Chemical Name: 2-Amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol
Concentration: >98% by weight
Other Components: Water (<2% moisture content as residual)—no significant impurities expected under standard production
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air straight away, support breathing; call medical help if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash affected area immediately with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Rinse gently yet thoroughly, at least 15 minutes using water, remove lenses if present
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth with water, get medical attention immediately
Most Important Symptoms: Irritation, redness, coughing, headache if inhaled
Immediate Medical Attention Needed: Severe eye exposure, persistent symptoms, or large ingestion
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Direct water stream may spread burning liquid
Specific Hazards: Decomposition produces toxic fumes such as nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical-resistant clothing
Fire Hazards: No major flammability hazard under normal conditions, but combustion in fire releases irritating vapors
Personal Precautions: Wear goggles, gloves, dust mask or respirator
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering drains, surface water or soil
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with an inert material like sand, sweep up, collect in labeled container for disposal according to regulations
Emergency Measures: Alert trained personnel, ventilate area, restrict direct contact
Safe Handling: Avoid inhaling dust or mist, minimize contact with skin and eyes, use only in well-ventilated area, wash thoroughly after handling

Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizers
Storage Temperature: Store between 15–25°C, keep away from heat sources
Container Requirements: Use chemical-resistant containers, tightly sealed
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits, keep airborne concentrations as low as possible
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, eyewash stations, showers near work area
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, long sleeves, lab coat
Respiratory Protection: Dust mask or cartridge respirator if ventilation is inadequate
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks, after handling product, and at shift end

Acute Toxicity: LD50 oral rat >1000 mg/kg, may be harmful if swallowed
Inhalation Toxicity: May cause respiratory irritation though not acutely fatal
Dermal Toxicity: May cause mild skin irritation, prolonged exposure can be more severe for sensitive individuals
Skin/Eye Irritation: Causes moderate to severe irritation, may lead to conjunctivitis if in eye
Chronic Effects: No clear evidence of carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reproductive toxicity activity found in available studies
Sensitization: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause sensitization
Target Organs: Eyes, skin, respiratory tract
Ecotoxicity: Aquatic toxicity data limited, but chemical structure suggests moderate threat to aquatic flora and fauna
Mobility: High water solubility allows spread in aquatic environments
Persistence and Degradability: Likely biodegradable, but data gaps exist
Bioaccumulation: Not expected to accumulate in organisms due to low partition coefficient
