4. First Aid Measures
General advice: Immediately remove contaminated clothing. If there is danger of loss of consciousness, place patient in
recovery position and transport accordingly. Apply artificial respiration if necessary. If difficulties occur after
vapor/aerosol has been inhaled: fresh air, summon physician.
On skin contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
On contact with eyes: Wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open.
On ingestion: Immediately rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water, summon physician.
Note to physician: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Water, dry extinguishing media, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide (CO2).
Special protective equipment: Wear breathing equipment operated independently of ambient air, and protective
firefighting suit.
Further information: Collect separately contaminated extinguishing water, do not allow to reach sewerage or effluent
systems. Contaminated extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
If product is involved in fire: Foam should be applied in large quantities as it is broken down to some extent by the
product. Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions: The usual precautions for the handling of chemicals must be observed.
Environmental precautions: Do not let product enter drains.
Methods for cleaning up: Small amounts: Contain with absorbent material and dispose. Large spillages should be
dammed-off and pumped into containers; soak up remainder with absorbent material and dispose of in accordance with
local regulations.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling: Protection against fire and explosion: Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas.
Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy.
Electrical equipment must be suitable for Temperature Class T 3 (VDE0165) (Germany).
Storage: Prevent contact with air/oxygen (formation of peroxide). Keep tightly closed in a dry and cool place.

11. Toxicological Information
Chronic Effects of Overexposure: Prolonged overexposure to methanol may cause visual impairment, nervous system,
liver, and kidney damage. Ethanol and methanol have been found to cause adverse reproductive effects in laboratory
animals.
Carcinogen or Suspected Carcinogen: None of the components are listed as a carcinogen or suspected carcinogen.
Medical Conditions Aggravated By Exposure: Individuals with pre-existing liver or kidney disorders may be at
increased risk from exposure.
Acute Exposure Effects:
Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors can cause respiratory irritation, nausea, headaches, dizziness, and other signs of narcosis.
Prolonged overexposure may result in transient or permanent blindness and liver or kidney damage.
Ingestion: Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation and nervous system depression with symptoms of headaches,
nausea, and narcosis. Severe abdominal, back, and leg pain may occur along with transient or permanent blindness, liver
and kidney damage. May be fatal if large volume is ingested.
Skin Contact: Contact may cause irritation. Liquid may be absorbed through the skin and can cause effects similar to
ingestion. Treat at once.
Eye Contact: May cause moderate to severe irritation with possible damage. Absorption may cause optic nerve damage
resulting in transient or permanent blindness.
