SECTION 4 - FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA
NO YES
FLAMMABILITY IF YES, UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS?
Flammable - Highly flammable in presence of heat. Flammable in presence of open flames and sparks. Slightly
flammable to flammable in presence of oxidizing materials. Non-flammable in presence of shocks, of reducing materials,
of combustible materials, of organic materials, of metals, of acids, of alkalis. CAUTION: MAY BURN WITH NEAR
INVISIBLE FLAME Vapor may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. May form explosive
mixtures with air. Contact with Bromine pentafluoride is likely to cause fire or explosion. Ethanol ignites on contact with
chromyl chloride. Ethanol ignites on contact with iodine heptafluoride gas. It ignites than explodes upon contact with
nitrosyl perchlorate. Addition of platinum black catalyst caused ignition. (Ethyl alcohol 200 Proof) Iodine Tincture, 2%
Ethanol has an explosive reaction with the oxidized coating around potassium metal.
Hazards Ethanol ignites and then explodes on contact with acetic anhydride + sodium hydrosulfate (ignites and may
explode), disulfuric acid + nitric acid, phosphorous (III) oxide platinum, potassium-tert-butoxide+ acids. Ethanol forms
explosive products in reaction with the following compound : ammonia + silver nitrate (forms silver nitride and silver
fulminate), iodine + phosphorus (forms ethane iodide), magnesium perchlorate (forms ethyl perchlorate), mercuric
nitrate, nitric acid + silver (forms silver fulminate) silver nitrate (forms ethyl nitrate) silver (I) oxide + ammonia or
hydrazine (forms silver nitride and silver fulminate), sodium (evolves hydrogen gas). Sodium Hydrazide + alcohol can
produce an explosion. Alcohols should not be mixed with mercuric nitrate, as explosive mercuric fulminate may be
formed. May form explosive mixture with manganese perchlorate + 2,2-dimethoxypropane. Addition of alcohols to highly
concentrate hydrogen peroxide forms powerful explosives.
Explodes on contact with calcium hypochlorite Vapor may explode if ignited in an enclosed area. Containers may
explode when heated or involved in a fire. (Ethyl alcohol 200 Proof)
MEANS OF EXTINCTION

INCOMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER SUBSTANCES IF SO, WHICH ONES?
Reactive with oxidizing agents, reducing agents, metals, acids, alkalis.
REACTIVITY, AND UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS
Ethanol rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. Ethanol can react vigorously with oxiders. The following oxidants have been demonstrated to undergo
vigorous/explosive reaction with ethanol: barium perchlorate, bromine pentafluoride, calcium hypochlorite, chloryl perchlorate, chromium trioxide, chromyl
chloride, dioxygen difluoride, disulfuryl difluoride, fluorine nitrate, hydrogen peroxide, iodine heptafluoride, nitric acid nitrosyl perchlorate, perchloric acid
permanganic acid, peroxodisulfuric acid, potassium dioxide, potassium perchlorate, potassium permanganate, ruthenium (VIII) oxide, silver perchlorate, silver
peroxide, uranium hexafluoride, uranyl perchlorate.
Ethanol reacts violently/explodes with the following compounds: acetyl bromide (evolves hydrogen bromide) acetyl chloride, aluminum, sesquibromide ethylate,
ammonium hydroxide & silver oxide, chlorate, chromic anhydride, cyanuric acid + water, dichloromethane + sulfuric acid + nitrate (or) nitrite, hydrogen pero
+ sulfuric acid, iodine + methanol + mercuric oxide, manganese perchlorate + 2,2-dimethoxy propane, perchlorates, permanganates + sulfuric acid, potassium
superoxide, potassium tert-butoxide, silver & nitric acid, silver perchlorate, sodium hydrazide, sulfuric acid + sodium dichromate, tetrachlorisilane + water.
Ethanol is also incompatible with platinum, and sodium. No really safe conditions exist under which ethyl alcohol and chlorine oxides can be handled. Reacts
vigorously with acetyl chloride (Ethyl alcohol 200 Proof) Violent reaction with iodine and aluminum + diethyl ether ... (and) titanium (above 113 deg C) (Iodine)
Iodine is incompatible with liquid chlorine, acetaldehyde, ammonia, salt + ethanol, ammonium hydroxide, methyl alcohol, antimony, silver azide, lithium,
potassium , sodium, phosphorous, bromine pentafluoride, fluorine, oxygen difluoride, magnesium, finely divided metals, organic solvents, rubber goods,
plastics, zinc, aluminum, alkali metals, sulfur, ammonia solutions, Bromine trifluoride, reducing agents, iron, ethanol + butadiene; ethanol + phosphorous;
ethanol + methanol + HgO; foramide + pyrindine + sulfur trioxide; formamide; halogens or interhalogens; mercuric oxide; metal carbides; oxygen; pyridine;

INGESTION

SKIN CONTACT SKIN ABSORPTION EYE CONTACT
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT
Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, . Slightly hazardous in case of
skin contact (permeator)) Skin: causes skin irritation. t may cause brown staining of the skin. It can be absorbed by the
skin. Eyes: causes eye irritation Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal tract irritation with abdominal pain, nausea,
vomiting, hypermolity, diarrhea. Ingestion may also cause staining of mouth, esophagus, lips, mucous membranes,
metallic taste. It may also affect behavior/central nervous system (central nervous system depression - amnesia,
headache, muscular incoordination, excitation, mild euphoria, slurred speech, delirium, seizure, stupor, somnolence,
muscle weakness, drowsiness, staggering gait, fatigue, changes in mood/personality, excessive talking, dizziness,
ataxia, somnolence, coma/narcosis, hallucinations, distorted perceptions, general anesthetic), peripheral nervous system
(spastic paralysis) vision (diplopia). Moderately toxic and narcotic in high concentrations.
May also affect metabolism (anorexia), blood, liver, respiration (dyspnea), and endocrine system. May affect respiratory
tract, cardiovascular (cardiac arrhythmias, tachycardia, hypotension), and urinary systems. Inhalation: May cause
irritation of the respiratory tract and mucous membranes. Symptoms may include coughing, tightness of the chest,
dyspnea/respiratory distress pulmonary edema. It may behavior/central nervous system (delirium, hallucination,
depression, seizure, dizziness, headache, stupor, somnolence and other symptoms similar to acute ingestion).
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT
Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, sensitizer), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion.
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified A4 (Not classifiable for human or animal.) by ACGIH [Ethyl alcohol 200 Proof].
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for mammalian somatic cells. [Ethyl alcohol 200 Proof]. Mutagenic for bacteria
and/or yeast. [Ethyl alcohol 200 Proof].

The substance may be toxic to blood, kidneys, liver, upper respiratory tract, skin, central nervous system (CNS), thyroid.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. May affect genetic material
(mutagenic) Causes adverse reproductive effects and birth defects (teratogenic) , based on moderate to heavy
consumption. May cause cancer based on animal data. Human: passes through the placenta, excreted in maternal milk.
(Ethyl alcohol 200 Proof)
Skin: May cause reddening of the skin, itching, acne-like eruption of the skin/skin rash, and skin allergies/dermatitis.
Eyes: May cause eye irritation and conjunctivitis. Ingestion: It may cause liver damage and affect the brain and
behavior/central nervous system with symptoms similar that that of acute ingestion. Furthermore, since it contains
iodine, it may cause a reversible reduction in thyroid function (hypothyroidism), nodular goiter, hyperthyroidism,
thyrotoxicosis, metabolic disturbances, and may affect the blood (anemia), urinary system/kidneys (kidney damage,
hematuria, albuminaria, anuria). Other symptoms of chronic iodine poisoning (Iodism) may include fever, rapid
heartbeat, tremor, headache, delirium, stupor, insomnia, salivation, weight loss/loss of appetite, salivation, stomatitis,
parotitis, edema of the glottis, diarrhea, gastric irritation, joint pain and swelling.
Furthermore, chronic ingestion of iodides (in animals) during pregnancy has resulted in fetal deaths, severe goiter and
cretinoid appearance of the newborn. Inhalation: May cause disrupted thyroid activity (see ingestion), and chronic
irritation of the throat, sneezing, nasal discharge, bronchitis, laryngitis, asthma. It may also affect behavior/central
nervous system (see ingestion). Iodine concentrates in the Thyroid during chronic exposure.
