Irritation.
Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation with local redness. Repeated contactmay cause skin irritation with local redness. Prolonged skin contact with very large
amounts may cause dizziness or drowsiness. Repeated skin contact may result inabsorption of harmful amounts.
May be harmful if swallowed.
Brief exposure (minutes) is not likely to cause adverse effects. The odor isobjectionable at 100 ppm; higher levels produce eye, nose and throat irritation andare intolerable at 1000 ppm. Anesthetic effects are seen at or above 1000 ppm.
Inhaling Propylene glycol methyl ether can irritate the nose throat and lungs

causing coughing, wheezing and/or shortness of breath.
Chronic inhalation of tin oxide dust may induce stannosis, a benign form ofpneumoconiosis.

Symptoms of excessive exposure may be anesthetic or narcotic effects; dizzinessand drowsiness may be observed. In animals, effects have been reported on thefollowing organs: Kidney. Liver.
According to information presently available to the New Jersey Department of
Health and Senior Services, Propylene glycol methyl ether has been tested
and has not shown to affect reproduction. It has been toxic to the fetus inlaboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother.
None known.
Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation. Violent steam
generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hotliquids. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel a long distance and accumulatein low lying areas. Ignition and/or flash back may occur. Flammable mixtures may
exist within the vapor space of containers at room temperature. Flammableconcentrations of vapor can accumulate at temperatures above flash point. See
Section 9. Propylene glycol methyl ether may form explosive peroxides during
prolonged storage.
Flammable liquid.
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. Carbon dioxide.

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids
apart while flushing to rinse entire surface of the eye and lids with water. Afterinitial flushing for 1-2 minutes remove contact lenses, if present, and continue
flushing for several additional minutes. Get medical attention.
Wash skin with plenty of soap and water for several minutes.
Get medical attention if skin irritation develops or persists.
Give large quantities of water. Consult medical professional.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting
unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, clear person’s airway and give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, qualified medical personnel may
administer oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Eye wash station.
Tin oxide (stannic oxide) has a very low order of toxicity. Colloidal tin oxide has
been used as a hepatolienographic agent by intra-venous injection in rabbits anddogs without reaction or obvious harm, see The American Journal ofRoentgenology, Radium Therapy and Nuclear Medicine, Vol. LXXVII, No. 1, January,
1957, “A New Hepatolienographic Agent: Tin Oxide”, Harry W. Fischer, M.D. For ageneral overview see Toxicological Profile for Tin, U.S. Department of Health andHuman Services; PB93-110864.
Treatment of exposure to Propylene glycol methyl ether should be directed at thecontrol of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.

Firefighting Measures
Flammability:Extinguishing Media:

Flammable liquid.
Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. CO2 fire extinguishers.
Foam. Do not use direct water stream. Straight or direct water streams may not beeffective to extinguish fire. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred.
General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function

Personal Protection:

7.

REVISION:
SUPERSEDES:
PAGE:

Small spills: Absorb with materials such as sand, vermiculite. Collect in suitableand properly labeled containers. Large spills: Contain spilled material if possible.
Ground and bond all containers and handling equipment. Pump with explosionproof equipment. If available, use foam to smother or suppress. Use only nonsparking tools and equipment, especially when opening and closing containers. See
Section 13 for additional information.
Isolate the area. Refer to Section 7. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel
from entering the area. Keep personnel out of low areas. Keep upwind of spill.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. No smoking in the area. Eliminate all sources ofignition in vicinity of spill or released vapor to avoid fire or explosion. Vapor
explosion hazard. Keep out of sewers. For large spills, warn public of downwind
exposure hazard. Check area with combustible gas detector before reentering area.
Ground and bond all containers and handling equipment. Eliminate all sources ofignition in vicinity of spill or released vapor to avoid fire or explosion. Ground andbond all containers and handling equipment. Use appropriate safety equipment.
Refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.

Handling and Storage
Handling:

Avoid generating mist or dust during use.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Avoid breathing vapor. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep container closed.
Never use air pressure for transferring product. No smoking, open flames orsources of ignition in handling and storage area. Vapors are heavier than air andmay travel a long distance and accumulate in low lying areas. Ignition and/or flash
back may occur. Electrically bond and ground all containers and equipment before
transfer or use of material. Containers, even those that have been emptied, cancontain vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld, or perform similar operations on ornear empty containers. Use of non-sparking or explosion-proof equipment may benecessary depending upon the type of operation. Keep away from heat, sparks andflame. See Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.
This product is a poor conductor of electricity and can become electrostaticallycharged even in bonded or grounded equipment. If sufficient charge isaccumulated, ignition of flammable mixtures can occur. Handling operations thatcan promote accumulation of static charges include but are not limited to mixing,
filtering, pumping at high flow rates, splash filling, creating mists or sprays, tankand container filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, vacuum
truck operation.

Other Precautions:

Spills of these organic materials on hot fibrous insulations may lead to lowering of
the auto-ignition temperatures possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion.

Storage:

Flammable mixtures may exist within the vapor space of containers at room
temperature. Keep container closed. Minimize sources of ignition, such as staticbuild-up, heat, spark, or flame. Store in the following material(s): Carbon steel.
Stainless steel. Phenolic lined steel drums. Do not store in: Aluminum. Copper.
Galvanized iron. Galvanized steel. Store in cool dry area. Do not freeze.

Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Control:

Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne
levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable
exposure limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficientfor most operations. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for someoperations.

Respiratory Protection:

Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed theexposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure
limit requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects
such as respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced or whereindicated. For emergency conditions, use an approved positive-pressure selfcontained breathing apparatus. The following should be effective types of airpurifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge. Dust cartridge.

Skin Protection:

Workers should use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material.
Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron or full body suite will
depend on task. Hand protection: Use gloves, chemically resistant to this material.
Examples of acceptable glove materials include: Butyl, Nitrile and Neoprene. The
selection of glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplaceshould take into account all relevant workplace factors.

Eye Protection:

Goggles or face shield recommended to prevent eye contact.

Ingestion:

Use good personal hygiene. Do not consume or store food in the work area. Wash
hands before smoking or eating.
