First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration.
Symptoms: If breathing is irregular or stopped
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.
Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Immediate Medical Attention
consult a physician. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice. Call a physician immediately. If swallowed, call a poison control centre or doctor immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water spray. Alcohol-resistant foam. Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
NFPA Class IIIB combustible liquid.
Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Remove all sources of ignition. Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13). Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Mix thoroughly before use. When stored in the liquid form, PEGs should be padded with a dry inert gas, such as nitrogen, to prevent oxygen or air from entering the tank. Prolonged storage in the presence of air or oxygen may cause product degradation. Oxidation is not expected when stored under a nitrogen atmosphere. Use dry inert gas having at least -40°C (-40°F) dew point.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Trace amounts of ethylene oxide may be present in the product and could accumulate in vapor spaces of storage or transport vessels.
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.
Safety glasses with side-shields
Respiratory protection is normally not required except in emergencies or when conditions cause excessive airborne levels of mists or vapors. Use NIOSH approved respiratory protection.
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.
