Potential health effects
Primary routes of exposure
Routes of entry for solids and liquids include eye and skin contact, ingestion and inhalation. Routes of entry
for gases include inhalation and eye contact. Skin contact may be a route of entry for liquified gases.
Acute toxicity:
Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances.

Version: 1.1 (30288739/MDS_GEN_US/EN)
Information on: Fluorocarbons
At levels above the recommended exposure limit, the fluorocarbon acts as a weak narcotic. Acute
overexposure causes tremors, confusion, irritation, suffocation, and may result in cardiac
sensitization.
Information on: Dimethylaminoethanol
Dimethylaminoethanol is extremely irritating to the skin and eyes. Direct contact with the liquid is
corrosive. Acute inhalation exposures at high concentrations have been known to produce
respiratory difficulties, loss of coordination and decreased motor activity in rats.
Information on: Dipropylene glycol
Acute intravenous overexposures of dipropylene glycol were shown to produce CNS effects in
dogs: however, this is not considered a relevant route of exposure. Prolonged overexposure to the
skin may produce slight softening of the tissue.
Information on: Ethylene glycol
Acute inhalation overexposure to ethylene glycol may produce irritation to the nose, throat and
upper respiratory tract. Acute ingestion overexposure is extremely harmful and may produce CNS
effects, followed by depression, vomiting, drowsiness, coma, respiratory failure, convulsions and
damage to the kidneys which may lead to death.
Irritation:
Irritating to respiratory system.
Information on: Polyol
Contact with the eyes and skin may result in irritation.
Information on: Dimethylaminoethanol
Contact with dimethylaminoethanol may result in severe irritation. Burns and permanent injury may
result.
Information on: Ethylene glycol
Prolonged breathing of vapors or mists can cause respiratory irritation and may result in
unconsciousness. Eye contact with the vapors may result in irritation. Eye contact with the liquid will
result in temporary irritation. Prolonged skin contact with the liquid has a dehydrating effect
resulting in a temporary irritation. Vapors have little or no effect on the skin.
Repeated dose toxicity:
Information on: Dimethylaminoethanol
Repeated skin contact with dimethylaminoethanol may result in sensitization. Repeated inhalation
has been known to produce effects on the eyes and nasal mucosa as well as respiratory and
olfactory lesions in experimental animals. Exposure to dimethylaminoethanol has been associated
with visual and ocular changes and is reversible upon significantly reduced or ceased exposure.
Information on: Dipropylene glycol
Rats administered 10% DPG in the drinking water for 77 days exhibited slight liver and kidney
effects. Those given 5% in the water were not affected. Significant inhalation exposures to DPG
are considered unlikely unless the product is heated or aerosols are generated.
Information on: Ethylene glycol
Chronic overexposure to ethylene glycol may lead to liver degeneration and severe kidney damage.
Animal studies indicate that ethylene glycol may be embryotoxic and teratogenic by the oral and
inhalation routes. Ethylene glycol has been found to be noncarcinogenic in experimental animals.
4. First-aid measures
General advice:
Remove contaminated clothing.
If inhaled:
Remove the affected individual into fresh air and keep the person calm. Assist in breathing if necessary.
Immediate medical attention required.
If on skin:
Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. Immediate medical attention required.
If in eyes:
In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately for at least 15 minutes with plenty of water. Immediate
medical attention required.

Autoignition: No data available.
Suitable extinguishing media:
water, dry extinguishing media, carbon dioxide, foam
Hazards during fire-fighting:
No particular hazards known.
Protective equipment for fire-fighting:
Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus and turn-out gear.
6. Accidental release measures
Cleanup:
Spills should be contained, solidified, and placed in suitable containers for disposal.
7. Handling and storage
Handling
General advice:
Product should not be mixed with air above atmospheric pressure for leak testing or any other purpose. Use
dry nitrogen to transfer or leak test equipment pressurized with product.
Protection against fire and explosion:
No explosion proofing necessary.
Storage
General advice:
Product that is frozen and/or tending to sedimentation can be liquified or homogenized by careful application
of indirect heat (do not use flames or direct contact with a heat source). Protect from direct sunlight. Keep in
a cool, well-ventilated place. Avoid extreme heat. Store protected against freezing. Stored and transported in
a cylinder under pressure. Must not be repacked by the customer.
Storage stability:
Storage temperature: 70 - 80 癋
Protect against moisture. Store in unopened original containers in a cool and dry place.
8. Exposure controls and personal protection
Advice on system design:
Provide local exhaust ventilation to control vapours/mists.

Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) organic vapour/particulate respirator as needed.
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves
Eye protection:
Wear face shield or tightly fitting safety goggles (chemical goggles) if splashing hazard exists.
General safety and hygiene measures:
Avoid contact with skin. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wear
protective clothing as necessary to prevent contact. Avoid inhalation of vapours/mists. Wash soiled clothing
immediately.
