HAZARD RATING SYSTEM (NFPA)
HEALTH: 1 FLAMMABILITY: 1 REACTIVITY: 0
KEY: 0 鈥? Minimal, 1 鈥? Slight, 2 鈥? Moderate, 3 鈥? Serious, 4 鈥? Severe
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, Ingestion, Skin Contact/Absorption, Eye Contact
EYE: May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Vapors or
mists may cause eye irritation.
SKIN: Prolonged or repeated exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. A single
prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful
amounts. Repeated skin exposure may result in absorption of harmful amounts. Massive contact with
damaged skin or of material sufficiently hot to burn skin may result in absorption of potential lethal
amounts.
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be moderate. Excessive exposure may cause
central nervous system effects, cardiopulmonary effects (metabolic acidosis), and kidney failure.
Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury;
however, swallowing amounts larger than that may cause serious injury, even death.
INHALATION: At room temperature, exposures to vapors are minimal due to physical properties;
higher temperatures may generate vapor levels sufficient to cause adverse effects.
SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: Repeated excessive exposures may cause
severe kidney and also liver and gastrointestinal effects. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure
may be central nervous system effects. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be nausea
and/or vomiting. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be anesthetic or narcotic effects.
Observations in animals include formation of bladder stones after repeated oral doses of ethylene
glycol. Reports of kidney failure and death in burn patients suggest the ethylene glycol may have been
a factor. The use of topical applications containing this material may not be appropriate in severely
burned patients or individuals with impaired renal function.
CANCER INFORMATION: Based on data from long-term animal studies, ethylene glycol is not
believed to pose a carcinogenic risk to man.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): Exposure to ethylene glycol has caused birth defects in
laboratory animals only at doses toxic to the mother.
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: Ethylene glycol has not interfered with reproduction in animal
studies except at very high doses.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ensure physician has access to this Material Safety Data Sheet.
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper
lids. Get medical attention as soon as possible. Contact lenses should never be worn when working
with this chemical.
Skin: Flush area of skin contact immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing. If irritation persists after flushing, get medical attention
promptly. Wash clothing before re-use.
Inhalation: If inhaled, immediately remove victim to fresh air and call emergency medical care.
If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Ingestion: If swallowed, give two glasses of water and immediately call physician. Induce
vomiting of conscious patient by pressing finger down throat. Small amounts entering mouth should
be rinsed out for 5 minutes.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES
FLASH POINT: 119 掳C (247 掳F)
METHOD USED: Setaflash
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Autoignition temperature for ethylene glycol is 398 掳C (748 掳F).
FLAMMABILITY LIMITS - % of vapor concentration at which product can ignite in presence of
spark.
Lower Flammability Limit: 3.2%
Upper Flammability Limit: 22%
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Hazardous combustion products may include and
are not limited to carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and trace amounts of aldehydes and organic acids.
When available oxygen is limited, as in a fire or when heated to very high temperatures be a hot wire
or plate, carbon monoxide and other hazardous compounds such as aldehydes might be generated.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water fog or fine spray. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are
preferred if available. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may
function, but much less effectively. Carbon dioxide. Dry chemical. Do not use direct water stream.
May spread fire.

FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: No fire and explosion hazards expected under normal storage
and handling conditions (i.e. ambient temperatures). However, ethylene glycol or solutions of
ethylene glycol and water can form flammable vapors with air if heated sufficiently. Keep people
away. Isolate fire area and deny unnecessary entry.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTERS: Wear positive-pressure, self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire-fighting helmet, coat,
pants, boots and gloves).
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
EMERGENCY CONTACTS: CHEMTREC: 1-800-424-9300
KOST USA: 1-513-583-7079
PROTECT PEOPLE: Material is moderately toxic when ingested. Take adequate precautions to
keep people, especially children away from spill site. PVC-coated rubber gloves and monogoggles or
faceshield can be used during cleanup of spill site.
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT: Do not dump used product or diluted material into sewers, on
the ground, or into any body of water.
CLEANUP: Small spills: Soak up with absorbent material. Large spills: Dike and pump into
suitable containers for disposal. Ensure compliance with all applicable statutes that require
notification of appropriate government officials.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Product on surfaces can cause slippery conditions. Practice reasonable care and cleanliness. Avoid
breathing spray mists if generated. Keep out of reach of children. Product may become a solid at
temperatures below -18掳C (0掳F). Do not store near food, foodstuffs, drugs or potable water supplies.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Respiratory protection is required if airborne concentration exceeds TLV. At any
Protection: detectable concentration, any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full face
piece and operated in a pressure-demand or other positive pressure mode, or any
supplied-air respirator with a full face piece and operated in a pressure-demand or
other positive pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained
breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive pressure mode.
Escape: Any air-purifying full face piece respirator (gas mask) with a chin-style or
front-or back-mounted organic vapor canister or any appropriate escape-type self-
contained breathing apparatus.
