3 COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

Chemical Name CAS-No. Concentration*

Not assigned > 90%

†Glycerin 56-81-5 < 10%

* All concentrations are in percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in percent by volume. 

† This chemical is hazardous according to OSHA/WHMIS criteria. 

4 FIRST AID MEASURES

 

Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If breathing stops, provide artificial respiration. For breathing difficulties, 

oxygen may be necessary. Get medical attention. 

Eye Contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact 

lenses. Get medical attention immediately. 

Skin Contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing 

contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention immediately. Wash contaminated clothing before 

reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes. 

Ingestion: Call a physician or poison control center immediately. DO NOT induce vomiting. if victim is 

fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If 

vomiting occurs, keep head lower than the hips to help prevent aspiration. 

5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing Media: Extinguish with alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder or water fog.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must 

be worn in case of fire.

Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: None known.

Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon Oxides, Nitrogen Oxides 

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

Spill Cleanup Methods: Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for 

chemical waste. Large Spillages: Flush area with water. Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, or 

streams. Dike for later disposal. 

Environmental Precautions: Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. 

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Do not taste or

swallow. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Storage: Store away from incompatible materials. 

8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Limits: 

Chemical Name Source Type Exposure Limits Notes

Glycerin (Mist.) CA. Alberta OELs TWA 10 mg/m3 

Glycerin (Mist.) CA. British Columbia 

OELs

TWA 10 mg/m3 

Glycerin (Respirable mist) CA. British Columbia 

OELs

TWA 3 mg/m3 

Glycerin (Mist.) CA. Ontario OELs TWA 10 mg/m3 

Glycerin (Mist.) MEX. OELs TWA 10 mg/m3 

Glycerin (Mist.) US. ACGIH TLV TWA 10 mg/m3 

Glycerin (Respirable fraction.) US. OSHA Z-1 PEL TWA 5 mg/m3 

Engineering Controls: Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. 

Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust 

ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. 

If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below 

recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure 

limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. In the United States of America, if 

respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA Standard 63 FR 1152, 

January 8, 1998. Respirator type: Air-purifying respirator with an appropriate, government approved 

(where applicable), air-purifying filter, cartridge or canister. Contact health and safety professional or 

manufacturer for specific information.

Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield. Wear a full-face 

respirator, if needed.

Hand Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves. Contact glove manufacturer for specific information.

Skin Protection: Wear appropriate clothing to prevent any possibility of skin contact. 

Hygiene Measures: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the 

material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective 

equipment to remove contaminants.

Environmental Exposure Controls: Environmental manager must be informed of all major spillages.
