2 POLYSORBATE 8 Page Number: 2 Section 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Serious Skin Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 5 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Cold water may be used. Inhalation Serious Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Ingestion Serious Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if symptoms appear. Section 5. Fire and Explosion Data Flammability of the Product Auto-Ignition Temperature Flash Points Flammable Limits Products of Combustion Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances May be combustible at high temperature. CLOSED CUP: >48.89 C (300 F). Slightly flammable to flammable in presence of heat. Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances Risks of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical impact: Risks of explosion of the product in presence of static discharge: Fire Fighting Media and Instructions Fire Hazards Explosion Hazards SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet. Section 6. Accidental Release Measures Small Spill Large Spill Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Section 7. Handling and Storage Precautions Storage Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store above 32.2 C (90 F). Preferably store at temperatures between 5 0 deg. F and 90 deg. F.

3 POLYSORBATE 8 Page Number: 3 Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls Personal Protection Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill Exposure Limits Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station location. Safety glasses or Splash goggles. Synthetic apron or Lab coat. Gloves (impervious). Respiratory protection is not necessary for normal handling. This product has a low vapor pressure (below mm Hg) and is not expected to pose an inhalation hazard. Adequate general (room) ventilation or local exhaust (fume hood) is sufficient. Use a vapor respirator under conditions where exposure to the substance is apparent (e.g. generation of high concentrations of mist or vapor, inadequate ventilation, development of respiratory tract irritation), and engineering controls are not feasible. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product. Section 9. Physical and Chemical Properties Physical state and appearance Liquid.

Toxicological Information Routes of Entry Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans Other Toxic Effects on Humans Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans other Toxic Effects on Humans Inhalation. Ingestion. Acute oral toxicity (LD50): mg/kg [Mouse]; >36000 mg/kg [Rat] Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Lethal Dose/Conc 50% Kill: LD50 [Rat] - Route: Oral; Dose: ul/kg Equivocal tumorgenic agent by Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) critera based on animal data. May affect genetic material (mutagenic) Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: No irritation is expected, but it may cause mild/slight irritation in more sensitive individuals. It will probably not be absorbed through the skin. Eyes: It may cause eye irritation. Inhalation: Not expected to be a health hazard. No irritation is expected to be associated with the inhalation of this material. No toxic effects are known to be associated with the inhalation of this material. Ingestion: This material is not likely to cause irritation upon ingestion. It is classified as "relatively harmless" by ingestion and considered to be a low ingestion hazard. Ingestion of very large doses may cause abdominal spasms and diarrhea. Animal studies have shown it to cause cardiac changes, changes in behavior (altered sleep time) upon IV administration. However, no similar human data has been reported. Chronic Potential Health Effects Ingestion: Prolonged or repeated ingestion may cause hypermotility and diarrhea and wieight loss. Section 2. Ecological Information Ecotoxicity BOD5 and COD Products of Biodegradation Toxicity of the Products of Biodegradation the Products of Biodegradation Possibly hazardous short term degradation products are not likely. However, long term degradation products may arise. Section 3. Disposal Considerations Waste Disposal Waste must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local environmental control regulations. Section 4. Transport Information DOT Classification Identification Not a DOT controlled material (United States). Special Provisions for Transport DOT
