4. FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID PROCEDURES
If respiratory problems arise, move the victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration ONLY if breathing
has stopped. Give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if there is no breathing AND no pulse. Obtain
medical advice IMMEDIATELY.
Inhalation:
Start flushing while removing contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and
water. If irritation, redness, or a burning sensation develops and persists, repeat flushing and obtain
medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush eyes thoroughly for 5 minutes with running water. Hold eyelids open during flushing.
If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical attention.
Eye Contact:
Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If victim is alert and not
convulsing, rinse mouth out and give 1/2 to 1 glass of water to dilute material. DO NOT induce
vomiting. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with head down to avoid breathing
in of vomitus, rinse mouth and administer more water. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
Ingestion:
This product contains materials that may cause severe pneumonitis if aspirated. If ingestion has
occurred less than 2 hours earlier, carry out careful gastric lavage; use endotracheal cuff if available, to
prevent aspiration. Observe patient for respiratory difficulty from aspiration pneumonitis. Give artificial
resuscitation and appropriate chemotherapy if respiration is depressed.
Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure to this product include neurological and
cardiovascular disorders, diseases of the skin, eyes or respiratory tract, preexisting liver and kidney
disorders.
Note to Physicians:
This product may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort. Ingestion of large amounts may cause
nausea, gastrointestinal upset and abdominal pain.
Ingestion:
Effects (irritancy) on the skin and eyes may be delayed, and damage may occur without the sensation
or onset of pain. Strict adherence to first aid measures following any exposure is essential.
May cause central nervous system (CNS) depression, liver damage, kidney damage and hypoglycemia.
CNS depression is characterized by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting and
incoordination. Severe overexposures may lead to coma and possible death due to respiratory failure.
Liver damage is characterized by the loss of appetite, jaundice (yellowish skin colour), and occasional
pain in the upper left-hand side of the abdomen. Signs and symptoms of kidney damage generally
progress from oliguria, to blood in the urine, to total renal failure. Hypoglycemia is defined as an
abnormally low concentration of glucose in the circulating blood. ()
Propylene Glycol : Ingestion of propylene glycol by persons with renal impairment may cause lactic
acidosis, hyperosmolality, central nervous system depression (CNS) and haemolysis.
Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate : All phosphate salts, except calcium salts, have a hypothetical risk
of hypocalcemia. (8) Potassium salts have a potential risk of hyperkalemia which can cause cardiac
arrhythmia. Since phosphates are slowly and incompletely absorbed [in the gut], systemic reactions are
unlikely when these salts are swallowed. Polyphosphates are thought to be hydrolyzed to
orthophosphates before absorption, which may induce a metabolic acidosis. If appreciable amounts of
the intact polymer are absorbed from the alimentary tract, hypocalcemic tetany (muscular contraction,
pains, tingling, etc., caused by a deficiency of calcium salts) may be a danger due to the binding of
ionized calcium. (3)

Teratogenicity Data:
None known.
Respiratory / Skin Sensitization
Data:
Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate : If this product is used in combination with Trimethylolpropane,
Trimethylolpropane derived products or their corresponding Trimethylol alkane homologs, there is a
possibility that bicyclic phosphates and/or phosphites may be produced as a result of thermal
decomposition. Bicyclic phosphates have acute neurotoxic properties and may cause convulsive
seizures in laboratory test animals. Therefore, this product should not be used in conjunction with
Trimethylolpropane or its derived products unless tested to determine their decomposition toxicity. (3)
Synergistic Materials:
Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate : Kidney damage was observed in dogs following administration of
800 mg/Kg dipotassium phosphate in the diet for 14 or 38 weeks. No adverse effects were observed
after rats were fed 5.1 % in the diet for 150 days. (4)
Propylene Glycol, when tested by open and occluded patch tests, was found to be non-irritating to the
skin of humans and animals. Slight irritation was noted when Propylene Glycol was administered to the
eye. The irritation was non injurious and lasted until tears washed the Propylene Glycol away. (4)
Propylene Glycol has altered the intraocular osmotic blood pressure in both humans and rabbits
when administered orally. Central nervous system depression, liver changes, kidney changes and
some cardiovascular depression were observed following intravenous or oral administration of
Propylene Glycol to rats, mice and calves. (4)
Animal studies for reproductive effects have shown damage to spermatocytes in mice. Reduced
litter size, weights and appetite were also observed in rats administered Propylene Glycol (greater than
7.5 %) in their diets. (4)
Propylene Glycol was not mutagenic in bacteria. Chromosomal damage in mammalian cell lines and
rat spermatocytes were also observed following administration of Propylene Glycol. (4)
Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate : Based on the available findings to date, no direct link has been established
between exposure to Alkylphenol Ethoxylates (APEs) or their biodegradation intermediates in the
environment and any harmful effect on humans due to endocrine (hormone) disruption. (9)
A study by the U.S. government's National Institute of Environment Health Sciences showed no effect
on reproduction in laboratory animals exposed to nonylphenol (NP). The study concluded that "NP was
not a selective reproductive/developmental toxicant." In this study of three generations of rats, there
was some estrogenic activity at the two higher doses (approximately 50 or 150 mg/Kg body weight per
day) and no activity at the lower doses (approximately 15 mg/Kg body weight per day). The lower dose
was several orders of magnitude higher than the estimated, maximum daily human intake. There was
no adverse effect on fertility even at the highest dose. (9)
Commercial APEs, such as Nonylphenol Ethoxylate-4 (NPE4), NPE9 and Octylphenol Ethoxylate-5
(OPE5), have not demonstrated estrogenic activity when tested in the uterotrophic assay of the classic
live animal study. (9)
Other Studies Relevant to
Material:
High temperatures, sparks, open flames and all other sources of ignition.
Conditions to Avoid:
Strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Lewis or mineral acids. Strong bases. Materials reactive with
hydroxyl bearing compounds. Isocyanates. aluminum and its alloys steel
