DANGER
POISON. Flammable. Vapor Harmful. May be Fatal or Cause Blindness if Swallowed.
Contents Under Pressure.
As defined by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, this product is hazardous.
Potential Health Effects:
May cause mild irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, and redness.
EYE:
May cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin.
SKIN:
Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying and cracking of skin, and skin
burns. Passage of this material into the body through the skin is possible, and
may add to toxic effects from breathing or swallowing.
Breathing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to
INHALATION:
cause harmful effects. Breathing large amounts may be harmful, and may cause
irritation of airways, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting.
Swallowing this material may be harmful. Symptoms may include nausea,
INGESTION:
vomiting, dizziness, leg cramps, pain in the abdomen or lower back, blurred vision,
shortness of breath, visual impairment (including blindness), coma, and death.
Overexposure to this material may cause liver abnormalities, central nervous
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
system damage, and visual impairment.
Liver, kidneys, pancreas, heart, lungs, and brain
TARGET ORGANS:
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Preexisting disorders of the following organs: Skin, lung, liver,

Section 3: Composition/Information on Ingredients
COMPONENT CAS NUMBER % by Wt.
Methanol 67-56-1 85 - 95
Water 7732-18-5 3-8
Propylene glycol 57-55-6 <1
Carbon dioxide 124-38-9 5 - 10
Section 4: First Aid Measures
Immediately flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Call a physician if irritation persists.
Eye Contact:
Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected area with soap and water. Call a physician
Skin Contact:
if irritation persists. Wash contaminated clothing prior to re-use.
Remove person to fresh air. Keep person calm. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
Inhalation:
breathing is difficult give oxygen. Call a physician.
Seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth;
Ingestion:
place individual on the left side with the head down. Contact a physician, medical facility, or
poison control center for advice about whether to induce vomiting. If possible, do not leave
individual unattended.
Methanol is metabolized to formic acid and formaldehyde. These metabolites can cause
Note to Physicians:
metabolic acidosis, visual disturbances and blindness. Since metabolism is required for these
toxic symptoms, their onset may be delayed from 6 to 30 hours following ingestion. Ethanol
competes for the same metabolic pathway and has been used to prevent methanol
metabolism. Ethanol administration is indicated in symptomatic patients or at blood methanol
concentrations above 20 ug/dl. Methanol is effectively removed by hemodialysis. Fomepizole
(4-methylpyrazole) is an effective antagonist of alcohol dehydrogenase, and may be used as
an antidote in the treatment of methanol poisoning.
Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures
Flammable Properties: This product is flammable in accordance with aerosol flammability definitions
(16 CFR 1500.3(c)(6) ).
Flash Point: 54 ?(TCC)
F Upper Explosive Limit: 36
Autoignition Temperature: 725 ?br>
F Lower Explo sive Limit: 7.3
Dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide (CO2)
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
Products of Combustion:
Firefighters should wear self-contained, NIOSH-approved breathing apparatus for
Protection of Fire-Fighters:
protection against suffocation and possible toxic decomposition products. Proper eye
and skin protection should be provided. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool and to knock down vapors which may result from product
decomposition.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Use personal protection recommended in Section 8.
Personal Precautions:
Take precautions to prevent contamination of ground and surface waters. Do not flush
Environmental Precautions:
into sewers or storm drains. If run-off occurs, notify the proper authorities as required,
that a spill has occurred.
Eliminate all ignition sources. Dike area to contain spill. Ventilate the area
Methods for Containment & Clean-up:
with fresh air. If in confined space or limited air circulation area, clean-up
workers should wear appropriate respiratory protection. Recover or absorb
spilled material using an absorbent designed for chemical spills. Place used
absorbents into proper waste containers.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard
Handling Procedures:
precautions given in the data sheet must be observed. Static ignition hazard can result from
handling and use.
Store in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight. Aerosol cans must be maintained below 120 F
Storage Procedures:
to prevent cans from rupturing.

preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at the source, preventing
dispersion into the general work area. Use mechanical means if necessary to maintain
vapor levels below the exposure guidelines. If working in a confined space, follow
applicable OSHA regulations.

Respiratory Protection:
controls are not feasible or if exposure exceeds the applicable exposure limits, use a
NIOSH-approved cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge. Use a self-contained
breathing apparatus in confined spaces and for emergencies.
