First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
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 cyanosis (causes blue coloring of the skin and nails from lack of oxygen) lung edema (fluid buildup in the lung tissue) May cause respiratory irritation.
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.
Immediately flush eye(s) with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye.
Symptoms: Causes serious eye irritation.
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) Convulsions acute kidney failure (sudden slowing or stopping of urine production)
Immediate Medical Attention
This product contains ethylene glycol. Ethanol decreases the metabolism of ethylene glycol to toxic metabolites. 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. Fomepizole (4-methylpyrazole) is an effective antagonist of alcohol dehydrogenase, and as such, may be used as an antidote in the treatment of ethylene glycol poisoning. Hemodialysis effectively removes ethylene glycol and its metabolites from the body.

Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Water spray Foam Carbon dioxide (CO2) Dry chemical
High volume water jet
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. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Product is compatible with standard fire-fighting agents.
Firefighter Protection
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
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.
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.
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
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. For personal protection see
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area.
Do not smoke.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
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.
Material : Nitrile rubber Remarks : The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed with the producers of the protective gloves.
Wear chemical splash goggles when there is the potential for exposure of the eyes to liquid, vapor or mist.
In the case of vapour formation use a respirator with an approved filter.
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.
