**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. May cause painful sensitization to
light. May cause blindness. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and
corneal damage.
Skin:
May cause irritation and dermatitis. May cause cyanosis of the
extremities.
Ingestion:
May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. May cause
gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May
cause systemic toxicity with acidosis. May cause central nervous
system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache,
dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause
collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory
failure.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system
effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness
and coma. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause visual
impairment and possible permanent blindness. May cause narcotic
effects in high concentration. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary
edema. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. May cause burning
sensation in the chest.
Chronic:
May cause reproductive and fetal effects. Laboratory experiments
have resulted in mutagenic effects. Animal studies have reported the
development of tumors. Prolonged exposure may cause liver, kidney,
and heart damage.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
Call a poison control center. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting
unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
Ethanol may inhibit methanol metabolism. Treat symptomatically and
supportively. Persons with skin or eye disorders or liver, kidney,
chronic respiratory diseases, or central and peripheral nervous
sytem diseases may be at increased risk from exposure to this
substance.
Antidote:
Ethanol may inhibit methanol metabolism. None reported.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. 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. Will burn
if involved in a fire. Flammable Liquid. Can release vapors that form
explosive mixtures at temperatures above the flashpoint. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be
ineffective. Material is lighter than water and a fire may be spread
by the use of water. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may be
heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in
low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of
water.
**** 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. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. A
vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use
spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue,
(liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly
closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. 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. Keep from contact
with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
away from incompatible substances. Flammables-area. Do not store
near perchlorates, peroxides, chromic acid or nitric acid.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to
acceptable levels.

volatilize, biodegrade, and leach into the ground water, but no data
on the rates of these processes could be found. Its fate in ground
water is unknown. When released into water it will volatilize and
probably biodegrade. It would not be expected to adsorb to
