REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM INFORMATION Contains a substance that is a possible reproductive hazard based on tests with laboratory animals. ADDITIONAL HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION Butyl acetate: Throat irritation has been noted in human subjects at 200ppm. MEDICAL CONDITIONS POTENTIALLY AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE Skin disease including eczema and sensitization, Liver disease, Kidney disease, Respiratory disease including asthma and bronchitis, Eye disease, No information found. ____________________________________________________________________ 4. 4. FIRST FIRST AID AID MEASURES MEASURES EYE CONTACT Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes retracting eyelids often. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT Wash skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. INHALATION Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, perform rescue breathing and, if available, have a trained person administer oxygen. Get medical attention immediately. Page 4. 4. FIRST FIRST AID AID MEASURES MEASURES (Cont.) (Cont.) INGESTION Emergency personnel should be contacted immediately and be provided with this MSDS. For ingestion of small quantities of chemicals, the risk associated with inducing vomiting usually exceeds the poisoning risk. Get medical attention immediately. Contact a poison information service. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. ____________________________________________________________________ 5. 5. FIRE FIRE FIGHTING FIGHTING MEASURES MEASURES FLAMMABILITY DATA FLASH POINT: 78 F, 25 C EXPLOSIVE/FLAMMABILITY LIMITS ESTIMATED FROM INGREDIENTS: LOWER LIMIT: 1.4 % UPPER LIMIT: 15.0 % AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE ESTIMATED FROM INGREDIENTS: 670 F, 354 C GENERAL HAZARDS Vapors may be ignited by heat, sparks, flames or other sources of ignition giving rise to a Class B fire. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Container may explode in heat of fire. Empty container may still contain residual material that can ignite and/or result in an explosion. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty container to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Small Fires: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. Large Fires: Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Move containers from fire area if it can be done without risk. Apply cooling water to containers that are exposed to flames until well after fire is out. FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS Do not enter fire area without proper protection including self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Fight fire from a safe distance and a protected location. Heat may build pressure and rupture closed containers, spreading fire and increasing risk of burns or injuries. Water may be ineffective in firefighting due to low flash point and limited miscibility with water. Flammable/combustible components of this material may be lighter than water and burn while floating on the surface. Use water spray/fog for cooling. Even if material is water soluble, it may not be practical to extinguish fire by water dilution. Notify authorities if liquid enters sewers or other public waters. HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS carbon dioxide; carbon monoxide Page 6. 6. ACCIDENTAL ACCIDENTAL RELEASE RELEASE MEASURES MEASURES SPILL CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES Shut off ignition sources; smoking, flames or other sources of ignition must not be permitted in the area. Small Spills: Take up with sand or other noncombustible absorbent material and put into properly labeled containers for disposal. Large Spills: Dike ahead of liquid spill area to minimize migration and vapor generation. Ventilate the area. Get professional help from outside contractors, the fire department or your trained spill brigade. HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS AND PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Information on the selection and use of personal protective equipment is found in Section 8 of this msds. Personal protective equipment needs must be evaluated based on information provided on this sheet and the special circumstances created by the spill including; material spilled, quantity, the area in which it occurred and the expertise of employees in the area responding to the spill. Never exceed any occupational exposure limits and consider that the evaporation of volatile solvents can lead to the displacement of air creating an environment that can cause asphxyiation. ____________________________________________________________________ 7. 7. HANDLING HANDLING AND AND STORAGE

Storage

HANDLING Avoid contact with material, avoid breathing vapors, use only in a well ventilated area, use bonding and grounding when transferring this material. Store in a cool dry ventilated location, away from oxidizers, heat, flame or other incompatible conditions. Keep container(s) closed if possible. ____________________________________________________________________ 8. 8. EXPOSURE EXPOSURE CONTROLS CONTROLS AND AND PERSONAL PERSONAL PROTECTION PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONTROLS Local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls may be needed when handling or using this product to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. These controls should be explosion-proof when exhausting flammable vapors. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION If air monitoring indicates airborne concentrations at or above the limits, or symptoms of inhalation over-exposure occur, a respiratory protection program may be required. Engineering controls to reduce the exposure below acceptable limits are usually preferable to a respirator program. EYE PROTECTION Chemically resistant safety glasses with side shields must be worn when handling this product. Further eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield must be worn when the possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or spraying liquid or airborne particles. Contact lenses should not be worn. An eye wash station should be available. SKIN PROTECTION Page 8. 8. EXPOSURE EXPOSURE CONTROLS CONTROLS AND AND PERSONAL PERSONAL PROTECTION PROTECTION (Cont.) (Cont.) Prevent skin contact by wearing gloves and other protective equipment. Inspect gloves for chemical break-through and replace if detected. Clean protective equipment thoroughly after each use. Do not remove from workplace. an emergency shower in the area is recommended. Appropriate gloves to be used for MARKEM products that are mixtures have not been determined. Glove type(s) for ingredients present at 10% or more (if known) are: Neoprene; Natural rubber; Nitrile ____________________________________________________________________ 9. 9.

ECOLOGICAL ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION INFORMATION Butyl acetate: LC50 Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow): 18 mg/l/96 hr , LC50 Lepomis macrochirus (Bluegill): 100 ppm/96 hr at 23 deg C. LC50 Menidia peninsulae (tidewater silverside): 185 ppm/96 hr If released to soil, n-butyl acetate may be susceptible to significant biodegradation based on its demonstrated biodegradability with a screening test. Chemical hydrolysis in moist alkaline soils (pH approaching 9 or higher) is expected to be important. Volatilization from dry soil surfaces is is likely to rapid. If released to water, biodegradation and volatilization are expected to be the important removal mechanisms. BOD studies using either a sewage inoculum or a natural river-water inoculum have demonstrated that n-butyl acetate is significantly biodegradable. If released to air, the dominant removal mechanism will be the vapor-phase reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals which has an estimated half-life of about 6 days in an average atmosphere. N-butyl alcohol: LC50 Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow) 1730 mg/l/96 hr. Release of n-butanol to soil will result in volatilization from the soil surface and biodegradation. n-Butanol should not bind strongly to soil and so is expected to leach into groundwater. Release of n-butanol to water is expected to result in biodegradation and in volatilization from the water surface. Vapor phase n-butanol in the atmosphere is expected to react with photochemically generated hydroxyl radicals with a half-life of 1.2 Page 12. 12.
