2. Hazards Identification:
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Product Description: This product is a pigmented liquid. Health Hazards:
The primary hazards presented by this product are the potential for mild irritation of contaminated tissue
and the potential for accidental ingestion. Flammability Hazards: This product is not flammable. If this product is
involved in a fire, the decomposition products generated will include irritating vapors and gases and some carbon
monoxide. Reactivity Hazards: This product is not reactive. Environmental Hazards: Although release of this product
to the environment is not expected to cause significant adverse effect, all releases should be avoided. Emergency
Considerations: Emergency responders should wear appropriate protection for situation to which they respond.

6. Accidental release measures:
Personal precautions: Do not get in eyes. Do not take internally. Avoid skin contact. Prevent prolonged or repeated
breathing of vapor or spray mists. Keep unnecessary people away. Floor may be slippery, use care to avoid falling. Dike
and contain material with inert material (e.g. earth, sand). Transfer liquid and contaminated diking material to separate
containers for disposal. Environmental precautions: Keep spills and cleaning run-offs out of municipal sewers and open
bodies of water. Comply with local, national and state regulations.
7. Handling and Storage:
Maximum storage temperature 60癈, minimum 2癈. Keep closure tight and containers upright to prevent

agents (e.g. nitric acid, permanganates), etc.
11. Toxicological Information:
Ethylene Glycol Oral LD50 (rat) = 8.54 g/kg
Ethylene glycol is considered an animal teratogen. It has been shown to cause birth defects in rats and mice at high
doses when given in drinking wter or by gavage. There is no evidence to indicate it causes birth defects in humans.
Prolonged overexposure to ethylene glycol may cause adverse effects to the reproductive system.

12. Ecological Information:
Well-diluted product would have no environmental consequences. Less than 5% ethylene glycol present in this product
yields the following environmental fate considerations: Ethylene glycol is 100% volatile. Once volatilized it will react in the
atmosphere with hydroxyl radicals with a half-life on about 1 day. For accidental spills, note that ethylene glycol in typical
river water at 20癈 was found to completely degrade in 3 days. At temperatures of 8癈, degradation occurred in 7 days.
Toxicity to fish: LD50 Carrasisus auratus (goldfish) greater than 5,000 gl/L/24 hour. Modified ASTM D 1345. Algea:
(Chlorella pyrenoidosa) 180,000 mg/L toxic.
13. Disposal considerations:
The coating and any contaminated diking material should be thoroughly air dried and collected into drums. The drums
should then be sealed and properly labeled with waste designation and land filled or incinerated according to local and
national regulations.
