3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Clear, Colorless liquid.

IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: CAUTION! May cause eye and skin irritation.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

EYES: Severe irritation and discomfort. Reversible and/or irreversible corneal damage may occure.

SKIN: No significant effects beyond minor irritation are expected.

INGESTION: Gastrointestinal tract irritation and/or discomfort is possible.

INHALATION: Respiratory tract irritation and/or headaches possible. Significant systemic toxic effects are likely following repeated exposure to high concentrations.

ROUTES OF ENTRY: Absorption, Inhalation, Ingestion

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

SKIN: Wash exposed area with mild soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Danger from aspirating into lungs exceeds short term toxic effects. Get immediate medical help.

INHALATION: Remove victim from area of exposure. If unconscious, give oxygen. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Get immediate medical attention.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FLASHPOINT AND METHOD: ~(53°F)ASTM D56

FLAMMABLE LIMITS: 2 to 12

AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not Available

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide.

EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Vapor accumulations may flash and/or explode if ignited. Keep ignition sources, open flames, ect., away from thse fumes.

FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Proper respiratory equipment to protect against the hazardous effects of combustion products is recommended. Water in a straight hose stream may cause fire to spread and should be used as a cooling medium only.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

SMALL SPILL:
Extinguish all ignition sources and ventilate area. Evacuate all non-essential personnel. Blanket spill with alcohol resistant foam to limit evaporation. Dike area to contain spill and clean up by absorbing on inert absorbent or by other means. Liquid may be flammable even when mixed with water unless heavily diluted (>5:1). Do not flush into sewers or natural waterways.

LARGE SPILL:
Contain material as described above and call the local fire or police department for immediate emergency assistance.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING:
Use appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Handle in a well ventilated area.

STORAGE:
Store unopened containers under cool, dry and ventilated conditions. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

EXPOSURE GUIDELINES:

OSHA HAZARDOUS COMPONENTS (29 CFR 1910.1200)

 

		EXPOSURE LIMITS
		OSHA PEL		ACGIH TLV		Supplier OEL
		ppm	mg/m3	ppm	mg/m3	ppm	mg/m3
2-Propanol	TWA	400	980	400	983	NL	NL
	STEL	500	1225	500	1230	NL	NL

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below the established exposure guidelines, additional ventilation or exhaust systems may be required. Where explosive mixtures may be present, electrical systems safe for such locations must be used.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

EYES AND FACE: Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles when handling this material.

SKIN: To prevent any contact, wear impervious protective clothing such as neoprene or butyl rubber gloves, apron, boots or whole bodysuit, as appropriate.

RESPIRATORY: Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators when vapors or mist concentrations exceed permissible exposure limits.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Chemical resistant boots, apron, etc. as necessary to prevent contamination of clothing and skin contact.
