SECTION III ?Hazard Identification
Flammable. Highly Flammable (EU). Toxic. Methanol is a human poison by ingestion. Exposure to Methanol may result in severe
skin and eye irritation, blindness and narcosis. It can be absorbed through the skin. Target Organs: Eyes. Kidneys.
SECTION IV ?First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with copious amounts of water for a minimum of 15 minutes and transport to a medical facility.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give victim large quantities of liquid and transport to a medical facility.
Skin Contact: Wash affected areas with copious amounts of water and transport to a medical facility.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is disturbed, give artificial respiration while transporting to a medical facility.
SECTION V- Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: 52癋 (11癈) Flammable Limits
Method Used: Closed Cup LEL: 6.0% UEL: 36.5%
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear SCBA and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Flashback along vapor trail may occur.
SECTION VI- Accidental Release Measures
Evacuate area. Remove all sources of ignition. Use inert absorbent to pick up all spilled material. Transfer to a suitable waste
container with non-sparking tools. Wash spill site with appropriate cleaning agent to removal residual traces of spilled material.
