HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for toxicological data.)
EYE:  May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation.  Corneal injury is unlikely.  Mists
may cause eye irritation.
SKIN CONTACT:  Prolonged contact is essentially nonirritating to skin.  A single prolonged
exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts.
Repeated exposures may cause flaking and softening of skin.
INGESTION:  Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be extremely low.  No hazards
anticipated from swallowing small amounts incidental to normal handling operations.
INHALATION:  At room temperature, vapours are minimal due to physical properties.  Mists
may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract (nose and throat).
SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS:  Repeated excessive exposure to
propylene glycol may cause central nervous system effects.
CANCER INFORMATION:  Did not cause cancer in laboratory animals.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS):  Birth defects are unlikely.  Exposures having no adverse
effects on the mother should have no effect on the fetus.
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS:  In animal studies, has been shown not to interfere with
reproduction.
