REGULATORY INFORMATION: (Not meant to be all-inclusive--selected regulations represented). NOTICE: The information herein is presented in good faith and believed to be accurate as of the effective date shown above. However, no warranty, express or implied, is given. Regulatory requirements are subject to change and may differ from one location to another; it is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that its activities comply with federal, state or provincial, and local laws. The following specific information is made for the purpose of complying with numerous federal, state or provincial, and local laws and regulations. See MSD Sheet for health and safety information. U.S. REGULATIONS ================= SARA HAZARD CATEGORY: This product has been reviewed according to the EPA "Hazard Categories" promulgated under Sections 311 and 312 of the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA Title III) and is considered, under applicable definitions, to meet the following categories: Not to have met any hazard category
EYES: Irrigate immediately with water for at least 5 minutes. SKIN: Wash off in flowing water or shower.
INGESTION: Induce vomiting if large amounts are ingested. Consult medical personnel.
INHALATION: No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure incidental to proper industrial handling. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: No specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient.
FLASH POINT: 390F, 199C METHOD USED: PMCC FLAMMABLE LIMITS LFL: Not deter. UFL: Not deter. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water fog, alcohol-resistant foam, C02, dry chemical. FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Autoignition temperature 698F, 370C. FIRE-FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Small spills: Cover with absorbent material, soak up and sweep into a drum. Large spills: Dike around spill and pump into suitable containers.
DISPOSAL METHOD: Reprocess or incinerate in accordance with all local, state, and federal requirements.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINE: OSHA PEL is 10 mg/m3 total, 5 mg/m3 respirable; ACGIH TLV is 10 mg/m3 for glycerine mist. VENTILATION: Control airborne concentrations below the exposure guideline. Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline. When respiratory protection is required for certain operations, use an approved air-purifying respirator. SKIN PROTECTION: No precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed. EYE PROTECTION: Use safety glasses.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Practice reasonable care and caution. MSDS STATUS: Revised section 9 and regsheet.
EYE: May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged or repeated exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. SKIN ABSORPTION: A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. The LD50 for skin absorption in rabbits is > 10,000 mg/kg. INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is low. The oral LD50 for rats is 17,000 to 27,200 mg/kg. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be central nervous system effects and increased blood sugar levels. INHALATION: At room temperature, exposures to vapors are unlikely due to physical properties; higher temperatures may generate vapor levels sufficient to cause irritation and other effects. No effects in rats were seen at 0.57 mg/l for 1 hour; therefore the LC50 is greater than this amount.
SYSTEMIC & OTHER EFFECTS: Repeated excessive exposure may cause kidney and liver effects, and increased fat levels in blood. Observations in animals include gastrointestinal irritation with very large oral doses. Did not cause cancer in long- term animal studies. Birth defects are unlikely. Exposures having no adverse effects on the mother should have no effect on the fetus. Reproduction studies indicate that glycerine does not directly interfere with reproduction in animals. When animals were maintained on synthetic diets or dosed at extremely high levels, reproduction in females was affected - perhaps due to altered nutritional states.
