1254 Chestnut Street Newton, MA 02464-1418 Tel: (617) 965-5511 Fax: (617) 965-5818 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET PAGE 1 SECTION 1. CHEMICAL IDENTIFICATION --------------------------------------------------------- CHEMICAL NAME: TRADE NAME: PRODUCT #: Organic Solvent Solution SU-8 Developer Y020100 SECTION 2. COMPOSITION----------------------------------------------------------------------------- HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS: 1-Methoxy-2-propanol acetate (CAS: 108-65-6), >99.5% Synonym: propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate 2-Methoxy-1-propanol acetate (CAS: 70657-70-4), <0.5% SECTION 3. HAZARD DATA---------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFLAMMABILITY: SKIN CONTACT: EYE CONTACT: INGESTION: INHALATION: MUTAGENICITY: CARCINOGENICITY: TARGET ORGANS: Moderately combustible liquid. Prolonged contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. Repeated contact may cause skin irritation with local redness. May cause pain disproportionate to the level of irritation to eye tissues. May cause slight eye irritation. May cause slight corneal injury. Very low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury. No adverse effects are anticipated from single exposure to vapor. No data available. Not listed in NTP, IARC, or OSHA as a carcinogen. Kidney, Liver, Nasal tissue. SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES------------------------------------------------------------------- INHALATION: INGESTION: SKIN CONTACT: EYE CONTACT: Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician. If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Wash skin with plenty of water. Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a physician.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET PAGE 2 SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES----------------------------------------------------------- EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS: UNUSUAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam. Do not enter fire area without proper protection. Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Fight fire from a safe distance/protected location. Heat may build enough pressure to rupture closed containers. Use water spray/fog for cooling. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel a long distance and accumulate in low lying areas. Ignition and/or flashback may occur. SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE PROCEDURES ------------------------------------------- EVACUATION PROCEDURES & SAFETY: CLEANUP & DISPOSAL OF SPILL: Wear appropriate protective gear for the situation. See Personal Protection information in Section 8. Absorb with an inert absorbent. Sweep up and place in an appropriate closed container (see Section 7). Clean up residual material by washing area with water. Collect washings for disposal. ENVIRONMENTAL & REGULATORY REPORTING: Do not flush to drain. If required proper authorities should be notified. SECTION 7. STORAGE AND HANDLING PRECAUTIONS--------------------------------------- STORAGE: HANDLING: Store away from direct sunlight. Minimize sources of ignition, such as static build-up, heat, sparks or flame. No smoking, open flames or sources of ignition in handling and storage area. Electrically ground and bond all equipment. Avoid breathing vapors. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes. Wear recommended personal protective equipment. Wash with soap and water after handling.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET PAGE 3 SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION----------------------- RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: VENTILATION: SKIN PROTECTION: EYE PROTECTION: No occupational exposure limits have been developed for this material. Where exposure through inhalation may occur from use, approved respiratory protection equipment is recommended. General mechanical ventilation or local exhaust is sufficient under normal conditions. Impervious butyl gloves are recommended. Chemical splash goggles and/or face shields are recommended. SECTION 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL DATA-------------------------------------------------- APPEARANCE: Clear, colorless liquid ODOR: Ether BOILING POINT: 146 ºC (294 ºF), @ 760mm Hg SPECIFIC GRAVITY: 0.964 @ 25 ºC (77 ºF) VAPOR PRESSURE: 3.7 mm Hg @ 20 ºC (68 ºF) H 2 O SOLUBILITY: 19% by weight % VOLATILES: 100% by wt EVAPORATION RATE: 0.3 (BuAc = 1) FLASH POINT: 46 ºC (115 ºF) TCC AUTOIGNITION TEMP: 333 ºC (631 ºF) EXPLOSION LIMITS: 1.5% lower (vol%) 7% upper (vol%) SECTION 10. REACTIVITY DATA ------------------------------------------------------------------- STABILITY: INCOMPATIBILITY: HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION OR DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Stable Oxidizing materials, Strong acids, Strong oxidizers. Will not occur Carbon Monoxide and other toxic vapors. SECTION 11. TOXICITY HAZARDS------------------------------------------------------------------- Acute Toxicity: Ingestion LD50, Rat, male - >10,000 mg/kg LD50, Rat, female 8,532 mg/kg Skin Absorption LD50, Rabbit - >5,000 mg/kg Inhalation LC50, 6h, Rat - >4,345 ppm
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET PAGE 4 Developmental Toxicity Did not cause birth defects or other effects in the fetus even at doses which caused toxic effects in the mother Reproductive Toxicity No relevant information found. Genetic Toxicity In vitro genetic toxicity studies were negative. SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL DATA-------------------------------------------------------------------- ECOTOXICITY: ENVIRONMENTAL FATE: BIODEGRADATION: Material is practically non-toxic to aquatic organisms on an acute basis (LC50/EC50 >100 mg/l in the most sensitive species tested. Bioconcentration potential is low (BCF less than 100 or log Pow less than 3). Potential for mobility in soil is very high (Koc between 0 and 50). Material is readily biodegradable. Passes OECD test(s) for ready biodegradability. SECTION 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS------------------------------------------------------- Comply with applicable local, state or international regulations regarding the proper disposal of this material and/or containers.
