Exposure, Hazard and Safety Assessment
The following section describes possible exposures scenarios and hazards associated with 2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-octyl- .
The exposure assessment describes both the amount of and the frequency with which a chemical substance reaches a person, a population of people, or the environment.
Hazard refers to the inherent properties of a substance that make it capable of causing harm to human health or the environment.
The safety assessment reports the possibility of a harmful event arising from exposure to a chemical or physical agent under specific conditions.
Just because a substance may possess potentially harmful properties does not mean that it automatically poses a risk.
It is not possible to make that determination without understanding the exposure.
Human Health Effects Human Exposure Assessment
Consumer: 2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-octyl- is used in the production of agrochemicals, electronics, industrial chemicals and solvents.
Consumer exposure is most likely limited to low levels of 2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-octyl- present within final product formulations.
Worker: In industrial settings, 2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-octyl- is manufactured and handled in closed processes as much as possible, which ensures that worker exposure to 2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-octyl- is minimized.
When there is potential for exposure, during loading, unloading, sampling or during maintenance operations, exposure to 2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-octylcan be further minimized by the proper use of personal protective equipment.
Human Hazard Assessment 2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-octyl- is low for both acute and repeat dose toxicity.
It is neither mutagenic or genotoxic, is not associated with reproductive or developmental toxicity, and is not classified for carcinogenicity.
2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-octylcan cause serious eye damage and skin corrosion.
Human Health Safety Assessment
Consumer: 2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-octyl- is used in the production of agrochemicals, electronics, industrial chemicals and solvents.
Consumer exposure is most likely limited to low levels of 2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-octyl- present within final product formulations. 2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-octyl- is low for both acute and repeat dose toxicity.
N-OCTYL PYRROLIDONE is neither mutagenic or genotoxic, is not associated with reproductive or developmental toxicity, and is not classified for carcinogenicity.
Based on the low levels of 2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-octyl- present in consumer products and the low toxicity associated with the chemical, subsequent risk is unlikely.

Biodegradable
Lithographic dampening (fountain) solutions: N-OCTYL PYRROLIDONE is currently the preferred surfactant technology for alcohol-free, continuous dampening systems for web offset printing.
Performance in such a dynamic process is determined by the speed with which the bulk surfactant influences the interface.
The high dynamic surface activity of N-OCTYL PYRROLIDONE provides rapid wetting of the non-image area of the printing plate to ensure high print quality.
N-OCTYL PYRROLIDONE surfactant also provides low foam, low VOC, high flash points, and by minimization of ink build up, allows longer runs between clean up.
Fountain solution concentrates typically incorporate 2-5% N-OCTYL PYRROLIDONE surfactant.
Pigment dispersions: To provide stable mill bases with high tinctorial strength, Surfadone LP-100 surfactant functions to enhance the wettability of organic pigments.
At low use levels, N-OCTYL PYRROLIDONE surfactant permits high pigment loading with low viscosity and is particularly effective with phthalocyanine pigments.
Photoresist strippers: In non-aqueous formulations, 10-20% N-OCTYL PYRROLIDONE is used as a co-solvent, usually in conjunction with M-Pyrol (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) and BLO (γ-butyroIactone), to enhance performance by broadening the solvency range.
Printed circuit board cleaners: In aqueous formulations, 1-2% N-OCTYL PYRROLIDONE enhances wetting of aluminum and Teflon* substrates, and facilitates removal of polymerized rosin residues.
Waterborne adhesives: Achieving acceptable adhesion as well as good flow and leveling in water-based systems requires the use of high-performance wetting agents.
The low dynamic surface tensions possible through the use of Surfadone surfactants (specifically Surfadone LP-100 surfactant), together with their low VOC, support their use as high-performance, low-foaming wetting agents in these applications.
The low hydrophiliclypophilic balance (HLB) values of Surfadone surfactants indicate that they will not add to the water sensitivity of the finished product.
Specialty cleaning: In addition to providing high surface activity and wetting, N-OCTYL PYRROLIDONE combines a broad spectrum solvent capability with favorable safety features.
Consequently, they are frequently safer alternatives to hazardous solvents and provide solvency for a wide range of organic materials and resins.
In aqueous metal cleaners, 1-2% N-OCTYL PYRROLIDONE facilitates cleaning performancecand interacts with alkoxylated thiol surfactants to minimize odor.
N-OCTYL PYRROLIDONE is readily soluble in most organic solvents and exhibit unique solubility characteristics in water.
• In aqueous solution at ambient temperature, single-phase systems are obtained with N-OCTYL PYRROLIDONE concentrations < 0.002%.
