Immediately give a glass of water. First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor. If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down, lower than their hips to help avoid possible aspiration ofvomitus.
EYE■ If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
Wash out immediately with fresh running water. Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper andlower lids. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN■ Any material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis should not be induced mechanically or pharmacologically. Mechanical means should be used if it is considered necessary to evacuate the stomach contents; these include gastric lavage after endotrachealintubation. If spontaneous vomiting has occurred after ingestion, the patient should be monitored for difficult breathing, as adverse effects ofaspiration into the lungs may be delayed up to 48 hours. Treat symptomatically. for simple esters:--------------------------------------------------------------BASIC TREATMENT--------------------------------------------------------------
Establish a patent airway with suction where necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilation as necessary. Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min. Monitor and treat, where necessary, for pulmonary oedema . Monitor and treat, where necessary, for shock. DO NOT use emetics. Where ingestion is suspected rinse mouth and give up to 200 ml water (5 ml/kg recommended) for dilution wherepatient is able to swallow, has a strong gag reflex and does not drool.
--------------------------------------------------------------ADVANCED TREATMENT--------------------------------------------------------------
Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in unconscious patient or where respiratory arrest has occurred. Positive-pressure ventilation using a bag-valve mask might be of use. Monitor and treat, where necessary, for arrhythmias. Start an IV D5W TKO. If signs of hypovolaemia are present use lactated Ringers solution. Fluid overload might create complications. Drug therapy should be considered for pulmonary oedema. Hypotension with signs of hypovolaemia requires the cautious administration of fluids. Fluid overload might create complications. Treat seizures with diazepam. Proparacaine hydrochloride should be used to assist eye irrigation.

Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidising acids may cause a vigorous reaction with esters that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Esters may be incompatible with aliphatic amines and nitrates.
Store in original containers. Keep containers securely sealed.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers. Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks. Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.

TOXICITY AND IRRITATION■ For Group B aliphatic esters of mono-alcohols and diacids (diesters)According to a classification scheme described by the American Chemistry Council' Aliphatic Esters Panel, Group B substances are comprisedof aliphatic esters derived from linear diacids and monofunctional alcohols. The diacids include maleic (C4), adipic (C6), azelaic (C9) and sebacic(C10) acid. The monofunctional alcohols most common in the diesters are in the C8 to C13 carbon range, although methyl, isopropyl and butyloccur in some diesters. Due to the physicochemical properties of the diesters (e.g., viscosity, pour point), they have widespread applications as lubricants, solvents, andplasticisers. The linear diacid portion of the diester contributes to the good viscosity index while branching in the alcohol portion provides goodpour point characteristics. Because diesters have good polarity characteristics, they are useful as solvents. Acute toxicity: Most of the diesters in Group B are higher alkyl (>C8) adipates, azelates and sebacates and these diesters generally have a loworder of toxicity. Oral rat LD50 values ranged from >2 g/kg to >64 g/kg. Metabolism of the diesters in animals is expected to lead to the generation of corresponding diacids: namely, maleic, adipic, azelaic and sebacicacid and the corresponding linear or branched alcohol (e.g., 2-ethylhexyl, I-methylheptyl, isooctyl, isononyl, isodecyl, tridecyl alcohols). Thesediacids and alcohols can further be metabolized and conjugated to products that are excreted in the urine The diacids and alcohols have a loworder of toxicityRepeated Dose Toxicity. Data on repeated dose toxicity have been reported for diisononyl adipate and tridecyl adipate. In 90-day toxicity studies,rats were administered diisononyl adipate (CAS 33703-08-l) in the diet at levels equivalent to 0,50, 150 and 500 mg/kg/day. The NOAEL was 500mg/kg/day. Feeding studies were also carried out in beagle dogs for 13 weeks at dietary concentrations of 0,0.3, 1 and 3% (increased to 6% atweek 9). The NOAEL was determined to be 1% in the diet or approximately 274 mg/kg/day. In another 13-week study, ditridecyl adipate was welltolerated in rats given dermal doses of 800 and 2000 mg/kg/day. For adipic acid di-C7-9 branched and linear alkyl ester (CAS 685 15-75-3), rats were fed 0,O. 1,0.5 and 2.5% of the test substance in the diet. Nosignificant signs of toxicity were observed in male and female rats administered the test material in the diet at concentrations up to 2.5% for aperiod of 13 weeks. The NOAEL was 2.5% for both sexes (males -1300 mg/kg; females -1800 mg/kg). In the 90-day dietary studies with2-ethylhexyl adipate (CAS 103-23-l), the NOAEL was -300 mg/kg/day in rats and -230 mg/kg/day in mice. The LOAEL was -600 mg/kg/day in rats
and -460 mg/kg/day in mice. Hepatic hypertrophy and increased peroxisomal enzyme activity occurred in rats and mice; however, there were no
adverse effects on the liver. Reproductive toxicity: Di-2-ethylhexyl adipate (DEHA)(CAS 103-23-l) has been evaluated for reproductive effects in a one-generation study. Testdiets, up to 1080 mg/kg/day, were fed continuously throughout the study (18-19 weeks of exposure). No effects were seen on male or femalefertility. However, at the highest dose, there was a reduction in body weight in the dams, and reduction in offspring body weight, total litter weightand litter size. The NOAEL and LOAEL for this study was 170 and 1080 mg/kg/day, respectively. In 13-week dermal studies with ditridecyl adipate,there was no sperm morphological changes observed in male rats treated at levels of 2000 mg/kg. Increases in organ weight of the epididymidesand uterus were observed at dermal exposure to 2000 mg/kg but not at 800 mg/kg. In a 19-week oral feeding study with sebacic acid, bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester (CAS 122~62-3), no adverse reproductive effects were reported for this material. Dibutyl maleate has been evaluated in anOECD reproductive/developmental toxicity screening test (oral gavage) and no adverse effects on reproduction were reported. Since these four materials cover the carbon number range of C12-C32 for the diesters and because of the chemical similarity of the alkyl diesters,the available reproductive toxicity data should be sufficient for read-across assessment of most of the other diesters in Group B. Developmental toxicity: No evidence of developmental toxicity was observed at dose levels of 1000 and 4000 mg/kg/day after oral gavage of adipicacid, di-C7-9 branched and linear alkyl ester (CAS 685 15-75-3). Slight maternal toxicity (reduced body weight) and embryotoxicity (reduced foetalweight) was observed at the highest dose (7000 mg/kg/day). The NOAEL for maternal and developmental toxicity was 4000 mg/kg/day. Noadverse developmental effects were reported for dibutyl maleate in an OECD reproductive/developmental screening studyThe developmental toxicity has also been evaluated for adipic acid, bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester (CAS 103-23-l) by dietary exposure. Pregnant ratsadministered 2-ethylhexyl adipate in the diet throughout gestation showed reduced body weight at dietary equivalent doses of 1080 mg/kg/day. At1080 mg/kg/day, implantation fetal loss was evident; however, no gross, skeletal or visceral abnormalities were observed. LOAEL was 1080mg/kg/day and NOAEL was 170 mg/kg/day (developmental toxicity). The developmental toxicity data from these three studies provide sufficientdata for the read-across assessment of most of the other diesters in Group B due to their chemical structural similarities. Genotoxicity: Adipic acid diisononyl ester and sebacic acid bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester] were shown to be negative in the Ames assay. In addition,diisononyl adipate was negative in the mouse lymphoma assay. Adipic acid, bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester has also been evaluated for mutagenicity andwas found to be negative in both the Ames and mouse lymphoma assays. It has also been reported that dibutyl maleate (CAS 105- 76-0) isnegative in the Ames assay
Adipic acid, ditridecyl ester (CAS 16958-92-2) was negative in the micronucleus assay. Adipic acid bis(2- ethylhexyl) ester (CAS 103-23-l), alsodid not cause chromosomal aberrations in the Chinese hamster ovary cell assay or the mouse micronucleus test . Since these two adipatescover the carbon number range of C22-C32 for the diesters, it is unlikely that the substances in Group B are chromosomal mutagens. In addition,dibutyl maleate (C12) has been shown to be negative in the mouse micronucleus test in vivo. The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produceconjunctivitis. The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production ofvesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin.
Containers may still present a chemical hazard/ danger when empty. Return to supplier for reuse/ recycling if possible.
If container can not be cleaned sufficiently well to ensure that residuals do not remain or if the container cannot be used to store the sameproduct, then puncture containers, to prevent re-use, and bury at an authorised landfill. Where possible retain label warnings and MSDS and observe all notices pertaining to the product.
Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/ or territory. Each user must refer to laws operating in theirarea. In some areas, certain wastes must be tracked. A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:
ReductionReuseRecyclingDisposal (if all else fails)
This material may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make it unsuitable for its intended use. If it has beencontaminated, it may be possible to reclaim the product by filtration, distillation or some other means. Shelf life considerations should also beapplied in making decisions of this type. Note that properties of a material may change in use, and recycling or reuse may not always beappropriate.
DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains. It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal. In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and these should be considered first. Where in doubt contact the responsible authority. Recycle wherever possible. Consult manufacturer for recycling options or consult local or regional waste management authority for disposal if no suitable treatment ordisposal facility can be identified. Dispose of by: burial in a land-fill specifically licenced to accept chemical and / or pharmaceutical wastes or incineration in a licencedapparatus (after admixture with suitable combustible material). Decontaminate empty containers. Observe all label safeguards until containers are cleaned and destroyed.
