CONTAINS 2-BUTOXYETHANOL WHICH MAY CAUSE RED BLOOD CELL DAMAGE BASED ON ANIMAL DATA, PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY DRY SKIN AND CAUSE IRRITATION. MELT PROCESSING RELEASES VAPORS WHICH MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. MAY FORM EXPLOSIVE DUST-AIR MIXTURES. IMPROPER TRANSFER MAY CAUSE ELECTROSTATIC SPARK. Potential Health Effects. Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to this material. EGBE, a ‘component of this material, is considered to be slightly to moderately toxic if swallowed, moderately toxic if absorbed through skin, slightly toxic if inhaled, moderately to severely irtating to eyes and slight irritating to skin. High vapor concentrations are iritating to the eyes and respiratory tract, and may result in central nervous system (CNS) effects such as headache, dizziness, nausea, drowsiness and, in severe exposures, loss of consciousness and death. Prolonged or repeated contact removes oils from the skin and may dry skin and cause irritation, redness and rash. If swallowed, this material may cause digestive tract irritation and CNS effects as noted above. Studies with laboratory animals also indicate that large dosages of EGBE may cause red blood cell damage (hemolysis) jage 1 of7 Revisigg: 9 _Issued:May 5, 2005 Gare ‘SARTOMER Dp TOTAL Aes Comet‘SMA (R) 1440 FLAKE OR POWDER Material Safety Data Sheet Sartomer Company, Inc. 4 FIRST AID MEASURES IN CASE OF CONTACT, flush the area with plenty of water.

Styrene maleic anhydride resin, cumene ‘end-capped, 2-butoxyethyl ester, ammonium salt Single exposure (acute) studies indicate that this material is practically non-toxic if swallowed (rat LD50 >20 m/kg) or absorbed through skin (rabbit LD50 >9.4 mikg), ‘slightly irtating to rabbit eyes and practically nonirrtating to rabbit skin (4-hr exposure, 0.5/8.0). No skin allergy was observed in guinea pigs following repeated exposure. No local or systemic effects were reported in rabbits following repeated skin application. Repeated dietary administration was without adverse effect in rat. No birth defects were reported in the offspring of rats exposed during pregnancy. 2-Butoxy ethanol Single exposure (acute) studies indicate that this material is slightly to moderately toxic to rats if swallowed (L050 450-2,700 mg/kg), moderately toxic to rabbits if absorbed through skin (LD50 404-1,804 mg/kg), slightly toxic to rats if inhaled (4-hr LC50 2.18 - >3.87 mgll), moderately to severely irritating to rabbit eyes, and mildly imritating to rabbit skin, Oral administration ofthis material to rats did not cause immunosuppression. Rats given this material orally (222 mg/kg/day or above) for 6 weeks showed red blood cell changes which resulted in spleen, liver and kidney effects including increased spleen and liver weight. This material given orally for a longer period (13 weeks) also exhibited effects on blood (anemia), liver and spleen, as well as reduced body ‘weight gain and reduced thymus weight at dosages of 280 mg/kg/day or above. Reduced weight gain was the only effect observed in a 13-week drinking study with mice at much higher dosages. When rats were exposed to this material by inhalation in either long or short-term studies, decreased weight gain and blood effects were reported. A short-term repeated skin application study (9 applications of 360 mg/kg), reported skin damage ‘and biood in the urine of rabbits. However, no adverse effects were reported in rabbits exposed to this material by long-term (13-week) repeated and prolonged skin applications (up to 150 mg/kg/day). No birth defects were ‘observed in rats, rabbits or mice exposed to this material by inhalation (rats and rabbits), oral (rats and mice) ‘or dermal (rats) routes, even at levels which produced toxic effects on the mothers and their offspring. This, material has generally produced no genetic changes in a variety of standard tests using bacterial or animal cells. 12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Ecotoxicological information Data on this material and/or its components are summarized below. 2-Butoxy ethanol This material is practically non-toxic to goldfish (24-hr LCSO 1,700 mgf), brown shrimp (48-hr 800 mg/l), Daphnia magna (48-hr LC50 835 mg), bluegill sunfish (96-hr LC5O 127-1,460 mg/}), fathead minnow (96-hr C50 2,137 mgf), tidewater silversides (96-hr LC5O 1,250 mg) and green algae (7-day ECS0 >1,000 mg/l).
