First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration.

Symptoms: If breathing is irregular or stopped

Skin contact

Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

Eye contact

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.

Ingestion

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.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Water spray. Alcohol-resistant foam. Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide (CO2).

Unsuitable media

Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Specific hazards

NFPA Class IIIB combustible liquid.

Instructions

Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray.

Firefighter Protection

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

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.

Environmental

Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

Cleanup methods

collect with non-combustible absorbent material, and place in container for disposal

Materials: non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite)

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Storage

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.

Fire prevention

Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

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.

Hands

Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.

Eyes

Safety glasses with side-shields

Respiratory

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.

Skin/Body

Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.
