3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
APPEARANCE: Translucent clear to amber
PHYSICAL STATE: Liquid
ODOR: Glycol odor
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Prolonged exposure to product mist or vapors may cause respiratory irritation. Exposure to vapors
generated at high temperatures, may cause respiratory irritation.
INHALATION: Solvent vapor can be harmful. May cause central nervous system depression, respiratory tract irritation or
headache.
EYE CONTACT: Contact may result in slight eye irritation
SKIN CONTACT: Slightly irritating. Prolonged or repeated liquid contact can cause drying of the skin.
INGESTION: Dangerous by ingestion. Harmful or fatal if swallowed.
CARCINOGENICITY: Not Listed in IARC, OSHA, or NTP
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Remove victim immediately from source of exposure. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues. For
breathing difficulties oxygen may be necessary. If breathing stops, provide artificial respiration.
EYE CONTACT: Flush immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms or irritation persist seek medical attention
promptly.
SKIN CONTACT: Wash contact areas with soap and water. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Get medical attention if
irritation persists.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING get medical attention.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: >200篎 COC (Cleveland Open cup)
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Not Determined
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not Determined
FLAMMABILTY CLASSIFICATION: NFPA Flammability =1
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Special Fire Fighting Procedure: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed surfaces and to protect
personnel. Isolate "fuel" supply from fire. Avoid spraying water directly into storage containers due to danger of scattering and
spreading the fire. Dike for water control. Do not enter confined fire space without full bunker gear (helmet with face shield, bunker
coats, gloves and rubber boots), including a positive pressure NIOSH approved shelf-contained breathing apparatus.
UNUSUAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD: Water may cause frothing. Containers exposed to intense heat from fires should be
cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure buildup, which could result in container rupture. Container areas exposed to direct
flame contact should be cooled with large quantities of water as needed to prevent weakening of container structure. "Empty"
containers retain product residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE,
SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND, OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT , FLAME, SPARKS, STATIC ELECTRICITY, OROTHER
SOURCES OF IGNITION; THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. Empty drums should be completely drained,
properly bunged and promptly returned to a drum re-conditioner, or properly disposed of.
FIRE FIGHTING MEDIA: CO2, dry chemical, sand, dolomite, foam, water fog, (water may cause frothing)
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Oxides of carbon
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL PROCEDURES:
-Remove sources of heat or ignition.
-Provide adequate ventilation
-Contain spill to minimize contaminated area and facilitate salvage or disposal
-Flush area sparingly with water or use absorbent material.
-Small Spills: Keep product out of sewers and watercourses by diking or impounding. Take up with noncombustible
absorbent such as fullers earth or sand. Place into containers for later disposal.
-Large Spills: Contain spill in earthen dikes for later recover. Control ignition sources around spill area. Keep away from
hot metal surfaces. Report spills as required to appropriate authorities. Report spill to Coast Guard toll free number (800)
424-8802 for spills that could reach any waterway including intermittent dry creeks. In case of accident or road spill notify
Sinclair Oil Corporation at (888) 340-3466 or Chemtrec Emergency Spill (800) 365-7300
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE / HANDLING: Comply with all applicable OSHA, NFPA and consistent local requirements. Store in properly closed
containers that are appropriately labeled and in a cool well-ventilated area. Do not cut, drill, grind or weld on empty containers
since they may contain explosive residues. Do not pressurize or expose to heat or open flame, strong acids, strong oxidizers or
other sources of ignition. Avoid repeated or prolonged skin contact or contact with your eyes. Exercise good personal hygiene
including removal of soiled clothing and prompt washing with soap and water.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS, RESPIRATORY & PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Local or general exhaust required when using at elevated temperatures that generate vapors or
mists. Use in well-ventilated confined spaces, mechanical ventilation may be required to keep levels of certain components below
mandated standards. Responsible individuals should evaluate the concentrations of specific regulated chemicals.
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Wear body-covering work clothes to avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Launder soiled
work clothes before reuse. Safety goggles, or chemical splash goggles if splashing is anticipated. Wear oil impervious
gloves if frequent or prolonged contact is expected.
RESPIRATOR: Not normally required for routine operations. Approved organic vapor chemical cartridge or supplied air
respirators should be worn when excessive vapors or mists are generated. Observe respirator protection factor criteria
cited in ANSI Z88.2. Self-contained breathing apparatus should be used for fire fighting.
