monitoring than ethanol. Additional therapeutic modalities which may decrease the adverse consequences of ethylene glycol

metabolism are the administration of both thiamine and pyridoxine. As there are complicated and serious overdoses, we

recommend you consult with the toxicologists at your poison control center.

5. Firefighting Measures

SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: For large fires, use alcohol type or all-purpose foams. For small fires, use water

spray, carbon dioxide or dry chemical.

SPECIFIC HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL: A solid stream of water or foam directed into hot, burning liquid

can cause frothing. Burning may produce carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Do not spray pool fires directly. Firefighters should wear positive pressure self-

contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing for fires in areas where chemicals are used or stored.

6: Accidental Release Measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: Wear appropriate

protective clothing and equipment (See Section 8).

METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT/CLEANUP: Collect with absorbent material and place in appropriate,

labeled container for disposal or, if permitted flush spill area with water.

7. Handling and Storage

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING:

Harmful or Fatal if Swallowed. Do not drink antifreeze or solution. Avoid eye and prolonged or repeated skin contact.

Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after use. Do not store in opened or

unlabeled containers. Keep container away from open flames and excessive heat. Do not reuse empty containers unless properly

cleaned. Empty containers retain product residue and may be dangerous. Do not cut, weld, drill, etc. containers, even empty.

Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors or mists from process equipment operating at elevated temperature and pressure,

or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions without any obvious ignition sources. Published

"autoignition" or "ignition" temperatures cannot be treated as safe operating temperatures in chemical processes without

analysis of the actual process conditions. Use of this product in elevated temperature applications should be thoroughly

evaluated to assure safe operating conditions.

CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILITIES: Store away from excessive heat and

oxidizers.
