| [Fire Fighting] Fire Extinguishing Agents Not to Be Used: Water.Fire Extinguishing Agents: Fight adjacent fire with water spray, carbon dioxide, alcohol foam or dry chemical. | |
| [Fire Potential] This material is probably combustible. | |
| [Ingestion] DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center. Be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital if advised by a physician. | |
| [Inhalation] Remove to fresh air. | |
| [Skin] Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash with soap and water. | |
| [Eyes] Flush with water for at least 15 min., lifting lids occasionally. | |
| [Storage] Keep in a cool, dry, dark location in a tightly sealed container or cylinder. Keep away from incompatible materials, ignition sources and untrained individuals. Secure and label area. Protect containers/cylinders from physical damage. | |
| [Handling] All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood. | |
| [Ingestion] Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are common. Oral, pharyngeal and esophageal burns may occur following ingestion of low phosphate detergents which are generally more alkaline. Colitis, esophageal stricture, and irritation of mucous membranes have also been reported. | |
| [Inhalation] Occupational asthma has been reported. Aspiration may result in upper airway edema and significant respiratory distress. Difficulty in breathing has been described in animals inhaling high concentrations of anionic surfactants. | |
| [Skin] Skin irritation has been reported after prolonged occupational dermal contact. Skin dryness, irritation, and contact dermatitis have been reported following varying degrees of exposure to detergents. | |
| [Hazards] Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire. | |
| [Personal Protection] Chemical goggles & rubber gloves. | |
| [Respirators] Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator appropriate for exposure of concern. | |
| [Appearance] Clear to hazy amber liquid with a soap-like odor. | |
| [Melting Point] 235 - 240 | |
| [Heat Of Vaporization] | |
| [Usage] Detergent, emulsifier. | |

| [Small spills/leaks] If you spill this chemical, you should dampen the solid spill material with water, then transfer the dampened material to a suitable container. Use absorbent paper dampened with water to pick up any remaining material. Seal your contaminated clothing and the absorbent paper in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Wash all contaminated surfaces with a soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned. | |
| [Incompatibilities] Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and metallic salts Reacts as bases to neutralize acids. | |
| [Stability] No data. | |
| [Combustion Products] Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire. |
