4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of first aid measures
General advice: First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the
recommended protective clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection). If potential for
exposure exists refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective equipment.

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.

Skin contact: Immediately flush skin with water while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get
medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated leather items
such as shoes, belts, and watchbands. Safety shower should be located in immediate work area.

Eye contact: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the
initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a
physician, preferably an ophthalmologist.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. If person is fully conscious
give 1 cup or 8 ounces (240 ml) of water. If medical advice is delayed and if an adult has swallowed
several ounces of chemical, then give 3-4 ounces (1/3-1/2 Cup) (90-120 ml) of hard liquor such as 80
proof whiskey. For children, give proportionally less liquor at a dose of 0.3 ounce (1 ½ tsp.) (8 ml)
liquor for each 10 pounds of body weight, or 2 ml per kg body weight [e.g., 1.2 ounce (2 1/3 tbsp.) for
a 40 pound child or 36 ml for an 18 kg child].

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Aside from the information found
under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of immediate medical attention and
special treatment needed (below), any additional important symptoms and effects are described in
Section 11: Toxicology Information.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Notes to physician: Due to structural analogy and clinical data, this material may have a mechanism
of intoxication similar to ethylene glycol. On that basis, treatment similar to ethylene glycol intoxication
may be of benefit. In cases where several ounces (60 - 100 ml) have been ingested, consider the use
of ethanol and hemodialysis in the treatment. Consult standard literature for details of treatment. If
ethanol is used, a therapeutically effective blood concentration in the range of 100 - 150 mg/dl may be
achieved by a rapid loading dose followed by a continuous intravenous infusion. Consult standard
literature for details of treatment. 4-Methyl pyrazole (Antizol®) is an effective blocker of alcohol
dehydrogenase and should be used in the treatment of ethylene glycol (EG), di- or triethylene glycol
(DEG, TEG), ethylene glycol butyl ether (EGBE), or methanol intoxication if available. Fomepizole
protocol (Brent, J. et al., New England Journal of Medicine, Feb. 8, 2001, 344:6, p. 424-9): loading
dose 15 mg/kg intravenously, follow by bolus dose of 10 mg/kg every 12 hours; after 48 hours,
increase bolus dose to 15 mg/kg every 12 hours. Continue fomepizole until serum methanol, EG,
DEG, TEG or EGBE are undetectable. The signs and symptoms of poisoning include anion gap
metabolic acidosis, CNS depression, renal tubular injury, and possible late stage cranial nerve
involvement. Respiratory symptoms, including pulmonary edema, may be delayed. Persons receiving
significant exposure should be observed 24-48 hours for signs of respiratory distress. Maintain
adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. In severe poisoning, respiratory support with
mechanical ventilation and positive end expiratory pressure may be required. If lavage is performed,
suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal control. Danger from lung aspiration must be weighed
against toxicity when considering emptying the stomach. If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn,

Page 3 of 12
Product name: UCON™ HYDROLUBE HP-5046D Issue Date: 04/21/2015

after decontamination. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the
clinical condition of the patient.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Toxicological information on this product or its components appear in this section when such data is
available.

Acute toxicity
Acute oral toxicity
Oral toxicity is expected to be moderate in humans due to diethylene glycol even though tests
with animals show a lower degree of toxicity. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a
result of normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger
amounts may cause injury. Excessive exposure may cause central nervous system effects,
cardiopulmonary effects (metabolic acidosis), and kidney failure. May cause nausea and
vomiting. May cause abdominal discomfort or diarrhea.

LD50, Rat, > 16,000 mg/kg

Based on information for component(s): Diethylene glycol.
LD50, Human, adult, 2 Ounces Estimated.

Acute dermal toxicity

Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Repeated skin
contact may result in absorption of harmful amounts. Massive contact with damaged skin or
of material sufficiently hot to burn skin may result in absorption of potentially lethal amounts.

LD50, Rabbit, male and female, > 16,000 mg/kg

Acute inhalation toxicity

With good ventilation, single exposure is not expected to cause adverse effects. If material is
heated or areas are poorly ventilated, vapor/mist may accumulate and cause respiratory
irritation and symptoms such as headache and nausea.
Typical for this family of materials.
