**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Reacts violently with water. Toxic by inhalation
and if swallowed. Causes burns.Moisture sensitive.Corrosive.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. May cause blindness. May cause chemical
conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May cause cyanosis of the extremities. May cause
skin rash (in milder cases), and cold and clammy skin with cyanosis
or pale color.
Ingestion:
May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. May cause severe and
permanent damage to the digestive tract. Poison by ingestion. Causes
gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause perforation of the digestive
tract. Ingestion of large amounts may cause CNS depression. May cause
systemic effects.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May cause visual
impairment and possible permanent blindness. Inhalation may be fatal
as a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi,
chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Toxic if inhaled.
Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. Vapors may cause dizziness or
suffocation. May cause systemic effects.
Chronic:
Effects may be delayed.

**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid immediately. 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. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration
using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a
mask.
Notes to Physician:
Ethanol may inhibit methanol metabolism.
Antidote:
Ethanol may inhibit methanol metabolism.

**** 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. During a
fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Will burn if involved in a fire. Use
water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may
explode in the heat of a fire. 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:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use foam, dry
chemical, or carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective. DO NOT USE
WATER! Do NOT get water inside containers. 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. Do
not get water inside containers. A vapor suppressing foam may be
used to reduce vapors.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use
spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Empty containers
retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and
flame. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. Use
with adequate ventilation. Use and store under nitrogen. Do not
allow contact with water. Discard contaminated shoes. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty
containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Keep from contact with
moist air and steam.
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. Store protected from moisture.

**** 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
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
