LD50 LC50 Mixture: ORAL LD50(RAT): 13 GM/KG METHANOL
Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES
Skin: YES
Ingestion: YES
Effects of Exposure: HARMFUL BY INHALATION, INGESTION/SKIN ABSORPTION.
INHALATION: IRRITATING TO MUCOUS MEMBRANES & UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT.
EYES: SEVERE IRRITANT. MAY CAUSE INJURY TO THE CORNEA. SKIN: IRRITATION.
INGESTI ON: SWALLOWING AS LITTLE AS 1-4 OUNCES OF METHANOL HAS BEEN REPORTED
TO CAUSE DEATH/SERIOUS IRREVERSIBLE INJURY SUCH AS BLINDNESS.
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING,
STINGING, ITCHING SENSATION IN THE NOSE & THROAT, COUGHING, HEADACHE,
INCOORDINATION, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, IRRITATION, REDNESS, SWELLING, PAIN,
DEFATTING/DRYING OF SKIN, DECREASED REACTION TIMES, EUPHORIA, STAGGERING
GAIT, COMA.
First Aid: INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE CPR/OXYGEN IF NECESSARY.
EYES/SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH W/COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR 15 MINS.
INGESTION: GIVE A PINT OF LUKEWARM WATER IF COMPLETELY CONSCIOUS & A
LERT. DON'T INDUCE VOMITING. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES.
=======================================================
Handling and Disposal
=======================================================
Spill Release Procedures: ELIMINATE ALL IGNITION SOURCES. HANDLING EQUIPMENT
MUST BE GROUNDED TO PREVENT SPARKING. ISOLATED & EVACUATE AREA. USE WATER
TO SUPPRESS VAPORS & DILUTE SPILL. PICK UP W/AN ABSORBENT MATERIAL &
CONTAI NERIZE FOR PROPER DISPOSAL.
Waste Disposal Methods: DISPOSE OF IN ACCORDANCE W/LOCAL, STATE & FEDERAL
REGULATIONS.
Handling And Storage Precautions: STORE AWAY FROM HEAT, OPEN FLAMES, SPARKS,
STRONG OXIDIZING AGENTS. KEEP CONTAINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE.
STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE.
Other Precautions: DANGER! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!
=======================================================
Fire and Explosion Hazard Information
=======================================================
Flash Point Method: TCC
Flash Point: =-17.8C, 0.F
Lower Limits: 2.15
Upper Limits: 13
Extinguishing Media: DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM/CO2
Fire Fighting Procedures: WATER MAY BE INEFFECTIVE, BUT WATER SHOULD BE USED TO
KEEP FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL. WEAR SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
AVOID SKIN CONTACT. APPLY AQUEOUS EXTINGUISHING MEDIA. USE WATER SPRAY TO
DISPERSE VAPORS & FLUSH AWAY SPILLS FROM EXPOSURES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: VAPORS ARE EXPLOSIVE >FLAMMABLE LIMITS WHEN
EXPOSED TO HEAT/SPARKS/FLAME. CONTACT W/STRONG OXIDANTS MAY CAUSE
FIRES/EXPLOSION. VAPORS MAY TRAVEL/BE MOVED BY AIR CURRENTS TO DISTANT
IGNITION SOURCES & FLASHBACK. LIQUID/VAPORS MAY SETTLE IN LOW AREAS.
=======================================================
Control Measures
=======================================================
Respiratory Protection: USE APPROPRIATE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR. USE
SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IN HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS.
Ventilation: USE ONLY W/SUFFICIENT VENTILATION TO PREVENT EXCEEDING EXPOSURE
LIMIT/BUILDUP OF EXPLOSIVE CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR.
Protective Gloves: CHEMICAL RESISTANT
Eye Protection: SPLASH GOGGLES/FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment: EYE WASH STATION, SAFETY SHOWER, APRON/OTHER
IMPERVIOUS CLOTHING
Work Hygienic Practices: REMOVE/LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING & SHOES BEFORE
REUSE.
Supplemental Safety and Health: METHANOL RELEASES FLAMMABLE VAPOR BELOW NORMAL
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. WHEN EXPOSED TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION W/AIR IT CAN BURN
IN THE OPEN/EXPLODE IF CONFINED. HOT ORGANIC CHEMICAL VAPORS/MISTS ARE SUSCEP
TIBLE TO SUDDEN SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION WHEN MIXED W/AIR. PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL
DATA IS FOR ACETONE.
