Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance: colorless liquid. Flash Point: 12 deg C.
Warning! Flammable liquid and vapor. Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause central nervous system depression. May cause cancer based on animal studies. May form explosive peroxides. May cause kidney damage. May cause reproductive and fetal effects.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Produces irritation, characterized by a burning sensation, redness, tearing, inflammation, and possible corneal injury.
Skin: May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause defatting of the skin and dermatitis. May cause irritation with pain and stinging, especially if the skin is abraded.
Ingestion: May cause 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.
Inhalation: Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. Inhalation of vapor may cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic: Possible cancer hazard based on tests with laboratory animals. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and dermatitis. May cause kidney injury. May cause allergic skin reaction in some individuals.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures


Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Notes to Physician: 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 can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. This chemical poses an explosion hazard. May form explosive peroxides. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. Water may be ineffective. For large fires, use water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Do NOT use straight streams of water. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
Flash Point: 12 deg C ( 53.60 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 398.9 deg C ( 750.02 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:2.0
Upper: 12.7
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 3; Instability: 0

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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Scoop up with a nonsparking tool, then place into a suitable container for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage


Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. 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. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep container closed when not in use. 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: Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.

CAS# 77-09-8:


Epidemiology: The NTP reported that there was clear evidence of carcinogenic activity in male rats based on the markedly increased incidences of benign pheochromocytoma of the adrenal medulla and others. There was clear evidence in mice based on the increased incidences of histiocytic sarcoma and malignant lymphoma of thymic origin. There was also clear evidence in female mice based on the increased incidences of histiocytic sarcoma, malignant lymphomas, and benign sex-cord stromal tumors of the ovary.

Section 12 - Ecological Information


Ecotoxicity: No data available. Cas# 67-63-0:LC50 (96Hr.) Fathead Minnow = 94900-10400 mg/L; Flow-through conditionLC50 (96 Hr.) Fathead Minnow = 61200-65500 mg/L;Flow-through condition.
Environmental: Cas# 67-63-0: TERRESTRIAL FATE: When spilled on soil, isopropanol will both evaporate quickly and leach into the ground due to its high vapor pressure and low adsorption to soil. Degradation in soil and groundwater has not been determined. If soil degradation is not rapid, it is apt to leach into the groundwater. AQUATIC FATE: When released into water, isopropyl alcohol will volatilize (estimated half-life approximately 5.4 days) and may biodegrade. Although it is readily degradable in a number of laboratory tests, no data on its degradability in natural waters.
Physical: Cas# 67-63-0: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: When released into the atmosphere, isopropanol will photodegrade with an estimated half-life ranging from one to several days. Due to its solubility in water, rainout may be significant.
Other: No information available.
