By understanding and implementing the guidelines laid out in this Safety Data Sheet—from proper ventilation to specific first-aid measures for methemoglobinemia—safety managers can harness the protective power of Nalco 2000 while ensuring a safe working environment. Always remember to consult the latest SDS provided by your specific supplier (Nalco Water/Ecolab) before handling, as formulations and regulations may be updated.

The product, once in use, should be drained and flushed once every 12 months.

The product is harmful to aquatic life; spills must be contained to prevent environmental damage. 2. Chemical Composition

Nalco 2000 is widely used as a cooling system treatment in diesel engines, protecting ferrous metals, copper and copper alloys, and aluminum components from corrosive attack. It is approved by major diesel engine manufacturers worldwide. The product can be diluted with water in all proportions. Dosage can be monitored using to measure nitrite levels.

To achieve the best results, Nalco 2000 must be used correctly.

As highlighted by industry experts , the SDS is a vital document for any chemical substance. For Nalco 2000, it is crucial for:

Providing first responders with necessary information. Compliance: Meeting OSHA and environmental regulations.

Functions as a general dispersant to prevent particulate clustering and scale. Physical and Chemical Properties

Because Nalco 2000 is water-soluble and can be slippery, spill response is critical.

Specialized azoles or related compounds added specifically to protect copper, brass, and solder components. 2. Hazard Identification and GHS Classification

The SDS classifies the product as . Specifically, Section 2 of the MSDS highlights risk phrases such as R22 (Harmful if swallowed) and R36/38 (Irritating to eyes and skin). While it is classified as hazardous for human contact, it is generally not classified as a dangerous good for transport under national or international regulations (e.g., ADR), meaning it has low immediate reactivity/flammability risks.

Used for pH buffering and corrosion control.

No OSHA-defined carcinogens are typical for this product.

Safe for ferrous metals (cast iron), copper, copper alloys, and aluminium. It is also designed to be non-harmful to rubber gaskets, O-rings, and seals .
