Section 4: First Aid Measures

Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes,
keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
Cold water may be used.
Serious Skin Contact: Not available.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
medical attention if symptoms appear.
Serious Inhalation: Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek
medical attention.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.
Serious Ingestion: Not available.

Section 5: Fire and Explosion Data

Flammability of the Product: Flammable.

Auto-Ignition Temperature: The lowest known value is 399°C (750.2°F) (Isopropyl alcohol).
Flash Points: The lowest known value is CLOSED CUP: 11.667°C (53°F). (TAG). (Isopropyl alcohol)
Flammable Limits: The greatest known range is LOWER: 3.3% UPPER: 19% (Ethyl alcohol 200 Proof)
Products of Combustion: These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2).
Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances: Extremely flammable in presence of open flames and sparks. Highly
flammable in presence of heat. Slightly flammable to flammable in presence of oxidizing materials. Non-flammable in presence
of shocks.
Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances: Risks of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical
impact: Not available. Slightly explosive in presence of open flames and sparks, of acids.
Fire Fighting Media and Instructions: Flammable liquid, soluble or dispersed in water. SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical
powder. LARGE FIRE: Use alcohol foam, water spray or fog.
Special Remarks on Fire Hazards: Containers should be grounded. CAUTION: MAY BURN WITH NEAR INVISIBLE FLAME
Vapor may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. May form explosive mixtures with air. Contact with
Bromine pentafluoride is likely to cause fire or explosion. Ethanol ignites on contact with chromyl chloride. Ethanol ignites on
contact with iodine heptafluoride gas. It ignites than explodes upon contact with nitrosyl perchlorate. Additon of platinum black
catalyst caused ignition. (Ethyl alcohol 200 Proof)
Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards: Ethanol has an explosive reaction with the oxidized coating around potassium
metal. Ethanol ignites and then explodes on contact with acetic anhydride + sodium hydrosulfate (ignites and may explode),
disulfuric acid + nitric acid, phosphorous(III) oxide platinum, potassium-tert-butoxide+ acids. Ethanol forms explosive
products in reaction with the following compound : ammonia + silver nitrate (forms silver nitride and silver fulminate), iodine

p. 2
+ phosphorus (forms ethane iodide), magnesium perchlorate (forms ethyl perchlorate), mercuric nitrate, nitric acid + silver
(forms silver fulminate) silver nitrate (forms ethyl nitrate) silver(I) oxide + ammonia or hydrazine (forms silver nitride and silver
fulminate), sodium (evolves hydrogen gas). Sodium Hydrazide + alcohol can produce an explosion. Alcohols should not be
mixed with mercuric nitrate, as explosive mercuric fulminate may be formed. May form explosive mixture with manganese
perchlorate + 2,2-dimethoxypropane. Addition of alcohols to highly concentrate hydrogen peroxide forms powerful explosives.
Explodes on contact with calcium hypochlorite Vapor may explode if ignited in an enclosed area. Containers may explode
when heated or involved in a fire. (Ethyl alcohol 200 Proof)

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Small Spill: Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal
container.
Large Spill: Flammable liquid. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Stop leak if without risk. Absorb with
DRY earth, sand or other non-combustible material. Do not touch spilled material. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or
confined areas; dike if needed. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on
the MSDS and with local authorities.

Section 7: Handling and Storage

Precautions: Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not
ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear
suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis.
Storage: Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly
closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).

Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of
vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-
station location.
Personal Protection: Safety glasses. Lab coat. Vapor respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or
equivalent. Gloves (impervious).
Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill: Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained
breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient;
consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.
