Impurities: Trace levels of propylene glycol ethers, trace moisture, acetic acid residues possible in industrial grades
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air, provide oxygen if breathing is difficult, seek medical attention for persistent symptoms such as cough, dizziness, or shortness of breath
Skin Contact: Wash exposed areas of skin thoroughly with soap and water, remove and wash contaminated clothing, seek medical attention for persistent irritation or dermatitis
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes holding eyelids apart, remove contact lenses if present, consult ophthalmologist if pain or irritation persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting unless advised by medical professionals, seek medical attention promptly
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide for small fires; use water spray or fog for larger fires, avoid strong water jets
Specific Hazards: Vapors may travel to ignition sources and flash back, combustion produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and potentially irritating aldehydes
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit, avoid exposure to hazardous decomposition products
Firefighting Precautions: Cool exposed containers with water, remove containers from fire area if safe, build containment for firefighting water to keep from entering drains
Personal Precautions: Evacuate non-essential personnel, ensure adequate ventilation, wear personal protective equipment including gloves, goggles, and suitable respiratory protection
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, drains or sewers, dike spill using inert absorbent (sand, vermiculite)
Spill Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert material, collect in suitable labeled container for disposal, wash contaminated surfaces with water and detergent; ventilate affected area
Handling: Use in well-ventilated areas, keep containers closed when not in use, ground/bond containers to prevent static discharge, avoid inhaling vapors and contact with skin or eyes
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, far from heat, sparks, or open flames; keep separate from strong oxidizers and acids
Packaging Materials: Use containers made from materials compatible with glycols, such as high-density polyethylene or stainless steel
Storage Life: Under good storage, shelf life exceeds one year without significant change in properties
Exposure Limits: Dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (ACGIH TLV): 50 ppm TWA (as glycol ethers, check for local regulatory guidance)
Engineering Controls: Provide exhaust ventilation at emission sources, use closed systems where feasible, install gas detectors in confined spaces
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), safety goggles or face shield, long-sleeved clothing; use air-purifying respirator if exposure risks high
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, remove contaminated clothing before eating or drinking, regular laundering of work clothes

Solubility: Miscible with most organic solvents, moderately soluble in water
Partition Coefficient: log Kow = 0.36
Auto-ignition Temperature: 288°C
Decomposition Temperature: Not established
Viscosity: 3.6 mPa·s at 25°C
Chemical Stability: Remains stable at ambient temperatures and pressures under normal conditions, no dangerous polymerization expected
Reactivity: Reacts with strong oxidizing agents, acids can accelerate decomposition
Hazardous Decomposition: Produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acetic acids, and potentially toxic organic compounds on burning or decomposition
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, alkalis, oxidizers and reducing agents
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flames, static discharge, and sources of ignition
Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 (rat): > 5000 mg/kg; Dermal LD50 (rabbit): > 2000 mg/kg; relatively low toxicity in single exposures
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Can produce mild, reversible skin irritation with prolonged contact
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes eye irritation, redness, watering
Respiratory Sensitization: Exposure to high vapor concentrations can produce respiratory tract irritation
Carcinogenicity: No components listed as carcinogenic by IARC, NTP or OSHA
Reproductive Toxicity: No significant reproductive effects observed in animal studies
Other Effects: Nausea, drowsiness, headache, CNS depression possible in over-exposed individuals
Ecotoxicity: Low toxicity to aquatic organisms, LC50 (fish, 96 hr): >500 mg/L; EC50 (daphnia, 48 hr): >500 mg/L
Persistence and Degradability: Biodegrades rapidly under aerobic conditions; expected to break down in wastewater treatment
Bioaccumulative Potential: Log Kow indicates low potential for bioaccumulation
Mobility in Soil: High mobility due to water solubility, may reach and contaminate groundwater if large release occurs
Other Adverse Effects: No indication of significant endocrine disrupting effects or long-term persistence in the environment
Waste Treatment Methods: Collect and contain in suitable, labeled containers; incinerate in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations; do not landfill oxo-solvent wastes to avoid groundwater contamination
Disposal Precautions: Prevent material from entering public sewers, waterways, or natural habitats
Container Disposal: Rinse empty containers, offer for recycling or reconditioning if possible; puncture and dispose in compliance with LEED and RCRA standards
Recommended Practices: Use chemical recycling or high-temperature incineration options that comply with local sustainability initiatives
