Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES 

SWALLOWED 

■ - Not considered a normal route of entry. 

■ - For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor. 

■ - Avoid giving milk or oils. 

■ - Avoid giving alcohol. 

EYE 

■ If aerosols come in contact with the eyes: 

- Immediately hold the eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously for at least 15 minutes with fresh running water. 

- Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower 

lids. 

SKIN 

■ If solids or aerosol mists are deposited upon the skin: 

- Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). 

- Remove any adhering solids with industrial skin cleansing cream. 

INHALED 

■ If aerosols, fumes or combustion products are inhaled: 

- Remove to fresh air. 

- Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. 

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN 

■ for intoxication due to Freons/ Halons; 

A: Emergency and Supportive Measures 

- Maintain an open airway and assist ventilation if necessary 

- Treat coma and arrhythmias if they occur. Avoid (adrenaline) epinephrine or other sympathomimetic amines that may precipitate ventricular 

arrhythmias. Tachyarrhythmias caused by increased myocardial sensitisation may be treated with propranolol, 1-2 mg IV or esmolol 25-100 

microgm/kg/min IV. 

Followed acute or short term repeated exposures to ethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers and their acetates: 

- Hepatic metabolism produces ethylene glycol as a metabolite. 

- Clinical presentation, following severe intoxication, resembles that of ethylene glycol exposures. 

Treat symptomatically. 

For acute or short term repeated exposures to ethylene glycol: 

- Early treatment of ingestion is important. Ensure emesis is satisfactory. 

- Test and correct for metabolic acidosis and hypocalcaemia. 

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES 

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA 

■ SMALL FIRE: Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. 

LARGE FIRE: Cool cylinder. 

SMALL FIRE: 

- Water spray, dry chemical or CO2 

LARGE FIRE: 

- Water spray or fog. 

FIRE FIGHTING 

■ - Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. 

- May be violently or explosively reactive. 

When any large container (including road and rail tankers) is involved in a fire, 

consider evacuation by 100 metres in all directions. 

FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD 

■ - Non combustible. 

- Not considered to be a significant fire risk. 

Decomposition may produce toxic fumes of: carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen chloride, phosgene, hydrogen fluoride, other pyrolysis 

products typical of burning organic material. 

Contains low boiling substance: Closed containers may rupture due to pressure buildup under fire conditions. 

FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY 

■ - Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 

MINOR SPILLS 

■ - Clean up all spills immediately. 

- Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes. 

MAJOR SPILLS 

■ - Remove leaking cylinders to a safe place. 

- Fit vent pipes. Release pressure under safe, controlled conditions. 

- DO NOT exert excessive pressure on valve; DO NOT attempt to operate damaged valve. 

- Clear area of personnel and move upwind. 

- Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. 

Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS. 

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE 

PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING 

■ - Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation. 

- Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. 

SUITABLE CONTAINER 

■ - DO NOT use aluminium or galvanised containers. 

- Aerosol dispenser. 

- Check that containers are clearly labelled. 

STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY 

■ Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (2-butoxyethanol) and its acetate: 

- May form unstable peroxides in storage 

- is incompatible with oxidisers, permanganates, peroxides, ammonium persulfate, bromine dioxide, nitrates, strong acids, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, 

perchloric acid. 

Methylene chloride 

- is a combustible liquid under certain circumstances even though there is no measurable flash point and it is difficult to ignite 

- its is flammable in ambient air in the range 12-23%; increased oxygen content can greatly enhance fire and explosion potential. 

Haloalkanes: 

- are highly reactive:some of the more lightly substituted lower members are highly flammable; the more highly substituted may be used as fire 

suppressants, not always with the anticipated results. 

- may react with the lighter divalent metals to produce more reactive compounds analogous to Grignard reagents. 

- Segregate from alcohol, water. 

- Compressed gases may contain a large amount of kinetic energy over and above that potentially available from the energy of reaction produced by the 

gas in chemical reaction with other substances. 

STORAGE REQUIREMENTS 

■ - Keep dry to avoid corrosion of cans. Corrosion may result in container perforation and internal pressure may eject contents of can.

■ The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce 

conjunctivitis. 

The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of 

dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling epidermis. 

For ethylene glycol: 

Ethylene glycol is quickly and extensively absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. Limited information suggests that it is also absorbed through 

the respiratory tract; dermal absorption is apparently slow. 

For ethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers and their acetates (EGMAEs): 

Typical members of this category are ethylene glycol propylene ether (EGPE), ethylene glycol butyl ether (EGBE) and ethylene glycol hexyl ether 

(EGHE) and their acetates 

EGMAEs are substrates for alcohol dehydrogenase isozyme ADH-3, which catalyzes the conversion of their terminal alcohols to aldehydes (which are 

transient metabolites). Further, rapid conversion of the aldehydes by aldehyde dehydrogenase produces alkoxyacetic acids, which are the predominant 

urinary metabolites of mono substituted glycol ethers. 

Exposure of pregnant rats to ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (2-butoxyethanol) at 100 ppm or rabbits at 200 ppm during organogenesis resulted in 

maternal toxicity and embryotoxicity including a decreased number of viable implantations per litter. Slight foetoxicity in the form of poorly 

ossified or unossified skeletal elements was also apparent in rats. 

NOTE: Changes in kidney, liver, spleen and lungs are observed in animals 

exposed to high concentrations of this substance by all routes.
