Potential Health Effects

----------------------------------

Inhalation:

No adverse health effects via inhalation.

Ingestion:

Relatively non-toxic. Ingestion of sizable amount (over 100ml) may cause some gastrointestinal upset and

temporary central nervous system depression. Effects appear more severe in individuals with kidney problems.

Skin Contact:

Mild irritant and defatting agent, especially on prolonged contact.

Eye Contact:

May cause transitory stinging and tearing.

Chronic Exposure:

Lactic acidosis, stupor and seizures have been reported following chronic ingestion.

Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:

Dipropylene Glycol 25265-71-8

Kidney disorders.

4. First Aid Measures

Eye Contact:

Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for

at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.  

Skin Contact:

Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation

develops. Cold water may be used.

Serious Skin Contact: Not available.

Inhalation:

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

Get medical attention.

Serious Inhalation: Not available.

Ingestion:

Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an

unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if

symptoms appear.

Serious Ingestion: Not available.

Small Spill:

Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal

container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local

and regional authority requirements.

Large Spill:

Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. Finish cleaning by

spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.

7. Handling and Storage

Protect container from physical damage. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat,

moisture, and incompatible substances. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they

retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Precautions:

Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not

ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the

container or the label. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents.

Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Engineering Controls:

Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below

their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the

work-station location.

Personal Protection: Safety glasses. Lab coat.

Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill:

Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a

specialist BEFORE handling this product.
