3. Composition/Information on Ingredients

Name: Isobutyl Alcohol

CAS Number: 78-83-1

Concentration Wt.% : 98.5%







4. First Aid Measures

Specific procedures for each route of exposure:



                           Dairen Chemical Corporation Ta-Fa Factory                                1/5

  General advice: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.



  Inhalation: Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.



              If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.



  Skin contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while



                removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or



                persists.

  Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, Lifting lower and

                upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.



  Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by



            mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.

Major symptoms and reactions: May cause central nervous system depression.

Protection for people giving first aid: Wear adequate personal protective equipment.

Advice to doctors: No Data Available







5. Fire Fighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, Alcohol-resistant foam, Chemical dry powder,

                                Carbon dioxide (CO2).

  Possible hazard during extinction: Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor is heavier than air and may

                                       spread long distances. Distant ignition and flashback are possible.

Special extinction procedure: Cool containers / tanks with spray water.

Special protection for firefighters: Wear chemical protective equipment and self-contained breathing

                                    apparatus.







6. Accidental Release

Personal precaution: Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. Wear adequate personal

                      protective equipment.

Environmental precaution: Extinguish or remove all ignition sources. Ventilate area. Prevent material

                             from entering sewers or confined spaces.



Methods for cleaning up: Stop or reduce leak if safe to do so. Contain spill with earth, sand, or



                            similar stable, noncombustible material. Small spills: Soak up with



                            absorbent material which does not react with spilled chemical. Put



                            material in suitable, covered, labeled containers. Flush area with water.



                            Large spills: Contact fire and emergency services and supplier for advice.







7. Handling and Storage

Handling: Ground drums and bond transfers (Grounding clips must contact bare metal). Keep material

          away from sparks, flames, and other ignition sources. Post "NO SMOKING" signs in area of

          use. Have emergency equipment (for fire, spills, leak, etc.) readily available.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. Store away from heat, ignition

         sources and incompatible materials. Protect from damage. Inspect periodically for deficiencies

         such as damage or leaks. Have appropriate fire extinguishers available in and near the



         storage area.
