Causes severe digestive tract burns and can cause blindness if swallowed. It is a flammable liquid and its vapors will ignite. Inhalation may cause dizziness, headache and disorientation. Ingestion can cause dizziness, faintness, headache and disorientation. Additional symptoms as a result of inhalation and ingestion may be nausea, vomiting, upset stomach and diarrhea. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry skin and cause irritation. Note: Chemtrec and Canutec emergency numbers to be used only in the event of chemical emergencies involving a spill, leak, exposure or accident involving chemicals. Deepwater Chemicals, Inc. Subsidiary of Tomen America, Inc. 2 Potential Health Effects: Eye Contact: Causes severe burns and permanent eye damage. May cause corneal opacity ( clouding of the eye surface ).

May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Inhalation: Irritating to the eyes, nose and respiratory tract. Can cause dizziness, headaches and disorientation. Nausea, vomiting and stomach upset can occur. Can cause anesthetic and /or narcotic effects. Ingestion: Causes severe burns to the mouth, throat and stomach. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause nausea, vomiting, pain and stomach upset. Can cause dizziness, faintness, headache and disorientation. Can cause blindness. Chronic Exposure/Target Organs: Liver, kidneys, lungs and respiratory system. Eyes, skin and nervous system.

NFPA HAZARD CODES HMIS HAZARD CODES RATINGS SYSTEM Health: 3 Health : 3 0= No Hazard Flammability: 3 Flammability: 3 1= Slight Hazard Reactivity: 0 Reactivity: 0 2= Moderate Hazard 3= Serious Hazard 4= Severe Hazard 4. First Aid Measures Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention. Skin: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. For large exposures use emergency deluge showers. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get immediate medical attention and dispose of clothing. Ingestion: Obtain immediate medical attention. Note to Physicians: Treatment should be directed at preventing absorption, administering to symptoms and provide supportive therapy. Methanol causes optic neuritis and severe metabolic acidosis. Ethyl alcohol administered intravenously is the antidote. The intravenous administration of sodium bicarbonate is useful in controlling acidosis. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If symptoms develop, seek immediate medical attention. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Deepwater Chemicals, Inc. Subsidiary of Tomen America, Inc. 3 5. Fire Fighting Measures Flash Point: 54 Degrees F ( 12.2 Degrees C ) Method: Setaflash Closed Cup LEL % : 5.5 % Autoignition: Not determined UEL % : 36.5 % FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated during combustion or decomposition. High temperatures can cause sealed containers to rupture due to a build up of internal pressure. Cool with water. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Smoke, soot and toxic and irritating fumes are emitted. Decomposes to Phosphorus oxides and Phosphine gas. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Small Fires: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, halon, water spray or foam. Large Fires: Use water spray, fog or regular foam. Move containers from fire area if you can without risk. Dike fire control water for later disposal. Do not scatter the material and do not use straight streams. Wear full protective clothing and NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus wit full-face respirator. 6. Accidental Release Measures Evacuation: Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and protected personnel from entering. Corrosive to the eye and skin. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including respiratory protection. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Containment: Safely stop discharge. Contain material, as necessary, with a dike or barrier. Stop material from contaminating soil, or from entering sewers or bodies of water. Collection/Disposal: Stop discharge, if safe to do so. Use proper protective equipment. Use non-sparking tolls and/or explosion proof equipment. Cover spills with absorbent clay or sawdust and place in closed, chemical waste containers. Dispose of according to applicable local, state and federal regulations. Reporting: In the event of a Hazardous Materials Incident during transportation, the regulations in 49CFR 171.15 and 171.16 are to be followed. Under 40CFR 302.6 (CERCLA), any release to soil, water or air, as soon as that person has knowledge of the release, the US Coast Guard National Response Center at 800-424-8801 must be contacted. 7. Handling and Storage Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources and direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed. WARNING Hot organic chemical vapors or mists can suddenly and without warning combust when mixed with air. Ignition can occur at typical elevated temperature process conditions. Any use is such processes should be evaluated thoroughly to assure safe operating conditions. Deepwater Chemicals, Inc. Subsidiary of Tomen America, Inc. 4 8.
