SECTION 2: Composition/Information on Ingredients
Name: Isopropanol, IPA, 2-Propanol, Dimethyl Carbinol CAS#: 67-63-0
SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Colorless, volatile liquid with the odor of rubbing alcohol. Isopropyl Alcohol is
a dangerous fire risk. Prolonged exposure to elevated concentrations of vapors
may result in irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat and central nervous system
(CNS) depression. Prolonged dermal exposure can result in dry, cracking skin.
Potential Routes of Exposure: Ingestion, inhalation, dermal contact,
eye contact
Target Organs: Eyes, skin, respiratory system
Symptoms of Overexposure:
Inhalation: Mild irritation of eyes, nose and throat.
Ingestion: Drowsiness, headache
Dermal Contact: Dry, cracking skin
Acute Effects: Irritation of skin and/or upper respiratory tract as
noted above. Acute CNS depression may be
manifested as giddiness, headache, dizziness
and/or nausea.
Chronic Effects: Chronic exposure can result in skin irritation and
contact dermititus Pre-existing disorders of the
skin, eyes, and respiratory tract may be
exacerbated by exposure to isopropyl alcohol.
HMIS: H=1, F=3, R=0 See Section 8 for PPE information
SECTION 4: First Aid Measures
Eye: Flush eyes with copious amount of water for at least 15 minutes
Skin: Flush with water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting if victim is unconscious or drowsy. Seek
medical attention or contact the poison control center.
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and provided oxygen if breathing is
difficult. Seek Medical attention if breathing continues to be
difficult.

SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, alcohol foam, dry chemical or CO2
Unusual Fire or Containers exposed to intense heat from fires should be
Explosion Hazards: cooled with large amounts of water to prevent buildup of
internal pressure due to vapor generation which could
result in container rupture.
Recommendations: Clear area of unprotected personnel. Wear complete
turnout gear. Cool containers exposed to fire with water.
SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
Large Spills: Eliminate all ignition sources. Equipment must be grounded to
prevent sparking. Evacuate the area of unprotected personnel.
Contain source of spill. Dike or otherwise confine spilled
product. Uncontrolled releases to air, land, or water may be
reportable to the National Response Center (1-800-424-8802).
Small Spills: Take up with absorbent material and place in non-leaking
container; seal tightly. Dispose of absorbent (see section 13)
SECTION 7: Handling and Storage
Storage Requirements: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry area
away from heat and other possible ignition sources.
Handling precautions: Use non-sparking tools to open containers. Maintain
appropriate class of fire extinguishers nearby in case
of fire.
SECTION 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
OSHA PEL=400ppm OSHA STEL=500ppm IDLH=12,000ppm
Recommended Engineering Controls: Use explosion-proof ventilation
equipment as necessary to maintain airborne concentrations below the PEL.
Ground all containers to prevent static sparks during fluid transfers.
Recommended Admin Controls: Train employees on the hazards of Isopropyl
Alcohol
PPE: Goggles, gloves, NIOSH approved respiratory protection required when
above PEL/TWA
Recommended Hygiene Practices: Clean PPE and work clothing contaminated
prior to reuse. After working with this product, be sure to wash before eating,
smoking, drinking, or applying cosmetics.
