SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance & Odor: Fluorescent green liquid. Mild odor.
Health Hazards: May be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Do not induce vomiting.
May cause aspiration pneumonitis. May cause CNS depression.
NFPA Rating (Health, Fire, Reactivity): 2, 1, 0
Hazard Rating:Least - 0 Slight - 1 Moderate - 2 High - 3
Extreme - 4
Inhalation:
In applications where vapors (caused by high temperature) or mists (caused by
mixing or spraying) are created, breathing may cause a mild burning sensation
in the nose, throat and lungs.
Eye Irritation:
May cause slight irritation of the eyes. If irritation occurs, a temporary
burning sensation, minor redness, swelling, and/or blurred vision may result.
Skin Contact:
May cause slight irritation of the skin. If irritation occurs, a temporary
burning sensation and minor redness and/or swelling may result. Other adverse
effects not expected from brief skin contact.
Ingestion:
This material may be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Ingestion may result in
vomiting; aspiration (breathing) of vomitus into lungs must be avoided as even
small quantities may result in aspiration pneumonitis. Contains ethylene
glycol and/or diethylene glycol which are toxic when swallowed. A lethal dose
for an adult is 1 ml per kilogram or about 4 ounces (1/2 cup). Severe kidney
damage can occur as a result of ingestion. May cause Central Nervous System
(CNS) depression.
Other Health Effects:
Refer to Section 11, Toxicological Information, for specific information on
the following effects:
Developmental Toxicity
Primary Target Organs:
The following organs and/or organ systems may be damaged by overexposure to
this material and/or its components:
Kidney, Liver
Signs and Symptoms:
Irritation as noted above. Aspiration pneumonitis may be evidenced by
coughing, labored breathing and cyanosis (bluish skin); in severe cases death
may occur. Early to moderate CNS depression may be evidenced by giddiness,
headache, dizziness and nausea. In extreme cases, unconsciousness and death
may occur. Kidney damage may be indicated by changes in urine output or
appearance, pain upon urination or in the lower back or general edema
(swelling from fluid retention). Liver damage may be indicated by loss of
appetite, jaundice (yellowish skin and eye color), fatigue and sometimes pain
and swelling in the upper right abdomen.
Aggravated Medical Conditions:
Pre-existing eye, skin, respiratory, liver and kidney disorders and may be
aggravated by exposure to this product.
For additional health information, refer to section 11.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inhalation:
If the victim has difficulty breathing or tightness of the chest, is dizzy,
vomiting or unresponsive, give 100% oxygen with rescue breathing or CPR as
required and transport to the nearest medical facility.
Skin:
Flush exposed area with water and follow by washing with soap if available.
If redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters occur, transport to the nearest
medical facility for additional treatment.
Eye:
Flush eyes with plenty of water while holding eyelids open. Rest eyes for 30
minutes. If redness, burning, blurred vision or swelling occur, transport to
nearest medical facility for additional treatment.
Ingestion:
DO NOT take internally. Do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs
spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into
lungs. Get medical attention.
Note to Physician:
Ethylene Glycol (EG) and Diethylene Glycol (DEG) intoxication may initially
produce behavioral changes, drowsiness, vomiting, diarrhea, thirst, and
convulsions. EG and DEG are nephrotoxic. End stages of poisoning may include
renal damage or failure with acidosis. Supportive measures, supplemented with
hemodialysis if indicated, may limit the progression and severity of toxic
effects. For ETHYLENE GLYCOL POISONING, intravenous ethanol is a recognized
antidotal treatment; other antidotal treatments also exist for ethylene glycol
poisoning.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flash Point [Method]: 260 ºF/126.67 ºC [ Pensky-Martens Closed Cup]
Extinguishing Media:
Use water fog, 'alcohol foam', dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to
extinguish flames. Do not use a direct stream of water.
Fire Fighting Instructions:
Material will not burn unless preheated. Do not enter confined fire space
without full bunker gear (helmet with face shield, bunker coats, gloves and
rubber boots), including a positive pressure, NIOSH approved, self-contained
breathing apparatus.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protective Measures:
May burn although not readily ignitable.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when cleaning up spills. Refer
to Section 8.
Spill Management:
Shut off source of leak if safe to do so. Dike and contain spill.
FOR LARGE SPILLS: Remove with vacuum truck or pump to storage/salvage vessels.
FOR SMALL SPILLS: Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or
other suitable material. Place in non-leaking container and seal tightly for
proper disposal.
Reporting:
U.S. regulations require reporting releases of this material to the
environment which exceed the reportable quantity to the National Response
Center at (800)424-8802.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Precautionary Measures:
Avoid heat, open flames, including pilot lights, and strong oxidizing agents.
Use explosion-proof ventilation to prevent vapor accumulation. Ground all
handling equipment to prevent sparking. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and
clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation. Keep away from open
flames and high temperatures.
Container Warnings:
Keep containers closed when not in use. Containers, even those that have been
emptied, can contain explosive vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld or
perform similar operations on or near containers.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS
Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations below the exposure
guidelines/limits. Eye washes and showers for emergency use.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protective equipment (PPE) selections vary based on potential
exposure conditions such as handling practices, concentration and ventilation.
Information on the selection of eye, skin and respiratory protection for use
with this material is provided below.
Eye Protection:
Chemical Goggles - If liquid contact is likely., or Safety glasses with side
shields
Skin Protection:
Use protective clothing which is chemically resistant to this material.
Selection of protective clothing depends on potential exposure conditions and
may include gloves, boots, suits and other items. The selection(s) should
take into account such factors as job task, type of exposure and durability
requirements.
Published literature, test data and/or glove and clothing manufacturers
indicate the best protection is provided by:

which is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator must be
worn. Respirator selection, use and maintenance should be in accordance with
the requirements of the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard, 29 CFR 1910.134.
Types of respirator(s) to be considered in the selection process include:
For Mist: Air Purifying, R or P style NIOSH approved respirator.
