The New Jersey Worker and Community Right to Know Act requires public and private employers to provide information about hazardous substances at their workplaces. (N.J.S.A. 34:5A-1 et. seq.)

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide and toxic oxides of nitogen may be produced.

· Flammable/combustible material.

INHALATION: High concentration of vapor will produce irritation of the respiratory tract and the lungs. Prolonged exposure may cause systemic effects. EYES: Contact with liquid may result in severe eye irritation. Exposure to concentrated vapor may result in corneal edema. SKIN: Contact with liquid may result in severe skin irritation, burns and possible skin absorption. INGESTION: May cause systemic poisoning. (USCG, 1999)

· May cause toxic effects if inhaled or ingested.

A severe eye and moderate to severe skin irritant; [RTECS] Highly irritating to skin and eyes; [CAMEO] A severe skin and eye irritant, with second-degree burns possible after a few minutes contact; High vapor concentrations cause respiratory tract and lung irritation, and may cause corneal edema; [CHRIS] A severe skin and mucous membrane irritant; [NTP] Causes burns; Inhalation may cause corrosive injuries to upper respiratory tract and lungs; Highly toxic by inhalation; Toxic by ingestion and skin absorption; [Sigma-Aldrich MSDS] See N-Ethyl cyclohexylamine.

2-ETHYLHEXYLAMINE reacts with oxidizing materials (NTP, 1992). Neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

· CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper. If shipping paper not available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover.

· ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area.

EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.
