Bright lights may appear to be surrounded by halos. Effects may be delayed and typically disappear

spontaneously.

Skin Contact: Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation with local redness.

Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts.

Massive contact with damaged skin or of material sufficiently hot to burn skin may result in absorption

of potentially lethal amounts.

Skin Sensitization: For the minor component(s): Skin contact may cause an allergic skin reaction in

a small proportion of individuals.

Inhalation: Prolonged excessive exposure may cause adverse effects. In confined or poorly

ventilated areas, vapor can easily accumulate and can cause unconsciousness and death due to

displacement of oxygen. May cause respiratory irritation and central nervous system depression.

Excessive exposure may increase sensitivity to epinephrine and increase myocardial irritability

(irregular heartbeats). Symptoms of excessive exposure may be anesthetic or narcotic effects;

dizziness and drowsiness may be observed.

Ingestion: Ingestion of quantities (approximately 65 mL (2 oz.) for diethylene glycol or 100 mL (3 oz.)

for ethylene glycol) has caused death in humans. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of

normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may

cause injury. The data presented are for the following material: Diethylene glycol. May cause nausea

and vomiting. May cause abdominal discomfort or diarrhea. Excessive exposure may cause central

nervous system effects, cardiopulmonary effects (metabolic acidosis), and kidney failure.

Aspiration hazard: Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard.

Effects of Repeated Exposure: Contains a component which is reported to be a weak

organophosphate-type cholinesterase inhibitor. Excessive exposure may produce organophosphate

type cholinesterase inhibition. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be headache,

dizziness, incoordination, muscle twitching, tremors, nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, sweating,

pinpoint pupils, blurred vision, salivation, tearing, tightness in chest, excessive urination, convulsions.

Contains component(s) which have been reported to cause effects on the following organs in humans:

Kidney. Contains component(s) which have been reported to cause effects on the following organs in

animals: Liver. Respiratory tract. Heart.

Cancer Information: For the minor component(s): Findings from a chronic skin painting study by

NTP include liver tumors in mice. Mechanistic studies indicate that tumor formation is of questionable

relevance to humans.

Birth Defects/Developmental Effects: Diethylene glycol has caused toxicity to the fetus and some

birth defects at maternally toxic, high doses in animals. Other animal studies have not reproduced birth

defects even at much higher doses that caused severe maternal toxicity. Contains component(s)

which did not cause birth defects in animals; other fetal effects occurred only at doses toxic to the

mother.

Reproductive Effects: Diethylene glycol did not interfere with reproduction in animal studies except at

very high doses.

4. First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

General advice: First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the

recommended protective clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection). If potential for

exposure exists refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective equipment.

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth

use rescuer protection (pocket mask, etc). If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by

qualified personnel. Call a physician or transport to a medical facility.

Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with water while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get

medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated leather items

such as shoes, belts, and watchbands. Suitable emergency safety shower facility should be

immediately available.

Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with water; remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5

minutes, then continue flushing eyes for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention without delay,

preferably from an ophthalmologist. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be immediately

available.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. If person is fully conscious

give 1 cup or 8 ounces (240 ml) of water. If medical advice is delayed and if an adult has swallowed

several ounces of chemical, then give 3-4 ounces (1/3-1/2 Cup) (90-120 ml) of hard liquor such as 80

proof whiskey. For children, give proportionally less liquor at a dose of 0.3 ounce (1 1⁄2 tsp.) (8 ml)

liquor for each 10 pounds of body weight, or 2 ml per kg body weight [e.g., 1.2 ounce (2 1/3 tbsp.) for a

40 pound child or 36 ml for an 18 kg child].

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Aside from the information found under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of

immediate medical attention and special treatment needed (below), no additional symptoms and

effects are anticipated.

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. If burn is present, treat as any thermal

burn, after decontamination. Due to structural analogy and clinical data, this material may have a

mechanism of intoxication similar to ethylene glycol. On that basis, treatment similar to ethylene glycol

intoxication may be of benefit. In cases where several ounces (60 - 100 ml) have been ingested,

consider the use of ethanol and hemodialysis in the treatment. Consult standard literature for details of

treatment. If ethanol is used, a therapeutically effective blood concentration in the range of 100 - 150

mg/dl may be achieved by a rapid loading dose followed by a continuous intravenous infusion.

Consult standard literature for details of treatment. 4-Methyl pyrazole (Antizol®) is an effective blocker

of alcohol dehydrogenase and should be used in the treatment of ethylene glycol (EG), di- or

triethylene glycol (DEG, TEG), ethylene glycol butyl ether (EGBE), or methanol intoxication if available.

Fomepizole protocol (Brent, J. et al., New England Journal of Medicine, Feb. 8, 2001, 344:6, p. 424-9):

loading dose 15 mg/kg intravenously, follow by bolus dose of 10 mg/kg every 12 hours; after 48 hours,
Product Name: STYROFOAM(TM) CM 2030 POLYOL Issue Date: 07/14/2011

Page 4 of 15

increase bolus dose to 15 mg/kg every 12 hours. Continue fomepizole until serum methanol, EG,

DEG, TEG or EGBE are undetectable. The signs and symptoms of poisoning include anion gap

metabolic acidosis, CNS depression, renal tubular injury, and possible late stage cranial nerve

involvement. Respiratory symptoms, including pulmonary edema, may be delayed. Persons receiving

significant exposure should be observed 24-48 hours for signs of respiratory distress. In severe

poisoning, respiratory support with mechanical ventilation and positive end expiratory pressure may be

required. If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal control. Danger from lung

aspiration must be weighed against toxicity when considering emptying the stomach. Exposure may

increase “myocardial irritability”. Do not administer sympathomimetic drugs such as epinephrine unless

absolutely necessary. Exposure to amine vapors may cause minor transient edema of the corneal

epithelium (glaucopsia) with blurred vision, blue haze and halos around bright objects. Effects

disappear in a few hours and temporarily reduce ability to drive vehicles. Cholinesterase inhibition has

been noted in human exposure but is not of benefit in determining exposure and is not correlated with

signs of exposure. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the

clinical condition of the patient.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing media

Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam.

Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF)

or protein foams may function, but will be less effective.

Extinguishing Media to Avoid: Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Hazardous Combustion Products: 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. Hydrogen halides.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation.

Blowing agent vaporizes quickly at room temperature. Violent steam generation or eruption may occur

upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids.

Advice for firefighters

Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Use water

spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has

passed. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose

holders or monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound

from venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Do not use direct water stream. May

spread fire. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be

moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage. Contain fire water

run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if not contained, may cause environmental damage. Review the

“Accidental Release Measures” and the “Ecological Information” sections of this (M)SDS.

Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing

apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers,

boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely,

change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus. If this is

not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight fire

from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer to

the relevant sections.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Isolate area. Only

trained and properly protected personnel must be involved in clean-up operations. Keep unnecessary

and unprotected personnel from entering the area. Keep personnel out of confined or poorly ventilated

areas. Keep upwind of spill. Spilled material may cause a slipping hazard. Ventilate area of leak or

spill. Confined space entry procedures must be followed before entering the area. Refer to Section 7,

Handling, for additional precautionary measures. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional

information, refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.

A “skin” notation following the inhalation exposure guideline refers to the potential for dermal

absorption of the material including mucous membranes and the eyes either by contact with vapors or

by direct skin contact.

It is intended to alert the reader that inhalation may not be the only route of exposure and that

measures to minimize dermal exposures should be considered.

Personal Protection

Eye/Face Protection: Use chemical goggles. If exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face

respirator.

Skin Protection: When prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur, use protective clothing

chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific items such as faceshield, boots, apron, or

full-body suit will depend on the task. When handling hot material, protect skin from thermal burns as

well as from skin absorption.

Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material when prolonged or

frequently repeated contact could occur. If hands are cut or scratched, use gloves chemically

resistant to this material even for brief exposures. Use gloves with insulation for thermal

protection, when needed. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Chlorinated
Product Name: STYROFOAM(TM) CM 2030 POLYOL Issue Date: 07/14/2011

Page 6 of 15

polyethylene. Polyethylene. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate (“EVAL”). Polyvinyl alcohol (“PVA”).

Styrene/butadiene rubber. Viton. Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include:

Butyl rubber. Natural rubber (“latex”). Polyvinyl chloride (“PVC” or “vinyl”). NOTICE: The

selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace

should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other

chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity,

thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the

instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.

Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed

the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements

or guidelines, use an approved respirator. When respiratory protection is required, use an approved

positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus or positive-pressure airline with auxiliary selfcontained air supply. For emergency conditions, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained

breathing apparatus. In confined or poorly ventilated areas, use an approved self-contained breathing

apparatus or positive pressure air line with auxiliary self-contained air supply.

Ingestion: Avoid ingestion of even very small amounts; do not consume or store food or tobacco in

the work area; wash hands and face before smoking or eating.

Engineering Controls

Ventilation: Use engineering controls to maintain airborne level below exposure limit requirements or

guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, use only in enclosed

systems or with local exhaust ventilation. Exhaust systems should be designed to move the air away

from the source of vapor/aerosol generation and people working at this point. Lethal concentrations

may exist in areas with poor ventilation.
