SECTION 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Major Health Hazards:
Toxic if swallowed, irritating to eyes and skin.
Potential Health Effects
--Inhalation--
Short term exposure:
Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract. Excessive exposure may increase sensitivity to epinephrine and increase myocardial irritability (irregular heartbeats). May cause alcohol intolerance often manifested by temporary reddening of the skin called "degreaser's flush". Minimal anesthetic or irritant effects
may be seen around 200-400 ppm. Levels in the range of 1000-2000 ppm may rapidly cause dizziness or drunkenness.
Long Term exposure:
No data for health effects associated with long term inhalation.
--Skin Contact--
Short term exposure:
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation. May cause drying or flaking of skin. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. Trichloroethylene may be absorbed through skin and may cause numbness if the fingers are immersed in the liquid.
Long Term exposure:
No data for health effects associated with long term skin exposure.
--Eye Contact--
Short term exposure:
This product is an eye irritant. Symptoms may include stinging and reddening of eyes and watering which may become copious. Other symptoms may also become evident. If exposure is brief, symptoms should disappear once exposure has ceased. However, lengthy exposure or delayed treatment may cause permanent damage.
Long Term exposure:
No data for health effects associated with long term eye exposure.
--Ingestion--
Short term exposure:
Significant oral exposure is considered to be unlikely. Available data shows that this product is toxic, but further symptoms are not available. However, this product is an oral irritant. Symptoms may include burning sensation and reddening of skin in mouth and throat. If aspirated (liquid enters the lung), may be rapidly absorbed through the lungs and result in injury to other body systems.
Long Term exposure:
No data for health effects associated with long term ingestion.

.36 (Butyl acetate = 1)
SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Reactivity:
This product is unlikely to react or decompose under normal storage conditions. However, if you have any doubts, contact the supplier for advice on shelf life properties.
Conditions to Avoid:
Avoid open flames, welding arcs, or other high temperature sources which induce thermal decomposition to irritating and corrosive Hydrogen chloride from solvent vapor. High energy ultra violet light sources such as welding arcs can cause degradation generating chlorine, hydrogen chloride and possibly phosgene, and
should be avoided. Avoid strong bases including caustic soda and caustic potash. Also avoid metallic aluminum and zinc powders.
Incompatibilities:
Strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidizing agents.
Fire Decomposition:
Involvement in fire or high temperatures forms hydrogen chloride and very small amounts of phosgene and chlorine. Solvent decomposition occurs when catalyzed by metal chlorides which can be produced by reaction of HCl and metals in the system. In the presence of aluminum, the decomposition can proceed rapidly with
production of large amounts of heat and HCl fumes. Contamination of solvent with
small amounts of 1,1,1-trichloroethylene can affect stabilizers and shorten solvent life.
Polymerization:
This product will not undergo polymerization reactions.
SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Target Organs:
There is no data to hand indicating any particular target organs.
SKIN: The LD50 for skin absorption in rabbits is approximately 10,000 mg/kg.
SWALLOWED: The oral LD50 for rats is 4,920 mg/kg.
INHALATION:
The LC50 for rats is 12,500 ppm for 4 hours.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS):
Birth defects are unlikely. Exposures having no effect on the mother should have no effect on the fetus. Did not cause birth defects in animals; other effects were seen in
the fetus only at doses which caused toxic effects to the mother.
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS:
Animal data on trichloroethylene do not suggest any reproductive hazard from exposure. Chronic effects may include symptoms of fatigue, headache, irritability, vomiting, flushing of the skin, intolerance to
alcohol, and damage to liver kidneys, heart and nervous system.
MUTAGENICITY:
Lacks mutagenic potential in most tests.
SECTION 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects to the aquatic environment. There is little information on the toxicity of trichloroethylene for fish. The US Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (1975) reports, for an unidentified species, that exposure to a concentration range of 100 - 1000 mg/liter produced toxic effects in 96 h. Toxicity tests carried out on salt-water flatfish, Limanda limanda (sole), 15 - 20 cm long, in a continuous water flow, established a 96-h LC50 of 16 mg/liter (1975). A 96-h LC50 mg/liter (static) or 67 mg/liter (continuous flow) has been reported for the minnow Pimephales promelas
(1978).
A value was established at LC100 of 600 mg/liter for Daphnia magna. The LC50 for the balanide salt-water crustacean nauplius (larva) (Elminius modestus) was 20 mg/liter after 46 h, and the LC50 for the protozoon Entosiphon sulcatum was established as 1200 mg/liter. Various LC50 values have been established for algae including 63 mg/litre forMicrocystis aeruginosa, a concentration of 1000 mg/liter did not have any observable effect on Scenedesmus quadricauda. A short-term photosynthesis efficiency test gave an LC50 of 8 mg/liter and, finally, in tests carried out on Thalassiosira pseudonana and Dunaliella tertiolecta, there were observable effects at 50 and 100 μg/liter, in a mixed culture.
SECTION 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Disposal:
There are many pieces of legislation covering waste disposal and they differ in each state and territory, so each user must refer to laws operating in their area. In some
areas, certain wastes must be tracked. The Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle and only if all else fails should disposal be considered. Note that properties of a product may change in use, so that the following suggestions may not always be appropriate. The following may help you improperly addressing this matter for this product. This product may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make it unsuitable for its intended use. If it has been contaminated, it may be possible to separate the contamination in some way. Only if neither of these options is suitable, consider landfill.

SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Reactivity:
This product is unlikely to react or decompose under normal storage conditions. However, if you have any doubts, contact the supplier for advice on shelf life properties.
Conditions to Avoid:
Avoid open flames, welding arcs, or other high temperature sources which induce thermal decomposition to irritating and corrosive Hydrogen chloride from solvent vapor. High energy ultra violet light sources such as welding arcs can cause degradation generating chlorine, hydrogen chloride and possibly phosgene, and
should be avoided. Avoid strong bases including caustic soda and caustic potash. Also avoid metallic aluminum and zinc powders.
Incompatibilities:
Strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidizing agents.
Fire Decomposition:
Involvement in fire or high temperatures forms hydrogen chloride and very small amounts of phosgene and chlorine. Solvent decomposition occurs when catalyzed by metal chlorides which can be produced by reaction of HCl and metals in the system. In the presence of aluminum, the decomposition can proceed rapidly with
production of large amounts of heat and HCl fumes. Contamination of solvent with
small amounts of 1,1,1-trichloroethylene can affect stabilizers and shorten solvent life.
Polymerization:
This product will not undergo polymerization reactions.
SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Target Organs:
There is no data to hand indicating any particular target organs.
SKIN: The LD50 for skin absorption in rabbits is approximately 10,000 mg/kg.
SWALLOWED: The oral LD50 for rats is 4,920 mg/kg.
INHALATION:
The LC50 for rats is 12,500 ppm for 4 hours.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS):
Birth defects are unlikely. Exposures having no effect on the mother should have no effect on the fetus. Did not cause birth defects in animals; other effects were seen in
the fetus only at doses which caused toxic effects to the mother.
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS:
Animal data on trichloroethylene do not suggest any reproductive hazard from exposure. Chronic effects may include symptoms of fatigue, headache, irritability, vomiting, flushing of the skin, intolerance to
alcohol, and damage to liver kidneys, heart and nervous system.
MUTAGENICITY:
Lacks mutagenic potential in most tests.
SECTION 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects to the aquatic environment. There is little information on the toxicity of trichloroethylene for fish. The US Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (1975) reports, for an unidentified species, that exposure to a concentration range of 100 - 1000 mg/liter produced toxic effects in 96 h. Toxicity tests carried out on salt-water flatfish, Limanda limanda (sole), 15 - 20 cm long, in a continuous water flow, established a 96-h LC50 of 16 mg/liter (1975). A 96-h LC50 mg/liter (static) or 67 mg/liter (continuous flow) has been reported for the minnow Pimephales promelas
(1978).
A value was established at LC100 of 600 mg/liter for Daphnia magna. The LC50 for the balanide salt-water crustacean nauplius (larva) (Elminius modestus) was 20 mg/liter after 46 h, and the LC50 for the protozoon Entosiphon sulcatum was established as 1200 mg/liter. Various LC50 values have been established for algae including 63 mg/litre forMicrocystis aeruginosa, a concentration of 1000 mg/liter did not have any observable effect on Scenedesmus quadricauda. A short-term photosynthesis efficiency test gave an LC50 of 8 mg/liter and, finally, in tests carried out on Thalassiosira pseudonana and Dunaliella tertiolecta, there were observable effects at 50 and 100 μg/liter, in a mixed culture.
SECTION 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Disposal:
There are many pieces of legislation covering waste disposal and they differ in each state and territory, so each user must refer to laws operating in their area. In some
areas, certain wastes must be tracked. The Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle and only if all else fails should disposal be considered. Note that properties of a product may change in use, so that the following suggestions may not always be appropriate. The following may help you improperly addressing this matter for this product. This product may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make it unsuitable for its intended use. If it has been contaminated, it may be possible to separate the contamination in some way. Only if neither of these options is suitable, consider landfill.
