Emergency overview: Low hazard for usual industrial handling. Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid Flash Point: 193°C Warning! Irritant. May cause eye, skin and/or respiratory tract irritation. Target Organs: Not known Potential Health Effects: Eye: May cause eye irritation. Skin: May cause skin irritation. Ingestion: Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastro-intestinal irritation. May cause headache. Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Chronic: Not known.
Eyes: Flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids. Seek medical attention if irritation develops. Skin: Flush skin with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth with water and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Seek medical attention if irritation or symptoms occur. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, supply oxygen. If cough or other symptoms develop, seek medical attention. Notes to Physician: Treat supportively and symptomatically.
General Information: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear. Irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by fire conditions. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Containers may explode when heated. Cool fire-exposed containers with water spray. Extinguishing Media: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam to extinguish fire. Flash Point: 193° C Autoignition Temperature: 400° C Explosion Limits: Lower: 1.1 Upper: Not known
General Information: Use appropriate personal protective equipment as listed in Section 8. Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with sand, vermiculite, or other inert material and place in suitable container for disposal. Avoid water contamination. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation.
Handling: Wash thoroughly after use. Wash hands before eating. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid ingestion or inhalation. Wash clothing before reuse. Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Engineering Controls: Use adequate ventilation to keep concentrations below exposure limits. Eye wash and safety shower must be available. Exposure Limits: Chemical Name ACGIH NIOSH OSHA - Final PELs Glycerine 10 mg/m3 TWA n/a 15 mg/m3 TWA (total dust) 5 mg/m3 TWA (respirable dust) OSHA Vacated PELs: Glycerine: 10 mg/m3 TWA (total dust); 5 mg/m3 TWA (respirable dust) Personal Protective Equipment Eyes: Wear chemical safety goggles as described in OSHA's 20CFR1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin: Avoid skin contact by wearing appropriate protective gloves Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize skin contact. Respirators: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 respirator where exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms develop.
