About this file

This is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for Propylene Glycol, Uninhibited/Undyed, a non-toxic industrial heat transfer fluid manufactured by Nemco Resources Ltd located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

The product is classified as non-hazardous under WHMIS criteria and does not meet classification criteria for physical, health, or environmental hazards. The liquid is clear and odorless with a flash point of 98.0°C (208.4°F), melting point of -60°C (-76°F), and initial boiling point of 184°C (363.2°F). It has a relative density of 1.03 g/cm³ and viscosity of 52 cSt, with complete solubility in water. The product is stable under normal conditions, non-explosive, and non-oxidizing with an auto-ignition temperature exceeding 400°C. Suitable extinguishing media include alcohol-resistant foam, powder, and carbon dioxide; water jets should not be used. For accidental spills, the product can be absorbed with vermiculite, dry sand, or earth. Exposure controls include standard ventilation practices and use of safety glasses, impervious gloves, and protective clothing as required. The product is not regulated as dangerous goods under Canada's Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) regulations and is listed on Canada's Domestic Substances List.

4. First-aid measures

If symptoms develop move victim to fresh air. If symptoms persist, obtain medical attention.Inhalation

Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.Skin contact

Flush with cool water. Remove contact lenses, if applicable, and continue flushing. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists.

If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible). Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Keep out of reach of children.

General information

5. Fire-fighting measures

Alcohol resistant foam. Powder. Carbon dioxide.Suitable extinguishing media

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.Unsuitable extinguishing media

During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.Specific hazards arising from the chemical

May include and are not limited to: Oxides of carbon.Hazardous combustion products

Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters

Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.Fire fighting equipment/instructions

Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.Specific methods

No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.General fire hazards

6. Accidental release measures

Keep unnecessary personnel away. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Use water spray to reduce vapours or divert vapour cloud drift. This product is miscible in water.

Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following product recovery, flush area with water.

Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Do not discharge into lakes, streams, ponds or public waters.

Environmental precautions

7. Handling and storage

Wash thoroughly after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. When using do not eat or drink.

Precautions for safe handling

Store in tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). Keep out of reach of children.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

8. Exposure controls/Personal protection

No exposure limits noted for ingredient(s).Occupational exposure limits

No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).Biological limit values

Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

Appropriate engineering controls

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).Eye/face protection

Skin protection

Impervious gloves. Confirm with reputable supplier first.Hand protection

Wear suitable protective clothing. As required by employer code.Other

Where exposure guideline levels may be exceeded, use an approved NIOSH respirator.

Respirator should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and safety professional following requirements found in OSHA's respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134), CAN/CSA-Z94.4 and ANSI's standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2).

Respiratory protection

Not applicable.Thermal hazards

Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. When using do not eat or drink.
