If breathing becomes difficult, oxygen may be given, preferably with a physician’s advice. Ifnot breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention.SkinImmediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin with soap and plenty of water for at least 15minutes. Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Get medical attention. Wash contaminatedclothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.EyeImmediately flush eyes with large quantities of running water for a minimum of 15 minutes. If the victim iswearing contact lenses, remove them. Take care not to contaminate the victim’s healthy skin and eyes. Holdthe eyelids apart during the flushing to ensure rinsing of the entire surface of the eye and lids. DO NOT letvictim rub eye(s). Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Get medical attention immediately. Oils orointments should not be used at this time. Continue flushing for an additional 15 minutes if a physician is notimmediately available.IngestionDo NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or a poison control center immediately. Give victim plenty of water todrink. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Get medical attentionimmediately.Note to physicianPersons with pre-existing skin and/or respiratory disease may be at increased risk if exposed to this material.Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide is severly corrosive to the eyes and may cause delayed keratitis. The normallyprescribed 15 minute eye irrigation after exposure may be difficult because of the severe pain. The priorinstallation of a topical ocular anesthetic is essential to facilitate a comprehensive ocular lavage.Swallowing of this corrosive material may result in severe ulceration, inflammation, and possible perforation ofthe upper alimentary tract, with hemorrahage and fluid loss. Aspiration of this product during induced emesiscan result in severe lung injury. If evacuation of the stomach is necessary, use method least likely to causeaspiration, such as gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. Contact a Poison Control Center for additionaltreatment information.5.

Wash thoroughly afterhandling.Electrically grounded tanks and containers should always be used as should non-sparking, electricallygrounded hand tools and appliances. Ground or bond to ground all vessels when transferring to prevent theaccumulation of static electricity. See National Electric Code. Emptied container may retain product residues.Follow all warnings and precautions even after container is emptied.StorageTo insure product quality, storage temperatures should not exceed MAXIMUM STORAGE TEMPERATUREshown below. To prevent possible self-accelerating decomposition, temperatures in the storage facility must notexceed 131 F (55 C).Keep containers tightly closed. Store away from amines, acids alkalis and heavy metal compounds (e.g.driers, metal soaps and accelerators).Maximum storage temperature86.00 °F 30.00 °C(to maintain product quality)General commentsContainers should not be opened until ready for use.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTIONRespiratory protectionUse a NIOSH-approved organic vapor respirator with dust, mist and fume filters to reduce potential forinhalation exposure if use conditions generate vapor, mist or aerosol and adequate ventilation (e.g., outdoor orwell-ventilated area) is not available. Where exposure potential necessitates a higher level of protection, use aNIOSH-approved, positive-pressure/pressure-demand, air-supplied respirator.When using respirator cartridges or canisters, they must be changed frequently (following each use or at theend of the workshift) to assure breakthrough exposure does not occur.Skin protectionSkin contact with liquid or its aerosol must be prevented through the use of permeation resistant clothing,gloves and footwear. Unprotected skin exposed to vapor, aerosol or mist must be thoroughly washed beforeeating, drinking, smoking and at the end of the workshift.Eye protectionBecause eye contact with this product may cause burns and possibly permanent damage, chemical gogglesand/or a full face shield must be worn whenever handling this product.Ventilation protectionLocal exhaust ventilation, enclosed system design, continuous moni- toring devices, process isolation andremote control are traditional exposure control techniques which may be used to effectively minimize employeeexposure.Other informationSafety showers, with quick opening valves which stay open, and eye wash fountains, or other means of washingthe eyes with a gentle flow of cool to tepid tap water, should be readily available in all areas where this materialis handled or stored. Water should be supplied through insulated and heat-traced lines to prevent freezeups incold weather.Applicable exposure limitsAvailable exposure limits applicable to this product are shown below.AgencyValue/Unit of measurementMethyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP)ACGIH TLV/CEILING 1.500 mg/m³NIOSH REL/CEILING 1.500 mg/m³Hydrogen peroxideOSHA PEL/TWA 1.400 mg/m³ACGIH TLV/TWA 1.400 mg/m³NIOSH REL/TWA 1.400 mg/m³Methyl ethyl ketoneOSHA PEL/TWA 590.000 mg/m³OSHA PEL/STEL 885.000 mg/m³ACGIH TLV/TWA 590.000 mg/m³ACGIH TLV/STEL 885.000 mg/m³NIOSH REL/TWA 590.000 mg/m³NIOSH REL/STEL 885.000 mg/m³PEL = Permissible Exposure LimitTLV = Threshold Limit ValueTWA = Time Weighted AverageSTEL = Short Term Exposure LimitCEIL = Ceiling Exposure LimitREL = Recommended Exposure LimitWEEL = Workplace Environmental Exposure LimitIDLH = Immediate Dangerous to Life and HealthProduct code 11-076284 Date of last issue 04-01-1999 Page 4 of 8ics 409 Date of printing 01-11-2002 US-United States of America

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATIONOral LD50Dermal LD50Inhalation LC50SkinEyeChronic toxicity/carcinogenicityIngestion toxicity data is not available for this product.However, the acute oral LD50 for a similar product is1017 mg/kg in rats (moderately toxic). The acute oralLD50 for a component of this product is greater than3200 mg/kg in rats (slightly to practically non-toxic).Dermal toxicity data is not available for this product.However, the dermal LD50 for a similar product is4000 mg/kg in rabbits. A similar product was corrosiveto albino rabbits after a 4 hour occlusive contact.Inhalation toxicity data is not available for this product.However, the acute LC50 for a similar product is 17.0mg/L in rats (4 hr exposure). Exposure to methyl ethylketone at high concentrations has resulted in centralnervous system depression.Chronic dermal exposure effects for this product arenot known.In a 13-week study conducted by the NTP, a similarproduct was administered topically for 5 days per weekto rats at doses of 1.07 to 107 mg/rat and to mice atdoses of 0.357 to 35.7 mg/mouse. Necro- sis,inflammation, and epidermal hyperplasia wereobserved in both species. Since toxicity was seen atall dose levels, a no-observed adverse-effect levelcould not be determined in this study. The results ofthis study suggest that a similar product does notbecome systemically available and the primary toxicityassociated with contact to this chemical is limited tothe application site.This product can be expected to be corrosive to eyesbased upon tests with a similar product.Chronic ingestion effects of this product are not known.A component of this product was administered in thediet of rats (103 days) and dogs (90 days). TheNOAEL for both species was a 1% concentration(highest dose tested).Prolonged and/or repeated inhalation is expected to beseverely irritating to the respiratory system.This product is not classified as a carcinogen by IARC,NTP, OSHA or ACGIH. There is no mutagenicity datafor this product, however, information is available for asimilar product. Four in vitro mutagenicity assays wereconducted by the NTP in the presence and absence ofmetabolic activation. The similar product was notmutagenic in the Ames test. It was mutagenic inmouse lymphoma cells without metabolic activationand induced sister chromatid exchanges andchromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovarycells in the presence and absence of metabolicactivation. In the 13-week dermal study in mice, noincrease in micronucleated erythrocytes was seen inperipheral blood samples obtained at the end of thestudy.Product code 11-076284 Date of last issue 04-01-1999 Page 6 of 8ics 409 Date of printing 01-11-2002 US-United States of America
