SAFETY DATA SHEET
Methanol has caused birth defects in laboratory animals, but only when inhaled at extremely high vapor
concentrations. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain.
CARCINOGEN STATUS: There is no evidence from animal studies to suggest methanol is a carcinogen.

Ethanol:
ACUTE TOXICITY:
LD50 Rat oral 7060 mg/kg
LC50 Rat inhalation 20000 ppm/ 10 hr
SKIN CORROSION / IRRITATION: Skin irritant.
SERIOUS EYE DAMAGE / IRRITATION: Eye irritant. Will cause burning and stinging.
RESPIRATORY OR SKIN SENSITIZATION: Ethanol has been shown to have a weak skin sensitizing potential
in a very small percentage of the population.
ASPIRATION HAZARD: No data.
MUTAGENIC DATA: No data.
IMMUNOTOXICITY: No data.
NEUROTOXICITY: The clinical features of ethanol intoxication in a nontolerant individual are related to blood
alcohol levels: at 50 to 150 mg/dL (0.05 to 0.15%), there is mild intoxication: slight impairment of visual acuity,
muscular incoordination, and reaction time; and mood personality, and behavioral changes; at 150 to 300 mg/dL
(0.15 to 0.30%), moderate intoxication occurs, resulting in visual impairment, sensory loss, muscular
incoordination, slowed reaction time, and slurred speech; at 300 to 500 mg/dL (0.30 to 0.50%), there is severe
intoxication characterized by marked muscular incoordination, blurred or double vision, sometimes stupor and
hypothermia, vomiting and nausea, and occasional hypoglycemia and convulsions; and at > 400 mg/dL (0.40%),
there are coma, respiratory depression, hypotension and hypothermia, and death from respiratory or circulatory
failure or as a result of aspiration of stomach contents in the absence of a gag reflex.
DEVELOPMENTAL/REPRODUCTIVE: Prenatal exposure to ethanol (as alcoholic beverages) is associated
with a distinct pattern of congenital malformations that have been collectively termed the fetal alcohol syndrome.
There have been no reports of fetal alcohol syndrome as a result of industrial exposure by the oral, dermal, or
inhalation routes.
CARCINOGEN STATUS: Not classifiable as a human carcinogen.

2-Butoxyethanol:
ACUTE TOXICITY:
LD50 Rat oral 470 - 3,000 mg/kg
LD50 Rabbit oral 0.32 g/kg
LD50 Rabbit dermal 400 mg/kg
LC50 Rat (male) inhalation 486 ppm/4 hr
SKIN CORROSION / IRRITATION: This chemical has moderate acute toxicity and it is irritating to the eyes
and skin.
SERIOUS EYE DAMAGE / IRRITATION: May cause severe irritation and corneal injury.
RESPIRATORY OR SKIN SENSITIZATION: It is not a skin sensitizer.
ASPIRATION HAZARD: No data.
MUTAGENIC DATA: Although the results of in vitro tests for mutagenicity of 2-butoxyethanol were
inconsistent, the absence of structural alerts and the negative findings from in vivo studies indicate that
2-butoxyethanol is not mutagenic.
IMMUNOTOXICITY: No data.
NEUROTOXICITY: No data.
DEVELOPMENTAL/REPRODUCTIVE: In animals, adverse effects on reproduction and development have not
been observed at less than toxic doses. Did not cause birth defects in laboratory animals.
