SECTION 3 HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION
WARNING: - HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED
- MAY CAUSE DIZZINESS AND DROWSINESS
- MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION
- ASPIRATION HAZARD IF SWALLOWED, CAN ENTER LUNGS
- CAN CAUSE KIDNEY DAMAGE IF SWALLOWED
Eye contact: Direct contact may cause irritation, redness, tearing and blurred vision.
Skin contact: Brief contact may cause slight irritation. Prolonged contact, as with clothing
wetted with material, may cause more severe irritation and discomfort, seen as
local redness and swelling.
Other than the potential skin irritation effects noted above, acute (short term)
adverse effects are not expected from brief skin contact.
Inhalation: Vapors or mist, in excess of permissible concentrations, or in unusually high
concentrations generated from spraying, heating the material or from exposure
in poorly ventilated areas or confined spaces, may cause irritation of the nose
and throat, headache, nausea and drowsiness.
Ingestion: Contains ethylene glycol, which is toxic when swallowed. A lethal dose for an
adult is 1-2 mL per kilogram, or about 4 ounces (1/2 cup). Symptoms include
headache, weakness, confusion, dizziness, staggering, slurred speech, loss of
coordination, faintness, nausea and vomiting, increased heart rate, decreased
blood pressure, difficulty in breathing and seeing, pulmonary edema,
unconsciousness, convulsions, collapse, and coma. Symptoms may be
delayed. Decreased urine output and kidney failure may also occur. Severe
poisoning may cause death.
Other: Aspiration may occur during swallowing or vomiting, resulting in lung damage.

SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Hold
eyelids apart while flushing to rinse entire surface of eye and lids with water.
Get medical attention.
Skin contact: Wash skin with plenty of soap and water for several minutes. Get medical
attention if skin irritation develops or persists.
Inhalation: If irritation, headache, nausea, or drowsiness occurs, remove to fresh air. Get
medical attention if breathing becomes difficult or respiratory irritation persists.
Ingestion: If person is conscious and can swallow, immediately give two glasses (16
ounces) of water. Induce vomiting as directed by medical personnel. Get
medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or
convulsing person.
Other: Ethylene glycol (EG) intoxication may initially produce behavioral changes,
drowsiness, vomiting, diarrhea, thirst, and convulsions. EG is nephrotoxic
(kidney damaging). End stages of poisoning may include renal damage or
failure with acidosis. Supportive measures, supplemented with hemodialysis if
indicated, may limit the progression and severity of toxic effects.
For ethylene glycol poisoning intravenous ethanol is a recognized antidotal
treatment; other antidotal treatments also exist for EG poisoning.
Aspiration of this product during induced emesis may result in severe lung
injury. If evacuation of stomach is necessary, use method least likely to cause
aspiration - such as gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. Contact a
poison center for additional treatment information.
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash point: 118癈 (244癋) typical by ASTM D 92 (COC) for ethylene glycol. If material
contains water from addition - flash will not occur until water has boiled off.
Flammable limits: Not determined.
Extinguishing media: Use water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, all purpose AFFF or carbon
dioxide to extinguish fire.
Special firefighting
procedures: Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. If leak or spill has not ignited,
ventilate area and use water spray to disperse gas or vapor and to protect
personnel attempting to stop a leak.
Use water spray to cool adjacent structures and to protect personnel. Shut off
source of flow if possible (safely). Stay away from storage tank ends.
Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any
discoloration of storage tank due to fire.
Fire fighters must wear MSHA/NIOSH approved positive pressure breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with full face mask and full protective equipment.
Unusual fire &
explosion hazards: Dense smoke may be generated while burning. Toxic fumes, gases or vapors
may evolve on burning. Heavy flammable vapors may settle along ground level
and low spots to create an invisible fire hazard. The vapors may extend to
sources of ignition and flash back.
Byproducts of
combustion: Fires involving this product may release COx, NOx, SOx, reactive hydrocarbons
and irritating vapors.
Autoignition
temperature: Not determined.
Explosion data: Not determined. Care should always be exercised in dust/mist areas.
Other: Not applicable.

SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill control
procedures (land): Immediately turn off or isolate any source of ignition (pilot lights, electrical
equipment, flames, heaters, etc.). Evacuate area and ventilate. Personnel
wearing proper protective equipment should contain spill immediately with inert
materials (sand, earth, chemical spill pads of cotton) by forming dikes. Dikes
should be placed to contain spill in a manner that will prevent material from
entering sewers and waterways. Large spill, once contained, may be picked up
using explosion proof, non-sparking vacuum pumps, shovels, or buckets, and
disposed of in suitable containers for disposal. If a large spill (5,000 pounds or
~500 gallons) occurs notify appropriate authorities according to SARA 304
and/or CERCLA 102(a) requirements. In the case of accident or road spill
contact Chemtrec at 800-424-9300.
Spill control
procedures (water): Material will readily mix with water. If a large spill occurs notify appropriate
authorities (normally the National Response Center or Coast Guard at 800-424-
8802.
Waste disposal
method: This product has been evaluated for RCRA characteristics and does not meet
the criteria of a hazardous waste if discarded in its purchased form. Under
RCRA, it is the responsibility of the user of the product to determine at the time
of disposal, whether the product meets RCRA criteria for hazardous waste.
This is because product uses, transformations, mixtures, processes, etc. may
render the resulting materials hazardous. All disposals must comply with
federal, state, and local regulations. The material, if spilled or discarded may
be a regulated waste. Refer to state and local regulations. Department of
Transportation (DOT) regulations may apply for transporting this material when
spilled. See Section 14.
Other: To prevent contamination of drinking water supplies, and poisoning of children,
aquatic life, wildlife, and farm and domestic animals, ethylene glycol products
should never be discarded onto the ground, into surface waters, or into storm
sewers.
Product spills into the environment of one pound (~1 pint) or more must be
reported because of ethylene glycol listing in the 1990 Clean Air Act. For
information on reporting requirements for a spill located in a specific location,
call the EPA's Chemical Preparedness Program Hotline (800-535-0202).
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling procedures: Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not transfer to unmarked
containers. Empty containers retain product residue which may exhibit hazards
of material, therefore do not pressurize, cut, glaze, weld, or use for any other
purposes. Return drums to reclamation centers for proper cleaning and reuse.
Storage procedures: Periods of exposure to high temperatures should be minimized. Water
contamination should be avoided.
Additional information: No additional information.
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protection: Applicable mainly to persons in repeated contact situations such as packaging
of product, service/maintenance, and cleanup/spill control personnel.
Respiratory protection: None required if airborne cnocentrations are maintained below threshold limits
listed on page one. Otherwise a respiratory protection program meeting OSHA
1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed. Where misting may
occur, wear an MSHA/NIOSH approved (or equivalent) half-mask form
dust/mist air purifying respirator.
