Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes.The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully investigated.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. May result in corneal injury.
Causes redness and pain.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of appreciable amounts of vapor under normal conditions is unlikely because of the materials low vapor pressure. Hazardous concentrations may develop at elevated temperatures.
Chronic:
No information found.

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 immediately.
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.
Notes to Physician:

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. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.

Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity:
Estimated Koc value = 109.1. This value suggests that episolon-Caprolactone will show high mobility in soil. Estimated BCF value = 4.94. This values indicates that bioconcentration of this product in aquatic organisms and sediment should not be important.
Epsilon-Caprolactone exists in the vapor phase in the ambient atmosphere and will be degraded slowly by the reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals.
