SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance & Odor: Pale yellow liquid Ether-like odor
Health Hazards: Causes severe eye irritation. May be harmful or fatal if
swallowed. Do not induce vomitting. May cause aspiration pneumonitis. May
cause CNS depression. High-pressure injection under the skin may cause
serious damage.
NFPA Rating (Health, Fire, Reactivity): 2, 1, 0
Hazard Rating:Least - 0 Slight - 1 Moderate - 2 High - 3
Extreme - 4
Inhalation:
In applications where vapors (caused by high temperature) or mists (caused by
mixing or spraying) are created, breathing may cause a mild burning sensation
in the nose, throat and lungs.
Eye Irritation:
Severely irritating to the eyes causing pain, redness, swelling and blurred
vision.
Skin Contact:
May cause slight irritation of the skin. If irritation occurs, a temporary
burning sensation and minor redness and/or swelling may result. Release of
the material during high-pressure applications may result in injection under
the skin causing possible extensive tissue damage which is difficult to heal.
Other adverse effects not expected from brief skin contact.
Ingestion:
This material may be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Ingestion may result in
vomiting; aspiration (breathing) of vomitus into lungs must be avoided as even
small quantities may result in aspiration pneumonitis. Contains ethylene
glycol and/or diethylene glycol which are toxic when swallowed. A lethal dose
for an adult is 1 ml per kilogram or about 4 ounces (1/2 cup). Severe kidney
damage can occur as a result of ingestion. May cause Central Nervous System
(CNS) depression.
This material and/or components may cause the following effects:
Developmental Toxicity, Reproductive Toxicity
Primary Target Organs:
The following organs and/or organ systems may be damaged by overexposure to
this material and/or its components.
Gastrointestinal System, Kidney, Liver, Reproductive System
Signs and Symptoms:
Irritation as noted above. Aspiration pneumonitis may be evidenced by
coughing, labored breathing and cyanosis (bluish skin); in severe cases death
may occur. Early to moderate CNS depression may be evidenced by giddiness,
headache, dizziness and nausea. In extreme cases, unconsciousness and death
may occur. Kidney damage may be indicated by changes in urine output or
appearance, pain upon urination or in the lower back or general edema
(swelling from fluid retention). Liver damage may be indicated by loss of
appetite, jaundice (yellowish skin and eye color), fatigue and sometimes pain
and swelling in the upper right abdomen.
Aggravated Medical Conditions:
Pre-existing eye, skin, respiratory, liver and kidney disorders and may be
aggravated by exposure to this product.
For additional health information, refer to section 11.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inhalation:
Move victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Get
medical attention.
Skin:
Flush exposed area with water and follow by washing with soap if available.
If material is injected under the skin, transport to the nearest medical
facility for additional treatment. If redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters
occur, transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment.
Eye:
Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 30 minutes, by
the clock, while holding eyelids open. Transport to nearest medical facility
for additional treatment.
Ingestion:
DO NOT take internally. Do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs
spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into
lungs. Get medical attention.
Note to Physician:
Ethylene Glycol (EG) and Diethylene Glycol (DEG) intoxication may initially
produce behavioral changes, drowsiness, vomiting, diarrhea, thirst, and
convulsions. EG and DEG are nephrotoxic. End stages of poisoning may include
renal damage or failure with acidosis. Supportive measures, supplemented with
hemodialysis if indicated, may limit the progression and severity of toxic
effects. For DIETHLYENE GLYCOL POISONING, the role of intravenous ethanol in
the treatment is unclear but it may be of benefit in the view of structural
and toxicological similarities to ethylene glycol. Contact a poison control
center for further treatment information
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flash Point [Method]: 340 ºF/171.11 ºC [ Cleveland Open Cup]
Extinguishing Media:
Use water fog, 'alcohol foam', dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to
extinguish flames. Do not use a direct stream of water.
Fire Fighting Instructions:
Material will not burn unless preheated. Clear fire area of all non-emergency
personnel. Only enter confined fire space with full gear, including a
positive pressure, NIOSH-approved, self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool
surrounding equipment, fire-exposed containers and structures with water.
Container areas exposed to direct flame contact should be cooled with large
quantities of water (500 gallons water per minute flame impingement exposure)
to prevent weakening of container structure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protective Measures:
May burn although not readily ignitable.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when cleaning up spills. Refer
to Section 8.
Spill Management:
Shut off source of leak if safe to do so. Dike and contain spill.
FOR LARGE SPILLS: Remove with vacuum truck or pump to storage/salvage vessels.
FOR SMALL SPILLS: Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or
other suitable material. Place in non-leaking container and seal tightly for
proper disposal.
Reporting:
U.S. regulations require reporting releases of this material to the
environment which exceed the reportable quantity to the National Response
Center at (800)424-8802.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Precautionary Measures:
Avoid heat, open flames, including pilot lights, and strong oxidizing agents.
Use explosion-proof ventilation to prevent vapor accumulation. Ground all
handling equipment to prevent sparking. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and
clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Container Warnings:
Keep containers closed when not in use. Containers, even those that have been
emptied, can contain explosive vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld or
perform similar operations on or near containers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations below the exposure
guidelines/limits.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protective equipment (PPE) selections vary based on potential
exposure conditions such as handling practices, concentration and ventilation.
Information on the selection of eye, skin and respiratory protection for use
with this material is provided below.
Eye Protection:
Chemical Goggles and Face Shield, or Safety glasses with side shields
Skin Protection:
Use protective clothing which is chemically resistant to this material.
Selection of protective clothing depends on potential exposure conditions and
may include gloves, boots, suits and other items. The selection(s) should
take into account such factors as job task, type of exposure and durability
requirements.
Published literature, test data and/or glove and clothing manufacturers
indicate the best protection is provided by:
Neoprene, or Nitrile Rubber
Respiratory Protection:
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level
which is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator must be
worn. Respirator selection, use and maintenance should be in accordance with
the requirements of the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard, 29 CFR 1910.134.
Types of respirator(s) to be considered in the selection process include:
For Mist: Air Purifying, R or P style NIOSH approved respirator. For Vapors:
Air Purifying, R or P style prefilter & organic cartridge, NIOSH approved
respirator. Self-contained breathing apparatus.
