Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this material.
To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient.
Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an electrostatic charge and/or a
flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch
loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures. For
more information, refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106, 'Flammable and Combustible Liquids', National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA 77, 'Recommended Practice on Static Electricity', and/or the American Petroleum
Institute (API) Recommended Practice 2003, 'Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and
Stray Currents'.
General Storage Information: Do not store in open or unlabeled containers.
Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty container or it
may rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, 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, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. Empty containers should
be completely drained, properly closed, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of properly.
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 3), applicable exposure limits, job activities, and other
substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and selecting personal protective equipment. If
engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent exposure to harmful levels of this material, the
personal protective equipment listed below is recommended. The user should read and understand all instructions
and limitations supplied with the equipment since protection is usually provided for a limited time or under certain
circumstances.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below the
recommended exposure limits.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Eye/Face Protection: No special eye protection is normally required. Where splashing is possible, wear safety
glasses with side shields as a good safety practice.
Skin Protection: No special protective clothing is normally required. Where splashing is possible, select protective
clothing depending on operations conducted, physical requirements and other substances in the workplace.
Suggested materials for protective gloves include: Natural rubber, Neoprene, Nitrile Rubber, Polyvinyl Chloride
(PVC or Vinyl).
Respiratory Protection: Determine if airborne concentrations are below the recommended occupational exposure
limits for jurisdiction of use. If airborne concentrations are above the acceptable limits, wear an approved respirator
that provides adequate protection from this material, such as: Air-Purifying Respirator for Organic Vapors, Dusts
and Mists.
Use a positive pressure air-supplying respirator in circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.

evaluation of data for similar materials or product components.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity: The acute inhalation toxicity hazard is based on evaluation of data for similar materials
or product components.For additional information on the acute toxicity of the components, call the technical
information center.
ADDITIONAL TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION:
This product contains diethylene glycol (DEG). The estimated oral lethal dose is about 50 cc (1.6 oz) for an adult
human. DEG has caused the following effects in laboratory animals: liver abnormalities, kidney damage and blood
abnormalities. It has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans: liver abnormalities, kidney
damage, lung damage and central nervous system damage.
This product contains ethylene glycol (EG). The toxicity of EG via inhalation or skin contact is expected to be slight
at room temperature. The estimated oral lethal dose is about 100 cc (3.3 oz.) for an adult human. Ethylene glycol is
oxidized to oxalic acid which results in the deposition of calcium oxalate crystals mainly in the brain and kidneys.
Early signs and symptoms of EG poisoning may resemble those of alcohol intoxication. Later, the victim may
experience nausea, vomiting, weakness, abdominal and muscle pain, difficulty in breathing and decreased urine
output. When EG was heated above the boiling point of water, vapors formed which reportedly caused
unconsciousness, increased lymphocyte count, and a rapid, jerky movement of the eyes in persons chronically
exposed. When EG was administered orally to pregnant rats and mice, there was an increase in fetal deaths and birth
defects. Some of these effects occurred at doses that had no toxic effects on the mothers. We are not aware of any
reports that EG causes reproductive toxicity in human beings.
