**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if
swallowed. Toxic : danger of very serious irreversible effects
through inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Produces irritation, characterized by a burning sensation, redness,
tearing, inflammation, and possible corneal injury. May cause
painful sensitization to light.
Skin:
Causes moderate skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in
harmful amounts. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause
defatting of the skin and dermatitis.
Ingestion:
May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. Cannot be made
non-poisonous. 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. May cause cardiopulmonary system
effects.
Inhalation:
May cause adverse central nervous system effects including headache,
convulsions, and possible death. May cause visual impairment and
possible permanent blindness. Causes irritation of mucous membrane.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic
inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those of acute
inhalation and ingestion. Chronic exposure may cause reproductive
disorders and teratogenic effects. Laboratory experiments have
resulted in mutagenic effects.
**** 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
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
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. Wash mouth out with water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Effects may be delayed. Ethanol may inhibit methanol metabolism.
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
**** 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. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. Vapors can travel to a source
of ignition and flash back. During a fire, irritating and highly
toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Flammable Liquid. Can release vapors that form explosive mixtures at
temperatures above the flashpoint. Water may be ineffective. Material
is lighter than water and a fire may be spread by the use of water.
Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and
collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use foam, dry
chemical, or carbon dioxide. Use flooding quantities of water as
spray.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using an absorbent,
non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not
use combustible materials such as sawdust. Use a spark-proof tool.
Provide ventilation. Water spray may reduce vapor but may not prevent
ignition in closed spaces.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Ground and bond containers when
transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof
equipment. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in
eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty containers retain product
residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep away from
heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest or inhale. Use only in a
chemical fume hood. 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 cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed
container. Flammables-area.
**** 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.
