FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
CLOSED CUP: 1110C
Flash Point:
3980C
Auto ignition Temperature:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Small fire: use DRY chemical powder
Large Fire: use water spray, fog or foam. DO NOT use water
jet
Special Fire-fighting procedures: Explosive decomposition may occur if combined with strong
acids or strong bases and subjected to elevated
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Slightly flammable to flammable in presence of open flames
and sparks, of heat. Non-flammable in presence of shocks.
HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Effects of Overexposure: NA
Skin : Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an
emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Cold
water may be used
Eyes Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact,
immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least
15mins. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention if
irritation occurs..
Ingestion/Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention immediately.
DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Loosen tight clothing such as collar, tie, belt or
waistband.
Serious Ingestion Medical conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Persons with pre-existing kidney, respiratory, eye, or
neurological problems might be more sensitive to Ethylene
Glycol.
Notes to Physician:
1. Support vital functions, correct for dehydration and shock,
and manage fluid balance.
2. The currently recommended medical management of
Ethylene Glycol and metabolites. Elimination of Ethylene
Glycol may be achieved by the following methods:
a. Emptying the stomach by gastric lavage. It is useful if
initiated within < 1 of ingestion.
b. Correct metabolic acidosis with intravenous administration
of sodium bicarbonate, adjusting the administration rate
according to repeated and frequent measurement of
acid/base status.
c. Administer ethanol (orally or by IV (intravenously)) or
fomepizole (4-methylpyrazole or Antizol)) therapy by IV as an
antidote to inhibit the ormation of toxic metabolite
d. If patients are diagnosed and treated early in the course
with the above methods, hemodialysis may be avoided if
fomepizole or ethanol therapy is effective and has corrected
the metabolic acidosis, and no renal failure is present.
However, once severe acidosis and real failure occurred,
however, hemodialysis is necessary. It is effective I removing
Ethylene Glycol and toxic metabolite, and correcting
metabolic acidosis.
