How will you protect yourself?
First aid
Propylene Glycol
·         Slightly combustible liquid.
·         Hazardous in case of ingestion.
·         Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator), of eye contact (irritant), of
Inhalation.
·         Do not handle near heat, sparks, or open flame.
·         May cause minor eye irritation.
·         High aerosol
Concentrations
·         May cause mild irritation of the nose and throat as well as central nervous system depression.


Research and development
Chemical synthesized
Handle with gloves, lab coat, and safety googles.

Avoid eye, mouth and skin contact.
Eye Contact:
 Remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Seek medical attention.

Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated
Clothing and shoes. Cold water may be. Wash clothing and shoes before reuse. Get medical attention.

Serious Skin Contact:
Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical attention.

Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.

Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Methanol
·         Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation.
·         Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator).
·         Severe over-exposure can result in death
·         Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (sensitizer).
·         Mutagenic for mammalian somatic cells. Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast.
·         The substance is toxic to eyes. The substance may be toxic to blood, kidneys, liver, brain, peripheral nervous system, upper respiratory tract, skin, central nervous system (CNS), optic nerve.
·         Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.
·          Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many human organs.
Research and development
Chemically synthesize
Handle with gloves, lab coat, and safety googles.

Avoid eye, mouth and skin contact.
Eye Contact:
Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Seek medical attention.

Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Wash clothing and shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.

Serious Skin Contact:
Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical
Attention.

Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.

Serious Inhalation:
Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. (WARNING: It may
be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive.) Seek immediate medical attention.

Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing
