HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Appearance & Odor: Fluorescent green liquid. Mild odor.

Health Hazards:
May be harmful or fatal if swallowed. May cause acidosis, cardiopulmonary and kidney effects.
May cause CNS depression.

NFPA Rating (Health, Fire, Reactivity): 2, 1, 0
Hazard Rating:Least - 0 Slight - 1 Moderate - 2 High - 3 Extreme - 4

Inhalation:

If irritation occurs, a temporary burning sensation, minor redness, swelling, and/or blurred vision may result.

May cause slight irritation of the skin. If irritation occurs, a temporary burning sensation and minor redness and/or swelling may result. Other adverse effects not expected from brief skin contact.

May be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Contains ethylene glycol and/or diethylene glycol which are toxic when swallowed. A lethal dose for an adult is 1 ml per kilogram or about 4 ounces (1/2 cup). Severe kidney damage can occur as a result of ingestion. Ingestion may result in nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. Metabolic acidosis and cardiopulmonary effects can occur following ingestion. May cause Central Nervous System (CNS) depression.

Refer to Section 11, Toxicological Information, for specific information on the following effects: Developmental Toxicity

The following organs and/or organ systems may be damaged by overexposure to this material and/or its components: Cardiovascular System, Kidney, Liver, Lungs

May cause cardiopulmonary effects including rapid respiration and heartbeat, cyanosis and in severe cases, pulmonary edema and pneumonia. Early to moderate CNS depression may be evidenced by giddiness, headache, dizziness and nausea. In extreme cases, unconsciousness and death may occur. Kidney damage may be indicated by changes in urine output or appearance, pain upon urination or in the lower back or general edema (swelling from fluid retention). Liver damage may be indicated by loss of appetite, jaundice (yellowish skin and eye color), fatigue and sometimes pain and swelling in the upper right abdomen.

Pre-existing eye, skin, respiratory, liver and kidney disorders and may be aggravated by exposure to this product.
For additional health information, refer to section 11.

SECTION 4

FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:

Flush exposed area with water and follow by washing with soap if available. If skin irritation persists after washing, get medical advice.

Flush eyes with plenty of water while holding eyelids open. Rest eyes for 30 minutes. If eye irritation persists, seek medical advice.

DO NOT take internally. If swallowed, IMMEDIATELY contact a poison control center, emergency treatment center, or physician. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into the lungs.

Note to Physician:
IMMEDIATE TREATMENT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! Ethylene Glycol (EG) and Diethylene Glycol (DEG) intoxication may initially produce behavioral changes, drowsiness, vomiting, diarrhea, thirst, and convulsions. EG and DEG are nephrotoxic. End stages of poisoning may include renal damage or failure with acidosis. Supportive measures, supplemented with hemodialysis if indicated, may limit the progression and severity of toxic effects. May cause

cardiopulmonary effects. For ETHYLENE GLYCOL POISONING, intravenous ethanol is a recognized antidotal treatment; other antidotal treatments also exist for ethylene glycol poisoning.

 SECTION 5

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash Point [Method]: 260 ºF/126.67 ºC [ Pensky-Martens Closed Cup]

Prevent run off from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers or drinking water supply. Use water fog, 'alcohol foam', dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames. Do not use a direct stream of water.

Do not enter confined fire space without full bunker gear (helmet with face shield, bunker coats, gloves and rubber boots), including a positive pressure, NIOSH approved, self-contained breathing apparatus.

SECTION 6

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Protective Measures:

May burn although not readily ignitable.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when cleaning up spills. Refer to Section 8.

Spill Management:

Shut off source of leak if safe to do so. Dike and contain spill.

FOR LARGE SPILLS: Remove with vacuum truck or pump to storage/salvage vessels.

FOR SMALL SPILLS: Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material. Place in non-leaking container and seal tightly for proper disposal.

U.S. regulations require reporting releases of this material to the environment which exceed the reportable quantity to the National Response Center at (800)424-8802.

SECTION 7

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Do not store in open or unlabeled containers. Store in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation. Keep away from open flames and high temperatures.

Keep containers closed when not in use. Containers, even those that have been emptied, can contain explosive vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld or perform similar operations on or near containers.

Exposure Controls

Personal protective equipment (PPE) selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as handling practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of eye, skin and respiratory protection for use with this material is provided below.

Chemical Goggles - If liquid contact is likely., or Safety glasses with side shields

Use protective clothing which is chemically resistant to this material. Selection of protective clothing depends on potential exposure conditions and may include gloves, boots, suits and other items. The selection(s) should take into account such factors as job task, type of exposure and durability requirements.

Published literature, test data and/or glove and clothing manufacturers indicate the best protection is provided by:

Neoprene, or Nitrile Rubber

Respiratory Protection:

If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator must be worn. Respirator selection, use and maintenance should be in accordance with the requirements of the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard, 29 CFR 1910.134.

Types of respirator(s) to be considered in the selection process include:

For Mist: Air Purifying, R or P style NIOSH approved respirator.
