EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
WARNING! FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED.
AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. CAUSES IRRITATION TO EYES AND RESPIRATORY
TRACT. MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO SKIN. MAY AFFECT LIVER AND KIDNEYS.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation:
Butyl alcohols have produced few cases of poisoning in industry because of their low
volatility. Causes irritation to upper respiratory tract. Difficult breathing, coughing,
headache, dizziness, and drowsiness may occur. May cause narcosis. May be absorbed
into the bloodstream with symptoms similar to ingestion.

Ingestion:
May produce abdominal pain, vomiting, dullness, headache, muscle weakness,
giddiness, ataxia, confusion, delirium, diarrhea, coma, and death from respiratory
failure. May cause liver, kidney, pulmonary and cardiac damage. Estimated mean
lethal dose is 3 - 7 ounces.
Skin Contact:
May cause irritation with redness and pain.
Eye Contact:
May cause irritation with blurred vision. Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
Chronic Exposure:
Chronic exposure may cause skin, kidney and liver effects.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders, impaired liver or kidney or respiratory
function, or central or peripheral nervous system disorders may be more susceptible
to the effects of the substance.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician if
irritation develops.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and
upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Explosion:
Above flash point, vapor-air mixtures are explosive within flammable limits noted
above. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source and flash back.
Sensitive to static discharge.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed
containers cool.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate
personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid
when possible. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate
container or absorb with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and
place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw
dust. Do not flush to sewer! If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to
disperse the vapors, to protect personnel attempting to stop leak, and to flush spills
away from exposures.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated location, away
from any area where the fire hazard may be acute. Outside or detached storage is
preferred. Separate from incompatibles. Containers should be bonded and grounded
for transfers to avoid static sparks. Storage and use areas should be No Smoking
areas. Use non-sparking type tools and equipment, including explosion proof
ventilation. Product may solidify at room temperature. Containers of this material
may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid);
observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally
preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source,
preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH
document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent
edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a full
facepiece respirator with organic vapor cartridge may be worn up to 50 times the
exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate
regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies or
instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-
pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect
workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.

Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or
coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible.
Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
