**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause severe eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may
cause defatting of the skin and dermatitis. May be absorbed through
the skin.
Ingestion:
May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. Cannot be made
non-poisonous. May cause central nervous system depression, kidney
damage, and liver damage. Symptoms may include: headache,
excitement, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, stupor, and coma. May cause
systemic toxicity with acidosis. May cause liver and kidney damage.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause effects similar to
those described for ingestion. May cause drowsiness, unconsciousness,
and central nervous system depression.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated eye contact may cause conjunctivitis.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause adverse
reproductive effects. May cause liver and kidney damage.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately. Induce vomiting by giving one teaspoon of Syrup of
Ipecac.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode
in the heat of a fire. Flammable Liquid. May form explosive
peroxides. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the
ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of
water.
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Flash Point: 13 deg C ( 55.40 deg F)
NFPA Rating: Not published.
Explosion Limits, Lower: 2.1
Upper: 36.0
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then
place into a chemical waste container. Water spray may reduce vapor
but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Use with adequate ventilation. Ground and bond containers when
transferring material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and
can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with
heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not pressurize,
cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to
heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR
1910.134. Always use a NIOSH-approved respirator when
necessary.

**** SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY ****
Chemical Stability:
Stability unknown This material may be sensitive to peroxide
formation.
Conditions to Avoid:
High temperatures, incompatible materials, ignition sources.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials:
None reported, acids (mineral, non-oxidizing, e.g. hydrochloric acid,
hydrofluoric acid, muriatic acid, phosphoric acid), acids (mineral,
oxidizing, e.g. chromic acid, hypochlorous acid, nitric acid,
sulfuric acid), acids (organic, e.g. acetic acid, benzoic acid,
formic acid, methanoic acid, oxalic acid), azo, diazo, and hydrazines
(e.g. dimethyl hydrazine, hydrazine, methyl hydrazine), isocyanates
(e.g. methyl isocyanate), metals (alkali and alkaline, e.g. cesium,
potassium, sodium), nitrides (e.g. potassium nitride, sodium
nitride), peroxides and hydroperoxides (organic, e.g. acetyl
peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, butyl peroxide, methyl ethyl ketone
peroxide), epoxides (e.g. butyl glycidyl ether), oxidizing agents
(strong, e.g. bromine, hydrogen peroxide, nitrogen dioxide, potassium
nitrate), reducing agents (strong, e.g. aluminum carbide,
chlorosilane, hydrogen phosphide, lithium hydride), water reactive
substances (e.g. acetic anyhdride, alkyl aluminum chloride, calcium
carbide, ethyl dichlorosilane), Isopropanol is susceptible to
autoxidation and therefore should be classified as peroxidizable..
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
