4. FIRST AID
4.1 First Aid:
EYES: Flush eyes thoroughly with copious amounts of water for at least 20 minutes, holding eyelids open to ensure complete flushing.
Seek immediate medical attention.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek prompt medical
attention. Launder clothing before reuse.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center for assistance and instructions. Seek immediate medical
attention. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep victim's head lowered (forward) to reduce the risk of aspiration.

5.6 Firefighting Procedures:
Keep containers cool until well after the fire is out. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering
sewers, drains, drinking water supply, or any natural waterway. Firefighters should wear full-face, self-contained
breathing apparatus (MSHA/NIOSH approved or the equivalent) and impervious clothing.
6. SPILLS & LEAKS
6.1 Spills:
Secure spill area, remove or minimize all sources of ignition, and maximize ventilation. Stop spill or leak at source if safely possible.
Deny entry to all unprotected individuals. Individuals involved in the cleanup must wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Recover free liquid or cover with inert absorbent material and place into appropriate container(s) for disposal. If necessary, dike well
ahead of the spill to prevent runoff into drains, sewers or any natural waterway or drinking supply. Contact appropriate local and/or
provincial authorities for assistance and/or reporting requirements.
7. STORAGE & HANDLING
7.1 Work & Hygiene Practices:
Use normal hygiene practices. Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid direct skin contact. Wash hands thoroughly after using this product and
before eating, drinking, or smoking.
7.2 Storage & Handling:
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid and/or
solid) , all hazard precautions goven in this safety data sheet must be observed. Do not store in unmarked containers or storage
devices.
7.3 Special Precautions:
Readily available emergency fire, first aid, and spill response equipment and/or measures are highly recommended.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL & PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 Ventilation & Engineering Controls:
General mechanical ventilation and local exhaust is required for use with this product.
8.2 Respiratory Protection:
A respiratory protection program that meets ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a
respirators use.
8.3 Eye Protection:
Safety glasses with side shields should be used with this product. If splashing is anticipated, splash goggles and a faceshield are
recommended.
8.4 Hand Protection:
Where contact is likely, impervious gloves are recommended. Do not wear rings, watches, or jewelry that could entrap the material
against the skin.
8.5 Body Protection:
None required under normal conditions.

11.8 Medical Recommendations:
This product contains ethylene glycol. Ethanol decrease the metabolism of ethylene glycol to toxi metabolites. Ethanol should be
administered as soon possible in cases of sever poisoning since the elimination of the half-life of tethylene glycol is 3 hours. If medical
care will be delayed several hours, give the patient three to four 1-ounce "shots" of 86-proof or higher whiskey before or during
transport to the hospital. Fomepizole (4-methylpyrazole) iis an effective antagonist of alcohol dehydrogenase, and as such may be
used as an antidote in the treatment off ethylene glycol poisoning. Hemodialysis effectively removes ethylene glycol and its
metabolites from the body. Effects of acute ethylene glycol poisoning appear in three fairly distinct stages. The initial stage occurs
shortly after exposure, lasts 6-12 hours, and is characterized by central nervous system effects (transient exhiliration, nausea, vomiting
and in sever cases, coma, convulsions, and possible death. The secind stage lasts from 12-36 hours after exposure and is initiated by
the onset of coma. This phase is characterized by tachypia, tahycrdia, mild hypertension, cyanosis, and in severe cases, pulmonary
edema, bronchopneumonia, cardiac enlargement, and congestive failure. The final stage occurs 24-72 hours post exposure and is
characteried by rrnal failure by a mild increase in blood urine nitrogen ad creatinine followed by recovery to complete anuria with
acuute tubular necrosis that can lead to death. Oxaluria is found in most cases. The most significant laboratory findingin ethylene
glycol intoxication is sever metabolic acidosis.
