Eye Contact: If eye contact occurs, wash with plenty of clean water or amphoteric eye solution for a minimum of 15 minutes, holding the eyes open, medical advice should be followed.
Inhalation: Remove victim from exposure to fresh air immediately, if not breathing, give artificial respiration; if breathing is difficult, give medical oxygen. Get medical aid immediately.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with plenty of milk or water (only if victim is conscious and alert). Get medical aid immediately.
Skin Contact: If skin contact occurs, wash the affected area with plenty of water and a neutral soap for a minimum of 5 minutes.
PPG 4000 polyol is slightly hygroscopic and may absorb water. Containers should be kept tightly closed and protected from contamination with moisture and foreign materials, which can adversely affect product quality.
This polyol can become quite viscous at low temperatures. For ease of handling, storage temperatures between 20°C (68°F) and 60°C (140°F) are recommended.
PPG 4000 is dispatched in polyethylene or corrugated steel, galvanized or carbon steel drums.
Shelf life: PPG 4000 is stable for 2 years when stored in the original sealed containers in a cool and dry place.
Appropriate literature has been assembled which provides information concerning the health and safety precautions that must be observed when handling PPG 4000 polyol. Before working with these products, you must read and become familiar with the available information on their hazards, proper use, and handling.
PPG 4000 is suitable as an antifoam agent in latex formulations, paper and pulp processing, emulsion paints, sugar beet processing, fermentation vats in the manufacture of various products. Other applications include its use as a cosmetic ingredient, a mound release agent, an intermediate for e.g., resin and as plasticizer. PPG 4000 can also be used as lubricant base; its intrinsic lubricity may be further enhanced by the use of additives.
