Date November 2, 1982
Subject MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS
J*."
Enclosed is a draft MSDS for CA-514 and a draft MSDS for Cresylic Acids in general. CA-514 is a high-volume blend that warrants a single sheet. However, after discussions with several of you 1 feel the remaining blends can be handled with a single sheet. (An USDS jhea already, been prepared fdr CA-510.)
Please review these sheets and return comments to me by November 17.

This product is combustible.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Cool tank with water if exposed to fire.
Emits toxic fumes when heated.
5. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
FIRST AID
Immediately begin flushing with large amounts of water and continue at least EYES: for 15 minutes while transporting for emergency medical attention.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately flush with large amounts of water, then wash affected areas with soap and water. Isopropanol can be used to further remove phenol^. Seek medical attention as soon as possible.
INHALATION: Remove from exposure. Administer O2, by nasal cannulae if available. Administer artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Seek immediate medical attention.
Drink large amounts ot water or weak sodium bicarbonate solution. Do not induce INGESTION; vomiting, if spontaneous vomiting occurs, precautions should be taken to avoid
asDiration. Seek immediate medical attention.
NATURE OF HAZARD
EYES: Causes severe burns.
SKIN: Causes severe burns. Readily absorbed through the skin resulting in systemic toxicity. Skin exposures can be fatal.
INHALATION: Corrosive. Causes burning of mouth and throat, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
