Potential Health Effects:

Routes of Exposure:

Inhalation, Skin, Ingestion, Eyes

Inhalation:

Inhalation of vapors irritates the respiratory tract. Inhalation may cause severe irritation of mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. May cause coughing, dizziness, dullness, and headache. Higher concentrations can produce central nervous system depression, narcosis, and unconsciousness.

Skin Contact:

May cause irritation, and skin rashes in sensitive individuals. Skin absorption has reportedly occurred, but toxic levels are reached only when large skin areas are covered with the drug in a suitable base (e.g., lanolin). May cause dermatitis by defatting the skin from prolonged or repeated contact. Causes redness, pain, drying and cracking of the skin.

Ingestion:

Swallowing small amounts are not likely to produce harmful effects. Ingestion of larger amounts may produce abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Aspiration into lungs may produce severe lung damage and is a medical emergency. Effects of alcohol ingestion depend on the amount and rate of consumption. Short-term overexposure can cause drunkenness, depression of the central nervous system, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, liver damage, and death. Other symptoms are expected to parallel inhalation.

Eye Contact:

Vapors may be irritating to the eyes. Splashes may cause severe irritation, with stinging, tearing, redness and pain.

Effects of Short-Term Exposure:

May cause eye and upper respiratory tract irritation. Short-term overexposure above 1,000 ppm by the inhalation route may cause central nervous system (CNS) effects such as headache and irritation of eyes, nose and throat. If continued for more than an hour additional CNS effects may occur such as dizziness, loss of appetite, and an inability to concentrate. Gastrointestinal (stomach) effects may occur with symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.

Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:

Long-term exposure can also cause loss of appetite, weight loss, nervousness, memory loss, mental retardation and liver damage. May cause dermatitis by defatting the skin from prolonged or repeated contact. Alcoholic beverages are carcinogenic to humans. Ethanol is a developmental toxin and various effects have been associated with ethanol intake. Examples of chronic ethanol abuse effects include physical dependence, malnutrition, amnesia, dementia, somnolence, cardiac myopathy, hepatotoxicity, GI bleeding and pancreatitis. Combined exposure to ethanol and certain other chemicals may result in increased toxic effects. This product contains ethyl alcohol which is toxic to blood, the reproductive system, liver, upper respiratory tract, skin, central nervous system (CNS). This product contains methyl salicylate which is toxic to blood, lungs, the nervous system, mucous membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may produce severe irritation or dermatitis.

Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:

Any pre-existing disorders or diseases of the nervous system, liver, respiratory system, skin, eyes, gastrointestinal tract.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Take precautions to ensure your own health and safety before attempting rescue and providing first aid.
Inhalation:	If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention of symptoms appear.
Serious Inhalation:	Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as collar, tie, belt, or waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek medical attention.
Eye:	Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Do not use an eye ointment. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin:	After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated s kin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Serious skin contact:	Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion:	If swallowed, vomiting may occur spontaneously but DO NOT INDUCE. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into lungs. If swallowed, give lukewarm water or milk (pint / ½ liter) if victim is completely conscious/alert. Never give anything by mouth if victim is unconscious or having convulsion. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Loosen tight clothing such as collar, tie, belt or waistband. Seek immediate medical attention.
Note to Physician:	For ingestion, consider gastric lavage, catharsis and activate charcoal slurry. Avoid depressants. Provide oxygen and/or ventilation assistance, if needed. Do not induce vomiting. However, if vomiting occurs spontaneously, maintain open airway. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.

5. FIRE FIGHTING
Flash Point:	11.7°C (53°F) [EPA 1010]
Autoignition Temperature:	Not available
Flammable or Explosive Limits (Approximate percent by volume in air)
Lower Explosive Limit:	Not available
Upper Explosive Limit:	Not available
Explosion:	Risk of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical impact: Not available. Slightly explosive in the presence of oxidizing materials.
Special Remarks on Explosion Hazard:	Vapors may explode if ignited in an enclosed area. Containers may explode when heated or involved in a fire. Ethanol has an explosive reaction with the oxidized coating of potassium metal. Ethanol ignites and then explodes on contact with acetic anhydride = sodium hydrosulfate (ignites and may explode), disulfuric acid + nitric acid, phosphorous (III) oxide platinum, potassium-tert-butoxide + acids. Ethanol forms explosive products with the following compound: ammonia + silver nitrate (forms silver nitride and silver fulminate), iodine + phosphorous (forms ethane iodide), magnesium perchlorate (forms ethyl perchlorate), mercuric nitrate, nitric acid + silver (forms silver fulminate) silver nitrate (forms ethyl nitrate) silver(I) oxide + ammonia or hydrazine (forms silver nitride and silver fulminate), sodium (evolves hydrogen gas). Sodium Hydrazide + alcohol can produce an explosion. Alcohols should not be mixed with mercuric nitrate, as explosive mercuric fulminate may be formed. May form explosive mixture with manganese perchlorate + 2,2-dimethoxypropane. Additions of alcohol to highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide forms powerful explosives. Explodes on contact with calcium hypochlorite.
Decomposition:	CO, CO2. Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.
Extinguishing Media and Fire Fighting Procedures:	Small fire: Use dry chemicals, CO2, water spray or alcohol resistant foam. Large fire: Use water spray, water fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Water may be ineffective. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed containers cool, dilute spill to nonflammable mixtures, protect personnel attempting to stop leak and disperse vapors.
Protection of Firefighters:	In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with full facepiece operated in pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. Structural firefighters protective clothing will only provide limited protection.
Fire Fighting Guidance:	Ethanol vapors are heavier than air and may travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Alcohols burn with a pale blue flame which may be hard to see under normal lighting conditions. Personnel may only be able to feel the heat of the fire without seeing flames. Extreme caution must be exercised when fighting alcohol fires. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fires is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. Always stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. Sealed containers may rupture when heated. This material may produce a floating fire hazard.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled:

Small spill: Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container.
Large spill: Flammable liquid.Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Stop leak if without risk. Absorb with DRY earth, sand or other non-combustible material. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or other confined areas; dike if needed. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration above TLV. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an inert material (e.g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors, to protect personnel attempting to stop leak, and to flush spills away from exposures. Depending on the size and nature of the release, all responders may need to be HAZWOPER trained and local, state and federal authorities may need to be notified. US Regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spill and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable quantities. The toll free number for the US Coast Guard National Response Center is (800) 424-8802.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Airborne Exposure Limits:	No airborne exposure limits were found for this material. Please review the airborne exposure limits on components presented below: ETHANOL ACGIH TLV: TWA 1000 ppm OSHA PEL: TWA 1000 ppm NIOSH REL: TWA 1000 ppm (1900 mg/m3) NIOSH IDLH: 3300 ppm [10% LEL] ACETONE ACGIH TLV: TWA 500 ppm STEL: 750 ppm OSHA PEL: TWA 1000 ppm (2400 mg/m3) NIOSH REL: TWA 250 ppm (590 mg/m3) NIOSH IDLH: 2500 ppm [10% LEL]
Ventilation:	A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Respiratory Protection:	A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.134 or ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator use. If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half-face organic vapor respirator may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-face piece organic respirator may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:	Wear chemical resistant gloves such as rubber, neoprene or vinyl. When skin contact is possible, protective clothing including gloves, apron, sleeves, boots, head and face protection should be worn.
Eye Protection:	Wear safety glasses as minimum eye protection. Conditions may warrant use of chemical safety goggles and possibly a face shield. Consult your standard operating procedure or safety professional for advice. Use protective eye and face devices that comply with OSHA’s eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or ANSA Z87.1 requirements. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Work Practices/Engineering Controls:	Selection of appropriate personal protective equipment should be based on an evaluation of the performance characteristics of the protective equipment relative to the task(s) being performed, conditions present, duration of use, and the hazards and/or potential hazards that may be encountered during use. Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of any potential may slowly penetrate protective gloves; therefore, in case of spills, discard gloves after use.
Personal Hygiene:	Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Promptly remove soiled clothing/wash thoroughly before reuse.
PPE In Case Of Large Spill:	Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self-contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient, consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.
