3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Clear, Colorless, Volatile Liquid
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Warning! High concentrations of vapor can reduce oxygen available for
breathing. Harmful if inhaled. May decompose on contact with flames or extremely hot metal surfaces to produce
toxic and corrosive products.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: Liquid contact can cause irritation, which may be severe.

SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin
irritation and dermatitis (rash).
INGESTION: Ingestion of large amounts may produce abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Swallowing small
amounts is not likely to produce harmful effects.
INHALATION: High concentrations in immediate area can displace oxygen and can cause dizziness,
unconsciousness, and possibly death with longer exposure. Keep people away from such vapors without self-
contained breathing apparatus.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EYES: Can cause severe eye irritation.
ACUTE TOXICITY: Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS
depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention.
SKIN: Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention
if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse.
INGESTION: Aspiration hazard. If swallowed, vomiting may occur spontaneously, but do not induce. If vomiting
occurs, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into lungs. Call a physician immediately.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained
personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASHPOINT AND METHOD: None
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: 7.4 to 15.5
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher.
EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Vapors, when present in the flammable range (listed above), especially in a confined or
poorly ventilated space, can be ignited with a flame or high intesity source of heat.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool and to knock down
vapors which may result from product decomposition.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand,
(MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILL: Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.

-Recover by pumping (use an explosion proof or hand pump) or with a suitable absorbent.
RELEASE NOTES: Spills and releases may have to be reported to Federal and/or local authorities.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Use only in a well ventilated area.
STORAGE: Keep away from heat and flame.
