Component name CAS No % ENCS Methanol 67-56-1 14 - 25 Present SECTION 4: First aid measures General advice Immediate medical attention is required In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical advice immediately (show directions for use or safety data sheet if possible) Eye contact Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Call a physician immediately. Skin Contact Wash off immediately with plenty of water. Inhalation Immediate medical attention is required. Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Avoid direct contact with skin. Use barrier to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Page 2/7 Language EN Review Date 08-May-2019 277 Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Drink plenty of water. Note to physicians Treat symptomatically. Self-protection of the first aider Remove all sources of ignition SECTION 5: Firefighting measures Flammability Flammable liquid and vapor. Suitable Extinguishing Media Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Dike fire control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material. Use water spray or fog; do not use straight streams. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media CAUTION: All these products have a very low flash point. Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient Specific hazards arising from the Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air Vapors may travel to source of ignition and chemical flash back Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks) Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers Those substances designated with a "P" may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard Protective equipment and As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH precautions for firefighters (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. SECTION 6: Accidental release measures Personal precautions Remove all sources of ignition, Evacuate personnel to safe areas, Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas, Use personal protective equipment as required. Environmental precautions Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so Prevent product from entering drains Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system Methods for containment Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so, Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading and keep powder dry, Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Methods for cleaning up Dam up. Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers. SECTION 7: Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric motors and static electricity). Keep container tightly closed. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Advice on safe handling Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric motors and static electricity). Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Storage Store in accordance with local regulations. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. SECTION 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Exposure Limits .
