Section 3 Hazard Identification
Emergency Overview: This product is a clear liquid with a characteristic smell and flash
point of 41oF.
Primary Routes of Exposure:
Skin Contact
Eye Contact
Inhalation
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Eye: Contact may cause eye irritation.
N/A: Not Applicable N/D: Not Determined N/E: Not Established N/R: Not Required Est.: Estimated
Parks Denatured Alcohol (12-01-06) Page 1 of 6 pages.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
Ingestion: May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Signs and Symptoms: Prolonged exposure to excessive concentrations of ethanol may result in
irritation of mucous membranes, headache, drowsiness, fatigue and narcosis. Methanol is also
narcotic in effect and its effects are cumulative. Overexposure to methanol can result in acidosis
and visual disturbances which may progress to permanent loss of vision.
(See also Sections 4, 8, and 11for related information)
Section 4 First Aid Measures
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention
if irritation persists.
Skin contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation
develops or persists. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: If swallowed, Contact a physician or Poison Control Center. Do Not induce
vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Section 5 Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point (method): 41oF (TCC.)
Extinguishing Media: Foam, Dry Chemical, Water Fog, CO2
Protection of Firefighters: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-
demand, NIOSH and full protective gear. Evacuate area and fight fire from safe distance.
LEL: 3% UEL: 19%
Section 6 Accidental Release Measures
Clean Up Methods: Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep unnecessary people away. Dike and
contain spill with inert material (sand, earth, etc.). Transfer liquid to containers for recovery or
disposal, or absorb with absorbent materials and place into containers for disposal. Keep spill

out of sewer and open bodies of water. Floors may be slippery; care should be exercised to
avoid falls during clean up operations.
(See also Section 8 for information on Exposure Controls and Personal Protective Equipment)
Section 7 Handling and Storage
Handling: Keep away from heat, sparks and flame
Storage: Keep container closed. Use with adequate ventilation.
Other Precautions: Emptied containers retain product residue. Follow label warnings
even after container is emptied.
Section 8 Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Use in well-ventilated areas. If necessary use mechanical local
exhaust ventilation or general room dilution ventilation to reduce vapor concentrations.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Eye Protection: Prevent eye contact. Wear chemical splash goggles or similar eye
protection if the potential exists for eye contact.
Skin Protection: Prevent skin contact. Wear chemical-resistant flexible-type gloves
(neoprene, PVC, butyl, nitrile or similar). Depending on conditions of use additional protective
equipment may be necessary such as face-shield, apron or coveralls.
Respiratory Protection: None required for normally expected use conditions. If
occupational exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation is experienced, wear an appropriate
NIOSH approved respirator with organic vapor cartridges.
General Hygiene Practices: Wash after handling material. Prevent Eye contact. Avoid
prolonged skin and inhalation contact. Wash thoroughly before handling food, cosmetics, or
before smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.
