2.3 Other hazards

Ethylene glycol poisoning can be fatal after ingestion. Ingestion of large quantities can cause kidney damage. The product may be irritating to the respiratory system and eyes. The Ethylene glycol constituent has the Skin Annotation assigned to it. This means absorption through the skin may be a significant source of exposure. As for all chemical products, persons should not expose open wounds, cuts, abrasions or irritated skin to this material. The product contains Kyanite as a Refractory Ceramic Fibre according to the product manufacturer. This is categorised as May cause cancer by inhalation. As the product is a liquid, inhalation should not be a route of exposure. However, in use in car cooling systems, if aerosols, sprays, mists or vapours are generated then the presence of Kyanite as a Refractory Ceramic Fibre must be taken into consideration. There may be residual Kyanite in the engine cooling system upon its removal, though it is expected to be fixed in position and not present as free fibres.
