| Specification: |
Ethylene glycol diethyl ether (CAS NO.629-14-1) can react with oxidizers. Ethylene glycol diethyl ether is incompatible with strong acids.It causes irritation of nose and throat. Contact with liquid irritates eyes but has little or no effect on skin. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach. Ethylene glycol diethyl ether (CAS NO.629-14-1) will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. |
