COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Component Weight % CAS # Polyethylene Glycol 300 EINECS# / ELINCS# Formula Molecular Weight (C 2 H 4 O)nH 2 O 4. FIRST-AID MEASURES Inhalation Ingestion Rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention if necessary. Move casualty to fresh air and keep at rest. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention if necessary. Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and wash using soap. Get medical attention if necessary. Do Not Induce Vomiting! Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If conscious, wash out mouth with water. Get medical attention if necessary. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Specific hazards arising from the chemical Product may be flammable under high temperatures. Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Use appropriate media for adjacent fire. Cool unopened containers with water. Wear self-contained, approved breathing apparatus and full protective clothing, including eye protection and boots. Emits toxic fumes (carbon oxides) under fire conditions. (See also Stability and Reactivity section). 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Environmental precautions Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up See section 8 for recommendations on the use of personal protective equipment. Prevent spillage from entering drains. Any release to the environment may be subject to federal/national or local reporting requirements. Neutralize spill. Absorb spill with noncombustible absorbent material, then place in a suitable container for disposal. Clean surfaces thoroughly with water to remove residual contamination. Dispose of all waste and cleanup materials in accordance with regulations. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling See section 8 for recommendations on the use of personal protective equipment. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after using. Keep container closed when not in use. Avoid formation of aerosols. Revised on 02/15/2016 Page 2 of 5
