============= Composition/Information on Ingredients =============
Name:METHYLAL
CAS:109-87-5
Fraction by Wt: 100.0%
===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No IARC:No OSHA:No
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
irritation, tearing, vomiting, headache, drowsiness, symptoms of
drunkenness, coma LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in
short term exposure SKIN CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation
LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short term exposure
EYE CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation LONG TERM EXPOSURE: no
information is available INGESTION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: nausea,
stomach pain, drowsiness LONG TERM EXPOSURE: no information is
available
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: Wash skin with soap
and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical attention, if needed. Thoroughly
clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse. EYE
CONTACT: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Then get immediate medical attention. INGESTION: If a large amount
is swallowed, get medical attention.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:0 F (-18 C) (CC)
Autoignition Temp:459 F (237 C)
Lower Limits:2.2%
Upper Limits:13.8%
Extinguishing Media:alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, regular dry
chemical, water, alcohol resistant foam Large fires: Use
alcohol-resistant foam or flood with fine water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well
after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. For fires
in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from unmanned
hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If
this is impossible then take the following precautions: Keep
unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let
the fire burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from
venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire.
For tank, rail car or tank truck: Evacuation radius: 800 meters
(1/2 mile). Water may be ineffective.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. Moderate explosion
hazard. The vapor is heavier than air. Vapors or gases may ignite
at distant ignition sources and flash back. Vapor/air mixtures are
explosive.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources
of ignition. Remove sources of ignition. Stop leak if possible
without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Small
spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect
spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Large
spills: Dike for later disposal. Keep unnecessary people away,
isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind and keep out of low
areas.
Neutralizing Agent:
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Subject to storage
regulations: U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106. Grounding and bonding
required. Keep separated from incompatible substances.
Other Precautions:
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:The following respirators and maximum use
concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA. 2200 ppm Any
supplied-air respirator. Any self-contained breathing apparatus
with a full facepiece. Escape - Any air-purifying respirator with a
full facepiece and an organic vapor canister. Any appropriate
escape-type, self-contained breathing apparatus. For Unknown
Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any
supplied-air respirator with full facepiece and operated in a
pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with
a separate escape supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus
with a full facepiece.
Ventilation:Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ventilation
equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations
of material are present. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure
limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles. Provide an
emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the
immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
clothing.
