3. Fire and Explosion
Flash Point Autoignition Temperature Flammable Limits
AP 2280 F (PMCC) AP 7000 F (at Normal Atmospheric Temp and Pressure)
Lower: AP 2.4 (% vol in air)
Upper: AP 17.4 (% vol in air)
Fire and Explosion Heat from fire can generate flammable vapor. When mixed with air and exposed to ignition source, vapors
Hazards can burn in open or explode if confined. Vapors may travel long distances along the ground before igniting and flashing back to vapor source. Fine sprays/mists may be combustible at temperatures below normal flash point. Aqueous solutions containing less than 95% propylene glycol by weight have no flash point as obtained by standard test methods. However aqueous solutions of propylene glycol greater than 22% by weight, if heated sufficiently, will produce flammable vapors. Always drain and flush systems containing propylene glycol with water before welding or other maintenance.
Extinguishing Media Alcohol type foam
CO2
Dry chemical
Extinguishing Media Use waterspray/waterfog for cooling
Use Comment
Special Firefighting Do not enter fire area without proper protection. Fight fire from a safe distance/protected location. Heat
Procedures may build enough pressure to rupture closed containers/spreading fire/increasing risk of burns/injuries. Use water spray/fog for cooling. Avoid frothing/steam explosion. Burning liquid may float on water. Although water-soluble, may not be practical to extinguish fire by water dilution. Notify authorities immediately if liquid enters sewer/public waters.

5. Protective Equipment and Other Control Measures
Respiratory No special respiratory protection is recommended under anticipated conditions of normal use with adequate ventilation.
Eye Eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield must be worn when possibility exists for
eye contact due to splashing or spraying liquid, airborne particles, or vapor. Contact lenses must be worn.
Skin Not normally considered a skin hazard. Where use can result in skin contact, practice good personal hygiene. Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking, and when leaving work.
Engineering Controls No special ventilation is recommended under anticipated conditions of normal use beyond that needed for normal comfort control.
Other Hygienic Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet
Practices facilities. Promptly remove soiled clothing/wash thoroughly before reuse. Shower after work using plenty
of soap and water.
Other Work Practices No special work practices are needed beyond the above recommendations under anticipated conditions of
normal use.

7. Emergency and First Aid
Inhalation Not expected to present a significant inhalation hazard under anticipated conditions of normal use.
Eye Contact In case of eye contact, immediately rinse with clean water for 20-30 minutes. Retract eyelids often. Obtain emergency medical attention if pain, blinking, tears or redness persists.
Skin Contact Not expected to present a significant skin hazard under anticipated conditions of normal use.
Ingestion Not expected to present a significant ingestion hazard under anticipated conditions of normal use.
Physician’s Treat symptomatically. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the
Emergency Medical clinical condition of the patient. After adequate first aid, no further treatment is required unless symptoms

8. Spill and Disposal
Precautions if Material is Spilled or Released
May contaminate water supplies/pollute public waters. Evacuate/limit access. Equip responders with proper protection. Prevent flow to sewer/public waters. Stop release. Notify fire and environmental authorities. Restrict water use for cleanup. Slippery walking. Spread granular cover. Impound/recover large land spill. Soak up small spills with inert solids. Use suitable disposal containers. On water, material is soluble and may float or sink. May biodegrade. Contain/collect rapidly to minimize dispersion. Disperse residue to reduce aquatic harm. Report per regulatory requirements.
Waste Disposal Methods
Landfill solids at permitted sites. Use registered transporters. Burn concentrated liquids, diluting with clean, low viscosity fuel. Avoid flameouts. Assure emissions comply with applicable regulations. Dilute aqueous waste may biodegrade. Avoid overloading/ poisoning plant biomass. Assure effluent complies with applicable regulations. Contaminated product, soil, water, container residues and spill cleanup materials should not be designated as hazardous wastes.

11. Additional Toxicological Information
Component Name/Comments
Propylene Glycol
High concentrations of Propylene Glycol in water when held in contact with human skin under closed conditions have been reported to cause skin irritation (Cosmetics and Toiletries 99:83-91, 1984). The authors attribute the observations to a sweat retention reaction by skin. No reactions were observed in open patch tests with human subjects. One literature report indicates rare eczematous skin reactions and even more rarely an allergic skin reaction from exposure to Propylene Glycol (Anderson and Starr, Hautzart 33 (1) 1982).
