SECTION II: COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
SYNONYMS: Wash
CHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION: Aqueous solution Tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane/Hydrochloric Acid, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid,
Sodium chloride, 50% Ethyl Alcohol.
HAZARDOUS COMPONENT: Ethyl Alcohol.
MF: CH3-CH2-OH
CAS-NO.: 64-17-5
RTECS NO.: Not known.
WARNING: Flammable. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame, and all other ignition sources. Vapor may form flammable mixtures with air. Keep
container closed whenever possible. Use with adequate ventilation. EXCESSIVE EXPOSURES MAY BE HARMFUL OR FATAL. MAY DEPRESS
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO BRAIN OR LIVER. May irritate body tissues. Avoid breathing vapors. Do not get in
eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
HEALTH HAZARD DATA: INHALATION: Exposure over 1000 ppm may cause headache, drowsiness and lassitude, loss of appetite, inability to
concentrate and irritation of the throat. No evidence of teratogenicity(birth defects) was noted following inhalation exposure by pregnant rats of airborne
vapor concentrations of up to 16,000 ppm for 7 hours on days 1 through 19 of gestation. In the same study, pregnant rats exposed to 20,000 ppm showed
severe narcosis; offspring of these rats did not shoe clear evidence of increased incidence of abnormalities.
SWALLOWING: Effects of ethyl alcohol ingestion depend on the amount and rate of consumption. Short term overexposure can cause drunkenness,
depression of the central nervous system, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, liver damage, and death. Long term exposure can also cause loss of appetite,
weight loss, nervousness, memory loss, and mental retardation. The Internal Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has reported a relationship
between drinking alcoholic beverages and cancer of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, and liver. Ingestion of alcoholic beverages by pregnant
women is associated with “fetal alcohol syndrome� in offspring.
EYE CONTACT: Ethyl alcohol, either as a liquid or vapor, may cause eye irritation.
SKIN CONTACT: Ethyl alcohol may cause irritation and defatting of skin upon prolonged contact.
SECTION III: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Flammable liquid.
SECTION IV: FIRST AID MEASURES
FOR OVER EXPOSURE:
IN CASE OF EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of cool water for at least 15 minutes. Do not permit victim to rub eyes. Get medical
attention immediately.
IN CASE ODF SKIN CONTACT: Immediately flush affected area with plenty of water while removing contaminated clothing before reuse.
IF INHALED: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
IF SWALLOWED: If victim is conscious and able to swallow, have victim drink water to dilute. Never give anything by mouth if victim is unconscious
or having convulsions. Induce vomiting only if advised by physician or Poison Control Center. Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately.
SECTION V: FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use dry chemical, “alcohol resistant� foam, or carbon dioxide; water may be ineffective, but water applied as a spray can
absorb some of the fire’s heat and should be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the
vapors and to protect personnel attempting to stop a leak. Water spray must be used to flush spills away from exposures and to dilute spills to
nonflammable mixtures..
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Firefighters should wear full firefighting turn out gear(full bunker gear). They should use self-contained
breathing apparatus operating in the positive pressure mode and equipped with full eye protection and full face piece when there is a possibility of
exposure to smoke, fumes or hazardous decomposition products.
USUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Ethanol vapors are heavier than air and may travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and
flashback.
SECTION VI: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical safety goggles, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves.
CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES: Wear appropriate respiratory protection and protective clothing as described in PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES above.
Turn off or remove all ignition sources. Contained spilled material. Transfer to secure containers. Where necessary, collect using absorbent media. In
the event of an uncontrolled release of this material, the user should determine if the release is reportable under the applicable laws and regulations.
SECTION VII: HANDLING, STORAGE AND USAGE:
STORAGE: Protect container against physical damage. Detached or outside storage is preferred. Inside storage should be in a NFPA approved
flammable liquids storage room or cabinet. All ignition sources should be eliminated. Smoking should be prohibited in storage areas. Electrical
installations should be in accordance with Article 501 of the National Electrical Code. NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, should be
followed for all storage and handling. Frequent careful leakage inspection should be done. Automatic sprinkler system should be provided. Isolate from
oxidizers, chemicals capable of spontaneous heating, materials reacting with air or moisture to liberate heat, ignition sources and explosives. Consult
local fire codes for additional storage information.
HANDLING: When containers are being transferred, the metallic container must be bonded to the receiving container and grounded to avoid static
discharges. Never use pressure to empty. Replace closure securely after opening. Keep packaged material out of sun or away from heat. Remove
closure carefully; internal pressure may be present. Keep closure up to prevent leakage. Containers hazardous when emptied. Since emptied
containers retain residual product(vapor or liquid), all precautions described on this MSDS must be observed.
USAGE: For industrial use only. Not for household use. Not intended or permitted for drinking beverage purposes.
SECTION VIII: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS: PEL (OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit): No OSHA PEL for this product as a whole.
TLV (AGCIH Threshold Limit Value): No ACGIH TLV for this product as a whole.
PERSONAL PROTECTION: Control Measures: Engineering controls should be used whenever feasible to maintain concentrations below acceptable
exposure criteria, including but not limited to enclosures, local ventilation and dilution ventilation. Respiratory Protection: Where engineering controls
are not feasible or sufficient to achieve full conformance with acceptable criteria, use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection equipment.
Respirators should be selected based on the form and concentration of contaminant in the air in accordance with OSHA ( 29 CFR 1910.134). Protective
Clothing: Wear gloves and protective clothing which are impervious to this product for the duration of anticipated exposure if there is potential for skin
contact. Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses meeting the specifications of ANSI Standard 287.1 where no contact with the eye is anticipated. Chemical
safety goggles meeting the specifications of ANSI Standard 287.1 should be worn whenever there is a possibility of splashing or other contact with eyes.
