Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide may be produced in a fire. (USCG, 1999)

Flammable. Above 40 °C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.

A skin, eye, and respiratory tract irritant; Inhalation of high concentrations can cause CNS depression; High concentrations (>1600 ppm) may cause severe eye irritation and tearing; [CHEMINFO] A mild eye irritant; [ICSC] Danger of cutaneous absorption; [MAK] An irritant; [MSDSonline] See GLYCOL ETHERS.

PROPYLENE GLYCOL ETHYL ETHER may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. May generate flammable and/or toxic gases with alkali metals, nitrides, and other strong reducing agents. May initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.

Fire Extinguishing Agents: Alcohol foam, water spray, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. (USCG, 1999)

Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

Fresh air, rest.

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
