4. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
NATURE OF HAZARD
INHALATION:
Negligible hazard at normal temperatures (up to 38 deg C).
Elevated temperatures or mechanical action may form vapours, mists or
fumes which may be irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs.
High vapour concentrations are irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and
lungs; may cause headaches and dizziness; may be anesthetic and may cause
other central nervous system effects.
Avoid breathing vapours or mists.
EYE CONTACT:
Slightly irritating, but will not injure eye tissue.
SKIN CONTACT:
Low toxicity.
Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate the skin.
INGESTION:
Moderately toxic.
CHRONIC:
This product contains ethylene glycol (EG). Repeated high dose exposure to
ethylene glycol by ingestion has caused kidney damage, neurological effects,
degeneration of the liver and changes in blood chemistry and circulating
blood cells in laboatory animals. Repeated overexposure to ethylene glycol
has the potential to cause similar toxic effects in humans.

Material Safety Data Sheets Page 3 of 6
Ethylene glycol has been shown to cause developmental and reproductive
effects at high dose levels in laboratory animals. These findings are of
uncertain significance to humans, but precautionary measures should be taken
to avoid exposure during pregnancy.
ACUTE TOXICITY DATA:
Based on animal and human testing data from similar materials and
products, the acute toxicity of this product is expected to be:
Oral: LD50 > 1300 mg/kg (human)
LD50 > 8500 mg/kg (rat)
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT:
ACGIH recommends:
For Ethylene Glycol aerosol, a ceiling limit of 39.4 ppm (100 mg/m3).
Local regulated limits may vary.
______________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION:
In emergency situations use proper respiratory protection to immediately
remove the affected victim from exposure. Administer artificial
respiration if breathing has stopped. Keep at rest. Call for prompt
medical attention.
EYE CONTACT:
Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. If
irritation persists, get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT:
Flush with large amounts of water. Use soap if available.
Remove severely contaminated clothing (including shoes) and launder
before reuse.
If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
INGESTION:
If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Get prompt medical
attention.
______________________________________________________________________________
6. PREVENTIVE AND CORRECTIVE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
The selection of personal protective equipment varies, depending upon
conditions of use.
In open systems where contact is likely, wear safety goggles, chemical-
resistant overalls, and chemically impervious gloves.
Where only incidental contact is likely, wear safety glasses with side

shields. No other special precautions are necessary provided skin/eye
contact is avoided.
Where concentrations in air may exceed the occupational exposure limits
given in Section 4 and where engineering, work practices or other means
of exposure reduction are not adequate, approved respirators may be
necessary to prevent overexposure by inhalation.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control
emissions near the source. Laboratory samples should be handled in a
fumehood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces.
HANDLING, STORAGE AND SHIPPING:
Keep containers closed. Handle and open containers with care.
Store in a cool, well ventilated place away from incompatible materials.
Poison. Do not drink this material.
In keeping with good personal hygiene practices, wash hands thoroughly
after handling the material.
Store and load at normal (up to 38 deg C) temperature and at atmospheric
pressure.
Empty containers may contain product residue. Do not pressurize
cut, heat, or weld empty containers. Do not reuse empty containers
without commercial cleaning or reconditioning.
LAND SPILL:
Eliminate source of ignition. Keep public away. Prevent additional
discharge of material, if possible to do so without hazard.
Prevent spills from entering sewers, watercourses or low areas. Contain
spilled liquid with sand or earth.
Recover by pumping or by using a suitable absorbant.
Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material. Ensure disposal in
compliance with government requirements and ensure conformity to local
disposal regulations. Notify the appropriate authorities immediately.
Take all additional action necessary to prevent and remedy the adverse
effects of the spill.
WATER SPILL:
Keep public and other shipping traffic away. Prevent additional
discharge of material, if possible to do so without hazard.
Consult health information and protection section regarding possible
hazards.
Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material. Ensure disposal in
compliance with government requirements and ensure conformity to local
disposal regulations. Notify the appropriate authorities immediately.
Take all additional action necessary to prevent and remedy the adverse
effects of the spill.

GENERAL HAZARDS:
Low Hazard; liquids may burn upon heating to temperatures at or above the
flash point.
Toxic gases will form upon combustion.
FIRE FIGHTING:
Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel.
Shut off fuel to fire.
Use alcohol type foam, dry chemical or water spray to extinguish fire.
Respiratory and eye protection required for fire fighting personnel.
Avoid spraying water directly into storage containers due to danger of
boilover.
A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) should be used for all indoor
fires and any significant outdoor fires. For small outdoor fires, which
may easily be extinguished with a portable fire extinguisher, use of an
SCBA may not be required.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide under thermal decomposition.
