Section I: Product Identification
CATALOG NUMBER: 5320/5322 PRODUCT NAME: Regulated Volatiles
Section II - Hazardous Ingredients/Identity Information
Chemical Name CAS Reg. No. OSHA PEL (TWA) % Composition*
Methanol 67-56-1 200 ppm >97%
A table of the compounds possible in this volatiles
analytical standard is attached. Data included in the table
are formulas, CAS numbers, oral LD50 values for rats and
PEL/TWA values if available. Total concentration of
volatile compounds in the standard is less than 2% with
individual compound concentrations of less than 0.1%.
Non-Hazardous Ingredients/Identity Information
Chemical Name CAS Reg. No. OSHA PEL (TWA) % Composition*
* Components are calculated on a weight/weight basis.
Section III - Physical/Chemical Characteristics of Hazardous Ingredients
BOILING POINT: 65 C (149 F) @ 760 mmHg SPECIFIC GRAVITY: (H20=1) 0.79
VAPOR PRESSURE: 97 mm @ 20 C SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Complete APPEARANCE/ODOR: Clear, colorless liquid with a
pungent odor (methanol).
Section IV - Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
FLASH POINT (Method used): 12 C (54 F) CC AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE: 463 C (867 F) FLAMMABLE LIMITS LEL 6% UEL 36%
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use extinguisher media appropriate for surrounding fire since sample is small. Alcohol foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (water may be
ineffective in most laboratory situations).
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in
positive pressure mode. Move containers from fire area if it can be done without risk. Use water to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Vapors may flow along surfaces to distant ignition sources and flash back. Closed containers exposed to heat may
explode. Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire. Burns with a clear, almost invisible flame.
Section V - Reactivity Data
STABILITY: Unstable Stable Conditions to Avoid: Heat, flame, other sources of ignition.
INCOMPATIBILITY (Materials to avoid):
Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, zinc, aluminum, magnesium.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde.
HAZARDOUS May Occur Will Not Occur Conditions to Avoid:
POLYMERIZATION:

Section VI - Health Hazard Data
ROUTES OF Inhalation? YES Skin? YES Ingestion? YES
ENTRY
HEALTH HAZARDS (Acute and Chronic): ACUTE: Yes, see chronic symptoms. CHRONIC: Yes, methanol ingestion may be fatal or cause blindness, headache,
nausea, vomiting, dizziness, gastrointestinal irritation, central nervous system depression, hearing loss.
COMPONENTS LISTED AS CARCINOGENS OR POTENTIAL CARCINOGENS: None listed in IARC Monograph.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Irritation of skin, eyes, nose, throat and headache. Prolonged contact may cause dermatitis. Exposure effects may differ
between individuals.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Eye disorders, skin disorders, liver or kidneys disorders.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Seek medical assistance for treatment, observation and support if necessary. EYE CONTACT: Flush with water,
obtain medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: Wash with soap and water, use protective creams INHALATION: Remove to fresh air, if not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen, obtain medical attention. INGESTION: If conscious, give water and baking soda, induce vomiting. Obtain medical
assistance immediately.
Section VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: (Sample) shut off ignition sources. No flares, smoking or flames in area. Take up with sand
or other non-combustible absorbent material and place into container for later disposal. Flush area with water.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations. Excess sample should be placed in a
proper waste solvent container.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Keep container tightly closed, store in a cool, dry, well ventilated, flammable liquid storage area.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS* Do not heat or evaporate sample to dryness.
Section VIII - Control Measures
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (Please specify): (Methanol) required if airborne concentration exceeds TWA of 200 ppm.
VENTILATION: Local exhaust. General or local exhaust to meet TLV regulations.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Rubber gloves recommended. EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses or goggles.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: N/A
EMERGENCY WASH FACILITIES: Maintain eye wash and quick drench showers in work area.
