First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Move to fresh air. IF INHALED: Call a POISON CENTER/ doctor if you feel unwell. Keep patient warm and at rest. If unconscious, place in recovery position and seek medical advice.

Symptoms: irritation (nose, throat, airways), Cough

Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothing. If irritation develops, get medical attention. If on skin, rinse well with water. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

Symptoms: Causes skin irritation. May cause an allergic skin reaction.

Eye contact

Immediately flush eye(s) with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye.

Symptoms: Causes serious eye irritation.

Ingestion

Obtain medical attention. Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Symptoms: stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)

Immediate Medical Attention

Call a POISON CENTRE or doctor/physician if exposed or you feel unwell.

Medical Treatment

Ethanol should be administered as soon as possible in cases of severe poisoning since the elimination half-life of ethylene glycol is 3 hours. If medical care will be delayed several hours, give the patient three to four 1-ounce oral 'shots' of 86-proof or higher whiskey before or during transport to the hospital. Hemodialysis effectively removes ethylene glycol and its metabolites from the body.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Water spray, Foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry chemical

Unsuitable media

High volume water jet

Specific hazards

If product is heated above its flash point it will produce vapors sufficient to support combustion. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground and be ignited by heat, pilot lights, other flames and ignition sources at locations near the point of release.

Instructions

Product is compatible with standard fire-fighting agents.

Firefighter Protection

In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

Environmental

Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Cleanup methods

Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Materials: inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust)

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Avoid formation of aerosol. Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. Do not breathe vapours/dust. Do not smoke. Container hazardous when empty. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area.

Hygiene

Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area.

Fire prevention

Do not smoke.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below exposure guidelines (if applicable) or below levels that cause known, suspected or apparent adverse effects.

Hands

Material: Nitrile rubber. Remarks: The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed with the producers of the protective gloves.

Eyes

Wear chemical splash goggles when there is the potential for exposure of the eyes to liquid, vapor or mist.

Respiratory

In the case of vapour formation use a respirator with an approved filter.

Skin/Body

Wear as appropriate: Impervious clothing, Safety shoes, Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place. Discard gloves that show tears, pinholes, or signs of wear.

Environmental

Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.
