4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of first aid measures
General advice:
First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the recommended protective
clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection). If potential for exposure exists refer to Section
8 for specific personal protective equipment.

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth
use rescuer protection (pocket mask, etc). If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
qualified personnel. Call a physician or transport to a medical facility.

Skin contact: Wash off with plenty of water.

Eye contact: 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.

Ingestion: No emergency medical treatment necessary. Rinse mouth with water.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:

Aside from the information found under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of
immediate medical attention and special treatment needed (below), any additional important
symptoms and effects are described in Section 11: Toxicology Information.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Page 2 of 11
Product name: DOWANOL™ DPM Glycol Ether Issue Date: 02.08.2019

Notes to physician: Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. No specific
antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical
condition of the patient.

5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: 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..

Extinguishing Media to Avoid: Not Determined

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Hazardous combustion products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in
addition to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. .
Combustion products may include and are not limited to:. Carbon monoxide.. Carbon dioxide..

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire
situation.. Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water
stream to hot liquids..

Advice for firefighters

Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. .
Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and
danger of reignition has passed.. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider
the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles.. Immediately withdraw all personnel
from the area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration of the
container.. Burning liquids may be extinguished by dilution with water.. Do not use direct
water stream. May spread fire.. Move container from fire area if this is possible without
hazard.. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and
minimize property damage..

Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained

breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet,
coat, trousers, boots, and gloves).. Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting
operations. If contact is likely, change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-
contained breathing apparatus. If this is not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing
with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight fire from a remote location. . For protective
equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer to the relevant sections..

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Isolate area. Refer to
section 7, Handling, for additional precautionary measures. Keep unnecessary and unprotected
personnel from entering the area. Keep upwind of spill. Ventilate area of leak or spill. No smoking in

Page 3 of 11
Product name: DOWANOL™ DPM Glycol Ether Issue Date: 02.08.2019

area. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to Section 8, Exposure
Controls and Personal Protection.

Removal of ignition sources: Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Dust Control: Not applicable

Environmental precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or
groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Small spills: Absorb with materials such
as: Sand. Vermiculite. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. Large spills: Contain
spilled material if possible. Pump into suitable and properly labeled containers. See Section 13,
Disposal Considerations, for additional information.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling: Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. 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. Avoid breathing vapor. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep container
closed. See Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION.
Spills of these organic materials on hot fibrous insulations may lead to lowering of the autoignition
temperatures possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion.

Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain
airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure
limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local
exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

Individual protection measures

Eye/face protection: Use safety glasses (with side shields).
Skin protection
Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material when prolonged or frequently
repeated contact could occur. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber.
Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include: Natural
rubber ("latex"). Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or
"vinyl"). NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a
workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to:
Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity,
thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the
instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
Other protection: When prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur, use protective clothing
chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific items such as faceshield, boots, apron, or
full-body suit will depend on the task.
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed
the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements
or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or
discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. For most
conditions no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if discomfort is experienced, use an
approved air-purifying respirator.
The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge.
