DOWICIDE 1E ANTIMICROBIAL

1 of 1 products in this brand
DOWICIDE 1E ANTIMICROBIAL, DuPont’s o-phenylphenol brand, is highly soluble in organic solvents and oils but only slightly soluble in water. It is compatible with anionic emulsifiers but typically incompatible with other surfactants. Effective against a wide range of organisms, including Pseudomonas spp., Mycobacterium spp., molds, and fungi, it is used in metalworking fluids to control spoilage and preserve ceramic glazes, adhesives, and leather articles. Its balanced solubility characteristics enhance its versatility in industrial applications.

Safety & Health

Safety Information

Toxicological Properties

DOWICIDE 1E Antimicrobial is an eye irritant. The product is capable of causing moderate to severe conjunctival redness, moderate to severe swelling, slight to moderate iritis and slight to moderate corneal injury. It is neither a primary skin irritant nor a skin sensitizer. It is not absorbed through the skin in toxic amounts. The dusts are irritating to the upper respiratory tract.

Handling Precautions for Cleaning Up Spills or When Gross Contact is Likely

  • Eyes - Wear goggles or face shield when handling.
  • Skin - Avoid skin contact. Wear protective clothing as required by circumstances to prevent skin contact.
  • Inhalation - Avoid breathing dusts. If dusty atmospheres are encountered, wear a NIOSH-approved dust/mist respirator. Airborne concentrations should be maintained to levels below the recommended DuPont Industrial Hygiene Guide of 1 mg/m³

 First Aid Measures

  • Eye Contact - Contaminated eyes should be washed promptly and thoroughly with flowing water for at least 30 minutes. Medical attention should be obtained.
  • Skin Contact – Immediately wash any size exposure with non- abrasive soap and large quantities of water for 30 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Items that cannot be decontaminated, such as shoes, should be destroyed.
  • Inhalation – Anyone experiencing any noticeable ill effects from breathing the dust of this material should be removed to fresh air. Consult a physician.
