3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Danger: Poison. Ingestion of even small amounts of methyl alcohol can cause blindness and death.
Cannot be made nonpoisonous. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Combustible Liquid. May cause
eye injury which may persist for several days. Liquid and vapor in high concentrations, causes eye
irritation, tearing and burning sensations.
HMIS Classification: Health: *2 Flammability: 3 Physical Hazard: 0
NFPA Rating: Health: 1 Flammability: 3 Reactivity: 0
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: In case of contact, or suspected contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
and get medical attention immediately after flushing.
Ingestion: If swallowed, induce vomiting immediately by giving two glasses of water and sticking fingers down throat;
never give anything to an unconscious person. Get medical attention. Drink a large amount of water, milk
or sodium bicarbonate to dilute material in stomach.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If
breathing is difficult give oxygen. Get medical attention.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes, and launder before reuse. Get
medical attention if irritation persists.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties
Flash Point 掳F(掳C): 175 F
Flash Point Method: TAG Closed Cup
Flammable Limits in Air - Lower (%): 6% (lowest Component)
Flammable Limits in Air - Upper (%): 36% (Lowest Component)
Autoignition Temperature 掳F(掳C): 475 F. (Lowest Component)
Extinguishing Media: Alcohol foam. Foam. Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide.
Protection Of Fire-Fighters:
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Avoid water
streams which may splash and spread flaming liquid. Water spray can be used to reduce the intensity of
the flames and dilute spills to a non-flammable mixture. Vapor may cause flash fire. Methanol and water
mixtures will burn unless very dilute. Mixtures with 25% or more Methanol are OSHA Class 1 Flammable
Liquids.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Monoxide. Acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
Aerosol Comments: Not Applicable
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment to prevent skin and eye contact. Avoid breathing
vapor. When airborne exposure limits are exceeded use NIOSH approved respiratory protection
equipment appropriate to the material and/or its components.
Spill Procedures: Wear protective equipment specified. Only trained and qualified personel should handle any spilled or
leaked product.
Action to be taken if material is released Remove sources of ignition. Increase area ventilation. Stop release at source. Dike area and contain.
or spilled: Absorb spills on inert material such as perlite, vermiculite, sand or dirt. Place in double polyethylene bags.
Isolate from other waste materials.
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow to enter sanitary drains, sewer or surface and subsurface waters.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling and Storage: Keep container closed when not in use. Avoid breathing vapors, if exposed to high vapor concentration,
leave area at once. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use only in a well ventilated area. Keep away from
food and smoking materials. Wash hands before eating and smoking. Keep away from heat and open
flame. Avoid extreme temperatures.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust. Eyewash stations. Showers.
Eyes: Safety glasses with side shields.
Skin Protection: Use chemical resistant gloves for prolonged skin contact. Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild
soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking and when leaving work. Launder contaminated clothing
before reuse.
Respiratory Protection: Appropriate respiratory protection shall be worn when applied engineering controls are not adequate to
protect against inhalation exposure. Organic vapor cartridge respirators NOT recommended for methanol
vapor exposures.
