EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Physical State: This product is a water soluble liquid.
Immediate Concerns: Harmful if swallowed. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
| Eyes: | May cause slight
temporary eye irritation. |
| Skin: | Short term skin contact is not
expected to cause skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated direct
exposure may result in symptoms of irritation and redness. |
| Skin Absorption: | Prolonged skin contact
is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. |
| Ingestion: | Small amounts swallowed
incidentally as a result of normal handling operations are not
likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amount may cause
serious injury, even death. Excessive exposure may cause central
nervous system effects, cardiopulmonary effects (metabolic acidosis), and
kidney failure. May cause nausea and vomiting. May cause abdominal
discomfort and diarrhea. |
| Inhalation: | With good ventilation,
single exposure is not expected to cause adverse effects. If
material is heated or areas are poorly ventilated, vapour/mist
may accumulate and cause respiratory irritation and symptoms
such as headache and nausea. |
| Acute Toxicity: | No further data known. |
| Chronic: | No further data known. |
| Carcinogenicity: | This product is not
listed as a known or suspected carcinogen by IARC, OSHA, or the NTP. |
| Mutagenicity: | None known. |
| Reproductive Toxicity: | |
| Reproductive Effects: | None known. |
| Teratogenic Effects: | None known. |
| Medical Conditions Aggravated: | None
known. |
| Routes of Entry: | May cause slight
teSkin contact, eye contact, inhalation, ingestionmporary eye irritation. |
| Sensitization: | None known. |
|
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
|
| Eyes: |
Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of
water for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms persist, contact a physician. |
| Skin: |
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. If
symptoms of exposure persist, contact a physician. Thoroughly wash or discard
clothing and shoes before reuse. |
| Ingestion: |
Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. If
person is fully conscious, give 1 cup or 8 ounces (240 ml) of water. If medical
advice is delayed and if an adult has swallowed several ounces of chemical, then
give 3-4 ounces (1/3 - 1/2 cup) (90-120 ml) of hard liquor such as 80 proof
whiskey. |
| Inhalation: |
Inhalation is not an expected route of exposure. If respiratory
irritation occurs, remove employee to fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek
immediate medical attention. |
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: This product contains a glycol. Early administration of ethanol may counter the effects of glycol ingestion.
Hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis have been of benefit.
|
|
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
| Flashpoint and Method: |
None. |
| Flammability Limits: |
No |
| Autoignition Temperature: |
N/A |
| Extinguishing Media: |
Normally self-extinguishing. Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical,
fog water spray may be used. |
| Hazardous Combustion Products: |
Combustion may produce oxides of carbon, nitrogen, hydrocarbons
and smoke. |
| Fire Fighting Procedures: |
Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Use
water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is
out and danger of re-ignition has passed. To extinguish combustible residues of
the product use water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam. |
| Fire Fighting Equipment: |
Emergency responders in the danger area should wear bunker gear
and self-contained breathing apparatus for fires beyond the incipient stage. See
Section 8 of the MSDS for other PPE to be worn as conditions warrant. |

None.
|
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
| Small Spill: | Keep material out of storm sewers and ditches
which lead to waterways. |

systems. Soak up with absorbent or contain in a closed vessel.
|
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE |
| General Procedures: | Do not add nitrites or other nitrosating agents. A nitrosamine may be formed. |
|
Handling: | Do not take internally. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid breathing vapour, aerosol and mist. Keep container closed. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. |
| Storage: | Keep in tightly closed
containers. Do not store with incompatible substances. Do not allow water to
evaporate. |
| Shelf Life: | Recommended storage period:
24 months.
|
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
|
Engineering Controls: Good general ventilation should be sufficient. It is recommended that ventilation be designed to
maintain airborne concentrations at lowest practicable levels. Ventilation should at a minimum, prevent airborne concentrations
from exceeding any exposure limits listed in Section 8 of this MSDS.
Personal Protective Equipment: |
| Eyes and Face: |
Chemical safety glasses are adequate under normal conditions. When splashing may occur, a full face-shield should be worn. |
| Skin: |
Chemical resistent gloves such as nitrile or rubber are recommended to protect against exposure. Where splashing or soaking is likely,
wear oil or chemical resistant clothing to prevent exposure. |
| Respiratory: |
Not generally required. A respirator may be worn to reduce
exposure to vapors, dust, or mist. Select a NIOSH approved respirator for the
type of physical character of the airborne material. A self-contained breathing
apparatus is recommended in all situations where airborne contaminant
concentration has not been confirmed to be below safe levels. Respirator should
comply with CSA Standard Z94.4-93: Selection, Use and Care of Respirators. |
| Protective Clothing: |
Coveralls are sufficient. Where splashing or soaking is likely,
wear oil or chemical resistent clothing to prevent exposure.
|
| Work Hygienic Practices: Wash hands prior to
eating or smoking. |
Comments: The Workplace
Environmental Exposure Limit (TWA) for diethylene glycol is 10 mg/m3.

ACGIH TLV (Threshold Limit Value) - A term used by the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygenists to express the airborne concentration of a
material to which nearly all persons can be exposed day after day without
adverse effects. ACGIH expresses TLVs in three ways:
- TLV-TWA: = The allowable Time Weighted Average concentration for a normal
8-hour workday of a 40-hour workweek.
- TLV-STEL: = The Short-Term Exposure Limit, or maximum concentration for a
continuous 15-minutes exposure period. A maximum of four such periods per day,
with at least 60 minutes between exposure periods are allowed, provided that the
daily TLV is not exceeded.
- TLV-C: = The Ceiling exposure limit; the concentration that should not be
exceeded even instantaneously.
OSHA PEL (Permissible Exposure Limits): An exposure limit established by the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration. May be a time weighted average (TWA)
limit or ceiling (C) exposure limit.
