4. FIRST AID MEASURES
General: Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before attempting rescue and providing first
aid. For specific information refer to the Emergency Overview in Section 3 of this MSDS.
Skin: Wash skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Launder contaminated clothing before

Inhalation: Remove exposed person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing has stopped, give
artificial respiration. CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
Eye: Flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting eyelids to insure complete flushing of
surface. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE INFORMATION
Release Response
Combustible liquid. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you
can do so without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Absorb or cover with dry
earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect
absorbed material.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Normal precautions common to good manufacturing practice should be followed in handling and storage.
Open and handle container with care. Do not handle near heat, sparks or flame. Avoid contact with incompatible
agents. Use only with adequate ventilation/personal protection. Avoid contact with eyes, akin, and clothing. Do not
enter storage area unless adequately ventilated. Metal containers involved in the transfer of this material should be
grounded and bonded. Handle empty containers with care as residue may be combustible. After handling, always

wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. Isolate, vent, drain, wash and purge systems or equipment before
maintenance or repair. Observe precautions pertaining to confined space entry. Check atmosphere for explosiveness
and oxygen deficiencies. Use only non-sparking tools.
Storage: Store in well ventilated area. Store away from heat, open flame and strong oxidizing agents. Keep container
tightly closed and properly labeled. Ground all equipment containing this material. Use only non-sparking tools.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Engineering Controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep
:
airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
Personal Protection: Inhalation A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 or ANSI
Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator use. No occupational
exposure limit(s) have been established for this material or its components. If nuisance mists cause discomfort, U.S.
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health ( NIOSH ) approved respiratory protection is suggested.
Skin Wear chemical resistant gloves such as rubber, neoprene, or vinyl. When skin contact is possible, protective
clothing including gloves, apron, sleeves, boots, head and face protection should be worn. The equipment must be
cleaned thoroughly after each use.
Eye Safety glasses are required as minimum requirements. Use splash goggles when eye contact due to splashing or
spraying liquid is possible.
Additional Remarks: Selection of appropriate personal protective equipment should be based on an evaluation of the
performance characteristics of the protective equipment relative to the task(s) to be performed, conditions present,
duration of use, and the hazards and/or potential hazards that may be encountered during use. Emergency eye wash
fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of any potential exposure. Use good
personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Promptly remove
soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse. Use care in walking on spilled material. Material spilled on hard
surfaces can be a serious slipping/falling hazard.

Irritation:
Skin Slight skin irritant. Not expected to be a sensitizer.
Eye May cause minor eye irritation.
Repeated Dose Toxicity: Diethylene glycol given to rats in the diet for two years caused bladder stones, tumors, and
kidney and liver damage. These effects were probably due to contaminating ethylene glycol, and the bladder stones
were formed from oxalate crystals.
Reproductive Effects: Reproductive and developmental effects have been noted in animals following very large
(>3000 mg/kg bw/day) oral doses. However, comparable internal dose levels are not possible with dermal or
inhalation exposures under normal conditions of use. Therefore, Diethylene glycol is not considered a possible
reproductive or developmental hazard except during very large oral doses.
Carcinogenicity: Not listed by IARC, NTP, or OSHA. No evidence for carcinogenicity was found with a chronic skin-
painting study in mice. No carcinogenic or tumor promoting effects in rats exposed up to 2.5% solutions in drinking
water for 108 weeks. Older feed studies utilizing limited number tissues but very high doses also provide no evidence
of carcinogenicity. Therefore, this substance should not be considered a concern for carcinogenicity.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
稵his Product
Ecotoxicity: This material is highly soluble in water. Laboratory toxicity tests indicate that it is not significantly toxic to
fish and aquatic invertebrates, although amphibians may be more sensitive. Wildlife species may be more susceptible
since mammals and birds do not readily metabolize this material. The odor and flavor of this material may attract some
wildlife and cause them to consume spilled material.
Environmental Fate and Pathway: This material will biodegrade rather rapidly in both soil and water, and will not
persist in the environment. Due care should be taken to avoid accidental releases to aquatic or terrestrial systems.
Persistance and Degradability:
Bioaccumulation: This material is highly soluble in water and should not bioaccumulate in aquatic or terrestrial
organisms.
稵riethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether 143-22-6
Ecotoxicity: No Data Available
Environmental Fate and Pathway: Expected to have high mobility in soils. It is water soluble and is expected to have
low volatility. If released to the atmosphere, this material should exist in both the vapor and particulate phases. Vapor
phase is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals. Particulate phase
of this material may be physically removed from air by wet and dry deposition.
稵riethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether 112-35-6
Ecotoxicity: This material is highly soluble in water. Limited toxicity tests indicate this material should exhibit low
toxicity to aquatic organisms. The odor and flavor of this material may attract some wildlife and cause them to
consume spilled material.
Environmental Fate and Pathway: This material will biodegrade rather rapidly in both soil and water, and will not
persist in the environment. Due care should be taken to avoid accidental releases to aquatic or terrestrial systems.
Persistance and Degradability: Bioaccumulation: Because of this materials high solubility and rapid
biodegradability, it is unlikely that bioaccumulation will occur in aquatic or terrestrial systems. Models estimate that this
material will preferentially partition to water versus air or soil.
