Hazard statements

Eye Irritation: H319 Causes serious eye irritation. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Propylene carbonate when burned may form toxic levels of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, propylene oxide, formaldehyde, other irritating aldehydes, acids and ketones. Other hazardous products may occur under conditions of decomposition or combustion, and/or result from interaction with other materials and/or environment of decomposition or combustion. Slipping hazard if spilled on hard smooth walking surface. Emergency Overview Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Do not swallow. Wear safety glasses and latex gloves. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. During emergencies, wear equipment to protect eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Prevent material and run-off from entering sewer or waterways. Consult the Safety Data Sheet. Conditions aggravated by exposure No human or animal health effects data are known to exist. However, available toxicity information on polymers of molecular weight 1000 or greater suggests they have low toxicity.
