4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
Remove victim from area of exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing and loosen remaining
clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest until fully recovered. Seek
medical advice if effects persist.
Skin Contact:
If skin or hair contact occurs, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and wash skin and hair thoroughly with
running water. If swelling, redness, blistering or irritation occurs seek medical assistance.

Safety Data Sheet
Eye Contact:
If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to stop by
a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Ingestion:
Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, give a glass of water to drink. Seek medical advice.
Medical attention and special treatment:
Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Hazards from combustion products:
Not combustible, however following evaporation of the water component of the material, the residual material can burn if
ignited. On burning will emit toxic fumes, including those of oxides of carbon and oxides of nitrogen .
Precautions for fire fighters and special protective equipment:
Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or
products of combustion.
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Not combustible, however, if material is involved in a fire use: Fine water spray, normal foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide,
dry chemical powder).
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency procedures:
If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.
Methods and materials for containment and clean up:
SMALL SPILLS: Slippery when wet. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wipe up with rag or absorbent paper.
Collect in a container for disposal via special chemical waste collection.
LARGE SPILLS: Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Contain - prevent run off into drains and
waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert material). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums
for disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: Keep out of reach of children. Avoid eye contact and repeated or prolonged skin
contact.
Conditions for safe storage: Store in cool place and out of direct sunlight. Keep containers closed when not in use -
check regularly for leaks.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Occupational Exposure Limits: No value assigned for this specific material by the New Zealand Occupational Safety
and Health Service (OSH). However, Workplace Exposure Standard(s) for constituent(s):

Safety Data Sheet
Propane-1,2-diol (propylene glycol) (vapour & particulates): WES-TWA 150 ppm, 474 mg/m3; (particulates only): WES-
TWA 10 mg/m3.
Triethylamine: WES-TWA 3 ppm, 12 mg/m3; WES-STEL 5 ppm, 20 mg/m3, skin
As published by the New Zealand Occupational Safety and Health Service (OSH).
No Exposure Standards assigned to other constituents.
WES - TWA (Workplace Exposure Standard - Time Weighted Average) - The eight-hour, time-weighted average
exposure standard is designed to protect the worker from the effects of long-term exposure.
WES - STEL (Workplace Exposure Standard - Short Term Exposure Limits) - The 15 minute average exposure standard.
Applies to any 15 minute period in the working day and is designed to protect the worker against adverse effects of
irritation, chronic or irreversible tissue change, or narcosis that may increase the likelihood of accidents. The WES-STEL
is not an alternative to the WES-TWA; both short-term and eight-hour, time-weighted average exposures should be
determined.
`Sk' Notice - absorption through the skin may be a significant source of exposure. The exposure standard is invalidated if
such contact should occur.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards should not be used as fine
dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity.
Engineering controls:
Provide adequate ventilation. If using indoors, keep windows and doors open during use. Keep containers closed when
not in use.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Personal Protection: NOT IN USE
If there is a risk of eye contact, repeated or prolonged skin contact or inhalation wear gloves, safety glasses and a
respirator. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet.
