Section 3 - Hazards Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: Colorless
Warning! Flammable liquid. May form explosive peroxides. May cause respiratory and
digestive tract irritation. Causes eye irritation. May cause skin irritation. May cause central
nervous system depression. May cause kidney damage. May cause respiratory and/or
cardiac paralysis resulting in suffocation. (Flash Point: 53掳F. - for LC15750)
Target Organs: kidneys, central nervous system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes irritation, characterized by a burning sensation, redness, tearing, inflammation, and possible corneal injury.
Material Safety Data Sheet
Isopropyl alcohol
Skin:
May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause defatting of the skin and dermatitis. May cause irritation with pain and
stinging, especially if the skin is abraded.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause kidney damage. May cause
central nervous system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and
nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory failure.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system effects characterized by headache, dizziness,
unconsciousness and coma. Inhalation of vapor may cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and dermatitis. May cause allergic skin reaction in some
individuals.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids until
chemical is gone. Get medical aid at once.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get
medical aid if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion:
Give conscious victim 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get
medical aid at once.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid at once. Move victim to fresh air immediately. Give artificial respiration if necessary. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or
equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Use water spray to keep
fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. This chemical poses an explosion hazard.
Flammable Liquid. May form explosive peroxides. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground
and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of water. For
large fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray. For small fires, use carbon
dioxide, dry chemical, dry sand, or alcohol-resistant foam. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well
after fire is out.
Autoignition Temperature:
810掳F ( 432.22掳C)

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
General Information:
Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spills with absorbent (vermiculite, sand, fuller's earth) and place in plastic bags for later disposal. Remove all
sources of ignition.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate
ventilation. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed.
Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container.
Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure
limits.
