Chemical Composition/Ingredients
The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. Chemicals are associated with codes that define their health, physical and environmental hazards.This universal hazard communication system was developed to ensure that employers, employees and consumers are provided with adequate, practical, reliable and comprehensible information on the hazards of chemicals, so that they can take effective preventive and protective measure for their own health and safety.
Advanced
The GHS classifications for chemicals associated with products in this database may be viewed by selecting the "Advanced" button on the Chemical Ingredients tables. Since this is a work in progress, GHS classifications may not be shown for all chemical ingredients.-
Primary Chemical Name is the standard name assigned to a chemical substance.
ChemicalChemical Abstracts Service Registry Number is a unique identifier for a chemical and its synonyms. CAS numbers identify the chemical, but not its concentration or specific mixture. CAS Registry Numbers are assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society. For more information: www.cas.org
CAS No./ID
We have assigned "ID numbers" (with 6 leading zeros or nines, e.g., 000000-xx-x , 888888-xx-x) or 999999-xx-x) for blends and chemicals that do not have CAS numbers.Percent of chemical in preparation.

Acute health effects
From SDS:
Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
None.
Potential Health Effects
Eye Contact: Direct contact may cause stinging and tearing but no residual injury or discomfort.
Skin Contact: No significant irritation is expected.
Inhalation: Mists my cause upper respiratory irritation with coughing.
Ingestion: Swallowing may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Lactic acidosis, stupor and seizures have been reported following chronic ingestion of propylene glycol and in individuals overexposure to propylene glycol that have underlying kidney disease. This product contains less than 0.5 percent sodium nitrite. Swallowing sodium nitrite causes the formation of methemoglobin in the blood which may result in cyanosis, lowering of blood pressure, rapid heartbeat and severe headache. Does as low as 14 mg/kg have been reported to cause toxic effects. -
Chronic health effects
From SDS:
Repeated excessive ingestions may cause central nervous system effects. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause skin sensitization and an associated dermatitis in some individuals. -
Carcinogenicity
None of the components of this product are listed as a carcinogen or suspected carcinogen by IARC, NTP, ACGIH, or OSHA. -
Handling information
Avoid eye and prolonged or repeated skin contact. Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after use. Keep container away from open flames and excessive heat. Do not reuse empty containers unless properly cleaned. Empty containers retain product residue and may be dangerous. Do not cut, weld, drill, etc. containers, even empty. Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors or mists from process equipment operating at elevated temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions without any obvious ignition sources. Published "autoignition" or "ignition" temperatures cannot be treated as safe operating temperatures in chemical processes without analysis of the actual process conditions. Use of this product in elevated temperature applications should be thoroughly evaluated to assure safe operating conditions. Store away from excessive heat and oxidizers. -
Disposal information
Dispose of product in accordance with all local, state/provincial and federal regulations. -
California Prop. 65 Warning
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: This product does not contain substances known to the State of California to cause Cancer and/or Reproductive Harm.

First Aid
Eye Contact: Immediately flush with water, holding open eyelids, for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.Inhalation: No adverse effects are expected, however, if irritation or other symptoms develop, remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.Ingestion: If swallowed, get immediate medical advice by calling a poison control center or emergency department. If advice is not available and a significant quantity has been swallowed, give 1 glass of water or milk and induce vomiting. Take the victim and the product container to the nearest emergency treatment center or hospital. Do not attempt to induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.Notes to Physician: Following acute ingestion signs of toxicity are unlikely. Ethanol treatment as in ethylene glycol poisoning is inappropriate. There is no specific antidote. Treatment should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition. Monitor for acidosis and central nervous system effects. The principal toxic effects of sodium nitrite poisoning are vasodilation and/or methemoglobinemia. Hypotension with syncope and tachycardia are common findings. Coronary vasospasm due to acute withdrawal may be seen. Paradoxical bradycardia may occur rarely. Coronary ischemia and cerebrovascular disease can occur due to severe hypotension. Immediate life support measures should be provided because of associated hypotension, seizures, and methemoglobinemia-induced anoxia. Immediately contact a poison center or hospital emergency department for treatment advice.
