__________________________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

?? Personal Precautions: An appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator should be used if a mist or vapor is
generated. Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection. Do not touch damaged containers or
spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.

?? Environmental Precautions: Minimize contamination of drains, surface and ground waters.

?? Procedures for Spill/Leak Clean-up: Neutralization not required. Contain spill. Absorb or cover with dry earth,
sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers for
disposal. Dispose as any grease or oily material in compliance with Federal,
State, and/or Local requirements.

Refer to Section 8 for additional personal protection information.
Refer to Section 13 for disposal considerations.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

?? Handling: Handle in accordance with good hygiene and safety procedures. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Since empty containers contain product residue and can be dangerous, follow all hazard warnings and
precautions even after container is emptied. Keep away from sources of ignition.

?? Storage: Keep away from possible contact with incompatible substances.
Should be stored in resin-lined steel, aluminum, stainless steel, or reinforced fiberglass vessels.
Do not store near possible sources of ignition.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

?? General Precautions: Good industrial hygiene practices should be followed.
Avoid breathing (heated) vapors. Avoid eye and skin contact.

?? Exposure Limit Values: Not established.

?? Exposure Controls:

Engineering Controls: Ventilation: Local exhaust - preferred
Mechanical - may be necessary if working at elevated temperatures
or in enclosed areas.

Personal Protective Equipment:

Eye - Goggles or face shield with goggles, dependent upon potential exposure.

Skin - Protective gloves: Rubber or plastic
Dependent upon degree of potential exposure, additional personal protective
equipment may be required, such as chemical boots and full protective clothing.

Inhalation - None required for ambient temperature, although an appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved air-purifying
respirator should be used if a mist or vapor is generated. A NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained
breathing apparatus or air-supplied respirator is recommended if the concentration exceeds the capacity
of cartridge respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-
deficient atmospheres.

Other Controls: Boots, eye wash fountain, safety shower, apron, protective clothing.

?? Environmental Exposure Controls: Contact Procter and Gamble for specific Community information.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Oral Toxicity
Tallow fatty acids are practically nontoxic based on the toxicity of its components. The acute oral LD50 for rats
is greater than 10 g/kg of body weight for C16 and C18 acids. In addition, the acute oral LD50 is greater than
21.5 ml/kg of body weight for octadecenoic and octadecadienoic acids.

Skin Safety
Tallow fatty acids should be non-irritating to the skin and should produce no skin sensitization based on safety studies of its
constituents. Hexadecanoic, octadecanoic and octadecenoic acids produce essentially no primary irritation upon
repeated exposure in repeat insult patch testing with humans. Skin sensitization did not occur.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION-CONTINUE
Eye Safety
The undiluted tallow fatty acids may produce mild transient eye irritation based on eye safety studies of
C16 - C18 fatty acids.
