If potential f or exposure exists, ref er to Section 8 f or specif ic personal protective equipment. If Inhaled Af ter high vapor exposure, remove to fresh air. If breathing is dif f icult, give oxygen. If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should immediately begin artif icial respiration. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should immediately begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Seek immediate medical attention. In Case of Skin Contact If the product contaminates the skin, immediately begin decontamination with running water. Minimum f lushing is f or 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing, taking care not to contaminate eyes. If skin becomes irritated and irritation persists, medical attention may be necessary. Wash contaminated clothing bef ore reuse, discard contaminated shoes. In Case of Eye Contact If this product enters the eyes, check f or and remove any contact lenses. Open eyes while under gently running water. Use suf f icient f orce to open eyelids. "Roll" eyes to expose more surf ace. Minimum f lushing is f or 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention. If Swallowed If swallowed, CALL PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER FOR MOST CURRENT INFORMATION. If prof essional advice is not available, give two glasses of water to drink. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Never induce vomiting or give liquids to someone who is unconscious, having convulsions, or unable to swallow. Seek immediate medical attention. Most Important Symptoms and Effects See Section 11 f or symptoms/ef f ects, acute & chronic. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: There is no specif ic antidote. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. Any material aspirated during vomiting may cause lung injury. Theref ore, emesis should not be induced mechanically or pharmacologically. If it is considered necessary to evacuate the stomach contents, this should be done by means least likely to cause aspiration (such as: Gastric lavage af ter endotracheal intubation). Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures Suitable Extinguishing Media Use dry powder, carbon dioxide. Special Hazards Arising From the Substance/Mixture Isolate from oxidizers, heat, & open f lame. Closed containers may explode if exposed to extreme heat. Applying to hot surf aces requires special precautions. Continue all label precautions! Special PPE and/or Precautions for Firefighters FIRE & EXPLOSION PREVENTIVE MEASURES: NO open f lames. Water spray may be inef f ective on f ire but can protect f ire-f ighters & cool closed containers. Use f og nozzles if water is used. Do not enter conf ined f ire-space without f ull bunker gear. (Helmet with f ace shield, bunker coats, gloves & rubber boots). Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures Keep unprotected personnel away. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment given in Section 8. Methods and Materials Used for Containment Keep from entering storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Cleanup Procedures Stop spill at source. Dike and contain. Collect leaking & spilled liquid in sealable containers as f ar as possible. Section 7: Handling and Storage Precautions for Safe Handling Isolate from oxidizers, heat, & open f lame. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid or repeated breathing of vapor or spray mist. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing.Wear OSHA Standard goggles or f ace shield. Consult Saf ety Equipment Supplier. Wear goggles, f ace shield, gloves, apron & f ootwear impervious to material. Wash clothing bef ore reuse. Avoid free f all of liquid. Ground containers when transf erring. Do not f lame cut, braze, or weld. Continue all label precautions! Conditions for Safe Storage Isolate from strong oxidants. Keep container tightly closed & upright when not in use to prevent leakage. Page 2 of 5 Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Components with Workplace Control Parameters Material: 2(2-Ethoxyethoxy)ethanol CAS-No. 111-90-0 EINECS# 203-919-7, TWA (OSHA): None Known. TLV (ACGIH) 25 ppm. Material: 2(2-Ethoxyethoxy) ethanol: CAS# 111-90-0 c EINECS#: 203-919-7, Ceiling: None Known, STEL (OSHA/ACGIH): None Known. HAP: Yes. Each component showing `Yes' under "HAP" is an EPA Hazardous Air Pollutant. Appropriate Engineering Controls WORK & HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash hands, f orearms and f ace thoroughly af ter handling chemical products, bef ore eating, smoking and using toilet f acilities and at the end of the working period. Provide readily accessible eye wash stations & saf ety showers. Remove clothing that becomes contaminated. Destroy contaminated leather articles. Launder or discard contaminated clothing. EMERGENCY OR PLANNED ENTRY INTO UNKNOWN CONCENTRATIONS OR IDLH CONDITIONS Positive pressure, f ull-f ace piece Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus; or positive pressure, f ull-f ace piece Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus with an auxilliary positive pressure Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. VENTILATION LOCAL EXHAUST: Necessary MECHANICAL (GENERAL): Necessary SPECIAL: None OTHER: None Please ref er to ACGIH document, "Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices", most recent edition, f or details. PPE - Eye/Face Protection Saf ety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists or dusts. If contact is possible, chemical splash goggles should be worn, when a higher degree of protection is necessary, use splash goggles or saf ety glasses. Face-shields are recommended when the operation can generate splashes, sprays or mists. PPE - Skin Protection Use gloves chemically resistant to this material. Pref erred examples: Butyl rubber, Chlorinated Polyethylene, Polyethylene, Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"), Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA"). Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include: Natural rubber ("latex"), Neoprene, Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitril") or ("NBR"), Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC") or "vinyl"), Viton. Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Considering the parameters specif ied by the glove manuf acturer, check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be noted that the time to breakthrough f or any glove material may be dif f erent f or dif f erent glove manuf acturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated. PPE - Body Protection Use body protection appropriate f or task. Cover-all, rubber aprons, or chemical protective clothing made from impervious materials are generally acceptable, depending on the task. PPE - Respiratory Protection Airborne concentrations should be kept to lowest levels possible. If vapor, dust or mist is generated and the occupational exposure limit of the product, or any component of the product, is exceeded, use appropriate NIOSH or MSHA approved air purif ying or air-supplied respirator authorized in 29 CFR 1910.134, European Standard EN 149, or applicable State regulations, af ter determining the airborne concentration of the contaminant. Air supplied respirators should always be worn when airborne concentration of the contaminant or oxygen content is unknown. Maintain airborne contaminant concentrations below exposure limits. If adequate ventilation is not available or there is potential f or airborne exposure above the exposure limits, a respirator may be worn up to the respirator exposure limitations, check with respirator equipment manuf acturer's recommendations/limitations. For particulates, a particulate respirator (NIOSH Type N95 or better f ilters) may be worn. If oil particles (such as: lubricants, cutting f luids, glycerine, and so on) are present, use a NIOSH Type R or P f ilter. For a higher level of protection, use positive pressure supplied air respiration protection or Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus or if oxygen levels are below 19.5% or are unknown.
