6. Accidental release measures:
Personal precautions: Do not get in eyes. Do not take internally. Avoid skin contact. Prevent prolonged or repeated breathing of
vapor or spray mists. Keep unnecessary people away. Floor may be slippery, use care to avoid falling. Dike and contain material
with inert material (e.g. earth, sand). Transfer liquid and contaminated diking material to separate containers for disposal.
Environmental precautions: Keep spills and cleaning run-offs out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water. Comply with local,
national and state regulations.
7. Handling and Storage:
Keep closure tight and containers upright to prevent leakage. Precautionary labeling: KEEP FROM FREEZING". Product is non-
combustible.
8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection:
General protection and hygienic measures: Avoid contact with skin. Do not get in eyes. Do not take internally. Avoid breathing
vapors or spray mists. Use in well-ventilated areas. Hand/skin protection: Wear neoprene or rubber gloves to prevent skin contact.
Wash hands before eating, smoking or using the wash room. Food or beverages should not be consumed anywhere this product is
handled or stored. Respiratory protection: None required if good ventilation is maintained. Wear respirator suitable for
concentrations and of contaminants encountered. Use approved chemical/mechanical filters designed to remove particulates in open
and restricted ventilation areas. Use approved airline type respirators or hoods in confined areas. Eye/face protection: Use approved
safety eyewear including side shields, chemical goggles and face shields.
9. Physical and Chemical Properties:
Forms: Viscous liquid, slight ammoniacal odor
Density: 8.8 lbs./gal.
Solubility in water: Complete colloidal dispersion
10. Stability and Reactivity:
Stability: Hazardous polymerization will not occur. Stable. Hazardous reactions: Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents (e.g.
nitric acid, permanganates), etc.
11. Toxicological Information:
Ethylene glycol Oral LD50 (rat) = 8.54 g/kg
12. Ecological Information:
Well-diluted product would have no environmental consequences. Less than 5% ethylene glycol present in this product yields the
following environmental fate considerations: Ethylene glycol is 100% volatile. Once volatilized it will react in the atmosphere with
hydroxyl radicals with a half-life on about 1 day. For accidental spills, note that ethylene glycol in typical river water at 20癈 was
found to completely degrade in 3 days. At temperatures of 8癈, degradation occurred in 7 days. Toxicity to fish: LD50 Carrasisus
auratus (goldfish) greater than 5,000 gl/L/24 hour. Modified ASTM D 1345. Algea:(Chlorella pyrenoidosa) 180,000 mg/L toxic.
13. Disposal considerations:
The coating and any contaminated diking material should be thoroughly air dried and collected into drums. The drums should then be
sealed and properly labeled with waste designation and land filled or incinerated according to local and national regulations.
