SECTION VI – HEALTH HAZARD DATA
GENERAL:
Limited toxicity data are available on this specific product; this health hazard assessment is based
on the results of screening tests.

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Eye Contact: Causes irritation
Skin Contact: Repeated / Prolonged contact may cause severe
irritation.
Inhalation: May cause mucous membrane irritation
Ingestion: May cause mucous membrane irritation
Exposure to diethanolamine may cause allergic contact dermatitis. If allergy develops, very low future
exposures can cause itching and a skin rash. Systematically toxic concentrations of this product will
probably not be absorbed through human skin. Diethanolamine has the potential for possibly harmful skin
absorption. Studies have been performed by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) on skin absorption of
Diethanolamine in mice and rats. The results show no evidence of carcinogenicity on mice of both sexes.
The significance of these findings is unclear and additional testing is currently underway.

FIRST AID:
Eye Contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15minutes. If redness,
itching or a burning sensation develops, have eyes examined and treated
by medical personnel.
Skin Contact: Wash material off of the skin with plenty of soap and water. If redness,
itching or burning sensation develops, get medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If a cough or other respiratory symptoms
develop, consult medical personnel.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink and
refer to medical personnel or take direction from either a physician or a
poison control center. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.
SECTION VII – SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Exposure limits: No ACGIH TLV or OSHA PEL is assigned to this mixture. Control of
exposure to below the PEL and/or TLV for the ingredients may not be
sufficient (See Section II or below). Minimize exposure in accordance
with good hygiene practice. The ACGIH TLV for Diethanolamine is
0.46 ppm (skin).
Engineering Controls: Use ventilation adequate to maintain safe levels.
Eye Protection: Chemical tight goggles.
Protective clothing: Impervious gloves.
Respiratory Protection: If needed, use MSHA-NIOSH approved respirator for organic vapors.
Other: Eyewash station and safety shower in work area.
SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: Soak up material with absorbent and
shovel into a chemical waste container. Wash residue from spill area with water containing
detergent and flush to a sewer serviced by a permitted wastewater treatment facility.

SECTION XII – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The toxicity data listed below are based on the results of screening tests on this specific product.

Eye contact: A 5% suspension of this material was tested. This material is moderately
irritating in rabbit eye irritation studies. A similar degree of irritation
will probably occur after human eye contact.
Skin contact: This material was severely irritating following a 24-hour exposure to
rabbit skin.
Acute Oral Toxicity: This material is classified as “slightly toxic” by ingestion.
Carcinogenicity: This material is not listed as a carcinogen by OSHA, IARC, and NTP.
Mutagenicity: No available information
Reproductive Toxicity/ Teratogenicity: No available information
Toxicologically Synergistic Products: None known
