SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
General fire hazards

No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.

5.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing
media

Alcohol resistant foam. Powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).

Unsuitable extinguishingmedia

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

5.2. Special hazards arisingfrom the substance or mixture

Thermal decomposition may produce smoke, oxides of carbon and lower molecular weight organic
compounds whose composition have not been characterised.

5.3. Advice for firefighters
Special protective
equipment for firefighters

Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.

Special fire fighting
proceduresSpecific methods

Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear
For non-emergency
appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not breathe mist/vapours.
personnel
Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be
contained.
For emergency responders Keep unnecessary personnel away. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8 of theSDS.
6.2. Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
6.3. Methods and material forcontainment and cleaning up

Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this ispossible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following productrecovery, flush area with water.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly toremove residual contamination.

6.4. Reference to othersections

Never return spills to original containers for re-use.
For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.

7.3. Specific end use(s)Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been readand understood. Do not breathe mist/vapours. Avoid prolonged exposure. Should be handled inclosed systems, if possible. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Store locked up. Store in tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (seesection 10 of the SDS).

8.2. Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering
controls

Good general ventilation should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If
applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls tomaintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been
established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Personal protection equipment should be chosen according to the CEN standards and in
General information
discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment.

Eye/face protection
standard EN 166.
Skin protection- Hand protection

Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Neoprene, butyl rubber, nitrile or Viton gloves arerecommended. Full contact: Use gloves classified protection index 6 with breakthrough time of 480
minutes. Minimum glove thickness 0.38 mm.

- Other

Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Use of an impervious apron is recommended.

Respiratory protection

Chemical respirator with organic vapour cartridge and full facepiece.

Thermal hazards

Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.

Eye contact

Direct contact with eyes may cause temporary irritation.

Ingestion

Ingestion of ethylene glycol may result in nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, blindness, liver
damage, irritation, reproductive effects, nerve damage, convulsions, oedema of the lung,cardiopulmonary effects (metabolic acidosis), pneumonia and kidney failure which could result indeath. The single lethal dose for humans is about 100 ml. Inhalation of high levels of vapour or
mists for prolonged periods of time may also result in toxic effects.
