E ects of Repeated Exposure:
NFPA Ratings (0-4): Health: 1
Fire: 1
Reactivity: 0
Brief contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. Repeated contact may cause aking and so ening of skin.
Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts.
At room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to low volatility. Mist may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract (nose and
throat).
Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful e ects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts.
In rare cases, repeated excessive exposure to propylene glycol may cause central nervous system e ects.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURE:
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS:
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Water fog or ne spray. Dry chemical re extinguishers. Carbon dioxide re extinguishers. Foam.
Do not use direct water stream. May spread re. Alcohol (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose
synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less e ective.
Keep people away. Isolate re and deny unnecessary entry. Use water spray to cool re exposed
containers and re a ected zone until re is out and danger of reignition has passed. Fight re 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 re. Move container from re area if this is possible without
hazard. Burning liquids may be moved by ushing with water to protect personnel and minimize
property damage.
Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective re ghting
clothing (includes re ghting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). If protective equipment is
not available or not used, ght re from a protected location or safe distance.
Container may rupture from gas generation in a re situation. Violent steam generation or eruption
may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids.
During a re, 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.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Contain spilled material if possible. Collect in suitable and properly labeled container.
Small spills: Absorb with absorbent material. Collect in suitable and properly labeled open containers. Wash the spill site with large quantities of water.
Large spills: Dike area to contain spill. Pump into suitable and properly labeled containers. See Section 13, Disposal Consideration, for additional information.
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Keep unnecessary and
