Principle Routes of Exposure

Skin Contact: Yes, through cuts or open sores. Skin Adsorption: Yes Eye Contact: Yes. May cause eye irritation Ingestion: No Inhalation: Yes. May cause respiratory irritation Emergency Overview: These wipes are designed for cleansing and disinfecting purposes. Use as directed is recommended to minimize any adverse health effects described in this SDS. Keep the towelette away from eyes so that eye irritation will not occur. Do not inhale vapours. Effects of Short-Term (Acute) Exposure: Inhalation: Ethanol readily forms high vapour concentrations. Harmful effects are unlikely to occur since it provides good warning of exposure. Vapours are irritating to the nose and throat well above the odour threshold and well below exposures expected to cause the effects typically associated with alcohol ingestion. Skin Contact: Ethanol is either not irritating or only mildly irritating to the skin. Stinging may occur if in contact with sores or cuts. Eye Contact: Direct contact with the wipe is expected to produce moderate to severe irritation. Eye exposure to high vapour concentrations may produce only mild irritation. Ingestion: Ingestion of sanitizer wipes is extremely unlikely. If a small quantity of sanitizer wipes is accidentally ingested, nausea and vomiting may occur. Effects of Long-Term (Chronic) Exposure: In some cases, prolonged or continued use of the wipes may cause an irritation of the skin. If an irritation or rash occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Persons with predisposed skin problems may experience rashes and more severe reaction to contact.
