Health Effect Information
Eye Contact: Avoid eye contact. This product may be slightly irritating to the eyes upon direct contact.
This product has a low vapor pressure and is not expected to present a hazard to the eyes at
ambient conditions. Exposure to mists and vapors may be irritating to the eyes.
Skin Contact: Avoid skin contact. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in slight skin irritation.

MSDS Number: 14978 Page 2 of 8
Inhalation: Avoid prolonged inhalation of mist or vapors. This product has a low vapor pressure and is
not expected to present an inhalation hazard at ambient conditions. Caution should be taken to
prevent aerosolization or misting of this product. This product may be considered a low health
hazard unless inhaled in very high concentrations. Acute and chronic overexposures may be
irritating to the respiratory tract. Symptoms of overexposure include respiratory tract irritation,
headache, drowsiness and narcosis. See Section 11 - Toxicological Information.
Ingestion: Do not ingest. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Signs and symptoms include behavioral
disorders, drowsiness, vomiting, diarrhea, visual disturbances, thirst, convulsions, cyanosis, and
rapid heart rate. Signs and symptoms are central nervous system stimulation followed by
depression, cardiopulmonary effects, and later potentially fatal kidney damage. See Section 11 -
Toxicological Information.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: No information available
Other: A hazard due to inhalation may exist in circumstances where ethylene glycol is handled hot or
where agitation or other mechanical operations may create an excessive fog or heavy mist.
Ethylene glycol is not readily absorbed through skin in acutely toxic amounts. However, animal
studies and human case reports suggest that absorption through the skin repeatedly over a
prolonged period of time can present a health hazard.

4. FIRST AID INFORMATION
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water and continue flushing for 15 minutes or
until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash contaminated area thoroughly with soap and water.
Inhalation: This material has a low vapor pressure and is not expected to present an inhalation exposure at
ambient conditions. If vapor or mist is generated when the material is heated or handled, remove
victim from exposure. If discomfort persists seek medical attention.
Ingestion: If person is conscious, give large quantities of water immediately. Induce vomiting. Seek
immediate medical attention. Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Notes to Physician: Immediate medical treatment is imperative, especially if a large dose has been
ingested. Administer alkali to correct acidosis. Hemodialysis is effective in the management of poisoning.
Intravenous administration of ethanol has been effective.
Other: No information available

Fire Fighting Measures
Special Fire Fighting Procedures and Equipment: Water may be ineffective but can be used to cool
containers exposed to heat or flame to prevent vapor pressure buildup and possible container
rupture. Caution should be exercised when using water or foam as frothing may occur, especially
if sprayed into containers of hot, burning liquid.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Conditions: Dense smoke may be generated while burning. Carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other oxides may be generated as products of combustion.
Hazardous Combustion By-Products: No information available
Other: No information available

Personnel Safeguards: Consult Health Effect Information in Section 3, Personal Protection Information in
Section 8, Fire and Explosion Information in Section 5, and Stability and Reactivity Information
in Section 10.
Regulatory Notifications: Notify appropriate authorities of spill.
Containment and Clean up: Contain spill immediately. Do not allow spill to enter sewers or
watercourses. Absorb with appropriate inert material such as sand, clay, etc. Large spills may be
picked up using vacuum pumps, shovels, buckets, or other means and placed in drums or other
suitable containers.
Other: No information available

Exposure Limits and Guidelines
Component CAS No. Exposure Limit
ETHYLENE GLYCOL 107-21-1 ACGIH - TLV: Ceiling 50 ppm
Personal Protective Equipment
Eye/Face Protection: Eye protection is not required under conditions of normal use. If material is
handled such that it could be splashed into eyes, wear plastic face shield or splash-proof safety
goggles.
Skin Protection: Skin protection is not required under conditions of normal use. For prolonged or
repeated exposures, use impervious clothing (boots, gloves, aprons, etc.) over parts of the body
subject to exposure. Impervious clothing should not consist of polyvinyl alcohol. Launder soiled
clothes.

Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection is not required under conditions of normal use. If vapor
or mist is generated when the material is heated or handled, use an organic vapor respirator with a
dust and mist filter. All respirators must be NIOSH certified.
Personal Hygiene: Consumption of food and beverage should be avoided in work areas where
hydrocarbons are present. Always wash hands and face with soap and water before eating,
drinking, or smoking.
Engineering Controls / Work Practices
Ventilation: General room ventilation is normally sufficient to prevent buildup of hazardous
concentrations. If vapor or mist is generated when the material is heated or handled, adequate
ventilation must be provided.

Inhalation Sensitization: No information available
Oral Toxicity: Ingestion of small quantities (100 ml) of ethylene glycol may be fatal.
Mutagenicity: The absence of carcinogenic potential for ethylene glycol has been supported by numerous
in vitro genotoxicity studies showing that it does not produce mutagenic or clastogenic effects.
Carcinogenicity: Based on data from long-term animal studies, ethylene glycol does not pose a
carcinogenic risk to humans.
Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity: Ethylene glycol has been shown to produce reproductive and
developmental effects in experimental animals. The no-effect doses for developmental toxicity for
ethylene glycol given by gavage over the period of organogenes is has been shown to be 150
mg/kg/day for the mouse and 500 mg/kg/day for the rat. The relevance of these reproductive and
developmental animal studies to human exposures to ethylene glycol is currently unknown.
Teratogenicity: Ethylene glycol has been shown to produce dose-related teratogenic effects in rats and
mice when given by gavage or in drinking water at high concentrations or doses.
