Simple Green Ž Automotive Cleaner is a mild eye irritant; mucous membranes may become irritated by concentrate-mist. Simple Green Ž Automotive Cleaner is not likely to irritate the skin in the majority of users. Repeated daily application to the skin without rinsing, or continuous contact of Simple Green Ž Automotive Cleaner on the skin may lead to temporary, but reversible, irritation. Explanation of Carcinogenicity:Mild eye irritant, non-mutagenic and non-carcinogenic. None of the ingredients in Simple GreenŽ Automotive Cleaner are regulated or listed as potential cancer agents by Federal OSHA, NTP, or IARC. Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:No aggravation of existing medical conditions is expected; dermal-sensitive users may react to dermal contact by Simple Green Ž Automotive Cleaner. ======================= First Aid Measures ======================= First Aid:Eye contact: Reddening may develop. Immediately rinse the eye with large quantities of cool water; continue 10-15 minutes or until the material has been removed; be sure to remove contact lenses, if present, and to lift upper and lower lids during rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation persists. Skin contact: Minimal effects, if any; rinse skin with water, rinse shoes and launder clothing before reuse. Reversible reddening may occur in some dermal-sensitive users; thoroughly rinse area and get medical attention if reaction persists. Swallowing: Essentially non-toxic. Give several glasses of water to dilute; do not induce vomiting. If stomach upset occurs, consult physician. Inhalation: Non-toxic. Exposures to concentrate-mist may cause mild irritation of nasal passages or throat; remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if irritation persists. ===================== Fire Fighting Measures ===================== Flash Point:Not flammable. Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:Not flammable. Extinguishing Media:Not flammable/nonexplosive. No special procedures required. Fire Fighting Procedures:None required. Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Simple Green Automotive Cleaner is stable, not flammable, and will not burn. ================== Accidental Release Measures ================== Spill Release Procedures:Recover usable material by convenient method; residual may be removed by wipe or wet mop. If necessary, unrecoverable material may be washed to drain with large quantities of water. Neutralizing Agent: ====================== Handling and Storage ====================== Handling and Storage Precautions:No special precautions are required. This product is non-hazardous for storage and transport according to the U.S. Department of Transportation Regulations. Other Precautions: ============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection ============= Respiratory Protection:No special precautions required except during large-scale spray applications where spray mist levels are high. Ventilation:No special ventilation is required during use. Large-scale uses indoors should provide an increased rate of air exchange. Protective Gloves:No special precautions required; rinse completely from skin after contact. Eye Protection:Caution, including reasonable eye protection, should always be used to avoid eye contact where splashing may occur. Other Protective Equipment:No special requirements under normal use conditions. Work Hygienic Practices:Wash or rinse hands before touching eyes or contact lenses. Follow standard hygienic practices for handling cleaning agents. Supplemental Safety and Health The Simple Green Automotive Cleaner formulation presents no health hazards to the user when used according to label directions for its intended purposes. Mild skin and eye irritation is possible (please see Eye contact and Skin contact in Section IV.). ================== Physical/Chemical Properties ================== Boiling Pt:100.6 °C (212 °F) Melt/Freeze Pt:-9 °C (16 °F) If product freezes, it will reconstitute without loss of efficacy when brought back to room temperature and agitated.

Appearance and Odor:Clear liquid. Detection: Simple GreenŽ Automotive Cleaner has a characteristic odor that is not indicative of any hazardous situation. Corrosion Rate: ================= Stability and Reactivity Data ================= Stability Indicator/Materials to Avoid:Stability Condition to Avoid:Nonreactive. Simple GreenŽ Automotive Cleaner is stable, even under fire conditions, and will not react with water or oxidizers. Hazardous polymerization will not occur. Conditions to Avoid Polymerization: =================== Toxicological Information =================== Toxicological Information:The information and conclusions cited in this section are based on data and testing of Simple GreenŽ. The data are directly applicable to Simple GreenŽ Automotive Cleaner because, except for the fragrance and dyes, it contains the same ingredients as Simple GreenŽ. Nonhuman Toxicity Acute Mortality Studies:Oral LD50 (rat): >5.0 g/kg body weight // Dermal LD50 (rabbit): >2.0 g/kg body weight Dermal Irritation: Only mild, but reversible, irritation was found in a standard 72-hr test on rabbits. A value of 0.2 (non-irritating) was found on a scale of 8. Eye Irritation: With or without rinsing with water, the irritation scores in rabbits at 24 hours did not exceed 15 (mild irritant) on a scale of 110. Subchronic dermal effects: No adverse effects, except reversible dermal irritation, were found in rabbits exposed to Simple GreenŽ (up to 2.0 g/kg/day for 13 weeks) applied to the skin of 25 males and 25 females. Only female body weight gain was affected. Detailed microscopic examination of all major tissues showed no adverse changes. Fertility Assessment by Continuous Breeding: The Simple GreenŽ formulation had no adverse effect on fertility and reproduction in CD-1 mice with continuous administration for 18 weeks, and had no adverse effect on the reproductive performance of their offspring. ===================== Ecological Information ===================== Ecological:Biodegradability:Like Simple GreenŽ, Simple GreenŽ Automotive Cleaner is readily decomposed by naturally occurring microorganisms. The biological oxygen demand (BOD), as a percentage of the chemical oxygen demand (COD), after 4, 7, and 11 days was 56%, 60%, and 70%, respectively. Per OECD Closed Bottle Test, Simple GreenŽ Automotive Cleaner meets OECD and EPA recommendations for ready biodegradability. In a standard biodegradation test with soils from three different countries, Butyl Cellosolve reached 50% degradation in 6 to 23 days, depending upon soil type, and exceeded the rate of degradation for glucose which was used as a control for comparison. Environmental Toxicity Information:Simple GreenŽ Automotive Cleaner is considered practically non-toxic per EPAs aquatic toxicity scale. ==================== Disposal Considerations ==================== Waste Disposal Methods:Simple GreenŽ Automotive Cleaner is fully water soluble and biodegradable and will not harm sewage-treatment microorganisms if disposal by sewer or drain is necessary. Dispose of in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws. =================== MSDS Transport Information =================== Transport Information:No special precautions are required. This product is non-hazardous for storage and transport according to the U.S. Department of Transportation Regulations. Simple GreenŽ Automotive Cleaner requires no special labeling or placarding to meet U.S. Department of Transportation requirements. UN Number: Not required Dangerous Goods Class: Nonhazardous ===================== Regulatory Information ===================== SARA Title III Information:The Butyl Cellosolve in Simple GreenŽ Automotive Cleaner is part of a chemical category (glycol ethers) regulated by the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (SARA, Title III, section 313); therefore, a reporting requirement exists. Federal Regulatory Information:Based upon chemical analysis, Simple GreenŽ Automotive Cleaner contains no known EPA priority pollutants, heavy metals, or chemicals listed under RCRA, CERCLA, or CWA. Analysis by TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) according to RCRA revealed no toxic organic or inorganic constituents.
