Safety & Health

Health Effects

NINOL 49-CE is practically non-toxic orally (oral LD₅₀ = 12.2 g/kg) and causes slight skin and minimal eye irritation at 10% active.

Packaging & Availability

Packaging Type
Standard Packaging

NINOL 49-CE is available in bulk and 55 gallon steel open head unlined drums (net weight 420 lb/190 kg).

Storage & Handling

Storage & Handling
  • Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling NINOL 49-CE. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material.
  • It is recommended that NINOL 49-CE be stored in sealed containers and kept at temperatures not exceeding 105°F (41°C). As with all DEA amides, if overheating does occur, amide ester will be formed. To reverse the reaction, NINOL 49-CE should be stored at room temperature for approximately one week. Failure to do so may result in formulated products with decreased foam and low viscosity.
Workplace Exposure

Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors and mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace practices should be used to control these exposures.
