Page 2 of 7

Potential Health Effect

Eye : May cause irritation

Skin : May cause irritation

Injection : May cause gastrointestinal discomfort

Inhalation : May cause irritation to respiratory tract

The product contains Ethylene glycol as solvent

Ethylene glycol ACGIH TLV: TWA 1000 ppm; OSHA PEL: TWA 1000 ppm. Liquid 

and high vapor concentrations cause eye irritation. Contact with skin cause drying, 

cracking and irritation. Inhalation causes irritation of the respiratory tracks. 

Repeated or prolong exposure to high vapor concentrations may cause drowsiness. 

Excessive or repeated injection may cause central nervous system effects, liver effects 

and reproductive effects. 

 4. First aid Measures 

The person should be removed from the source of exposure. 

If product is spilled on clothing or skin, remove soiled clothing, wash the affected 

area with lukewarm water for at least 10 - 15 minutes and seek medical advice. 

If product is splashed in eyes, remove contact lenses, irrigate the affected eye with 

lukewarm water for at least 10 - 15 minutes and seek medical advice. 

If product is inhaled or ingested seek medical advice 

 5. Fire-fighting methods

FLASH POINT: >85°C (185°F) 

AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: >200°C (>392°F) 
 Issue Date: 20/08/2011

FIRE EXTINGUISHING MATERIALS: 

General Information 

The product is soluble in water. Containers can 

build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. 

As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing 

apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH 

(approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.

Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. 

Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash

back. It will burn if involved in a fire. Flammable

liquid can release vapors that form explosive 

mixtures at temperatures above the flashpoint. 

Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers 

cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.

Extinguishing Media 

For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, 

water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. For large 

fires, use water spray, fog, or alcohol-resistant 

foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed 

containers. 

 6. Accidental release measures 

 

Environmental precautions 

 

Do not let product enter drains and water 

sources.

Methods for cleaning up 

Contain with absorbent material and dispose. 

Clean with water. Discard material according to 

local state and federal regulation. 

Precautions Use Hand gloves and Safety glass for handling 

spill. 

Handling Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work 

areas. 

Protection against fire and 

explosion 

Keep away from heat and ignition source, Keep 

away from sparks.

 7. Handling and storage 

 

Exposure to Moisture No effect on Moisture Exposure.

Handling 

Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a 

well-ventilated area. Ground and bond containers 

when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools 

and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact 

with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers 

retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and 

can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. 

Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid 

ingestion and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, 

weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty 

containers to heat, sparks or open flames. 

Storage 

Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep 

away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly 

closed container. Keep from contact with 

oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, wellventilated area away from incompatible 

substances. Flammables-area. Do not store near 

perchlorates, peroxides, chromic acid or nitric 

acid. 

 8. Exposure controls and personal protection 

Engineering Controls: Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Facilities 

storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a 

safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne 

concentrations below the permissible exposure limits 

OSHA Vacated PELs: Ethylene Glycol: 1000 ppm TWA; 1900 mg/m3 TWA 

Personal Protective Equipment 

Eyes 

Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or 

chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's 

eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 

1910.133 or European Standard EN166. 

Skin Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin 

exposure. 

Clothing Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent 

skin exposure.

Respirators 

A respiratory protection program that meets 

OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 

requirements or European Standard EN 149 must 

be followed whenever workplace conditions 

warrant a respirator's use.

 11. Toxicological information 

The product contains Ethylene glycol as solvent.

See Section 3 for Potential Health Effects. 

SKIN: The dermal LD50 has not been determined. 

INGESTION: The lethal dose in humans is estimated to be 3oz. or 100ml. The 

oral LD50 for rats is between 6000-13,000 mg/kg. 

MUTAGENICITY (THE EFFECTS ON GENETIC MATERIAL): In vitro 

mutagenicity studies were negative. Animal mutagenicity studies were negative. 

 12. Ecological information 

Environmental Fate and Distribution (Ethylene Glycol):

When released to the soil and water, solvent ethylene glycol generated due to 

reaction with water may evaporate to moderate extent. When released into the soil, 

this ethanol may leach into groundwater. When released into the water, this material 

is expected to have a half life between 1 and 3 days. 

Ecotoxicity: No specific information is available. 

 13. Disposal consideration 

 

Chemical waste generators must determine whether a discarded chemical is 

classified as a hazardous waste according to the local, state and federal regulation. 

Additionally, disposal of the waste generators must follow local, state and federal 

hazardous waste regulations to ensure complete and accurate compliance.
