If Swallowed Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Give a glass of water to drink and seek medical attention.
In Eyes Flush eyes thoroughly with plenty of water for 15 minutes - also under the eyelids. Remove contact lenses if possible. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
On Skin No irritation expected under normal conditions of use. If irritation occurs, wash with plenty of soap and water. Where large quantities are involved, remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
If Inhaled If inhalation occurs, remove from further exposure. Seek medical advice if effects persist.
Advice to Doctor: Treat symptomatically.
Acute Ingestion of large amounts may cause nausea, diarrhoea or vomiting.
Swallowed Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts.
Eyes May be irritating. Corneal injury is unlikely.
Skin Not expected under normal conditions of use. May be irritating with prolonged contact, especially when handling bulk quantities of liquid.
Inhalation Not expected under normal conditions of use. Excessive exposure may cause irritation to the nose and throat.
Chronic: No data available.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard Liquid component of cloth is non flammable. However, in a large fire, toxic fumes may be generated.
Extinguising Media Use water fog or fine spray, carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical to fight fire. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred.
Protection Equipment for Firefighters
Wear self contained breathing apparatus and protective fire fighting clothing.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Spills & Disposal Liquid may be slippery when spilt. Where large quantities are involved, contain spilt material with sand or earth. Eliminate all ignition sources and keep area well ventilated. No smoking in area. Dispose of waste according to local regulations. Prevent entry of spills into waterways or sewers. Do not flush cloths in toilet.

Precautions for Safe Handling Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged exposure. Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapour or fumes. Wash hands after handling.
Conditions for Safe Storage, including any Incompatibilities
Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place away from flame, ignition or heat sources. Keep containers closed when not in use. Check regularly for spills. Avoid contact with strong oxidising and reducing agents.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Exposure Limits 8 hr TWA = 308 mg/m3 (50 ppm) (for Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether) STEL = 150 ppm (for Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether)
