Hazard Traits - Reproductive Toxicity

S - indicates a substance that is identified in a final Significant New Use Rule.

Status: Active Update: 04-04-2022 https://echa.europa.eu/registration-dossier/-/registered-dossier/10247

Substance: 1,2-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)ethane (TEGDME; triglyme)

Triethylene glycol dimethyl ether: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard

This chemical is combustible. (NTP, 1992)

Combustible.

May have adverse effects on human reproduction, based on animal studies; [ICSC] Labeled as May impair fertility and May cause harm to the unborn child by EU regulations; [Glycol Ethers Online] Prolonged contact with air can form explosive peroxides; [CAMEO] A skin and eye irritant; [NTP] May form explosive peroxides; An irritant; May cause impaired fertility and fetal toxicity; [Alfa Aesar MSDS] See Monoglyme.

TRIETHYLENE GLYCOL DIMETHYL ETHER forms explosive peroxides on prolonged exposure to air. Its decomposition products may be sensitive to shock. The bulk chemical is stable for 2 weeks at temperatures up to 140 °F when protected from light. This chemical is incompatible with strong oxidizers. It is also incompatible with strong acids. It may react with peroxides, oxygen, nitric acid and sulfuric acid. (NTP, 1992).

Eye Irrit. 2 (22.6%)

Fires involving this material can be controlled with a carbon dioxide, dry chemical or Halon extinguisher. A water spray may also be used. (NTP, 1992)

Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.

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.

Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink.

EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

SMALL SPILLS AND LEAKAGE: If you should spill this chemical, use absorbent paper to pick up all liquid spill material. Seal the absorbent paper, as well as any of your clothing which may be contaminated, in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Wash any surfaces you may have contaminated with a soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned.
