Specific Danger

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS :

Primary Route of Exposure

EYE X Skin X Inhalation X Ingestion

Effects of Overexposure

Acute :

Eyes May cause irritation, experienced as temporary discomport.

Skin Brief contact is not irritating. Prolonged contact, as with clothing

wetted material, may cause defatting of skin or irritation, seen as
local redness possible mild dicomport. Other than the potential
skin irritation effects noted above, acute (short terms) adverse
effects are not expected from brief skin contact.

Inhalation Vapors or mist, in excess of permissible concentrations, or

unusually high concentrations generated from spraying, heating
the material or as from exposure in poorly ventilated areas or
confined spaces, may cause irritation of the nose and throat,
headache, nausea and drowsiness. Inhalation may cause
dizziness, drowsiness, euphoria, loss of coordination,
disorientation, headache, nausea and vomiting. In poorly
ventilated areas or confined spaces, unconsciousness and
asphyxiation may result. Prolonged or repeated overexposure may
result in the absorption of potentially harmful amounts of material.

Ingestion Contains ethylene glycol, which are toxic when swallowed. A lethal
dose for an adult is 1 – 2 ml per kilogram, or about 4 ounces
(one-half cup). Symptoms include headache, weakness, confusion,
dizziness, staggering, slurred speech, loss of coordination,
faintness, nausea and vomiting, increased heart rate, decreased
blood pressure, difficulty breathing and seeing, pulmonary edema,
unconsciousness, convulsion, collapse, and coma. Symptoms may
be delayed. Decreased urine output and kidney failure may also
occur. Severe poisoning may cause death.

Sensitization Properties Unknown

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

EYES :

Flush eyes with plenty of water for several minutes. Get medical attention if eye irritation
develops or persists.

SKIN :

Wash skin with plenty of soap and water for several minutes. Get medical attention if skin
irritation develops or persists.

INHALATION :

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, clear person's airway and give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, qualified medical personnel may administer oxygen. Get
medical attention immediately.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability : Combustible at high temperature.

Auto – Ignition Temperature : 371 °C

Flash Point : CLOSED CUP : 177 °C, OPEN CUP : 165.5 °C

Flammable Limits : LOWER : 0.9 %

UPPER : 9.2 %

Recommended Fire Extinguishing Agents :

Use water spray, foam, dry chemical or Carbon Dioxide to extinguish flames. Use water
spray to cool fire exposed containers.

Unusual or Explosive Hazards : None

Protective Equipment for Fire Fighters :

Wear full protective clothing and breathing apparatus. Approach fire from upwind to avoid
hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition products.

6. ACCIDENTIAL REALEASE MEASURES

Ventilate area. Avoid breathing vapor. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment,
including appropriate respiratory protection. Contain spill if possible. Wipe up or absorb on
suitable material and shovel up. Prevent entry into sewers and waterways. Avoid contact
with skin, eyes or clothing.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING :
Minimum feasible handling temperatures should be maintained.

STORAGE :
Periods of exposure to high temperatures should be minimized. Water contamination should
be avoided.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering Measures :

Provide exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentration of vapors below the threshold
limit value. Ensure that eyewash and safety showers are near the work stations.

Eye/Face Protection :
Safety glasses, chemical type goggles, or face shield recommended to prevent eye contact.

Skin Protection :
Workers should wash exposed skin several times daily soap and water. Soiled work clothing
should be laundered or dry-cleaned.

Respiratory Protection :
Airborne concentrations should be kept to lowest levels possible. If vapor, mist or dust is
generated and the occupational exposure limit of the product, or any component of the
product, is exceeded, use appropriate NIOSH or MSHA approved air purifying or air supplied
respirator after determining the airborne concentration of the contaminant. Air supplied
respirators should always be worn when airborne concentration of the contaminant or
oxygen content is unknown.

Ventilation :
Local exhaust ventilation recommended if generating vapor, dust, or mist. If exhaust
ventilation is not available or inadequate, use MSHA or NIOSH approved respiratory as
appropriate.

Exposure Limit for the Total Product :

None established for product.
