SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Appearance Clear,colorless liquid, slightly fruity odor.

Signal word

WARNING!

Physical hazards

Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire.

Health hazards

May be harmful if inhaled. May be harmful if swallowed. May irritate the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs), eyes, and skin. Contains material which may cause central nervous system damage. Contains a material which may cause skin sensitization.

Potential health effects

Inhalation (Breathing) High concentrations of vapor or mist may be harmful if inhaled. High concentrations of vapor or mist may irritate the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs). High concentrations of vapor or mist may cause nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, loss of coordination, numbness, and other central nervous system effects; and/or liver and kidney damage. Massive acute overexposure may cause rapid central nervous system depression, sudden collapse, coma, and/or death. Eyes May cause irritation with redness, tearing, pain and/or blurred vision. Skin This product may cause irritation, redness, and/ or drying. This product is not likely to be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. In rare instances, repeated skin contact with ethyl acetate may cause sensitization. Page 1 of 8 Revision: 09/13 Ingestion (Swallowing) May be harmful if swallowed. May cause throat irritation, nausea, vomiting, and central nervous system effects as noted under INHALATION (BREATHING). Aspiration hazard: breathing product into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause lung injury and possible death.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular, liver, kidney, respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs), central nervous system, eye, and/or skin disorders may have increased susceptibility to the effects of exposure. Chronic Prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause toxic effects as noted under INHALATION (BREATHING). Prolonged or repeated eye contact may cause inflammation of the membrane lining the eyelids and covering the eyeball (conjunctivitis). Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying, cracking, redness, itching, and/or swelling (dermatitis). In rare instances, repeated skin contact with ethyl acetate may cause sensitization. Prolonged or repeated exposure may have reproductive toxicity or mutagenic effects.
