No data available
3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing; consult a physician.
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: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel.
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: Do not use direct water stream.. May spread fire..
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..
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.. 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.. Contain fire water run-off if possible. Fire
water run-off, if not contained, may cause environmental damage.. Review the "Accidental
Release Measures" and the "Ecological Information" sections of this (M)SDS. .
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: Contain spilled material if possible.
Absorb with materials such as: Sand. Dirt. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. Do
not use water for cleanup. See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for additional information.

Conditions for safe storage: Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Store in the following
material(s): Stainless steel. Polypropylene. Polyethylene-lined container. Teflon. Glass-lined
container. Aluminum. Plasite 3066 lined container. Plasite 3070 lined container. 316 stainless steel.
Storage stability
Storage temperature: Storage Period:
15 - 35 °C 24 Month
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.

NOTE: The physical data presented above are typical values and should not be construed as a
specification.
Chemical stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions. See Storage, Section 7.
Conditions to avoid: Product can oxidize at elevated temperatures. Generation of gas during
decomposition can cause pressure in closed systems.
Incompatible materials: Avoid contact with oxidizing materials. Avoid contact with: Strong acids.
Strong bases. Avoid unintended contact with isocyanates. The reaction of polyols and isocyanates
generates heat.
Hazardous decomposition products: Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply
and the presence of other materials.. Decomposition products can include and are not limited to:.
Carbon dioxide.. Alcohols.. Ethers.. Hydrocarbons.. Ketones.. Polymer fragments..

Polyalkylene glycol
Typical for this family of materials. LD50, Rat, > 4.000 mg/kg Estimated. No deaths
occurred at this concentration.
Polyalkylene glycol
Typical for this family of materials. LD50, Rabbit, > 10.000 mg/kg
At room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to low volatility; single exposure is
not likely to be hazardous.
