Glycol Antifreeze Handling Tips

Storage and Handling:

Store antifreeze in a tightly closed container and in a dry, well-ventilated area. Protect from moisture and incompatible substances. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. In case of contamination, remove clothing and wash well before reuse. Avoid inhalation and ingestion. Absorb spill with inert material (eg. earth) before disposing.
