SIGNS AND SYMPTOMSOF EXPOSURE:
3
SYMPTOMS OR EYE IRRITATION INCLUDE PAIN, TEARING, REDDENING AND SWELLING. SYMPTOMS OF
SKIN IRRITATION INCLUDE REDDENING, SWELLING, RASH AND REDNESS. SYMPTOMS OF RESPIRATORY
IRRITATION INCLUDE RUNNY NOSE, SORE THROAT, COUGHING, CHEST DISCOMFORT, SHORTNESS OF
BREATH, AND REDUCED LUNG FUNCTION. SYMPTOMS OF GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION INCLUDE
SORE THROAT, ABDOMINAL PAIN, NAUSEA, VOMITING AND DIARRHEA. BASED ON THE PRESENCE OF
COMPONENT 2 CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION MAY BE EVIDENCED BY HEADACHE,
DIZZINESS, NAUSEA AND SYMPTOMS OF INTOXICATION; IN EXTREME CASES, UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND
DEATH MAY OCCUR. SYMPTOMS OF CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE INCLUDE LOSS OF MEMORY, LOSS OF
INTELLECTUAL ABILITY AND LOSS OF COORDINATION. CONTACT WITH LIQUID MAY PRODUCE FREEZING
EFFECTS.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
PREEXISTING EYE, SKIN OR REISPIRATORY DISORDERS MAY BE AGGREAVATED. IMPAIRED CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM FUNCTIONS FROM PREEXISTING DISORDERS MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
TO THIS PRODUCT.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
IF INHALED:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF NOT BREATHING. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
EYE CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH LOTS OF RUNNING WATER FOR 15 MINUTES, LIFTING UPPER AND
LOWER LIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST.
SKIN CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY WASH SKIN WITH LOTS OF SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND
SHOES; WASH BEFORE REUSE. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS AFTER WASHING.
INGESTION:
DILUTE WITH TWO GLASSES OF WATER UNLESS THE VICTIM IS UNCONSCIOUS OR VERY DROWSY.
INDUCE VOMITING BY GIVING TWO TABLESPOONS IPECAC OR BY TOUCHING A FINGER TO THE BACK OF
THE VICTIM'S THROAT. KEEP THE VICTIM'S HEAD BELOW THE HIPS TO PREVENT ASPIRATION INTO THE
LUNGS. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN, HOSPITAL OR POISON CONTROL CENTER AND / OR TRANSPORT TO AN
EMERGENCY FACILITY IMMEDIATELY.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN:
COMPONENT 2 ETHYLENE GLYCOL MAY CAUSE KIDNEY DAMAGE AND METABOLIC ACIDOSIS. ETHANOL
IS ANTIDOTAL, AND ITS EARLY ADMINISTRATION MAY BLOCK THE FORMATION OF NEPHROTOXIC
METABOLITES OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL IN THE LIVER. ETHANOL SHOULD BE GIVEN INTRAVENOUSLY, AS A
5% SOLUTION IN SODIUM BICARBONATE, AT A RATE OF ABOUT 10ml ETHANOL PER HOUR. A DESIRED
THERAPEUTIC LEVEL OF ETHANOL IN BLOOD IS 100mg/dl. HEMODIALYSIS MAYBE REQUIRED.
PULMONARY EDEMA WITH HYPOXEMIA HAS BEEN DESCRIBED IN A NUMBER OF PATIENTS FOLLOWING
POISONING WITH ETHYLENE GLYCOL. THE MECHANISM OF PRODUCTION HAS NOT BEEN ELUCIDATED,
BUT IT APPEARS TO BE NONCARDIOGENIC IN ORIGIN IN SEVERAL CASES. RESPIRATORY SUPPORT WITH
MECHANICAL VENTILATION AND POSITIVE END-EXPIRATORY PRESSURE MAY BE REQUIRED.
WARNING:
THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS A CHEMICAL KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER.
SECTION VII ?PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
FOR LARGE SPILLS EVACUATE THE HAZARD AREA OF UNPROTECTED PERSONNEL. WEAR
APPROPRIATE RESPIRATOR AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. SHUT OFF SOURCE OF LEAK ONLY IF SAFE
TO DO SO. DIKE AND CONTAIN. IF VAPOR CLOUD FORMS, WATER FOG MAY BE USED TO SUPPRESS;
CONTAIN RUN-OFF. REMOVE WITH VACUUM TRUCKS OR PUMP TO STORAGE/SALVAGE VESSELS. SOAK
UP RESIDUE WITH AN ABSORBENT SUCH AS CLAY, SAND OR OTHER SUITABLE MATERIAL; PLACE IN
NONLEAKING CONTAINERS FOR PROPER DISPOSAL. FLUSH AREA WITH WATER TO REMOVE TRACE
RESIDUE; DISPOSE OF FLUSH SOLUTIONS AS ABOVE. REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION: SPARKS,
4
STATIC ELECTRICITY & ELECTRICAL. VENTILATE AREA. DISPERSE WITH WATER SPRAY. KEEP
PERSONNEL UP-WIND.
FOR SMALL SPILLS TAKE UP WITH AN ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND PLACE IN NONLEAKING CONTAINERS;
SEAL TIGHTLY FOR PROPER DISPOSAL.
WASTE DISPOSAL:
DISPOSE OF CONTAMINATED PRODUCT AND MATERIALS USED IN CLEANING UP SPILLS AND LEAKS IN A
MANNER APPROVED FOR THIS MATERIAL. CONSULT APPROPRIATE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL
REGULATORY AGENCIES TO ASCERTAIN PROPER PROCEDURES. BURN UNDER CONTROLLED

NOT STORE NEAR HEAT, SPARKS OR FLAME. PROTECT FROM ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
CONTAINERS, EVEN THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN EMPTIED, WILL RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE. ALWAYS
OBEY HAZARD WARNINGS AND HANDLE EMPTY CONTAINERS AS IF THEY WERE FULL. DO NOT GET IN
EYES, BREATHE VAPORS. AVOID SKIN CONTACT. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. SMOKING WHEN USING
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
SECTION VIII 瑿ONTROL MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
USE VENTILATION AS REQUIRED TO CONTROL VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS AT LEAST 10 AIR CHANGES
PER HOUR AREA RECOMMENDED FOR GOOD GENERAL ROOM VENTILATION. IF EXPOSURE EXCEEDS
THE PEL/TLV, USE A NIOSH-APPROVED DUST RESPIRATOR OR MASK PER REQUIREMENTS OF 29 CFR
1910.134.
VENTILATION:
USE LOCAL EXHAUST CAPABLE OF MINIMIZING VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS AT POINT OF USE. ALL
APPLICATION AREAS SHOULD BE ADEQUATELY VENTILATED IN ORDER NOT TO EXCEED SECTION II
COMPONENT TLV.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES:
USE NEOPRENE OR OTHER SOLVENT RESISTANT GLOVES TOPREVENT SKIN CONTACT.
EYE PROTECTIONS:
NIOSH-APPROVED DUST GOGGLES OR A SPLASH SHIELD SHOULD BE USED TO PREVENT SKIN
CONTACT. CONTACT LENSES SHOULD NOT BE WORN.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT:
LONG-SLEEVED SHIRT, TROUSERS AND SAFETY SHOES. FREEZING RESISTANT GLOVES ARE
RECOMMENDED.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES:
AVOID SKIN OR EYE CONTACT. DO NOT BREATH VAPORS. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING AND
