Emergency Overview
Off-White to White. Liquid. No serious effects anticipated under normal conditions of use. Leave area to breathe fresh air. Avoid
further overexposure. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Acute Potential Health Effects/ Routes of Entry
Inhalation : No serious effects anticipated under normal conditions of use.
Eyes : Direct contact may cause mild irritation.
Ingestion : May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, and vomiting.
Skin : May cause mild irritation.
Aggravated Medical Conditions
Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Chronic Health Effects : In animal studies, prolonged or repeated exposure to ethylene glycol (or its components) has been sug-
gested as a cause of reproductive effects and kidney and liver damage. It has caused birth defect in animal studies at high oral
doses. Prolonged and repeated to ethylene glycol (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of kidney and liver damage
in humans. Ethylene glycol is not expected to cause cancer in humans, since it did not cause cancer in laboratory animals and
is not listed as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the National Toxicology Program (NTP),
or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Long term inhalation exposure to vinyl acetate at high levels (600
ppm) caused nasal tumors in laboratory animals, some of which were shown to be carcinomas. However, there is no evidence that
vinyl acetate may cause cancer in humans. Fillers are encapsulated and not expected to be released from product under normal
conditions of use.

Skin contact : Clean area of contact thoroughly using soap and water. If irritation, rash or other disorders develop, get medical
attention immediately.
Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting unless advised by a physician. Call nearest Poison Control Center or Physician immediately.

6. acciDEntaL rELEaSE mEaSUrES
Transfer to appropriate container for disposal. Stop flow. Contain spill. Keep out of water courses. Absorb spill in sand, earth or
other suitable material. Transfer to appropriate container for disposal. Use appropriate protective equipment. Avoid contact with
material.
7. HanDLing anD StoragE
Handle in compliance with common hygienic practices. Clean hands thoroughly after handling. Keep from freezing. Do not use in
confined or poorly ventilated areas. Prevent inhalation of vapor, ingestion, and contact with skin eyes and clothing. Keep container
closed when not in use. Precautions also apply to emptied containers. Store in sealed containers in a dry, ventilated warehouse
location above freezing.
8. ExPoSUrE controLS/PErSonaL ProtEction
Respiratory protection : Not required under normal conditions of use.Wear appropriate, NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator with
combination particulate filter and vapor/gas removing cartridge when the ventilation is not adequate or if it is necessary to
abrade or grind surfaces coated with this product.
Hand protection : Use suitable impervious rubber or vinyl gloves and protective apparel to reduce exposure.
Eye protection : Wear appropriate eye protection.Wear chemical safety goggles and/or face shield to prevent eye contact. Do not
wear contact lenses. Do not touch eyes with contaminated body parts or materials. Have eye washing facilities readily available.
Skin and body protection : Prevent contact with shoes and clothing. Use rubber apron and overshoes.
Protective measures : Other equipment not normally required. Use professional judgment in the selection, care, and use.
Engineering measures : Not required under normal conditions of use. Use local exhaust when the general ventilation is inad-
equate.
