SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCESURES: In case of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Heat may build pressure and rupture
closed storage containers. Keep fire-exposed containers cool with water spray. May burn with an invisible flame. Mixtures with water as low as 21% by volume are still
flammable. Under some circumstances can corrode certain metals, including aluminum and zinc, and generate hydrogen gas.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, CO2, alcohol foam, water mist or fog.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: N/A
Section V - Reactivity Data
Unstable Stable X Conditions to Avoid: Heat, sparks, and contact with ignition source.
STABILITY:
INCOMPATIBILITY (Materials to avoid):
Strong oxidizing agents and reactive metals which will displace hydrogen.

Section VI - Health Hazard Data
ROUTES OF Inhalation? YES Skin? YES Ingestion? YES
ENTRY
HEALTH HAZARDS (Acute and Chronic): INHALATION: Exposure can cause drowsiness and intoxication, headache, visual disturbance leading to blindness,
coughing and shortness of breath, collapse and death at high concentrations. EYE CONTACT: Liquid can cause moderate burning, watering, swelling, and redness.
SKIN CONTACT: Extensive, repeated and/or prolonged skin contact can cause burning, itching, redness, or blisters. INGESTION: Causes burning of the GI tract and
toxic effects. Swallowing >2oz. of methanol can cause death. CANCER HAZARD
COMPONENTS LISTED AS CARCINOGENS OR POTENTIAL CARCINOGENS: Pentachlorophenol 87-86-5 (IARC), Dinoseb 88-85-7 (CA PROP 65), Dichlorprop
120-36-5 (IARC), Acifluorfen 50594-66-6 (CA PROP 65) RTECS #6300000
Consult RTECS for complete information on the effects of these compounds.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Mild poisoning is characterized by fatigue, nausea, headache, and delayed visual burning. Moderate intoxication
results in severe depression. Temporary or permanent blindness may follow in 2-6 days. In severe poisoning, symptoms progress to rapid, shallow respiration,
cyanosis, coma, hypotension, dilated pupils, and visual disturbance. Death may result from respiratory failure.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Dermatitis, diseases of eyes, liver, kidneys, lungs, and cardiovascular system.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: EYES: Remove contact lenses if present. Hold eyelids open and irrigate with large volumes of water for 15 min.
Seek medical treatment. SKIN: Immediately wash with soap and water. Continue rinsing with large volumes of water for 15 min. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek
medical treatment. INHALATION: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Have a trained person administer oxygen and CPR if needed. Contact a physician immediately.
INGESTION: Ingestion may cause blindness. Contact Poison Control Center for assistance. Contact a physician immediately. Never give anything by mouth to a
victim unconscious or having convulsions.
