===================== Hazards Identification =====================
LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL LD50 (RATS) = 9100 MG/KG
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:PROLONGED INHALATION OF VAPORS CAUSES
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISTURBANCES, RESPIRATORY FAILURE, NARCOSIS,
LIVER DAMAGE, DEATH. REPEATED OR PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT CAUSES
DRYING, BRITTLENESS, CRACKING, IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE EYE TEMPORARY
EYEINJURY. POISONOUS IF SWALLOWED. CAN EFFECT THE OPTIC NERVE
RESULTING IN BLINDNES
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS COMPOUND CONTAINS NO INGREDIENTS AT
CONCENTRATIONS OF 0.1% OR GREATER THAT ARE CARCINOGENS OR SUSPECT
CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, VISUAL IMPAIRMENT,
RESPIRATORY FAILURE, MUSCULAR INCOORDINATION, NARCOSIS, DEATH,
LIVER DAMAGE, SKIN IRRITATION/DRYNESS/BRITTLENESS/CRACKING, EYE
IRRITATION/TEARING/BURNING, BLINDNE SS, MENTAL SLUGGISHNESS,
NAUSEA, VOMITING.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:METHANOL EXPOSURE MAY AGGRAVATE
EXISTING EYE, SKIN, KIDNEY AND LIVER DISORDERS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. RESTORE BREATHING. KEEP
WARM AND QUIET. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: WASH AFFECTED AREA
THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION. EYES: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES.
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: INDUCE VOMITING OF CONSCIOUS
PATIENT IMMEDIATELY. CALL PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.

Upper Limits:36 %
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE, WATR SPRAY, "ALCOHOL"
FOAM
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA &
FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN FIGHTING CHEMICAL FIRE. USE WATER
SPRAY TO COOL NEARBY CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY FLOW
ALONG SURFACE TO DISTANT IGNITION SOURCES AND FLASH BACK. WATER
SPRAY CAN BE USED TO REDUCE THE INTENSITY OF FLAMES.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:FLSUH SPILL AREA WITH PLENTY OF WATER. DO NOT
FLUSH TO SEWER. COMPLY WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS ON
REPORTING RELEASES.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
DO NOT EXPOSE TO TEMPERATURES ABOVE 120F. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT,
SPARKS AND FLAME. KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED.
Other Precautions:USE SPARK-RESISTANT TOOLS. DO NOT LOAD INTO
COMPARTMENTS NEXT TO HEATED CARGO. WHEN TRANSFERRING, FOLLOW PROPER
GROUNDING PROCEDURES. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. PROVIDE
EMERGENCY EXHAUST. AVOID BR EATHING VAPOR. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:IF VENTILATION DOES NOT MAINTAIN INHALATION
EXOSURES BELOW PEL (TLV), USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR AS PER
CURRENT 29 CFR 1910.134, INSTRUCTIONS/WARNINGS AND NIOSH RESPIRATOR
SELECTION.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST AND MECHANICAL (GENERAL) VENTILATION TO
