Hmm, interesting discussion here. My question is as "prist" is an aerosol and classified as UN1950, do all these Citations have dangerous goods licenses to carry this on board?
This is a quote from the Prist website:
Health Risk Rating: Harmful
Health Hazards
Acute— Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DEGMME), the primary ingredient of Prist Hi-Flash aviation fuel additive, is an eye and mucous membrane irritant, a nephrotoxin and central nervous system depressant.
DEGMME can be absorbed through skin in toxic amounts when contact is extensive and prolonged; it is toxic by skin absorption. And it may cause pain and transient injury to eyes. DEGMME may cause irritation to the mucous membranes. Due to the low volatility of this material, it is believed to present no unusual hazards from inhalation when handled at room temperature. The oral toxicity of DEGMME is low.
