2 Polyethylene glycol 2 Page Number: 2 Section 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Serious Skin Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 5 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Cold water may be used. Inhalation Serious Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Ingestion Serious 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. Section 5.

OPEN CUP: 9 C (374 F). These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2). Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances Fire Fighting Media and Instructions Fire Hazards Explosion Hazards Slightly flammable to flammable in presence of open flames and sparks, of heat. Risks of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical impact: Risks of explosion of the product in presence of static discharge: SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet. Section 6. Accidental Release Measures Small Spill Large 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. 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. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.

3 Polyethylene glycol 2 Page Number: 3 Section 7. Handling and Storage Precautions Storage 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. Wear suitable protective clothing. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls Personal Protection 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. Safety glasses. Synthetic apron. Gloves (impervious). Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill Exposure Limits Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product. TWA: (mg/m 3 ) from AIHA Section 9.

Toxicological Information Routes of Entry Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans Other Toxic Effects on Humans Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans other Toxic Effects on Humans Absorbed through skin. Eye contact. Acute oral toxicity (LD5): 7 mg/kg [Guinea pig]. Acute dermal toxicity (LD5): 2 mg/kg [Rabbit]. Acute toxicity of the vapor (LC5): >256 mg/m 3 6 hours [Rat]. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator), of ingestion. Non-hazardous in case of inhalation. Lethal Dose/Conc 5% Kill: LD5[Rabbit] - Route: Oral; Dose 4 mg/kg Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: It is essentially non-irritating. It may cause slight irritation nd allergic contact dermatitis in senstive individuals. It can be absorbed through the skin and cause systemic effects. Eyes: May cause slight, temporary irritation. Inhalation: Low hazard. At room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to low volatility (vapor pressure). If product is heated, inhalation of vapor may cause respiratory tract irritation. Ingestion: Low hazard. Low toxicity. May cause gastrointestinal tract irritation which may include nausea, vomiting, flatulence, diarrhea. May affect urinary system. Chronic Potential Health Effects: Chronic occupational exposure is mainly limited to dermal contact. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause delayed eczematous and immediate uticarial reactions, and allergic contact dermatitis. Repeated application to denuded or burned skin has been associated with a syndrome of high anion gap acidosis, hypercalcemia, hyperosmolality, and renal failure. Ingestion: Prolonged or repeated ingestion may affect urinary system (kidney, ureter, or bladder), liver, metabolism(weight loss, acidosis, hypercalcemia). Section 2. Ecological Information Ecotoxicity BOD5 and COD Products of Biodegradation Toxicity of the Products of Biodegradation Possibly hazardous short term degradation products are not likely. However, long term degradation products may arise. The products of degradation are less toxic than the product itself.
