MSDS Code: 097870 Page 3/8 Status: Final Date of Issue: 10-Jun-2005 Inhalation (Breathing): If respiratory symptoms or other symptoms of exposure develop, move victim away from source of exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek immediate 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 (Swallowing): If swallowed, seek emergency medical attention. If victim is drowsy or unconscious and vomiting, place on the left side with the head down and do not give anything by mouth. If victim is conscious and alert and ingestion occured within the last hour,vomiting should be induced for ingestions of several swallows(2 ounces in an adult)preferably under direction from a physician or poison center. If possible, do not leave victim unattended and observe closely for adequacy of breathing. Notes to Physician: This material contains methanol. Methanol is metabolized to formaldehyde and formic acid and the onset of metabolic acidosis,visual disturbances, and other symptoms may be delayed from 6 to 30 hours following ingestion. Ethanol competes for the same metabolic pathway and has been used as an antidote. Hemodialysis effectively removes methanol and should be used in serious cases to enhance the elimination of methanol. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Flammable Properties: Flash Point: 52°F/12°C (TCC, ASTM D-56) OSHA Flammability Class: Flammable Liquid LEL%: 7.3 UEL%: 36.0 Autoignition Temperature: 867°F/464°C Unusual Fire&Explosion Hazards: This material is flammable and can be ignited by heat, sparks,flames, or other sources of ignition (e.g., static electricity, pilot lights, or mechanical/electrical equipment, and electronic devices such as cell phones, computers, calculators, and pagers which have not been certified as intrinsically safe).Vapors may travel considerable distances to a source of ignition where they can ignite,flash back, or explode. May create vapor/air explosion hazard indoors, in confined spaces, outdoors, or in sewers. If container is not properly cooled, it can rupture in the heat of a fire.Vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate in low areas. Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam is recommended. Water spray is recommended to cool or protect exposed materials or structures. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in confined spaces. Water may be ineffective for extinguishment, unless used under favorable conditions by experienced fire fighters. Fire Fighting Instructions: For fires beyond the incipient 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, keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done with minimal risk. Move undamaged containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done with minimal risk. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors and to protect personnel. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done with minimal risk. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water used for cooling purposes.
