Ethanol is antidotal and its early administration may block the formation of nephrotoxic metabolites of ethylene glycol in the
liver. The objective is to rapidly achieve and maintain a blood ethanol level of approximately 100 mg/dl by giving a loading
dose of ethanol followed by a maintenance dose. Intravenous administration of ethanol is the preferred route. Ethanol blood
levels should be checked frequently. Hemodialysis may be required. 4-Methyl pyrazole (Fomepizole®), a potent inhibitor of
alcohol dehydrogenase, has been used therapeutically to decrease the metabolic consequences of ethylene glycol poisoning.
Fomepizole® is easier to use clinically than ethanol, does not cause CNS depression or hypoglycemia and requires less
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: Use any media appropriate for the surrounding fire.
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 PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE FIGHERS: 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.
NFPA CLASSIFICATION: IIIB (May qualify for the following consumer quantity exemption: Consumer products that contain
not more than 50 percent by volume of water-miscible flammable or combustible liquids, with the remainder of the product
consisting of components that do not burn and where packaged in individual containers that do not exceed 1.3 gal
(5 L) capacity.)
