Name CAS # % by Weight
Digitonin 11024-24-1 100
Toxicological Data on Ingredients: Digitonin:
ORAL (LD50): Acute: 51 mg/kg [Rat].
Section 3: Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects:
Very hazardous in case of ingestion. Hazardous in case of skin
contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation. Slightly hazardous
in case of skin contact (permeator). Severe over-exposure can result in death.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.
Repeated exposure to an highly toxic material may produce general
deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many human organs.
Section 4: First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Check
for and remove any contact lenses. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical
attention.
Skin Contact:After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.
Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and
non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and
groin. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek
medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Serious Skin Contact: Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with
an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation: Allow
the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Inhalation: Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen
tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is
difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Do
not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues
are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic material was ingested; the
absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as
a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Ingestion: Not available.

dust. Wear suitable protective clothing In case of insufficient ventilation,
wear suitable respiratory equipment If ingested, seek medical advice immediately
and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes
Storage: Keep
container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Highly
toxic or infectious materials should be stored in a separate locked safety
storage cabinet or room.
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering
Controls:
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure
to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal Protection: Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an
approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill: Splash
goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing
apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested
protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE
handling this product.
