 5.4 Further Information
No data available.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1 Personal Precautions
Wear appropriate protective equipment as specified in Section 8.

6.2 Environmental Precautions

Prevent discharge into the environment. Dike spills and stop leakage where practical. Do not allow material to enter drains.

6.3 Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up

Eliminate source of ignition. Ventilate area. Cover with absorbent material (soda ash) to confine spill and sweep or shovel into container. Close
container tightly. Avoid breathing vapors.

6.4 References to Other Sections

For disposal information, see Section 13. For protective clothing and equipment, see Section 8.

SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE

7.1 Precautions for Safe Handling
Avoid contact and inhalation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Transfer methods should avoid static
sparks. Use explosion proof ventilation.

7.2 Conditions for Safe Storage (including any incompatibles)

Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cooled, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat or ignition. Protect from physical damage.
Isolate from incompatible materials (section 10).

Incompatibles
Methanol:
Acetyl bromide, calcium carbide, chlorine, chromic anhydride, cyanuric chloride, dichloromethane, diethyl zinc, lead perchlorate, magnesium,
metals, strong oxidizers, perchloric acid, phosphorous trioxide, potassium, sodium hypochlorite, sulfuric acid and zinc.

Ethanol:
Strong oxidants, silver salts, acid chlorides, alkali metals, hydrazine, and many other substances.

7.3 Specific End Uses

Investigational research by professional users

SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

8.1 Control Parameters
Component: Methanol
ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 200 ppm
OSHA Permissable Exposure Limit (PEL): None established

Component: Ethanol
ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 1000 ppm
OSHA Permissable Exposure Limit (PEL): None established

8.2 Exposure Controls

Engineering Controls
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust
ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source.

Respiratory Protection
If the exposure limit is exceeded, wear a supplied air, full-facepiece respirator, airlined hood, or full-facepiece self-contained breathing
apparatus.

Eye Protection
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in
work area.

Skin Protection
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
