3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Transparent, colorless liquid.
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Vapors and/or aerosols which may be formed at elevated temperatures may be
irritating to eyes and respiratory tract. Causes skin irritation. Harmful if swallowed.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: Avoid contact with eyes; may cause redness, irritation and conjunctivitis.
SKIN: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause irritation.
INGESTION: Ingestion of large amounts may produce abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Swallowing small
amounts is not likely to produce harmful effects.
INHALATION: Prolonged or excessive inhalation may cause respiratory tract irritation.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EYES: Liquid splashed in the eye may cause redness, irritation and conjunctivitis.
SKIN: Prolonged or exposure may cause skin irritation.
INGESTION: For large amounts; abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.
INHALATION: High concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea,
headaches, paralysis and loss of consciousness).
ACUTE TOXICITY: Overexposure may cause dizziness and loss of concentration. At higher levels, CNS
depression and cardiac arrhythmia may result.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Contains Methanol which has been established as a teratogen by inhalation. See
Sec.11 for details.
TARGET ORGAN STATEMENT: Prolonged or repeated overexposure may cause central nervous system,
kidney, liver, and lung damage.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES

ECG Electronics Wash
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Get medical attention, if irritation persists.
SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
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
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: 2.0 to 12.0
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray when fighting fires involving this
material.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Smoke, fumes and oxides of carbon.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance.
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: Contain spill with dike to prevent entry into sewers.
LARGE SPILL: Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in Protective Equipment section.
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Dike area to contain spill. Take precautions as necessary to prevent contamination
of ground and surface waters. Recover spilled material on adsorbent, such as sawdust or vermiculite, and sweep into
closed containers for disposal. After all visible traces, including vapors, have been removed thoroughly wet vacuum
the area. Do not flush to sewer. If area of spill is porous, remove as much contaminated earth, gravel, etc. as
necessary and place in closed containers for disposal.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory and skin/eye
protection should be permitted in area. See Section 8 for details.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well ventilated area. Store in a cool
dry place.
HANDLING: Use with sufficient ventilation to keep employee exposure below recommended limits. Provide
adequate ventilation for storage, handling and use, especially for enclosed or low spaces. Avoid contact of liquid
with eyes and prolonged skin exposure. Do not allow product to contact open flame or electrical heating elements

because dangerous decomposition products may form.
STORAGE: Store away from heat.
STORAGE TEMPERATURE: Contents under pressure. Do not expose to heat or store above (120) F (49) C.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: For normal conditions, wear safety glasses. Where there is reasonable probability of liquid
contact, wear splash-proof goggles.

RESPIRATORY: NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or canister
may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure
limits. Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if
there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances
where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash hands before eating and wash before reuse.
OTHER USE PRECAUTIONS: Emergency shower and eyewash facility should be in close proximity.

ACUTE
DERMAL LD : Slight to very low toxicity.
50
ORAL LD : Practically non-toxic to animals. However, based on reports of human exposure to Methanol, a
50
small amount (usually two or more ounces) can cause mental sluggishness, nausea and vomiting leading to
severe illness, blindness or death if treatment is not received.
INHALATION LC : Slight to very low toxicity.
50
EYE EFFECTS: Mixture is a moderate eye irritant.
SKIN EFFECTS: Based on human exposure reports, prolonged and repeated skin contact with Methanol has
produced toxic effects including vision effects and death.

TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Information for Methanol: In an inhalation developmental toxicity study, rats were
exposed 6hrs./day to 5000 - 20000 ppm vapors. A significant teratogenic response was seen at 20000 ppm.
Fetotoxicity was noted at 10000 ppm, but not at 5000 ppm.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: There is limited information available on the environmental fate and effects of this
material. The primary environmental concern for release is the impact on aquatic and terrestrial species. Due care
should be taken to avoid the accidental release of this material into the environment.
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Invertebrate toxicity: LC50 (30 min) Photobacterium phosphoreum
= 1540 ppm Microtoxicity test.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISPOSAL METHOD: Federal, State, and Local laws governing disposal of materials can differ. Ensure
compliance with proper authorities before disposal.
FOR LARGE SPILLS: Contaminated sawdust, vermiculite, or porous surfaces must be disposed of in a permitted
