SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: Colorless, highly volatile liquid with a sweetish odor. Danger! Extremely flammable liquid FP=-4F (-
20C). Causes irritation to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Causes central nervous system depression. May cause
liver and kidney damage. Toxic effects are enhanced by ethanol.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system, liver, respiratory system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: Produces irritation, characterized by a burning sensation, redness, tearing, inflammation, and possible corneal
injury.
Skin: Exposure may cause irritation characterized by redness, dryness, and inflammation.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause central nervous system depression, kidney damage,
and liver damage. Symptoms may include: headache, excitement, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, stupor, and coma.
Inhalation: Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system effects characterized by headache,
dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause liver and kidney damage.
May cause motor incoordination and speech abnormalities.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic inhalation may cause effects similar to
those of acute inhalation.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Get
medical aid immediately.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and
shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively. No specific antidote exists.

SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information: Containers may build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire. As in any fire, wear a self-
contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective
gear. Vapors may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool.
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. For
large fires, use water spray, fog, or alcohol-resistant foam.
Autoignition Temperature: 33oF (0.56oC)
Flash Point: -4oF (-20.00oC)
Explosion Limits: Lower = 2.5; Upper = 12.8
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place into a chemical waste container.
Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize contact with skin. Remove all sources of ignition.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with
adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue,
(liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
such containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage: Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control
airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
