Composition / Information on Ingredients
Chemical components, concentration ranges, and hazardous substance identification
| Chemical Name | CAS Number | Concentration | Hazardous |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-(Methoxymethylethoxy) propanol | 34590-94-8 | 10% | No |
| Ingredients determined not to be hazardous | --- | --- | No |
In addition, the NOHSC exposure limit for 2-(Methoxymethylethoxy) propanol is TWA 50ppm (308mg/m). This recommendation is thought to be sufficiently low to prevent objectionable irritation and provide a considerable safety factor against CNS impairment for this ingredient in its own right without taking into account the fact it constitutes only a small percentage of the finished product mixture. The threshold concentration of 2-(Methoxymethylethoxy) propanol below which most people will experience no appreciable risk of health effects is 100 ppm. The probable minimum concentration that may cause tolerable eye, throat, and respiratory irritation is about 75 ppm; the lowest concentration at which vapour is rated tolerable 80 ppm.
Notes
No ingredient in this product is found in hazardous concentrations.
First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If inhaled, remove from contaminated area to fresh air.
Symptoms: Respiratory irritation, difficulty in breathing, anaesthetic or narcotic effects (from excessive inhalation).
If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with running water. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
Symptoms: Prolonged contact may cause inflammation.
If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor or for at least 15-minutes.
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give 3-4 glasses of water. If vomiting occurs, give fluids.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical attention if irritation develops (skin/eye). See a doctor if respiratory irritation or difficulty in breathing occurs. Seek medical attention (ingestion).
Medical Treatment
Treat the patient symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
In the event of a fire, dry-chemical, foam, CO2 and water spray are the recommended extinguishing agents.
Hazardous decomposition products include carbon monoxide, acrid smoke and fumes.
Firefighter Protection
Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Absorb the liquid spill with an inert material and scoop up
Materials: inert material

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Observe precautions stated on product label, and follow industry safety regulations.
Store in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area away. Keep original containers closed when not in use and securely sealed and protected against physical damage.
Eating and smoking should be prohibited where the preparation is used. It is essential that all that come into contact with this material maintain high standards of personal hygiene - i.e. washing hands prior to eating, drinking, smoking or using toilets.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
General exhaust is usually more than adequate to protect workers from exposure to levels above the permissible exposure limits.
Impervious neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves should be worn. Refer to AS/NZS 2161 for information on glove selection.
Wear safety glasses with side or face shields if the method of use presents the likelihood of eye contact. AS1336 and AS/NZS1337 should be consulted for information on eye protection.
A respirator is not required in the normal use of the product. If misting is likely to occur, or if used in poorly ventilated areas where exposure will be above the TWA, an approved mist respirator meeting the requirements outlined in AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716 should be used.
Impervious neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves should be worn. Refer to AS/NZS 2161 for information on glove selection.
