ROUTES OF ENTRY:
Inhalation and Dermal are the primary routes of entry, although other avenues should also be considered.
HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC):
INHALATION:
ETF is moderately toxic by inhalation. Dioxolane is mildly toxic. ETC is primarily a central nervous system depressant and
may possible cause central nervous system damage.
EYE AND SKIN:
ETF is moderately toxic via skin absorption. Material is irritating to the skin and eyes.
INGESTION:
Dioxlane and ETF are moderately toxic by ingestion. Butyl Alcohol is mildly toxic. Swallowing product may cause irritation
of the mouth and GI tract. Vomiting and subsequent aspiration into the lungs may lead to chemical pneumonia and
pulmonary edema which is potentially fatal.
CHRONIC: There is no evidence that ice causes cancer or causes birth defects.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
INHALATION
Irritation of the respiratory system, dizziness, nausea, lightheadedness, headache, loss of coordination and equilibrium,
unconsciousness, conjunctiva irritation, hallucinations, irritability, aggression, hypermobility, diarrhea, vomiting possible
central nervous system damage, and death in cases of severe overexposure.
EYE/SKIN
May cause irritation and dermatitis. The problem may be accentuated by liquid trapped against the skin by contaminated
clothing and shoes, increasing the likelihood of absorption.
INGESTION
Material may cause irritation of the mouth and GI tract along with other effects listed under inhalation.
Medical conditions generally aggravated by exposure:
None Known
Emergency and first aid procedures
INHALATION
Remove individual to fresh air. If breathing difficulties provide oxygen if someone medical in attendance. If not breathing
give mouth to mouth artificial respiration. Get immediate medical attention.
EYE AND SKIN CONTACT
Flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes.
Remove all contaminated clothing and launder prior to reuse. Properly discard all leather articles, which may be soaked
with product.
INGESTION
If conscious, drink large amounts of water, do not induce vomiting. Never administer anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. If vomiting occurs spontaneously keep individual's head below their hips to prevent aspiration of material into the
lungs. Seek medical attention. If unconscious or in convulsions take immediately to the hospital.

Note to Physician
Never administer adrenaline following ETF overexposure. Increased sensitivity of the heart to adrenaline may be
caused by overexposure to this material.
ETF has been shown to be an experimental tetratogen.
V. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Immediately evacuate the area and provide maximum ventilation. Unprotected personnel, should move upwind of the spill.
Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory and skin/eye protection should be permitted in the area. Dike area to
contain the spill. Take precautions as necessary to prevent contamination of the ground and surface waters. Recover
spilled material with an absorbent material such as sawdust or vermiculite, and sweep into closed containers for disposal.
After all visible traces, including vapors, have been removed, thoroughly wet vacuum the area. Do not flush to the sewer.
If area is porous, remove as much earth and gravel etc as possible and place in closed container.
Contaminated sawdust, vermiculite or porous surface must be disposed of in a permitted hazardous waste management
facility. Recovered liquids may be reprocessed or incinerated, or must be treated in a permitted hazardous waste
management facility. Care must be taken when using or disposing of chemical materials and or their containers in
accordance with the clean air act, the clean water act, the resource conservation and recovery act, department of
t5ransportation, as well as any other relevant Federal, State or Local laws/regulations regarding disposal.
POSSIBLE WASTE DISPOSAL CODES: U226, F001 AND F002.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:
Do not use in poorly ventilated or confined spaces without proper respiratory protection.
Store only in closed, properly labeled containers.
This material or its vapors when in contact with flames, Hot glowing surfaces or electric arcs can decompose to form
hydrogen chloride, chlorine and other toxic compounds.
Do not use cutting or welding torches on drums that contained product unless properly purged and cleaned.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
Do not breathe vapors, High concentrations can cause dizziness, unconsciousness, or death in extreme cases.
Use only with adequate ventilation. Ventilation must be sufficient to limit employees' exposure.
Avoid contact with eyes or skin: Do not ingest.
Avoid contamination of water supplies!!!! Any spill or leak has the potential to cause underground water contamination
which may if sufficiently severe, render a drinking water source unfit for human consumption. Contamination that does
occur cannot be easily corrected.
Chlorinated solvent used as a flash point suppressant must be added in sufficient quantity or the resultant mixture may
have a flashpoint lower than the flammable component.
VI. CONTROL MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: To limit employees' exposure, OSHA requires that the use of administrative or
engineering controls must first be developed and implemented whenever feasible(29CFR 1910.1000(e)). When controls
are not feasible then protective equipment, such as respirators, may be used. Half or full face respirators in conjunction
with the proper chemical cartridge may be used when conditions do not exceed permissible limits. Positive pressure self-

contained units (SCBAs) are required whenever: there is insufficient oxygen, poorly ventilated rooms or when exposure is
above the PEL, and some confined-space conditions. Use only OSHA/Niosh approved respirators according to the
manufacturer's directions and the provisions under 29CFR 1910.135.
EYE PROTECTION: Splashproof goggles
DERMAL PROTECTION: Protect all exposed skin from liquid contact. Use synthetic gloves such as viton; for limited
service polyvinyl alcohol (degrades in water), nitrile, butyl, or neoprene. Aprons and other protective equipment should be
used when there is a chance for splashing.
Eyewash and safety showers are recommended in areas where this product is handled.
