SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flash Point (Method Used): 80癋 (TOC) NFPA Rating: H-1 F-3 R-0 S-None
Flammable Limits: LEL - 6.0 UEL - 36.5
Extinguishing Media: Small Fires: Use halon replacement, carbon dioxide extinguishers, or alcohol
foam. Large Fires: Extinguish with alcohol foam.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) respirator in positive
pressure mode and chemical protective clothing specifically recommended for Methanol. Use water spray
to cool containers exposed to fire.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Dangerous fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat or
flame. Methanol is extremely flammable and forms explosive mixtures with air. Methanol vapors may
travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back.

SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation (Y) Skin (Y) Ingestion (Y) Eye (Y)
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic): Eye - Mild irritant. Inhalation - Low risk of inhalation, potential
effects include: dizziness, nausea, visual impairment, narcosis, and muscular impairment. Skin - Prolonged
or repeated contact may cause dermatitis, scaling, and possible systemic effects. Ingestion - Toxicity is
relatively low. There is a risk of aspiration of product into the lungs. On ingestion of large quantities,
slight gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, and headache may occur. Small doses may produce irritation
and diarrhea.
Carcinogenicity: NTP (N/D) IARC Monographs (N/D) OSHA Regulated (N/D)
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: See Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic)
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None known.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Eye - Immediately wash with large quantities of room temperature
water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Get medical attention
immediately. Skin - Remove contaminated clothing. Promptly wash affected skin with soap and water for
at least 15 minutes. Systemic effects may be delayed 18 to 72 hours, therefore keep individual under
observation. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Ingestion - DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
Get medical attention immediately. Inhalation - Move the exposed person to fresh air at once and call
emergency medical care. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
humidified oxygen.
SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Small Spill: Remove sources of heat or
ignition. Provide adequate ventilation. Contain leak using absorbent, inert, non-combustible material.
Large Spill: Contain spill. Transfer to secure containers. In the event of an uncontrolled material release,
the user should determine if release is reportable under applicable laws and regulations.
Waste Disposal Method: Dispose of product in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.
Before attempting clean up, refer to other sections of MSDS for hazard warning information.
Precautions to be taken in Handling and Storing: Product is flammable. Keep away from sources of
ignition, combustibles, oxidizing materials and acids. Store in an area equipped with automatic sprinklers
or fire extinguishing system. Empty containers contain product residue, assume emptied containers to have
same hazards as full containers.
Other Precautions: KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN!
SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): Do not use air purifying respirator. Use appropriate NIOSH-
approved supplied or self-contained respirator. Respirators must be selected based on the airborne levels
found in the workplace and must not exceed the working limits of the respirator.
Ventilation: Local: To maintain exposure levels below recommended exposure limits.
Mechanical - In confined spaces
Protective Gloves: Natural rubber or neoprene gloves
Eye Protection: Splash-proof chemical, safety goggles, or appropriate full-face respirator. DO NOT
WEAR CONTACT LENSES WHEN WORKING WITH THIS CHEMICAL.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Wear body-covering work clothes to prevent prolonged
exposure.
Work/Hygiene Practices: Always follow good housekeeping and personal hygiene practices.
