Emergency overview: Appearance and Odor: Reddish brown color with oily type of aroma May react vigorously with strong acids and bases. Mildly irritating to respiratory tract and skin, minimally irritating to the eye, and by ingestion, considered practically non-toxic. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS Likely Routes of Exposure: skin contact and inhalation Eye contact: NC-513 was found to be minimally irritating in test animals. Skin contact: Mildly irritating. Can cause sensitization reactions in individuals allergic to the poison ivy family of plants (Rhus). Non-toxic dermally (LD50 > 2 g/kg). Inhalation: Vapors or fumes may irritate respiratory tract. May product allergic reactions among individuals highly sensitive to Rhus plants. Ingestion: Oral LD50 (rat): 5 g/kg. Considered practically non-toxic orally. Carcinogenicity: Lab tests found NC-513 a weak mutagen in the Ames test and mutagenic in the Mouse Lymphoma Cell test. Signs and symptoms of exposure: Skin irritation Medical conditions aggrivated by exposure: Pre-existing skin conditions Refer to Section 11 for toxicological information.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Eye contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water, call a physician. Skin contact: Wash affected area with soap and water. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Call a physician. Ingestion: Give two glasses of water. Immediately call physician or Poison Control Center.
Flash Point: 400° F (204° C) Method: Pensky - Martens CC Autoignition Temperature: Not known Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, foam, dry chemical, or C02 Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: None known Special fire fighting procedures: Not known
Contain spills with dikes and transfer the material to appropriate containers for reclamation or disposal. Absorb remaining material or small spills with an inert material and then place in a chemical waste container. Flush residual spill area with water. Make sure entire area is being ventilated while this is going on. Refer to Section 13 for disposal information and, Section 15 for reportable quantity information.
Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use. Avoid eye contact. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors/fumes. Use in a well ventilated area. Warning: This product contains detectable levels of epichlorohydrin known to cause cancer in laboratory animals.
Eye Protection: This product can cause irritation. Use good industrial hygeine practice to avoid eye contact. Therefore safety glasses but preferably goggles should be worn at all times when working with this material. Skin Protection: This product is mildly irritating to the skin, and therefore, skin protection would be used when working with this product. The use of rubber gloves is recommended. Wash hands and contaminated skin thoroughly after handling. Ventilation: Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to minimize exposure. If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as open process equipment. Airborne Exposure Limits: Not known
