
SENSITIZATION TO THE PRODUCT: No specific data are available for components related to human skin or respiratory
sensitization. However, the EU ECHA database has information that the Trimethyl Nonyl Ethoxylate compound is a potential skin
sensitizer. The CAESAR skin sensitization model in VEGA (Q)SAR platform predicts that this chemical is a Sensitizer (good
reliability).
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY INFORMATION: No specific information on human mutagenic, embryotoxic, teratogenic or
reproductive toxicity effects is available for this product.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ALL WORK PRACTICES MUST BE AIMED AT ELIMINATING ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
MOBILITY: This product has not been tested for mobility in soil, but is expected to be highly mobile.
PERSISTENCE AND BIODEGRADABILITY: This product has not been tested for persistence or biodegradability. For the
Trimethoxy Nonyl Ethoxylate component, the Danish QSAR database contains information indicating that this substance is predicted
as non-readily biodegradable and is suspected to be persistent in the environment.
BIO-ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL: This product has not been tested for bio-accumulation potential.
ECOTOXICITY: This product has not been tested for aquatic toxicity; all release to the environment should be avoided. The following
aquatic toxicity data are available for some components.
