    MUCOUS MEMBRANES. TOXIC EFFECTS EXERTED UPON NERVOUS SYSTEM,
    PARTICULARLY OPTIC NERVE. ONCE ABSORBED INTO BODY, IT IS VERY
    SLOWLY ELIMINATED. SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE  MAY INCLUDE HEADACHE,
    DROWSINESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING, BLURRED VISION, BLINDNESS, COMA &
    DEATH. A PERSON MAY GET BETTER BUT THEN WORSE AGAIN UP TO 30 HOURS

    INTOXICATE AND CAUSE BLINDNESS. USUAL FATAL DOSE: 100-125
    MILLILITERS. SKIN CONTACT: METHYL ALCOHOL IS A DEFATTING AGENT AND
    MAY CAUSE SKIN TO BECOME DRY AND CRACKED. SKIN ABSORPTION CAN O
    CCUR; SYMPTOMS (EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE)
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZARDS: MAY PARALLEL INHALATION
    EXPOSURE. EYE CONTACT: IRRITANT. CONTINUED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE EYE
    LESIONS. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: MARKED IMPAIRMENT OF VISION AND
    ENLARGEMENT OF THE LIVER HAS BEEN R EPORTED. REPEATED OR PROLONGED
    EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION.

    BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THE SUBSTANCE.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL
    RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. CALL A
    PHYSICIAN. INGEST: INDUCE VOMITING IMMEDIATELY AS DIRECTED BY
    MEDICAL PERSONNE L. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS
    PERSON. SKIN CONTACT: REMOVE ANY CONTAMINATED CLOTHING.WASH SKIN
    WITH SOAP OR MILD DETERGENT AND WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. GET
    MEDICAL ATTENTION  IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS OR PERSISTS. EYE CONTACT:
    IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
    MINUTES, LIFTING LOWER AND UPPER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:=12.C, 53.6F
Autoignition Temp:=464.C, 867.2F
Lower Limits:7.3%
Upper Limits:36%
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL, ALCOHOL FOAM OR CARBON
    DIOXIDE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT . USE WATER SPRAY TO BLANKET FIRE, COOL FIRE EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS AND TO FLUSH NON-IGNITED SPILLS OR VAPORS AWAY FROM
    FIRE. VAPORS CAN FLOW AL ONG SURFACES TO DISTANT IGNITION SOURCE
    AND FLASH BACK.

    MIXTURES ARE EXPLOSIVE WITHIN FLAMMABLE LIMITS NOTED ABOVE.
    MODERATE EXPLOSION HAZARD AND DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD WHEN EXPOSED TO
    HEAT, SPARKS OR FLAMES. SENSITIV E TO STATIC DISCHARGE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:VENT AREA OF LEAK/SPILL. REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF
    IGNIT. WEAR APPROP PERSONAL PROT EQUIP AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 8,
    EXPOS CTLS/PERSONAL PROT. ISOLATE HAZ AREA. KEEP UNNEC & UNPROT
    PERS FROM ENTERING. CNT N & RECOVER LIQ WHEN POSS. USE NON-SPKG
    TOOLS & EQUIP. COLLECT LIQ IN APPROP CNTNR OR ABSORB W/INERT MATL
    (EG, VERMICULITE, DRY SAND, EARTH) & PLACE IN CHEM WASTE CNTNR. DO
    NOT USE COMBUST (SUPDAT)

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:PROTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE. STORE
    IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED LOCATION, AWAY FROM ANY AREA WHERE
    THE FIRE HAZARD MAY BE ACUTE. OUTSIDE OR DETACHED STORAGE IS
    PREFERRED. SEPARATE FROM INCOMPAT IBLES.
Other Precautions:CNTNRS SHOULD BE BONDED & GROUNDED FOR TRANSFERS TO
    AVOID STATIC SPARKS. STORAGE & USE AREAS SHOULD BE NO SMOKING
    AREAS. USE NON-SPARKING TYPE TOOLS & EQUIP INCLUDING EXPLOSION
    PROOF VENT. CNTNRS OF T HIS MATL MAY BE HAZ WHEN EMPTY SINCE THEY
    RETAIN PROD RESIDUES (VAP, LIQ); OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS & PR ECS
    LISTED FOR PROD.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:PERSONAL RESPIRATORS (NIOSH APPROVED): IF THE
    EXPOSURE LIMIT IS EXCEEDED, WEAR A SUPPLIED AIR, FULL-FACEPIECE
    RESPIRATOR, AIRLINED HOOD OR FULL-FACEPIECE SELF-CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS.
Ventilation:SYS OF LOC &/OR GEN EXHST IS RECOM TO KEEP EMPLOYEE
    EXPOSURES BELOW AIRBORNE EXPOS LIMS. LOC EXHST VENT IS GENERALLY
    PREF BECAUSE IT CAN CTL EMISSIONS (SUPDAT)
Protective Gloves:RUBBER OR NEOPRENE GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH AND DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI
    DESIGN CRITERIA . ADDITIONAL PROTECTION INCLUDING IMPERVIOUS BOOTS,
    APRON OR COVERALLS AS NEEDED IN AREAS OF UNUSUAL EXPOSURE.
