Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Spill

Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. Keep personnel removed and upwind of spill.
Shut off all ignition sources; no flares, smoking, or flames in hazard area. Approach release

Additional Information
on Exposure Limits

The OSHA permissible exposure levels shown above are the OSHA 1989 levels or from
subsequent OSHA regulatory actions. Although the 1989 levels have been vacated the 11th
Circuit Court of Appeals, Baker Petrolite Corporation recommends that these lower exposure
levels be observed as reasonable worker protection.

Engineering Controls

Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of
vapors or particles below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and
safety showers are proximal to the work-station location.

Personal Protection
Personal Protective Equipment recommendations are based on anticipated known manufacturing and use conditions.
These conditions are expected to result in only incidental exposure. A thorough review of the job tasks and conditions by a
safety professional is recommended, however, to determine the level of personal protective equipment appropriate for these
job tasks and conditions.
Eyes Chemical safety goggles.
Body Wear long sleeves to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact.
Respiratory Respirator use is not expected to be necessary under normal conditions of use. In poorly
ventilated areas, emergency situations or if exposure levels are exceeded, use NIOSH approved
full face respirator.
Hands Chemical resistant gloves. Nitrile or Neoprene gloves. 4H gloves.
Feet Chemical resistant boots or overshoes.

Chronic Toxicity Data

1) Ethylene Glycol
Ethylene glycol (EG) is a component of this product. Chronic ingestion has shown to cause adverse kidney, liver, bladder,
and blood effects in laboratory animals (NTP Technical Report, 1993; Fund. Appl. Toxicol. 7:547-65; FD Cosmet Toxicol.
Vol. 3:229-34; Drug and Chem Toxicol 13(1):43-70). Also, chronic ingestion has caused adverse effect on the sperm
(decreased motility and increased percentage of abnormal sperm) in laboratory animals. [Morrissey, R.E. et al, 1988, Fund
Appl Toxicol, 11(2), pp 359-71]
Ingestion of ethylene glycol has produced Central Nervous System depression, effects on the cardiopulmonary system, and
neurological impairment. [Gosselin, R.E., Smith, R.P., and Hodge, H.C., 1984, Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products;
NTP Techical Report 413, 1993; CCOHS CHEMINFO, 2003, Record No. 41 for ethylene glycol; Mallya, K.B. et al, 1986, J
Neurol Sce, 13(4) pp 340-41; Anderson, B. , 1990, Am J. Med, 88, pp 87-88]
EG is an animal teratogen at doses which produced mild toxicity to the mother. EG given at doses up to 5,000 mg/kg/day to
pregnant rats or up to 3,000 mg/kg/day to mice induced a wide variety of fetal malformations, including those of the

Page: 6/8

musculoskeletal, bone marrow, and spleen (RTECS, 1996). It was also a teratogen and an embryotoxin at doses producing
no toxicity to the mother in laboratory animals. (Lamb, J.C. et al, 1985, Toxicol Appl Pharmacol, 81, p 100 and Price, C.J. et
al, 1985, Appl Pharmacol, 81, pp113-27)
Ethylene glycol is used to cryopreserve embryos of many mammalian species, including pigs, goats, cows and horses (Otoi
et al, 1995; Fieni et al, 1995; Hochi et al, 1994). This makes it unlikely that ethylene glycol itself is the active teratogen in
whole animal studies. The EG metabolite, glycolic acid, was active in contrast to EG itself for inducing developmental defects
in whole rat embryos in culture (Carney et al, 1996). EG inhibited metabolic cooperation of Chinese hamster cells in vitro, a
finding which may have implications for its mechanism of teratogenicity (Loch-Caruso et al, 1984).
2) Amine derivative
Not available.
3) Quaternary ammonium compound
Not available.
4) Isopropanol
Isopropanol is a component of this product. Ingestion has produced hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) in humans
(Lacouture, P, et al, 1983, "American Journal of Medicine" and Chan K-M, et al, 1993, "Clinical Chemistry"). Also, ingestion
can produce Central Nervous System effects and gastointestinal symptoms. [IPCS (1990) Environmental Health Criteria 103:
2-propanol. International Program on Chemical Safety, WHO Geneva.]
In a four month study, inhalation of isopropanol vapors for 20 hours per week by laboratory animals produced bronchitis,
pneumonia, and blood effects (International Program of Chemical Safety, 1990, Environmental Health Criteria 103:
2-propanol, World Health Organization). Ataxia (a jerky or shaky movement that occurs during voluntary muscle movement)
and microscopic hyaline droplets (fungal or branched structures) in the kidneys were seen in rats exposed to isopropanol at
concentrations up to 5000 ppm for 6 hours per day, 5 days per week, for 13 weeks (Burleighflayer et al, 1994). Inhalation of
high levels of isopropanol (4,000 and 8,000 ppm for 8 hours) has produced congestion in the liver, lungs, and spleen of
laboratory animals (Laham S, et al, 1980, "Drug and Chemical Toxicology).
Oral and inhalation animal studies isopropanol has been shown to cause fetotoxic and reproductive effects at levels which
did not show any maternal toxicity. These effects include reductions in fetal litter weight, reductions in live births and
significant skeletal malformations in rats. [Nelson, BK et al (1988), Food and Chemical Toxicology, 26(3), pps 247-254], [Tyl,
R.W. et al (1994), Fundamental and Applied Toxicoology, 22, pps 139-151], [Bevan, C., et al (1995), Journal of Applied
Toxicology, 15(2), pps 117-123. Chronic inhalation has produced testicular effects in laboratory animals. (Kapp, Jr., R.W., et
al, 1996, Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology 23:183-192, and Burleigh-Flayer, H., et al, 1997, Fundamental and
Applied Toxicology: 36:95-111)
