===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:DANGER:FLAMMABLE,POISON,IRRITANT.
CRITERION SCIENCES THREE-STEP STAIN FIXATIVE CONTAINS METHANOL,A
FLAMMABLE,COLORLESS,POISONOUS LIQUID WITH A SLIGHT ALCOHOL ODOR.
METHANOL IS AN EXPERIMENTAL TERATOGE N WITH EXPERIMENTAL
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS. VAPOR IS HARMFUL,MAY BE FATAL OR CAUSE
BLINDNESS IF SWALLOWED. IT CANNOT BE MADE NONPOISONOUS. METHANOL IS
HARMFUL IF INHALED AND CAUSES IRRITATION TO EYES,SK IN AND
RESPIRATORY TRACT. IRRITATION OF EYES,NOSE,THROAT AND MUCOUS
MEMBRANES OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT. BREATHING OF
VAPOR,ABSORPTION THROUGH SKIN,OR INGESTION CAN CAUSE PERMANENT
BLINDNESS.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF MUCOUS
MEMBRANES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. EYE: VAPOR MAY CAUSE EYE
IRRITATION, CONTACT MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION. SKIN: CONTACT
WITH LIQUID COULD CAUSE STAINING, IRRITATION, DRYNESS AND CRACKING
OF THE SKIN. INGESTION: MAY CAUSE NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIZZINESS,
BLINDNESS OR DEATH.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AREA TO FRESH AIR
IMMEDIATELY. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED,GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.
IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT GIVE OXYGEN. EYE: FLUSH EYES IMMEDIATELY
WITH LARGE AMOU NTS OF WATER,OCCASIONALLY LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER
LIDS FOR AT LEAST 15-20 MINS. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING
AND SHOES IMMEDIATELY. WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH SOAP OR MILD
DETERGENT AND LARGE AMOUN TS OF WATER. IN ALL CASES, SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:=12.2C, 54.F
Autoignition Temp:=400.C, 752.F
Lower Limits:6.0
Upper Limits:36.0
Fire Fighting Procedures:REMOVE CONTAINER FROM FIRE AREA IF YOU CAN DO
IT WITHOUT RISK. APPLY COOLING WATER TO SIDES OF CONTAINERS THAT
ARE EXPOSED TO FLAMES UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE IS OUT. EXTINGUISH ONLY
IF FLOW CAN BE STOPPE D. USE FLOODING AMOUNTS OF WATER AS FOG:
SOLID STREAMS MAY BE INEFFECTIVE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD AND MODERATE
EXPLOSION HAZARD WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT, FLAME, OR OXIDIZERS. VAPORS
ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY TRAVEL A CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE TO A
SOURCE OF IGNITION AND FLASH BACK . VAPOR-AIR MIXTURE IS
EXPLOSIVE.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:SHUT OFF IGNITION SOURCES. DO NOT TOUCH SPILL
MATERIAL. STOP LEAK IF YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT RISK. TAKE UP SPILLED
MATERIAL WITH SAND OF OTHER ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND PLACE INTO
CONTAINERS FOR LATER DISP OSAL. NO SMOKING,FLAMES OR FLARES IN
HAZARD AREA! KEEP UNNECESSARY PEOPLE AWAY. (SARA) SEC 304 REQUIRES
THAT A RELEASE=OR >THE REPORTABLE QUANTITY FOR THIS SUBSTANCE BE
IMMEDIATELY REPORTED.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT,SPARKS AND FLAME.
KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED AND IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION TO PREVENT
LEAKAGE. AVOID BREATHING VAPOR OR SPRAY MIST. STORE AT 15 DEG C TO
30 DEG C IN A WELL VENTILAT ED PLACE,AWAY FROM SOURCES OF IGNITION.
IN LABORATORY QUANTITIES,STORE AWAY FROM OXIDIZING MATERIAL
Other Precautions:METHANOL IS A CLASS 1B FLAMMABLE LIQUID. FOLLOW THE
MAXIMUM ALLOWED PILE HEIGHTS SPECIFIED IN THE BOCA CODES OR THE
NFPA MANUAL. LOCAL FIRE AUTHORITY SHOULD BE NOTIFIED FOR STORAGE OF
THIS MATERIAL IN ANY QUANTITY. LOCAL PERMITS ARE REQUIRED FOR
STORAGE IN WHAREHOUSE QUANTITIES.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:WHERE THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR EXPOSURES OVER
1000 PPM, USE A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WITH AN ORGANIC VAPOR
CARTRIDGE/CANISTER. MORE PROTECTION IS PROVIDED BY A FULL FACEPIECE
RESPIRATOR THAN BY A H ALF-MASK RESPIRATOR, AND EVEN GREATER
PROTECTION IS PROVIDED BY A POWERED-AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:PROVIDE LOCAL EXHAUST OR PROCESS ENCLOSURE VENTILATION TO
MEET THE PUBLISHED EXPOSURE LIMITS. VENTILATION EQUIPMENT MUST BE
EXPLOSION-PROOF.
Protective Gloves:NITRILE RUBBER OR VITON GLOVES
Eye Protection:SPLASH-PROOF OR DUST-RESISTANT GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:EMPLOYEE MUST WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT REPEATED OR PROLONGED SKIN
CONTACT WITH THIS SUBSTANCE.
Work Hygienic Practices:WHERE THERE IS ANY POSSIBILITY THAT AN
EMPLOYEE'S EYES MAY BE EXPOSED TO THIS SUBSTANCE,THE EMPLOYER
SHOULD PROVIDE AN EYE WASH FOUNTAIN WITHIN THE IMMEDIATE WORK AREA
FOR EMERGENCY USE.
