SAFOL23E7 Ethoxylate

Remove to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Call a physician immediately.

Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.

If swallowed, call a poison control centre or doctor immediately. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Water spray. Foam. Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide (CO2).

Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray.

Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Remove all sources of ignition. Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13). Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

collect with non-combustible absorbent material and place in container for disposal

Materials: non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite)

Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Ambient pressure. Store under a dry inert gas blanket (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent oxygen or air from entering the tank. Use dry inert gas having at least -40°C (-40°F) dew point.

Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Trace amounts of ethylene oxide may be present in the product and could accumulate in vapor spaces of storage or transport vessels.

chemical gloves

Goggles. Face-shield.

Use respirator when performing operations involving potential exposure to vapour of the product. Use NIOSH approved respiratory protection.

Full protective clothing, chemical boots

No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.

Stable at normal ambient temperature and pressure.

None.

Reacts slowly with air or oxygen. Storage under heated conditions in the presence of air or oxygen increases reaction rate. For example, after storing at 95°F/35°C for 30 days in the presence of air, there is measurable oxidation of the ethoxylate. Lower temperatures will allow for longer storage time and higher temperatures will shorten the storage time if stored under an air or oxygen atmosphere.

Can react with strong oxidizers, inorganic acids, and halogens.

When storing this product in air or oxygen, decomposition may occur, generating vapors which could be irritating. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Oxidation is not expected when stored under a nitrogen atmosphere.

Dispose of only in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.

Any unused product or empty containers may be disposed of as non-hazardous in accordance with state and federal requirements. Re-evaluation of the product may be required by the user at the time of disposal, since the product uses, transformations, mixtures, contamination, and spillage may change the classification. If the resulting material is determined to be hazardous, please dispose in accordance with state and federal (40 CFR 262) hazardous waste regulations.
