First-aid measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Obtain medical attention.
Skin contact: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Obtain medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
Eye contact: In case of eye contact, remove contact lens and rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.
Ingestion: If conscious, drink plenty of water. Induce vomiting, but only if victim is fully conscious. Obtain medical attention.
Notes to physician
Symptoms: Additional 2-methoxyethanol may be formed by reaction with
moisture. 2-Methoxyethanol causes birth defects in laboratory
animals. Product may hydrolyze upon contact with body fluids
in the gastrointestinal tract to produce additional methanol;
therefore, consider the signs/symptoms of methanol poisoning
and also observe the known latency period of several days.

Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Alcohol-resistant foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry chemical
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Further information: Do not direct a solid stream of water or foam into hot, burning pools: this may cause frothing and increase fire intensity. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.
