3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
EU Main Hazards
Highly flammable.
Irritating to eyes.
May cause cancer.
Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed.
Vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Routes of Entry
- Eye contact - Skin contact - Inhalation - Absorption
Carcinogenic Status
Not considered carcinogenic by NTP, IARC, and OSHA.
Target Organs
- Eye - Skin - Respiratory System - Central Nervous System
Health Effects - Eyes
Liquid, mist or vapor will cause conjunctival irritation and possibly corneal damage.
Health Effects - Skin
Repeated or prolonged contact may produce defatting of the skin leading to irritation and dermatitis.
Liquid may be absorbed through the skin but not in toxicologically significant amounts, unless the area
of contact is large and exposure prolonged.
Health Effects - Ingestion
Swallowing may have the following effects:
- irritation of mouth, throat and digestive tract - central nervous system depression

3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
A large dose may have the following effects:
- dizziness - drowsiness - headache - mental confusion - nerve damage leading to numbness and
muscle weakness - fall of blood pressure - liver damage - lung damage
Health Effects - Inhalation
Exposure to vapor may have the following effects:
- irritation of nose, throat and respiratory tract - central nervous system depression
Exposure to vapor at high concentrations may have the following effects:
- dizziness - drowsiness - headache - mental confusion - lung damage - fall of blood pressure -
liver damage - nerve damage leading to numbness and muscle weakness
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes
Immediately flood the eye with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eye open. Obtain
medical attention if soreness or redness persists.
Skin
If skin irritation develops, or other symptoms occur, discontinue use. Seek medical attention if
symptoms persist.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Have victim drink 1-3 glasses of water to dilute stomach contents. Never
administer anything by mouth if a victim is losing consciousness, is unconscious or is convulsing.
Obtain medical attention immediately.
Inhalation
If there is difficulty in breathing, give oxygen. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Advice to Physicians
Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media
Not Flammable. Select extinguishing agent appropriate to other materials involved.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
This product may give rise to hazardous fumes in a fire.
Protective Equipment for Fire-Fighting
Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Contain and absorb using earth, sand or other inert material. Transfer into suitable containers for
recovery or disposal. Wear appropriate protective clothing.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Storage
area should be: - cool - dry - well ventilated - away from incompatible materials

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Toxicity
(Isopropyl Alcohol) Oral LD50 (rat) 5045mg/kg. Dermal LD50 (rabbit) 12800mg/kg. Inhalation LCLO
(rat) 1600ppm 4h
Chronic Toxicity/Carcinogenicity
(Isopropyl Alcohol) IARC assessment: this product is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to
humans (Group 3). Chronic/Subchronic studies resulted in adverse effects to: - liver - spleen -
biochemical effects - brain tissue degeneration - changes in reflex behavior - sensory nerve damage
Reproductive/Developmental Toxicity
(Isopropyl Alcohol) Experimental studies in animals have provided some evidence of embryo/fetoxicity
and birth defects only at doses producing marked maternal toxicity.
(Propylene Glycol) Intraperitoneal injections (100 mg/kg) to mice during pregnancy resulted in an
increase in post-implantation mortality and fetotoxicity.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Mobility
(Isopropyl Alcohol)
If released to soil, isopropyl alcohol is expected to have very high mobility.
Persistence/Degradability
(Isopropyl Alcohol)
Isopropyl alcohol is readily degraded in aerobic aqueous systems.
Bio-accumulation
(Isopropyl Alcohol)
An estimated BCF of 3 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
Ecotoxicity
(Isopropyl Alcohol)
Tests on the following species gave a 96h LC50 of 1150mg/litre: - brown shrimp
Tests on the following species gave a 96h LC50 of 6.12-9.64mg/litre: - fathead minnows
(Propylene Glycol)
Tests on the following species gave a 96h LC50 of 10000mg/litre: - guppies
