etc). Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should
be administered by qualified personnel.
Page 2 of 18
Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20
minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. Suitable emergency safety
shower facility should be available in work area.
Eye contact: Wash immediately and continuously with flowing water for at least 30 minutes. Remove
contact lenses after the first 5 minutes and continue washing. Obtain prompt medical consultation,
preferably from an ophthalmologist. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be immediately
available.
Ingestion: Immediately call a poison control center or doctor. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do
so by a poison control center or doctor. Do not give any liquid to the person. Do not give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Aside from the information found
under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of immediate medical attention and
special treatment needed (below), any additional important symptoms and effects are described in
Section 11: Toxicology Information.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Notes to physician: Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. May cause
asthma-like (reactive airways) symptoms. Bronchodilators, expectorants, antitussives and
corticosteroids may be of help. Chemical eye burns may require extended irrigation. Obtain prompt
consultation, preferably from an ophthalmologist. Due to irritant properties, swallowing may result in
burns/ulceration of mouth, stomach and lower gastrointestinal tract with subsequent stricture.
Aspiration of vomitus may cause lung injury. Suggest endotracheal/esophageal control if lavage is
done. Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. If burn is present,
treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should
be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. Have the Safety Data
Sheet, and if available, the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or
doctor, or going for treatment. Repeated excessive exposure may aggravate preexisting lung disease.
Skin contact may aggravate preexisting dermatitis.
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon
dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam. Do not use direct water stream. Straight or direct water streams
may not be effective to extinguish fire. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General
purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less effective.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: No data available
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Hazardous combustion products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition
to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion
products may include and are not limited to: Nitrogen oxides. Hydrogen fluoride. Hydrogen chloride.
Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon
application of direct water stream to hot liquids. Flammable mixtures may exist within the vapor space
of containers at room temperature. Flammable concentrations of vapor can accumulate at
temperatures above flash point; see Section 9.
Advice for firefighters
Page 3 of 18
Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Consider
feasibility of a controlled burn to minimize environment damage. Foam fire extinguishing system is
preferred because uncontrolled water can spread possible contamination. Water may not be effective
in extinguishing fire. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is
out and danger of reignition has passed. Burning liquids may be extinguished by dilution with water.
Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Eliminate ignition sources. Move container from fire
area if this is possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect
personnel and minimize property damage. Contain fire water run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if
not contained, may cause environmental damage. Review the "Accidental Release Measures" and
the "Ecological Information" sections of this (M)SDS.
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing

apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers,
boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely,
change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus. If this is
not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight
fire from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer
to the relevant sections.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Evacuate area. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the area. Refer to section 7, Handling, for
additional precautionary measures. Only trained and properly protected personnel must be involved in
clean-up operations. Keep upwind of spill. Ventilate area of leak or spill. No smoking in area. Vapor
explosion hazard. Keep out of sewers. For large spills, warn public of downwind explosion hazard.
Check area with combustible gas detector before reentering area. Ground and bond all containers and
handling equipment. Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spill or released vapor to avoid fire
or explosion. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to Section 8,
Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.
Environmental precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or
groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information. Spills or discharge to natural waterways is likely
to kill aquatic organisms.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spilled material if possible.
Small spills: Absorb with materials such as: Clay. Dirt. Sand. Sweep up. Collect in suitable and
properly labeled containers. Large spills: Contact Dow AgroSciences for clean-up assistance.
Ground and bond all containers and handling equipment. Pump with explosion-proof equipment. If
available, use foam to smother or suppress. See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for additional
information.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling: Keep out of reach of children. Keep away from heat, sparks and
flame. No smoking, open flames or sources of ignition in handling and storage area. Electrically bond
and ground all containers and equipment before transfer or use of material. Do not swallow. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Keep container closed. Use with adequate ventilation. Containers, even those that have been
emptied, can contain vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld, or perform similar operations on or near
empty containers. Never use air pressure for transferring product. Use of non-sparking or explosion-
Page 4 of 18
proof equipment may be necessary, depending upon the type of operation. See Section 8,
EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION.
Conditions for safe storage: Minimize sources of ignition, such as static build-up, heat, spark or
flame. Keep container closed. Flammable mixtures may exist within the vapor space of containers at
room temperature. Store in a dry place. Store in original container. Keep container tightly closed
when not in use. Do not store near food, foodstuffs, drugs or potable water supplies.

BLENDING AND PACKAGING WORKERS. APPLICATORS AND HANDLERS SHOULD SEE THE
PRODUCT LABEL FOR PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHING.
Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Use engineering controls to maintain airborne level below exposure limit
requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, use
only with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
Individual protection measures

Eye/face protection: Use chemical goggles. Chemical goggles should be consistent with EN
166 or equivalent. If exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face respirator.
Skin protection
Hand protection: Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN374:
Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms. Examples of preferred
glove barrier materials include: Chlorinated polyethylene. Polyethylene. Ethyl vinyl
alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include:
Butyl rubber. Natural rubber ("latex"). Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or
"NBR"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Viton. When prolonged or frequently
repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher
(breakthrough time greater than 240 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended.
When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher
(breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended.
Glove thickness alone is not a good indicator of the level of protection a glove
provides against a chemical substance as this level of protection is also highly
Page 5 of 18
dependent on the specific composition of the material that the glove is fabricated from.
The thickness of the glove must, depending on model and type of material, generally
be more than 0.35 mm to offer sufficient protection for prolonged and frequent contact
with the substance. As an exception to this general rule it is known that multilayer
laminate gloves may offer prolonged protection at thicknesses less than 0.35 mm.
Other glove materials with a thickness of less than 0.35 mm may offer sufficient
protection when only brief contact is expected. NOTICE: The selection of a specific
glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take
into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals
which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity,
thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the
instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
Other protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material.
Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will
depend on the task.
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to
exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit
requirements or guidelines, use an approved respirator. Selection of air-purifying or positive-
pressure supplied-air will depend on the specific operation and the potential airborne
concentration of the material. For emergency conditions, use an approved positive-pressure
self-contained breathing apparatus. In confined or poorly ventilated areas, use an approved
self-contained breathing apparatus or positive pressure air line with auxiliary self-contained air
supply.
Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Organic vapor cartridge with a
particulate pre-filter, type AP2.

Liver.
Lung.
Although one early inhalation study on ethylbenzene reported an adverse effect on the testes, recent,
more comprehensive studies have not shown this effect.
Carcinogenicity
For the active ingredient(s): An increase in spontaneously occurring tumors observed in mice is of
questionable relevance. No increases in tumors were observed in rats. Xylene was not found to be
carcinogenic in a National Toxicology Program bioassay in rats and mice.
Ethylbenzene has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. There is no evidence that these
findings are relevant to humans.
Teratogenicity
For the active ingredient(s): For the minor component(s): Has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory
animals at doses toxic to the mother. Did not cause birth defects in laboratory animals. Exaggerated
doses of xylene given orally to pregnant mice resulted in an increase in cleft palate, a common
developmental abnormality in mice. In animal inhalation studies, xylene caused toxicity to the fetus
but did not cause birth defects.
For the minor component(s): Has caused birth defects in laboratory animals only at doses toxic to the
mother. Has been toxic to the fetus in lab animals at doses nontoxic to the mother.
Reproductive toxicity
For the active ingredient(s): In laboratory animal studies, effects on reproduction have been seen only
at doses that produced significant toxicity to the parent animals. For the minor component(s):
Cyclohexanone caused reduced growth and survival of offspring in an animal reproduction study.
Dose levels producing this effect also caused central nervous system effects in parental animals. In
animal studies, has been shown to interfere with reproduction in males. Effects have been seen only
at doses that produced significant toxicity to the parent animals.
Mutagenicity
For the active ingredient(s): For the major component(s): In vitro genetic toxicity studies were
negative. Animal genetic toxicity studies were negative. For the minor component(s): In vitro genetic
toxicity studies were negative in some cases and positive in other cases. Animal genetic toxicity
studies were inconclusive
