4. FIRST AID
Eyes: If irritation or redness develops, move victim away from exposure and into fresh air. Flush
eyes with clean water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Skin: Remove contaminated shoes and clothing and cleanse affected area(s) thoroughly by washing
with mild soap and water. If irritation or redness develops, seek medical attention.
Inhalation: If respiratory symptoms or other symptoms of exposure develop, move victim away from
source of exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If victim is not
breathing, clear airway and immediately begin artificial respiration. If breathing difficulties develop,
oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek emergency medical attention. If victim is drowsy or unconscious and
vomiting, place on left side with head down and do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Do not induce vomiting unless told to by physician or poison center.
Medical Conditions: None known.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use material that is appropriate for the surrounding fire.
Specific Hazards: None known.
Hazardous Combustion Products: None anticipated.
Effective Date: May 4, 2012

Special Firefighting Procedures: For fires beyond the initial stage, emergency responders in the
immediate hazard area should wear bunker gear. When the potential chemical hazard is unknown, in
enclosed or confined spaces, or when explicitly required by DOT, a self-contained breathing
apparatus should be worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions
warrant (see Section 8). Isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Cool
equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done with minimal risk.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: None anticipated
Environmental Precautions: Stop spill/release if it can be done with minimal risk. Prevent spilled
material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized treatment drainage systems, and
natural waterways.
Methods for Containment and Clean-Up: Immediate cleanup of any spill is recommended. Dike
far ahead of spill for later recovery or disposal. Absorb spill with inert material such as sand, earth or
other non-combustible material, and place in suitable container for disposal. If spilled on water
remove with appropriate methods (e.g., skimming, booms or absorbents). In case of soil
contamination, remove contaminated soil for remediation or disposal, in accordance with local
regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for Safe Handling: Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks or pits without
following proper entry procedures such as ASTM D-4276 and 29CFR 1910.146. Do not wear
contaminated clothing or shoes. Keep contaminated clothing away from sources of ignition such as
sparks or open flames. Use good personal hygiene practice.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Keep container(s) tightly closed. Use and store this material in cool,
dry, well-ventilated areas. Store only in approved containers. Keep away from any incompatible
material (see Section 10). Protect container(s) against physical damage.

Engineering Controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne
concentrations below the established exposure limits, additional ventilation or exhaust systems may
be required.
Specific Personal Protective Equipment
Eye/Face Protection: While contact with this material is no expected to cause irritation, the use of
approved eye protection to safeguard against potential eye contact is considered good practice.
Effective Date: May 4, 2012

Skin: Not required based on the hazards of the material. However, it is considered good practice to
wear gloves when handling chemicals.
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection is not usually required.
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2
requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. Air-
purifying respirators provide limited protection and cannot be used in atmospheres that exceed the
maximum use concentration as directed by regulation or the manufacturer’s instructions, in oxygen
deficient (less than 19.5% oxygen) situations or under conditions that are immediately dangerous to
life and health (IDLH).
Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is potential for uncontrolled release, exposure
levels are unknown, or any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.
Other Protective Equipment: A source of clean water should be available in the work area for
flushing eyes and skin. Impervious clothing should be worn as needed.
Suggestions provided in this section for exposure control and specific types of protective
equipment are based on readily available information. Users should consult with the specific
manufacturer to confirm the performance of their protective equipment. Specific situations
may require consultation with industrial hygiene, safety, or engineering professionals.

Note: Methanol assigned to classification based on human experience and not animal data.
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes mild irritation.
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes mild irritation.
Signs and Symptoms: None
Skin Sensitization: None reported
Respiratory Sensitization: None reported
Germ Cell Mutagenicity: There is insufficient information available to conclude that methanol, a
minor component, is mutagenic.
Carcinogenicity: Methanol, a minor component, did not demonstrate carcinogenic effects in rats
and mice treated via whole body inhalation at concentrations > 1.3 mg/l in air. There is
insufficient information available to conclude that methanol is carcinogenic. It is not listed by
NTP, IARC or OSHA.
Reproductive Toxicity: Methanol, a minor component, has produced fetotoxicity in rats and
teratogenicity in mice exposed by inhalation to high concentrations of methanol vapors.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Single Exposure): Methanol, a minor component, ingestion
causes damage to the optic nerve causing blindness.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Repeated Exposure): There is insufficient information
available to conclude that methanol, a minor component, causes target organ effects from
repeated exposure. Although ethylene glycol butyl ether is not classified as for target organ
toxicity, animal data indicates effects on the blood (hemolysis) with secondary effects on the liver
and kidney. Human red blood have been shown to be significantly less sensitive to hemolysis
than those of rodents and rabbits.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
The generator of a waste is always responsible for making proper hazardous waste determinations
and needs to consider state and local requirements in addition to federal regulations.
Recycle wherever possible. Large volumes may be suitable for re-distillation or, if contaminated,
incinerated. Can be disposed of in a sewage treatment facility.
This material, if discarded as produced would not be a federally regulated RCRA hazardous waste.
Use which results in chemical or physical change of this material could subject it to additional
regulation as a hazardous waste.
