POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: DANGER! Causes severe eye burns. Evacuate area.
OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
This product is a 鈥淗azardous Chemical鈥? as defined by the OSHA Hazard Communications Standard, 29 CFR
1910.1200
Potential Health Effects
Eye Contact: May cause severe irritation with corneal injury which may result in permanent impairment of vision,
even blindness. Chemical burns may occur.
Skin Contact: Brief contact is essentially non-irritating to skin.
Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts.
Inhalation: Prolonged exposure is not expected to cause adverse effects. At room temperature, exposure to
vapor is minimal due to low volatility; vapor form heated material may cause adverse effects.
Ingestion: Low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal handling
operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury. Oral toxicity is
expected to be greater in humans due to triethylene glycol even though tests in animals show a lower degree of
toxicity. Oral toxicity is expected to be moderate in humans due to diethylene glycol even though test with
animals show a lower degree of toxicity.
Effects of Repeated Exposure: Vapor from heated material or mist may cause respiratory irritation. In animals,
effects have been reported on the following organs: Bladder, Blood, Gastrointestinal tract, Kidney, Liver, Nervous
system, Respiratory tract.
Birth Defects/Developmental Effects: Triethylene glycol did not cause birth defects in animals; other effects were
seen in the fetus only at very high doses which caused toxic effects to the mother. Diethylene glycol has caused
toxicity to the fetus and some birth defects at maternally toxic, high doses in animals. Other animal studies have
not reproduced birth defects even at much higher doses that caused severe maternal toxicity.

AMSOIL Material Safety Data Sheet Date Issued/Revised: January 4, 2008
Supersedes:
Reproductive Effects: Diethyhlene glycol did not interfere with reproduction in animal studies except at very high
doses.
Section 4: First Aid Measures
EYE: Wash immediately and continuously with flowing water for at least 30 minutes. Remove contact lenses
after the first 5 minutes and continue washing. Obtain prompt medical consultation, preferably from an
ophthalmologist.
SKIN: Wash skin with plenty of soap and water.
INHALATION: Remove exposed person to fresh air. If breathing is labored give oxygen. If breathing has
stopped apply artificial respiration. Get immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Seek medical attention immediately. If person is fully conscious
give 1 cup or 8 ounces (240ml) of water. If medical advice is delayed and if an adult has
swallowed several ounces of chemical, then give 3-4 ounces (1/3 鈥? 1/2 Cup) of (90-120 ml) of
hard liquor such as 80 proof whiskey. For children, give proportionally less liquor at a dose of 0.3
ounces (1 陆 tsp.) (8ml) liquor for each 10 pounds of body weight, or 2ml per kg body weight [e.g.,
1.2 ounces (2 1/3 tbsp.) for a 40 pound child or 36 ml for an 18 kg child]
NOTE TO Due to structural analogy and clinical data, this material may have a mechanism of intoxication
PHYSICIAN: similar to ethylene glycol. On that basis, treatment similar to ethylene glycol intoxication may be of benefit.
In cases where several ounces (60 鈥? 100 ml) have been ingested, consider the use of ethanol and
hemodialysis in the treatment. Consult standard literature for details of treatment. If ethanol is used, a
therapeutically effective blood concentration in the range of 100 鈥? 150 mg/dl may be achieved by a rapid
loading dose followed by a continuous intravenous infusion. Consult standard literature for details of
treatment. 4-Methyl pyrazole (Antizol庐) is an effective blocker of alcohol dehydrogenase and should be
used in the treatment of ethylene glycol (EG), di- or triethylene glycol (DEG, TEG), Ethylene glycol butyl
ether (EGBE), or methanol intoxication if available. Fomepizole protocol (Brent, J. et al., New England
Journal of Medicine, Feb. 8, 2001 344:6, p. 424-9): loading dose 15 mg/kg intravenously, following by bolus
dose of 10 mg/kg every 12 hours; after 48 hours, increase bolus dose to 15mg/kg every 12 hours. Continue
fomepizole until serum methanol, EG, DEG, TEG or EGBE are undetectable. The signs and symptoms of
poisoning include anion gap metabolic acidosis, CNS depression, renal tubular injury, and possible late
stage cranial nerve involvement. Respiratory symptoms, including pulmonary edema, may be delayed.
Persons receiving significant exposure should be observed 24-48 hours for signs respiratory distress.
Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. Chemical eye burns may require extended
irrigation. Obtain prompt consultation, preferably from an ophthalmologist. If lavage is performed, suggest
endotracheal and/or esophageal control. Danger from lung aspiration must be weighed against toxicity
when considering emptying the stomach. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of
symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water fog or fine spray. Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, and foam. Do not use direct water
stream. May spread fire. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams
(including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less effective.
FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Use water spray to cool
fire exposed containers and fire zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed. Fight fire from
protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles.
Burning liquid may be moved by flushing water to protect personnel and minimize property damage.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (including fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). If
protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected location or safe distance.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation. Violent
steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to
combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion products may
include and are not limited to carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Combustion products may include trace
amounts of nitrogen oxides.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Small spills: Absorb with materials such as sand or vermiculite.
Collect suitable and properly labeled containers. Large spills: Dike area to contain spill. Pump in suitable and
properly labeled containers.
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to Section 7 & 8,
Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or ground water. See
Section 12, Ecological Information.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
HANDLING: Keep containers closed. Do not puncture or incinerate can. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Empty container may retain product residue which may exhibit
hazards of product. Avoid breathing mist.
STORAGE: Store in the following materials: Carbon steel, stainless steel, phenolic lined steel drums. Do not store in
aluminum, copper, galvanized iron or galvanized steel.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Spills of these organic materials on hot fibrous insulations may lead to lowering of the
autoignition temperatures possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion.

VENTILATION: Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below exposure
limits.
RESPIRATORY: Use a NIOSH approved respirator when necessary. Atmospheric levels should be maintained below
the exposure guideline. For most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed; however,
if handling at elevated temperatures without sufficient ventilation, use an approved air-purifying
respirator. The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor
cartridge with a particulate pre-filter.
SKIN: Use Viton or Nitrile gloves to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.
EYE: Use splash goggles or face shield where splashing is expected or can occur. Eye wash should be located in
immediate work area.
INGESTION: Use good personal hygiene. Do not consume or store food in the work area. Wash hands before
smoking or eating
