Routes of Exposure:
Eye Contact: Exposure during the handling or mixing may cause immediate or delayed irritation or inflammation.
Skin Contact: Exposure during the handling or mixing may cause immediate or delayed irritation or inflammation.
Ingestion: Ingestion of large quantities may cause abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
Inhalation: Exposure to this product in excess of the applicable TVL or PEL may cause or aggravate other lung
conditions. Exposure to this product may cause irritation to the nose, throat, and upper respiratory system.
Contains diethylene glycol monobutyl ether which may cause kidney damage.
Chronic: None known
Medical Conditions which May be Aggravated by Inhalation or Dermal Exposure: Persons with eye, skin or

IARC.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water. Continue flushing eye for at least 15 minutes, including under
lids. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin: In case of contact, immediately wash with plenty of soap and water for at least 5 minutes. Seek medical
attention if irritation or redness occurs. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Clean contaminated clothing
and shoes before re-use.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2 ?3 glasses of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting without
medical advice. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek immediate
medical attention. Do not leave victim unattended. Vomiting may occur spontaneously. To prevent aspiration of
swallowed product, lay victim on side with head lower than waist. If vomiting occurs and the victim is
conscious, give water to further dilute the chemical.
Inhalation: If respiratory irritation or distress occurs remove victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention if respiratory
irritation or distress continues. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing as ceased apply artificial
respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician: All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in the patient.
Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials other than this product may
have occurred.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point ?No flash to boil. Combustible Liquid
Lower Explosive Limit ?Not Applicable
Upper Explosive Limit ?Not Applicable
Hazardous Combustion Products ?Oxides of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and fluorine. Possibly hydrofluoric acid.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards ?Decomposition products may be toxic.
Extinguishing Media ?Water, Foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Halon
Special fire fighting Procedures ?None
Auto Ignition Temperature ?Not Applicable
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Wear appropriate protective gear for the situation. See Personal Protection information in section 8.
Containment of Spill: Dike or retain dilution water or water from firefighting for later disposal. Follow procedure
described below under cleanup and disposal of spills.
Cleanup and Disposal of Spill: Vacuum or pump into an appropriate storage container. For smaller spills use
absorbent materials and dispose of properly. Washing area with water will create large amounts of foam.
Environmental and Regulatory Reporting: Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. Spills may
be reportable to the National Response Center (800-424-8802) and to state and/or local agencies.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

CHEMGUARD FS-100
Handling: WARNING: Combustible. Eye, skin and respiratory irritant. Keep away from sparks, heat and open
flames. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use with adequate ventilation.
Storage: Store in an area that is dry, well ventilated and in closed containers. Store in original container or
appropriate end-use device.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Guidelines:
PROPYLENE GLYCOL CAS#57-55-6
TWA STEL
ACGIH (PPM) None None
OSHA (PPM) None None
DIETHYLENE GLYCOL MONO BUTYL ETHER CAS#112-34-5
TWA STEL
ACGIH (PPM) None None
OSHA (PPM) None None
Engineering Controls: Where engineering controls are indicated by use conditions or a potential for excessive
exposure exists, the following traditional exposure techniques may be used to effectively minimize employee
exposures.
Eye Protection: When engaged in activities where product could contact the eye, wear safety glasses with side
shields, goggles, or face shield.
Skin Protection: Skin contact should be minimized through use of latex gloves and suitable long sleeved clothing.
Consideration must be given both to durability as well as permeation resistance.
Respiratory Protection: Avoid actions that cause dust exposure to occur. Use local or general ventilation to
control exposures below applicable exposure limits. NIOSH or MSHA approved particulate filter respirators
should be used in the context of respiratory protection program meeting the requirements of the OSHA
respiratory protection standard [29 CFR 1910.134] to control exposures when ventilation or other controls are
inadequate or discomfort or irritation is experienced. Respirator and/or filter cartridge selection should be
based on American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standards Z88.2 Practices for Respiratory
Protection.
Ventilation: Use local exhaust or general dilution ventilation to control exposure within applicable limits.
Work Practice Controls:
Personal hygiene is an important work practice exposure control measure and the following general measures
should be taken when working with or handling this material:
(1) Do not store, use, and/or consume foods, beverages, tobacco products, or cosmetics in areas where this
material is stored.
(2) Wash hands and face carefully before eating, drinking, using tobacco, applying cosmetics, or using the
toilet.
(3) Wash exposed skin promptly to remove accidental splashes or contact with this material.
