HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Clear yellow liquid. Odourless. Avoid temperatures above 450°F, 232°C.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
(See Section 11 for toxicological data.)
EYE:
May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Mists may cause eye irritation.
SKIN CONTACT:
Prolonged contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in
the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. Repeated exposures may cause flaking and softening of skin.
INGESTION:
Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be extremely low. No hazards anticipated from swallowing small
amounts incidental to normal handling operations.
INHALATION:
At room temperature, vapours are minimal due to physical properties. Mists may cause irritation of upper
respiratory tract (nose and throat).
SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS:
Repeated excessive exposure to propylene glycol may cause central
nervous system effects.
CANCER INFORMATION:
Did not cause cancer in laboratory animals.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS):
Birth defects are unlikely. Exposures having no adverse effects on the mother should
have no effect on the fetus.
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS:
In animal studies, has been shown not to interfere with reproduction.
