Identification |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless liquid. Flash Point: 64 deg
F.
Warning! Flammable
liquid and vapor. Causes respiratory tract irritation. Breathing vapors
may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Causes eye irritation. Aspiration hazard if
swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage. Prolonged or repeated contact
causes defatting of the skin with irritation, dryness, and cracking. May cause
central nervous system depression.
Target Organs: Central
nervous system, respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health
Effects
Eye: Produces irritation,
characterized by a burning sensation, redness, tearing, inflammation, and
possible corneal injury. May cause transient corneal injury. In the eyes of a
rabbit, 0.1 ml of 70% isopropyl alcohol caused conjunctivitis, iritis, and
corneal opacity.
Skin: May cause irritation with pain and
stinging, especially if the skin is abraded. Isopropanol has a low potential to
cause allergic skin reactions; however, rare cases of allergic contact
dermatitis have been reported. May be absorbed through intact skin. Dermal
absorption has been considered toxicologically insignificant. The cases of deep
coma associated with skin contact are thought to be a consequence of gross
isopropanol vapor inhalation in rooms with inadequate ventilation, rather than
being attributable to percutaneous absorption of isopropanol per se.
Ingestion: Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea,
vomiting and diarrhea. May cause kidney damage. May cause central nervous system
depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness,
drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness,
coma and possible death due to respiratory failure. Aspiration of material into
the lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal. The probable oral
lethal dose in humans is 240 ml (2696 mg/kg), but ingestion of only 20 ml (224
mg/kg) has caused poisoning.
Inhalation: Inhalation of high
concentrations may cause central nervous system effects characterized by nausea,
headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. May cause narcotic effects in
high concentration. Causes upper respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of
vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and dermatitis.
|
Section 4 - First Aid
Measures |
Eyes: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes
with plenty of water for a t least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin: In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops
and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Potential for aspiration if swallowed. Get medical aid immediately. Do not
induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs naturally, have
victim lean forward.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to
fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to
Physician: Urine acetone test may be helpful in diagnosis. Hemodialysis
should be considered in severe intoxication. Treat symptomatically and
supportively.
|
Section 5 - Fire
Fighting Measures |
General
Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus
in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective
gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Use water spray to keep
fire-exposed containers cool. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors are heavier
than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can
spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media: Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use
straight streams of water. For large fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide,
alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray. For small fires, use carbon dioxide, dry
chemical, dry sand, or alcohol-resistant foam. Cool containers with flooding
quantities of water until well after fire is out.

Autoignition Temperature: 399 deg C ( 750.20 deg
F)

|
Section 6 -
Accidental Release Measures |
General
Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in
Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material
(e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Use water
spray to dilute spill to a non-flammable mixture. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all sources of
ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing foam
may be used to reduce vapors.
|
Section 7 - Handling
and Storage |
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when
transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product
residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Take precautionary
measures against static discharges. Keep container tightly closed. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers
to heat, sparks or open flames. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid
breathing vapor or mist.
Storage: Keep away from heat,
sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Flammables-area.
|
Section 8 - Exposure
Controls, Personal Protection |
Engineering
Controls: Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Facilities storing
or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a
safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep
airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
