1 SAFETY DATA SHEET: POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL 4001. IDENTIFICATIONPRODUCT NAME: POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL 400 CAS # 25322-68-3 SYNONYM:PEG-8; PEG 400; Poly(oxy-1,2- ethanediyl). FORMULA:H(OCH2CH2)nOH2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATIONE mergency OverviewColor: ColorlessPhysical State: LiquidOdor: MildHazards of product:No significant immediate hazards for emergency response are HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARDThis product is not a "Hazardous Chemical" as defined by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR Health EffectsEye Contact: May cause slight temporary eye irritation.
2 Corneal injury is Contact: Prolonged contact is essentially non Irritating to Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Prolonged/repeated exposure todamaged skin (as in burn patients) may result in absorption of toxic : At room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to low volatility; single exposure is not likely to be : Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small of Repeated Exposure: Recent findings of kidney failure and death in burn patients, as well as some studies using animalburn models, suggest that POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL may have been a factor.

4 FIRST AID MEASURESEye Contact:Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 water may be used. Get medical attention if irritation Contact:Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Cold water may Skin Contact: Not :If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get Inhalation: Not :Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
5 Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Iflarge quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt Ingestion: Not FIRE FIGHTING MEASURESE xtinguishing Media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam. Do not usedirect water stream. May spread fire. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (includingAFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less Fighting Procedures: Keep people away.
6 Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Use water spray to cool fire exposedcontainers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed. Fight fire from protected location or safedistance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in caseof rising sound from venting SAFETY device or discoloration of the container. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Movecontainer from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personneland minimize property Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective firefighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves).
7 If protective equipment is not available or notused, fight fire from a protected location or safe Fire and Explosion Hazards: Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation. Violent steam generation oreruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot Combustion Products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to combustion products ofvarying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion products may include and are not limited to: Carbonmonoxide. Carbon ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURESS mall Spill:Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container.
8 Finishcleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority Spill:Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. Finish cleaning by spreading water on thecontaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentrationlevel above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local : 2 SDS: POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL4007. HANDLING AND STORAGEG eneral Handling: See Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL Precautions: Spills of these organic materials on hot fibrous insulations may lead to lowering of the autoignition temperaturespossibly resulting in spontaneous in original container.
9 Use product promptly after opening. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat and air. Store in the followingmaterial(s): Stainless steel. Polypropylene. POLYETHYLENE -lined container. Teflon. Glass-lined container. Plasite 3066 lined 3070 lined container. 316 stainless life: Use within 36 Months8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROECTIONC omponentListTypeValuePolyethylene GLYCOL 400 WEELTWA Particulate10 mg/m3 Personal ProtectionEye/Face Protection: Use SAFETY Protection: When prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur, use protective clothing chemically resistant to thismaterial.
10 Selection of specific items such as faceshield, boots, apron, or full-body suit will depend on the protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material when prolonged or frequently repeated contact could of preferred glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Examples of acceptableglove barrier materials include: Natural rubber ("latex"). Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Polyvinyl chloride("PVC" or "vinyl"). Viton. NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplaceshould also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled,physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well asthe instructions/specifications provided by the glove Protection.
