Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct water jet may scatter spilled material
Special Hazards: May generate irritating and toxic fumes if heated excessively; containers may rupture from pressure build-up
Protective Equipment: Firefighters use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Specific Firefighting Methods: Cool containers with water spray away from fire; prevent run-off from entering drains or waterways
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, safety goggles, and chemical-resistant clothing; ventilate the affected area
Spill Cleanup: Contain and absorb liquid with inert material like sand or diatomaceous earth; collect waste material in appropriate container for disposal; thoroughly clean spill area with water
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage; do not allow product to enter drains, surface water, or soil
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unnecessary personnel; notify responsible authorities as appropriate
Handling: Avoid breathing vapors or mist; avoid contact with eyes and skin; use only in areas with adequate ventilation; wash hands and face after handling
Safe Storage Conditions: Store in original, tightly closed containers away from heat, spark, open flames, and incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers and acids; keep containers upright and away from direct sunlight
Storage Temperature: Maintain between 5°C and 30°C for optimal stability
Incompatibles: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, strong bases
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to minimize airborne concentration; maintain eye wash stations and safety showers in the work area
Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits set for this material; ethylene glycol component OEL (USA) = 50 ppm (Ceiling)
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles with side shields, long-sleeved lab coat or coveralls, closed-toe chemical-resistant shoes; NIOSH-approved respirator if airborne mist or vapor is present
Hygiene Measures: No eating or drinking in work area; change clothing after work and wash thoroughly before breaks

Stability: Product remains stable under normal temperatures and storage conditions
Decomposition: Thermal decomposition produces potentially hazardous by-products including sulfur oxides, carbon oxides, and sodium compounds
Reactivity: Reacts with strong oxidizers; may react with strong acids to release corrosive gases
Polymerization: Does not polymerize
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, direct sunlight, sources of ignition, incompatible materials
Likely Routes of Exposure: Eyes, skin, inhalation, and accidental ingestion
Acute Effects: Eye irritation (redness, tearing), skin irritation (dryness, mild redness), respiratory tract irritation from vapor or mist exposure, gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting) on ingestion
Chronic Effects: Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause dermatitis; inhalation of mist over time can affect respiratory system
Carcinogenicity: None of the ingredients are classified as carcinogenic by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
LD50 / LC50: No established limits; based on similar substances, oral LD50 (rat) estimated above 2000 mg/kg
Other Data: Not mutagenic or teratogenic based on available information; no evidence of sensitization reported
