Section 2 - Composition, Information on Ingredients

CAS#	Chemical Name	Percent	EINECS/ELINCS
118-55-8	Phenyl salicylate	99	204-259-2

Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: white crystalline powder.
Warning! May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. May cause adverse reproductive effects based upon animal studies.
Target Organs: Skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Two cases in NIOSHTIC found allergic skin reactions to phenyl salicylate (also known as salol). One case involved a hairdresser developing a violent eczematous reaction after a single application of a hand cream containing phenyl salicylate. Testing results on the hairdresser indicated strong positive reactions with the product and with salol, but not with the other ingredients. The intensity of the subject's reaction was indicated to be due to the high concentration of salol (10%) in the product. The authors conclude that sensitization to salol in this case is due to the protracted past use of sunscreens. The other case found dermatitis from phenyl salicylate in safety spectacle frames. The phenyl salicylate is an UV light absorber added to plastics to prevent deterioration by sunlight. Three cases of allergic contact dermatitis behind the ears resulting from wearing a specific brand of industrial safety spectacles were reported.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic: Adverse reproductive effects have been reported in animals. Prolonged and/or repeated skin exposure may cause allergic dermatitis.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Wash clothing before reuse.
Storage: Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
