1272/2008/EC (CLP) criteria. Respiratory tract 2 -EH may cause respiratory irritation at concentrations of 50 ppm or higher. Signs of respiratory irritation of unclear adversity were observed in human experimental studies at 20 ppm (Kiesswetter et al., 2005; van Thriel et al., 2005). Based on the available data on respiratory irritation in humans the test substance has to be classified into specific target organ toxicity category 3 (STOT 3, H335) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Sensitisation 2-ethilhexanol has not to be classified as skin or respiratory sensitiser according to 67/548/EEC and 1272/2008/EC (CLP) requirements.
Repeated dose toxicity Oral route 90 d, rat, NOAEL 250 mg/kg bw/ day; OECD 408, GLP; BG Chemie 1990) NOAEL: 200 mg/kg bw/day (chronic; mouse) Dermal route: no valid study identified Inhalation route 90 d, rat (male/female), NoAEC 638.4 mg/m³ air (analytical) (male/female) (overall effects) There is currently no need for classification of effects according to 67/548/EEC and 1272/2008/EC (CLP) requirements due to repeated exposure to the test substance.
Mutagenity 2-EH was not genotoxic in vitro using bacterial and mammalian cell test systems. 2-EH was not mutagenic in bacteria (Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and TA98, with or without metabolic activation) or mammalian cells in vitro (HGPRT and TK), and it did not induce chromosome aberration or sister chromatid exchange in mammalian cells.
Carcinogenity 2 -EH was not carcinogenic in two valid long term rodent studies using rats and mice of either sex.
Toxicity for reproduction Due to the lack of toxicity on fertility and development in definite studies with 2-ethylhexanol, there is no need for classification according to reproductive toxicity according to 67/548/EEC and 1272/2008/EC (CLP) requirements.

Toxicity to soil macro-organisms The substance is readily biodegradable, and the adsorption potential is low (low Pow and Koc). Direct and indirect exposure to soil is not likely, since the substance is not intentionally applied to soil. Therefore, no testing is required in accordance with REACH; ANNEX X; No. 9.4, column 2. Toxicity to terrestrial plants: The substance is readily biodegradable, and the adsorption potential is low (low Pow and Koc). Direct and indirect exposure to soil is not likely, since the substance is not intentionally applied to soil. Therefore, no testing is required in accordance with REACH; ANNEX X; No. 9.4, column 2. 12.2. Persistence and degradability: Abiotic degradation: substance is readily biodegradable Biodegradation:2-ethylhexanol was readily biodegradable in a MITI-I Test, (equivalent to OECD TG 301-C). This is in line with the observation that the chemical oxygen demand (COD) was reduced by >95% in the Zahn-Wellens test (OECD 302B guideline; reliability 2) within 5 days demonstrating rapid biodegradation. 12.3. Bioaccumulative potential: In accordance with column 2 of Annex IX, the study does not need to be conducted if the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation. The log Pow of 2.9 for 2-Ethylhexanol (Perstorp, 2010) indicates a low potential for bioaccumulation. In addition the substance is readily biodegradable (NITE, 2002). Therefore and for reasons of animal welfare a fish study is not performed.
Secondary poisoning: No information available. Due to the low log Pow of the substance, bioaccumulation is unlikely. 12.4. Mobility Water: 2-Ethylhexanol will slowly evaporate from the water surface into the atmosphere. 2-Ethylhexanol is readily biodegradable in water. Soil and sediments: The log Pow of 2.9 for 2-Ethylhexanol (Perstorp, 2010) indicates a low potential for bioaccumulation. Low values for Koc calculated with a QSAR tool also point to low absorption to soil. In addition the substance is readily biodegradable (NITE, 2002). 12.5. Results of PBT and vPvB assessment: Based on the available data it is concluded that 2-EH
- is readily biodegradable and does not fulfil the P or vP criterion - is not bioaccumulative and does not fulfil the B or vB criterion - does not fulfil the T criterion
and therefore is evaluated to be not a PBT or vPvB substance.

SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEWCarbon dioxide is a nonflammable liquefied compressed gas packaged in cylinders under its ownvapor pressure of 838 psig at 70 °F (21.1 °C). High concentrations can cause rapid suffocation andcan also increase respiration and heart rate. Contact with liquid may cause frostbite. Avoidbreathing gas. Self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required by rescue workers.
EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBERS800 - 523 - 9374 Continental U.S., Canada, or Puerto Rico610 - 481 - 7711 other locations
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:INHALATION: Carbon dioxide is an asphyxiant. Concentrations of 10% or more can produceunconsciousness or death.EYE CONTACT: Contact with liquid or cold vapor can cause freezing of tissue.SKIN CONTACT: Contact with liquid or cold vapor can cause frostbite.
EXPOSURE INFORMATION:ROUTE OF ENTRY: InhalationTARGET ORGANS: Central nervous systemEFFECT: Asphyxiation (suffocation). Overexposure may cause damage to retinal ganglion
SYMPTOMS: Headache, sweating, rapid breathing, increased heartbeat, shortness of breath,dizziness, mental depression, visual disturbances, and shaking.CHRONIC EFFECTS: None established.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: NoneCARCINOGENICITY: Carbon dioxide is not listed by NTP, OSHA or IARC.
SECTION 4. FIRST AID
INHALATION: Persons suffering from overexposure should be moved to fresh air. If victim is notbreathing, administer artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Obtainprompt medical attention.EYE CONTACT: Contact with liquid or cold vapor can cause freezing of tissue. Gently flush eyeswith lukewarm water. Obtain medical attention immediately.SKIN CONTACT: Contact with liquid or cold vapor can cause frostbite. Immediately warmaffected area with lukewarm water not to exceed 107 °F.NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: There is no specific antidote. Treatment for overexposure should bedirected at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide is nonflammable and does not support combustion.Carbon dioxide is an extinguishing agent for class B and C fires. Use extinguishing mediaappropriate for the surrounding fire.HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: None known.FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Evacuate personnel from danger area. Carbon dioxide isnonflammable. If possible, without risk, remove cylinders from fire area or cool with water. Selfcontained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required for rescue workers.UNUSUAL HAZARDS: Upon exposure to intense heat or flame, cylinder will vent rapidly and orrupture violently. Most cylinders are designed to vent contents when exposed to elevatedtemperatures. Pressure in a container can build up due to heat and it may rupture if pressure reliefdevices should fail to function.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Evacuate all personnel from affected area. Increase ventilation to release area and monitoroxygen level. Use appropriate protective equipment (SCBA). If leak is from cylinder or cylindervalve call the Air Products emergency telephone number. If leak is in user’s system close cylindervalve and vent pressure before attempting repairs.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE: Cylinders should be stored upright in a well-ventilated, secure area, protected from theweather. Storage area temperatures should not exceed 125 °F (52 °C). Storage should be awayfrom heavily traveled areas and emergency exits. Avoid areas where salt or other corrosivematerials are present. Valve protection caps and valve outlet seals should remain on cylinders notconnected for use. Separate full from empty cylinders. Avoid excessive inventory and storagetime. Use a first-in first-out system. Keep good inventory records.HANDLING: Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement. Never attempt to lift a cylinder byits valve protection valve cap. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to any part of thecylinder. Do not
allow any part of the cylinder to exceed 125 °F (52 °C). High temperature may cause damage tocylinder and/or premature failure of pressure relief device which will result in venting of cylindercontents. If user experiences any difficulty operating cylinder valve discontinue use and contactsupplier. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench, screwdriver, pry bar, etc.) into valve cap openings.Doing so may damage valve causing a leak to occur. Use an adjustable strap wrench to removeover-tight or rusted caps.Only the proper CGA connections should be used, never use adapters. Use piping and equipmentadequately designed to withstand pressures to be encountered. If liquid product is being usedensure steps have been taken to prevent entrapment of liquid in closed systems. The use ofpressure relief devices may be necessary. Use a check valve or other protective apparatus in anyline or piping from the cylinder to prevent reverse flow.Carbon dioxide is compatible with all common materials of construction. Pressure requirementsshould be considered when selecting materials and designing systems.Use a “FULL”, “IN USE”, and “EMPTY” tag system on cylinders. This will reduce the chances ofinadvertently connecting or operating the wrong cylinder.SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: Always store and handle compressed gases in accordance withCompressed Gas Association, Inc. (ph. 703-979-0900) pamphlet CGA P-1, Safe Handling ofCompressed Gases in Containers. Local regulations may require specific equipment for storage oruse.CAUTION: Compressed gas cylinders shall not be refilled except by qualified producers ofcompressed gases. Shipment of a compressed gas cylinder which has not been filled by the owneror with the owner’s written consent is a violation of federal law.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Precautions for safe handling : Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Use only non-sparking tools. Use only explosion-proof equipment. Wear leather safety gloves and safety shoes when handling cylinders. Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. While moving cylinder, always keep in place removable valve cover. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap; the cap is intended solely to protect the valve. When moving cylinders, even for short distances, use a cart (trolley, hand truck, etc.) designed to transport cylinders. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench, screwdriver, pry bar) into cap openings; doing so may damage the valve and cause a leak. Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Slowly open the valve. If the valve is hard to open, discontinue use and contact your supplier. Close the container valve after each use; keep closed even when empty. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to any part of the container. High temperatures may damage the container and could cause the pressure relief device to fail prematurely, venting the container contents. For other precautions in using this product, see section 16.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage conditions : Store only where temperature will not exceed 125°F (52°C). Post “No Smoking or Open Flames” signs in storage and use areas. There must be no sources of ignition. Separate packages and protect against potential fire and/or explosion damage following appropriate codes and requirements (e.g., NFPA 30, NFPA 55, NFPA 70, and/or NFPA 221 in the U.S.) or according to requirements determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Always secure containers upright to keep them from falling or being knocked over. Install valve protection cap, if provided, firmly in place by hand when the container is not in use. Store full and empty containers separately. Use a first-in, first-out inventory system to prevent storing full containers for long periods. For other precautions in using this product, see section 16. OTHER PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING, STORAGE, AND USE: When handling product under pressure, use piping and equipment adequately designed to withstand the pressures to be encountered. Never work on a pressurized system. Use a back flow preventive device in the piping. Gases can cause rapid suffocation because of oxygen deficiency; store and use with adequate ventilation. If a leak occurs, close the container valve and blow down the system in a safe and environmentally correct manner in compliance with all international, federal/national, state/provincial, and local laws; then repair the leak. Never place a container where it may become part of an electrical circuit.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Precautions for safe handling : Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Use only non-sparking tools. Use only explosion-proof equipment. Wear leather safety gloves and safety shoes when handling cylinders. Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. While moving cylinder, always keep in place removable valve cover. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap; the cap is intended solely to protect the valve. When moving cylinders, even for short distances, use a cart (trolley, hand truck, etc.) designed to transport cylinders. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench, screwdriver, pry bar) into cap openings; doing so may damage the valve and cause a leak. Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Slowly open the valve. If the valve is hard to open, discontinue use and contact your supplier. Close the container valve after each use; keep closed even when empty. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to any part of the container. High temperatures may damage the container and could cause the pressure relief device to fail prematurely, venting the container contents. For other precautions in using this product, see section 16.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage conditions : Store only where temperature will not exceed 125°F (52°C). Post “No Smoking or Open Flames” signs in storage and use areas. There must be no sources of ignition. Separate packages and protect against potential fire and/or explosion damage following appropriate codes and requirements (e.g., NFPA 30, NFPA 55, NFPA 70, and/or NFPA 221 in the U.S.) or according to requirements determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Always secure containers upright to keep them from falling or being knocked over. Install valve protection cap, if provided, firmly in place by hand when the container is not in use. Store full and empty containers separately. Use a first-in, first-out inventory system to prevent storing full containers for long periods. For other precautions in using this product, see section 16. OTHER PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING, STORAGE, AND USE: When handling product under pressure, use piping and equipment adequately designed to withstand the pressures to be encountered. Never work on a pressurized system. Use a back flow preventive device in the piping. Gases can cause rapid suffocation because of oxygen deficiency; store and use with adequate ventilation. If a leak occurs, close the container valve and blow down the system in a safe and environmentally correct manner in compliance with all international, federal/national, state/provincial, and local laws; then repair the leak. Never place a container where it may become part of an electrical circuit.

Sulfur Dioxide is a nonflammable, colorless, irritating, liquefied compressed gas packaged in cylindersunder its own vapor pressure (35 psig at 70°F). It has a suffocating odor, detectable at 3-5 ppm, andleaves an acidic taste in the mouth (0.3-1 ppm). It is a toxic, corrosive gas that can cause severechemical burns if inhaled or upon skin contact. When entering release area wear Self ContainedBreathing Apparatus (SCBA) if concentrations are unknown or exceed exposure limits. Fully protectivesuits are required in large releases. Reaction with water will produce heat and form a very corrosive acid.

ACUTE POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:EYE CONTACT: Irritation and/or burns to the cornea that may lead to vision impairment or loss.INHALATION: Corrosive and irritating to the respiratory tract and mucous membranes. Excessiveexposure to concentrations above the exposure limits may result in chemical pneumonitis(inflammation), pulmonary hemorrhage (bleeding) and edema fluid buildup.
SKIN CONTACT: Chemical burn similar to one that is caused by an inorganic acid. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS OF REPEATED EXPOSURE:
ROUTE OF ENTRY: Inhalation, eye or skin contact.TARGET ORGANS: Airway, lungs, eyes, and skin.SYMPTOMS: Burning/irritation in the eyes. Coughing, irritation in the throat and nasal tract. Irritationand/or burns of exposed areas.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: Asthma, emphysema, or otherrespiratory diseases.CARCINOGENICITY: This product is not listed as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen by NTP, IARC, orOSHA.
SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediatemedical attention.INHALATION: Move exposed personnel to uncontaminated area. If not breathing, administer artificialrespiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Obtain prompt medical attention and continue withadministration of oxygen. If airway obstruction occurs the placement of an artificial airway by anemergency medical technician may be necessary.SKIN CONTACT: Immediately flush with large amounts of water. Remove contaminated clothing,including shoes, after flushing has begun. Applications of ice water compresses for 30 minutes afterflushing may help limit extent of burn.NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Bronchospasm may be treated with the use of a bronchodilator such asalbuterol and an anticholinergic inhalant such as Atrovent.
SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: AUTOIGNITION: FLAMMABLE RANGE:Not applicable Not applicable NonflammableEXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Product is nonflammable. Use extinguishing media appropriate forsurrounding fire.SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Evacuate all personnel from area. If possible without risk,move cylinders away from fire area. Keep cylinders cool with water spray until well after fire is out.Runoff from fire fighting may be contaminated; check pH. Cylinders exposed to high heat or flame mayvent rapidly and may rupture violently. Most cylinders are designed to vent contents when exposed toelevated temperatures found in fire situations.UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Upon exposure to intense heat or flame, cylinder willvent rapidly and/or rupture violently. Most cylinders are designed to vent contents when exposed toelevated temperatures. Pressure in a cylinder can build up due to heat and it may rupture if pressurerelief devices should fail to function.HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: None known.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Evacuate immediate area. If spill issmall, ventilate area or remove cylinder to an outdoor location. Use appropriate protective equipment. Ifspill is large, evacuate all personnel from affected area. Increase ventilation to release area. Useappropriate protective equipment. Materials that are contacted by releasing product must bedecontaminated. Regardless of spill size, shut off source of leak if possible. Isolate any leaking cylinder.If leak is from container, pressure relief device or its valve, contact your supplier. If leak is in user’ssystem, close cylinder valve, safely vent pressure and purge with inert gas before attempting repairs.
STORAGE: Store cylinders in a well-ventilated, secure area, protected from the weather. Cylindersshould be stored upright with valve outlet seals and valve protection caps in place. Do not allow storagetemperature to exceed 125 °F (52 °C). Storage should be away from heavily traveled areas andemergency exits. Avoid areas where salt or other corrosive materials are present. Valve protection capsand valve outlet seals should remain on cylinders not connected for use. Full and empty cylinders shouldbe segregated. Use a first-in first-out inventory system to prevent full containers from being stored for longperiods of time. Visually inspect stored cylinders on a routine basis, at least weekly, for any indication ofleakage or other problems.HANDLING: Do not drag, roll, slide or drop cylinder. Use a suitable hand truck designed for cylindermovement. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap. Secure cylinders at all times while in use. Use apressure reducing regulator or separate control valve to safely discharge gas from cylinder. Use a check valveto prevent reverse flow into cylinder. Use piping and equipment adequately designed to withstand pressuresto be encountered. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to any part of the cylinder. Once cylinder hasbeen connected to process, open cylinder valve slowly and carefully. If user experiences any difficultyoperating cylinder valve, discontinue use and contact supplier. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench,screwdriver, etc.) into valve cap openings. Doing so may damage valve causing a leak to occur. Use anadjustable strap-wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps.Most metals are corroded by this product in the presence of moisture. Systems should be kept free ofmoisture. Purge system with dry inert gas (e.g. helium or nitrogen) before this product is introduced andwhen system is out of service. Carbon steel, stainless steel, Monel, or copper are suitable materials ofconstruction for use when no moisture is present. Hastelloy, platinum or gold offer good resistance tocorrosion when moisture is present. Kel-F or teflon are the preferred gasket materials. Pressurerequirements should be considered when selecting materials and designing systems.Use a “FULL”, “IN USE”, and “EMPTY” tag system on cylinders. This reduces the chances of inadvertentlyconnecting or operating the wrong cylinder.SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: Always store and handle compressed gas cylinders in accordance withCompressed Gas Association, Inc. (telephone 703-412-0900) pamphlet CGA P-1, Safe Handling ofCompressed Gases in Containers. Local regulations may require specific equipment for storage or use.
