Health MC products have had extensive evaluation in both acute and long-term studies in a
number of species, including humans. Their many years of use attest to their safety in
a wide variety of applications. While the dust may cause mechanical irritation to the
skin and eyes under extreme conditions, the products are considered to present no
significant health hazard under normal handling conditions

Flammability Cellulose ether products are organic polymers that will burn when exposed to heat
and a sufficient oxygen supply. Fires can be extinguished by conventional means
avoiding any raising of dust by strong water jets. Dow recommends the use of water
spray, carbon dioxide, or powder extinguishers.

Handling During use or storage, safe handling is required to prevent dusts with air from
reaching explosive levels as is true with other organic materials of similar particle
size. When handling large quantities, local applicable regulations concerning the
prevention of dust explosions should be followed. Additionally, MC products, like
other organic chemicals, should not be stored next to peroxides or other oxidizing
agents.

Spills/Housekeeping Solutions of MC products are slippery. To prevent accidents, floor spills of dry
powder should be swept up dry. If the spill is a viscous solution, it should be
removed by further diluting with water before disposal.

Disposal Typically, MC cellulose ether products can be disposed of by industrial


incineration or in an approved landfill, providing regulations are observed.
Customers are advised to review their local, state, provincial, or national
regulations governing the disposal of waste materials to confirm the appropriate
means of disposal in their area.
