DOWANOL™ PMA Glycol Ether Acetate

Move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing; consult a physician.

Wash off with plenty of water.

Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a physician, preferably an ophthalmologist.

Rinse mouth with water. No emergency medical treatment necessary.

Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less effective.

Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel a long distance and accumulate in low lying areas. Ignition and/or flash back may occur.

Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas where gases (fumes) can accumulate. Burning liquids may be extinguished by dilution with water. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Eliminate ignition sources. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage.

Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spill or released vapor to avoid fire or explosion. Isolate area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the area. Keep personnel out of low areas.

Absorb with materials such as: Sand. Vermiculite. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers.

Contain spilled material if possible. Pump with explosion-proof equipment. If available, use foam to smother or suppress. Pump into suitable and properly labeled containers.

Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater.

Absorb with materials such as: Sand. Vermiculite. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. Pump with explosion-proof equipment.

Materials: Sand. Vermiculite.

Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. No smoking, open flames or sources of ignition in handling and storage area. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel a long distance and accumulate in low lying areas. Ignition and/or flash back may occur. Electrically ground and bond all equipment. Use of non-sparking or explosion-proof equipment may be necessary, depending upon the type of operation. Containers, even those that have been emptied, can contain vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld, or perform similar operations on or near empty containers. Spills of these organic materials on hot fibrous insulations may lead to lowering of the autoignition temperatures possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion. This product is a poor conductor of electricity and can become electrostatically charged, even in bonded or grounded equipment. If sufficient charge is accumulated, ignition of flammable mixtures can occur. Handling operations that can promote accumulation of static charges include but are not limited to mixing, filtering, pumping at high flow rates, splash filling, creating mists or sprays, tank and container filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, vacuum truck operations.

Store away from direct sunlight. Minimize sources of ignition, such as static build-up, heat, spark or flame. Store in the following material(s): Carbon steel. Stainless steel. Phenolic lined steel drums. Do not store in: Aluminum. Copper. Galvanized iron. Galvanized steel.

Wash thoroughly after handling.

Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. No smoking, open flames or sources of ignition in handling and storage area.

Stable under recommended storage conditions. See Storage, Section 7.

No data available

Polymerization will not occur.

Product can oxidize at elevated temperatures. Avoid static discharge. Flammable vapors can be released at elevated temperatures.

Avoid contact with oxidizing materials. Avoid contact with: Strong acids. Strong oxidizers.

Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials..

Incinerator or other thermal destruction device.

For unused & uncontaminated product, the preferred options include sending to a licensed, permitted: Incinerator or other thermal destruction device.
