FIRST AID MEASURES FIRST AID PROCEDURES Prompt removal of the material and obtaining medical attention are essential for all contact. Remove all contaminated clothing and immediately wash the exposed areas with copious amounts of water. Continue the flushing during transportation to the emergency department. Corrosive effects may be delayed (up to 72 hours), and damage may occur without the sensation or onset of pain. Contact local poison control centre for further guidance. General Guidelines: Move victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration ONLY if breathing has stopped. Give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if there is no breathing AND no pulse. Oxygen administration may be beneficial in this situation but should only be administered by personnel trained in its use. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY. Inhalation: At normal temperatures : Prompt removal of the material from the skin is essential. Remove all contaminated clothing and immediately wash the exposed areas with copious amounts of water for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 60 minutes for critical body areas. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY. At elevated temperatures : See "Note to Physicians" below. Skin Contact: Immediately flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 30 minutes, preferably up to 60 minutes. Hold eyelids open during flushing. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Do not transport victim until the recommended flushing period is completed unless flushing can be continued during transport. Eye Contact: Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. IMMEDIATELY contact local Poison Control Centre. If victim is alert and not convulsing, rinse mouth out and give 1 to 2 glasses of milk. Water may be used if milk is not available but it is not as effective. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with head down to avoid breathing in of vomitus, rinse mouth and administer more milk or water. IMMEDIATELY transport victim to an emergency facility. Ingestion: At normal temperatures : Corrosive! Burns (chemical) can occur if not promptly removed. Prolonged, confined (especially under the finger nails, under rings or watch bands) or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation and possibly lead to (chemical) burns. Prolonged and repeated contact may lead to dermatitis. May cause skin sensitization or other allergic responses See Section 11, "Other Studies Relevant to Material". At elevated temperatures : Corrosive! Burns (thermal) can occur if not promptly removed. Skin Contact: Skin absorption is a secondary concern to the continual destruction of tissue while the product is in contact with the skin. Skin Absorption: At normal temperatures : Corrosive! This product causes immediate pain, severe burns and permanent corneal damage which may result in blindness. At elevated temperatures : Corrosive! Burns (thermal) can occur if not promptly removed. Eye Contact: Corrosive! Ingestion is not a likely route of exposure. This product causes severe burning and pain in the mouth, throat and abdomen. Vomiting, diarrhea and perforation of the esophagus and stomach lining may occur. Ingestion: Corrosive effects on the skin and eyes may be delayed, and damage may occur without the sensation or onset of pain. Strict adherence to first aid measures following any exposure is essential. May cause pulmonary oedema, chemical pneumonitis, liver damage, kidney damage and central nervous system (CNS) depression. Pulmonary oedema is the build-up of fluid in the lungs that might be fatal. Symptoms of pulmonary oedema, such as shortness of breath, may not appear until several hours after exposure and are aggravated by physical exertion. (4) CNS depression is characterized by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting and incoordination. Severe overexposures may lead to coma and possible death due to respiratory failure. Liver damage is characterized by the loss of appetite, jaundice (yellowish skin colour), and occasional pain in the upper left-hand side of the abdomen. Signs and symptoms of kidney damage generally progress from oliguria, to blood in the urine, to total renal failure. Triethylene Glycol : Metabolic abnormalities can occur following ingestion and include ethanol-like inebriation. (3) Other Health Effects: Triethylene Glycol Inhibited to 5 % CFT1755CW Brenntag Canada Inc. Date of Revision: 2007 September 07 WHMIS Number : 00063338 Page 3 of 8 Immediate consultation with the local Poison Control Centre should be initiated. Severe and sometimes delayed (up to 72 hours) local and systemic reactions can occur. Due to the severely irritating or corrosive nature of the material, swallowing may lead to ulceration and inflammation of the upper alimentary tract with hemorrhage and fluid loss. Also, perforation of the esophagus or stomach may occur, leading to mediastinitis or peritonitis and the resultant complications. (3) This product contains materials that may cause severe pneumonitis if aspirated. If ingestion has occurred less than 2 hours earlier, carry out careful gastric lavage; use endotracheal cuff if available, to prevent aspiration. Observe patient for respiratory difficulty from aspiration pneumonitis. Give artificial resuscitation and appropriate chemotherapy if respiration is depressed. Treatment for corrosive chemical contact with skin: 1. Immerse the exposed part immediately in ice water to relieve pain and to prevent swelling and blistering. Place cold packs, ice or wet cloths on the burned area if immersion is not possible. 2. Remove anything that is constrictive, such as rings, bracelets or footwear, before swelling begins. 3. Cover the exposed part with a clean, preferably sterile, lint-free dressing. 4. For severe exposure, immediately seek medical attention and monitor breathing and treat for shock. Treatment for thermal, surface burns: 1. Immerse the burned part immediately in ice water to relieve pain and to prevent swelling and blistering. Place cold packs, ice or wet cloths on the burned area if immersion is not possible. 2. Remove anything that is constrictive, such as rings, bracelets or footwear, beforeswelling begins. 3. Cover the burn with a clean, preferably sterile, lint-free dressing. 4. For severe burns, immediately seek medical attention and monitor breathing andtreat for shock. Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure to this product include neurological and cardiovascular disorders, diseases of the skin, eyes or respiratory tract, preexisting liver and kidney disorders. Note to Physicians: 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Flashpoint (°C) AutoIgnition Temperature (°C) LEL UEL Flammability Limits in Air (%): > 177 (Estimated) 371 (Estimated) 0.9 (Estimated) 9.2 (Estimated) Not regulated. Flammability Class (WHMIS): Thermal decomposition products are toxic and may include oxides of carbon, nitrogen and irritating gases. Heating in air may produce irritating aldehydes, acids and ketones. Hazardous Combustion Products: Not normally a fire hazard. Water content of product prevents ignition. Closed containers exposed to heat may explode. Do not direct a solid stream of foam into hot, burning pools. This may cause spattering and increase fire intensity. Spilled material may cause floors and contact surfaces to become slippery. Spills on hot fibrous insulation may lead to the lowering of the autoignition temperature possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion. Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Not expected to be sensitive to mechanical impact. Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not available. Rate of Burning: Not available. Explosive Power: Expected to be sensitive to static discharge when vapours are present between the lower and upper explosive limits. Sensitivity to Static Discharge: EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Foam. Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical media for small fires. If only water is available, use it in the form of a fog. Do not use high volume water jet. Fire Extinguishing Media: Triethylene Glycol Inhibited to 5 % CFT1755CW Brenntag Canada Inc. Date of Revision: 2007 September 07 WHMIS Number : 00063338 Page 4 of 8 FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS Do not use solid water streams near ruptured tanks or spills.

Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after the fire is out. Instructions to the Fire Fighters: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Protective clothing for skin and eye protection should be worn to protect against corrosive materials. Fire Fighting Protective Equipment: 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Information in this section is for responding to spills, leaks or releases in order to prevent or minimize the adverse effects on persons, property and the environment. There may be specific reporting requirements associated with spills, leaks or releases, which change from region to region. See Section 13, "Deactivating Chemicals". In all cases of leak or spill contact vendor at Emergency Number shown on the front page of this MSDS. Utilize a spill kit, if available. Wear protective clothing. Recover spilled material on non-combustible absorbents, such as sand or vermiculite, and place in covered containers for disposal. Use spark-resistant tools. Collect product for recovery or disposal. For release to land, or storm water runoff, contain discharge by constructing dykes or applying inert absorbent; for release to water, utilize damming and/or water diversion to minimize the spread of contamination. Ventilate enclosed spaces. Notify applicable government authority if release is reportable or could adversely affect the environment. Containment and Clean-Up Procedures: 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING Use normal "good" industrial hygiene and housekeeping practices. Containers exposed to heat may be under internal pressure. These should be cooled and carefully vented before opening. A face shield and apron should be worn. When diluting, add this material/product to water in small amounts to avoid spattering. Never add water to this material/product. The water should be lukewarm. Never start with hot or cold water. Handling Practices: See Section 8, "Engineering Controls". Ventilation Requirements: Use only with adequate ventilation and avoid breathing vapours and aerosols. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly before re-use. Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapours or mists from process equipment operating at elevated temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions without the presence of obvious ignition sources. Published "autoignition" or "ignition" temperature values cannot be treated as safe operating temperatures in chemical processes without analysis of the actual process conditions. Corrosive residue is most likely to be deposited at process vents or storage tanks, especially during filling operations. The use of compressed air to force corrosive materials from delivery trucks is of special concern. Scrubbing the exhaust of these vents is highly recommended. Jurisdictional regulations should be consulted to determine required practices. Other Precautions: STORAGE See below. Storage Temperature (°C): Ventilation should be corrosion proof. Ventilation Requirements: Store in a clean, cool well ventilated area, away from organic chemicals, strong bases, strong acids, metal powders, carbides, sulfides, and any readily oxidizable material.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION TOXICOLOGICAL DATA: SUBSTANCE LD50 (Oral, Rat) LD50 (Dermal, Rabbit) LC50 (Inhalation, Rat, 4h) Triethylene Glycol 2 206 - 17 000 mg/kg (1,3) > 20 000 mg/kg (1) --- Morpholine Derivatives --- --- >5 000 ppm (3) The ingredient(s) of this product is (are) not classed as carcinogenic by ACGIH, IARC, OSHA or NTP. Carcinogenicity Data: Not available. No adverse reproductive effects are anticipated. Reproductive Data: Not available. No adverse mutagenic effects are anticipated. Mutagenicity Data: Not available. No adverse teratogenic effects are anticipated. Teratogenicity Data: Morpholine Derivatives may cause skin sensitization or other allergic responses. Sensitization is the process whereby a biological change occurs in the individual because of previous exposure to a substance and, as a result, the individual reacts more strongly when subsequently exposed to the substance. Once sensitized, an individual can react to extremely low airborne levels, even below the TLV, or to skin contact. Cross sensitization may occur by skin contact with this material and other amines. Respiratory / Skin Sensitization Data: Morpholine Derivatives : This product contains an amine, which may react with nitrites to form a nitrosamine. Some nitrosamines have been shown to be carcinogenic in laboratory animals. Synergistic Materials: Triethylene Glycol was given to rats by inclusion in the diet for 90 days at concentrations of 10,000, 20,000, or 50,000 ppm. At the highest dose, there were decreases in body weight. Physiologic responses to these high doses were observed in kidney weight and urinalysis. No specific organ toxicity was seen. (3) In a 9-day (whole body) repeated exposure (6 h/day) study with rats, mortality occurred at 4,284 mg/M3 and effects included eye irritation and increased alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase activities; at 494 mg/M3, there was slightly increased alkaline phosphatase activity. (3) In a sensory irritation study in mice, exposure to high concentrations of Triethylene Glycol aerosol resulted in decreased respiratory rate. The RD50, or concentration that produced a 50% decrease in respiratory rate, was 5.1 mg/L. (3) Other Studies Relevant to Material: 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Not available.
