Product name: DOWFROST™ Heat Transfer Fluid Issue Date: 01/23/2015 Eyes: May cause slight temporary eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Skin: Prolonged contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. Repeated contact may cause flaking and softening of skin. Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Inhalation: At room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to low volatility. Mist may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract (nose and throat).

Product name: DOWFROST™ Heat Transfer Fluid Issue Date: 01/23/2015 Mobility in soil Propylene glycol Given its very low Henry's constant, volatilization from natural bodies of water or moist soil is not expected to be an important fate process. Potential for mobility in soil is very high (Koc between 0 and 50). Partition coefficient(Koc): < 1 Estimated. Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate No relevant data found. 13.
