| [Flash Point] 176 | |
| [Autoignition] 370 | |
| [Fire Fighting] Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Combustible material when exposed to heat or flames. To extinguish fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam. | |
| [Upper exp. limit] 3.4 | |
| [Lower exp. limit] .5 | |
| [Fire Potential] Slightly flammable. Combustion requires preheating. Moderate hazard. | |
| [Ingestion] If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. | |
| [Inhalation] Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. | |
| [Skin] Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. | |
| [Eyes] Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. | |
| [Storage] Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. | |
| [Handling] Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. | |
| [Inhalation] May cause respiratory tract irritation. | |
| [Skin] Causes skin irritation. | |
| [Eyes] Causes eye irritation. | |
| [Ingestion] May cause irritation of the digestive tract. | |
| [EC Safety Phrase] S 24/25 | |
| [Personal Protection] Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure. | |
| [Respirators] Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary. | |
| [Exposure Effects] Abnormally low blood pressure or elevated blood pressure may occur as a result of glycol toxicity. Rapid breathing has been reported with ethylene glycol and glycol ether ingestions. CNS depression, seizures, coma, cerebral edema, and delayed neurologic sequelae may occur following most glycol exposures. CNS symptoms are common following exposures to most glycols. Exposures to glycols have resulted in teratogenicity, specifically craniofacial and neural tube closure defects and skeletal dysplasia in animal studies. | |
