HEALTH HAZARD
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
The liquid is discomforting to the gastro-intestinal tract and may be harmful
if swallowed in large quantity
Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and vomiting.
EYE
The liquid is discomforting to the eyes and is capable of causing a mild,
temporary redness of the conjunctiva (similar to wind-burn), temporary
impairment of vision and/or other transient eye damage/ulceration
SKIN
The liquid is discomforting to the skin if exposure is prolonged and is capable
of causing skin reactions which may lead to dermatitis from repeated exposures
over long periods
The material may accentuate any pre-existing skin condition
INHALED
The vapour is discomforting to the upper respiratory tract
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Inhalation of vapour may aggravate a pre-existing respiratory condition
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and by
inhalation of vapours especially at higher temperatures.
Prolonged or continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting
with drying, cracking, irritation and dermatitis following.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation
of vapour, mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form,
should be avoided by observing good occupational work practice.
FIRST AID
SWALLOWED
DO NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on
left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent
aspiration.

HEALTH HAZARD ...
Observe the patient carefully.
Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
Give water (or milk) to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much
as casualty can comfortably drink.
Seek medical advice.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
1: Immediately hold the eyes open and wash with fresh running water.
2: Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and
away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper
and lower lids.
3: If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
4: Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken
by skilled personnel.
SKIN
If product comes in contact with the skin:
Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
Wash affected areas thoroughly with water (and soap if available).
Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled: Remove to fresh air.
Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures
If breathing is shallow or has stopped, ensure clear airway and apply
resuscitation, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask
device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
Transport to hospital, or doctor.
ADVICE TO DOCTOR
Treat symptomatically.

Odour Threshold: Practically odourless.
A small number of individuals show skin irritation or sensitisation from
repeated or prolonged exposure to propylene glycol. A workplace
environmental exposure limit (WEEL) has been established by AIHA and is
thought to be protective against systemic effects.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of
overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to
obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed
storage areas. Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying
"escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh
circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating from 0.25-0.5 m/s
tank (in still air). (50-100 f/min.)
aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, intermittant 0.5-1 m/s
container filling, low speed conveyer transfers, welding, (100-200 f/min.)
spray drift, plating acid fumes, pickling
(released at low velocity into zone of active generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum 1-2.5 m/s
filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas discharge (200-500 f/min.)
(active generation into zone of rapid air motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel 2.5-10 m/s
generated dusts (released at high initial velocity into (500-2000 f/min.)

zone of very high rapid air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents
favourable to capture 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or 3: High production, heavy use
of nuisance value only. 4: Small hood-local control only
3: Intermittent, low production.
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the
opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the
square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the
air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after
reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the
extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min.)
for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the
extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance
deficits within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical
air air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction
systems are installed or used.
PERSONAL PROTECTION

lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all lenses
concentrate them.
