Fresh air, rest.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink.
No appreciable hazard in ordinary handling or use. (USCG, 1999)
It is slowly absorbed through skin. Excessive exposure involving large areas of skin for extended periods of time would be required before serious effects would be expected.
Fire Extinguishing Agents Not to Be Used: Water or foam may cause frothing. Fire Extinguishing Agents: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or alcohol foam. (USCG, 1999)
Combustible.
Use powder, foam, carbon dioxide.
Collect leaking liquid in covered containers. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Wash away spilled liquid with plenty of water.
Collect leaking liquid in covered containers. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Wash away spilled liquid with plenty of water.
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
NO open flames. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Separated from strong oxidants, strong bases and strong acids.

kinematic viscosity (in mm2/s) = 7. Temperature:25.0°C. Remarks:Equivalent to a dynamic viscosity of 7.3 mPas.
In water, miscible
log Pow = -1.12. Temperature:25 °C.
0.007 mm Hg. Remarks:This value represents a long extrapolation away from the data range used to derive the Antoine constants so should be used with caution. It would be equivalent to a vapour pressure of 0.96 Pa.

On combustion, forms toxic gases. Reacts with strong acids, strong bases and strong oxidants.

CombustibleEthers, such as TRIETHYLENE GLYCOL METHYL ETHER, can act as bases. They form salts with strong acids and addition complexes with Lewis acids. The complex between diethyl ether and boron trifluoride is an example. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert.

A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
AEROBIC: Triethylene glycol monomethyl ether has 10 and 20 day theoretical BOD values of 14 and 23, respectively(1). A study using activated sludge gave a degradation rate for diethylene glycol monoethyl ether of 0.22/hour(2) giving a half-life of 3.2 hours(SRC).
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for triethylene glycol monomethyl ether(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -1.46(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 triethylene glycol monomethyl ether can be estimated to be 10(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that triethylene glycol monomethyl ether 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.
