Fresh air, rest.
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.
Prolonged breathing of vapor may cause irritation and nausea. Contact with liquid may cause mild irritation of eyes and skin. Can be absorbed through skin in toxic amounts. (USCG, 1999)
When diethylene glycol butyl ether (DGBE) and diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate (DGBEA) were applied to the skin for 5 min then washed, most (90%) of the material was recovered. When applied under occlusion for 24 hr, the calculated absorption rates for DGBEA were similar (1.58, 1.28 mg/cm sq/hr for males and females, respectively; mean=1.43) to those of DGBE (0.73, 1.46; mean=1.10 mg/cm sq/hr).

The substance can presumably form explosive peroxides. Reacts with strong oxidants.

CombustibleEsters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.

AEROBIC: Diethyleneglycol monobutyl ether acetate, present at 100 mg/L, reached 100% of its theoretical BOD in four weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L and the Japanese MITI test(1). A 20-day biodegradation study using 2.5 ppm diethyleneglycol monobutyl ether acetate in BOD bottle mineralization dilution water and settled sewage seed at 20 deg C gave a theoretical BOD of 67.6%(2). The normal BOD curve for diethyleneglycol monobutyl ether acetate seeded with microorganisms from domestic sewage shows slow development that usually requires more than five days for the BOD value to reach 20 percent of the theoretical oxygen demand (40% at 14 days)(3). Acclimated microorganisms from the Kanawana River biodegrade diethyleneglycol monobutyl ether acetate much faster with theoretical BOD values of 84% after 10 days and 58% after 10 days using microorganisms acclimated for 59 and 28 days, respectively(3). The difficulty in oxidizing diethyleneglycol monobutyl ether acetate is apparently related to the butoxy group(3). Diethyleneglycol monobutyl ether acetate had theoretical BOD rates of 13.3, 18.4, 24.6, and 67.0% for BOD 5, 10, 15, and 20 days, respectively(4).
An estimated BCF of 2 was calculated in fish for diethyleneglycol monobutyl ether acetate(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 1.30(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of diethyleneglycol monobutyl ether acetate can be estimated to be 10(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that diethyleneglycol monobutyl ether acetate is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC).

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
