2 Dowfrost Page Number: 2 Section 3. Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects Potential Chronic Health Effects Hazardous in case of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion. Non-corrosive for skin. Non-irritant for skin. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Non-corrosive for skin. Non-sensitizer for skin. Non-permeator by skin. CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: The substance is toxic to mucous membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Section 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Serious Skin Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 5 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention. In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Cold water may be used.wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention. 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. Fire and Explosion Data Flammability of the Product Auto-Ignition Temperature Flash Points Flammable Limits Products of Combustion Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances May be combustible at high temperature. The lowest known value is 4 C (77 F) (Propylene glycol). OPEN CUP: 2 C (25.6 F). LOWER: 2.6% UPPER: 2.5% These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2). Some metallic oxides. Flammable in presence of oxidizing materials. Slightly flammable to flammable in presence of open flames and sparks, of heat. Non-flammable in presence of shocks, of reducing materials, of combustible materials, of organic materials, of metals, of acids, of alkalis, of moisture. Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances Risks of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical impact: Risks of explosion of the product in presence of static discharge: Fire Fighting Media and Instructions Fire Hazards Explosion Hazards SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. (Propylene glycol)

3 Dowfrost Page Number: 3 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. If necessary: Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid. 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. Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Section 7. Handling and Storage Precautions Storage Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store above 2 C (249.8 F). Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls Personal Protection Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill Exposure Limits 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. Lab coat. Vapor respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves (impervious). Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product. Section 9. Physical and Chemical Properties Physical state and appearance Liquid.
