Emergency Overview: WARNING - Highly flammable. Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Potential Health Effects: Eyes: May cause irritation. Skin: May cause irritation to skin. Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Inhalation: May cause irritation to respiratory tract.
Principal Hazardous Components: Ethyl Alcohol (CAS # 64-17-5) 85.5%; Denaturant: Isopropyl Alcohol (CAS # 67-63-0) 5.0%; Denaturant: Methyl Alcohol (CAS # ) 4.5% TLV units: Ethyl alcohol: ACGIH-TLV 1000 ppm (TWA) PEL units: Ethyl alcohol: OSHA-PEL 1000 ppm (TWA)
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Eyes - In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Skin - After contact with skin, take off immediately all contaminated clothing, and wash immediately with plenty of water. Ingestion - If swallowed, do not induce vomiting: seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. Inhalation - In case of accident by inhalation: remove casualty to fresh air and keep at rest.
Flash Point (Method Used): 12.8 °C (CC) (Ethanol) NFPA Rating: Health: 2 Fire: 3 Reactivity: 0 Extinguisher Media: Use dry chemical, CO2 or appropriate foam. Flammable Limits in Air % by Volume: (Ethanol) LEL: 3.3% UEL: 19% Autoignition Temperature: (Ethanol) 363 °C Special Firefighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear full protective equipment and NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapours may travel back to ignition source. Closed Containers exposed to heat may explode. Extremely flammable.
Steps to Take in Case Material Is Released or Spilled: Ventilate area of spill. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Remove all non-essential personnel from area. Clean-up personnel should wear proper protective equipment and clothing. Absorb material with suitable absorbent and containerize for disposal.
Precautions to Take in Handling or Storing: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep away from oxidizing materials and strong acids.
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): None needed under normal conditions of use with adequate ventilation. A NIOSH/MSHA chemical cartridge respirator should be worn if PEL or TLV is exceeded. Ventilation: Local Exhaust: Yes Mechanical(General): Yes Special: No Other: No Protective Gloves: Natural rubber, Neoprene, PVC or equivalent. Eye Protection: Splash proof chemical safety goggles should be worn. Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Lab coat, apron, eye wash, safety shower.
