SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
General: After adequate first aid, no further treatment is required unless symptoms reappear.
Inhalation: If overcome by exposure, remove victim to fresh air immediately. Give oxygen or artificial
respiration as needed. Obtain medical attention if breathing difficulty persists.
Eye: Thoroughly flush the eyes with large amounts of clean low-pressure water for at least 15
minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. If irritation persists, seek medical
attention.
Skin: Promptly remove soiled clothing/wash thoroughly before reuse. Wash skin thoroughly with
mild soap and water. Seek medical attention if discomfort persists.
Ingestion: If large quantity swallowed, give lukewarm water (pint/ 1/2 litre) if victim completely
conscious/alert. Do not induce vomiting. Risk of damage to lungs exceeds poisoning risk.
Seek medical attention if discomfort persists.

Fire Fighting Protective Equipment/Clothing: Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing
Instructions: apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters protective clothing will only provide limited
protection.
INSTRUCTIONS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or
monitor nozzles. Move containers form fire area if you can do it without risk. Cool
containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw
immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank.
Always stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose
holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Release Response: Eliminate all sources of ignition. All equipment used when handling this product must be
grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without
risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor
suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or
other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Use clean non-sparking tools to
collect absorbed material.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Properly ground containers before
beginning transfer. Wear recommended personal protective equipment. Isolate, vent,
drain, wash and purge systems or equipment before maintenance or repair. Handle empty
containers with care. Flammable/combustible residue remains after emptying.
Storage: Store in properly lined steel/stainless steel to avoid slight discoloration from mild
steel/copper. Store only in tightly closed, properly vented containers away from heat,
sparks, open flame and strong oxidizing agents. Some plastics/rubbers are attacked by
Glycol Ethers/Ether Esters. This product will absorb water if exposed to air. Storage under
nitrogen atmosphere is recommended to minimize possible formation of highly reactive
peroxides.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering If handling results in mist/aerosol and/or high temperatures, special ventilation may be
Controls: required to avoid exceeding nuisance particulate exposure limit(s) to prevent combustible
mixtures, which can form below flash point.
Personal Protection:
Inhalation: A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 or ANSI Z88.2
requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator use.
Skin: Wear chemical resistant gloves such as: Butyl rubber. Nitrile. or Viton(TM). When skin
contact is possible, protective clothing including gloves, apron, sleeves, boots, head and
face protection should be worn.
Eye: Eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield must be worn when
possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or spraying liquid, airborne particles, or
vapor.
Other Hygienic Selection of appropriate personal protective equipment should be based on an evaluation
Practices: of the performance characteristics of the protective equipment relative to the task(s) to be
performed, conditions present, duration of use, and the hazards and/or potential hazards
that may be encountered during use. Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers

SKIN EFFECTS: High concentrations of Propylene Glycol in water when held in contact with human skin
under closed conditions have been reported to cause skin irritation (Cosmetics and Toiletries 99:83-
91,1984). The authors attribute the observations to a sweat retention reaction by skin. No reactions were
observed in open patch tests with human subjects. One literature report indicates rare eczematous skin
reactions and even more rarely an allergic skin reaction from exposure to Propylene Glycol (Anderson and
Starr, Hautzart 33 (1) 1982).
