Hazardous Ingredients (specific)
% Composition
CAS Number
Isopropyl Alcohol (2-Propanol)
70%
67-63-0
Eyes – Liquid, mist or vapor will cause conjunctival irritation and possible corneal
damage.
Skin – Repeated or prolonged contact may produce defatting of the skin leading
to irritation and dermatitis. Liquid may be absorbed through the skin but
not in toxicologically significant amounts, unless the contact area is large
and under prolonged exposure.
Ingestion – Swallowing a small amount may have the effect of any of these
symptoms: irritation of mouth, throat, digestive tract, and central nerves
system depression.
Ingestion – A large dose may have the effect of any of these symptoms:
dizziness, drowsiness, headache, mental confusion, nerve damage
leading to numbness and muscle weakness, fall of blood pressure, liver
damage, lung damage.
Inhalation – Exposure to vapor may have the effect of any of these symptoms:
irritation of nose, throat and respiratory tract, central nerve system
depression.
Inhalation – Exposure to vapor at high concentration may have the effects of any
of these symptoms: dizziness, drowsiness, headache, mental confusion,
lung damage, fall of blood pressure, liver damage, nerve damage leading
to numbness and muscle weakness.

under a shower. Remove contaminated clothing and continue washing.
Contaminated clothing should be washed throughly before re-use. Obtain
medical attention if blistering of the skin occures or redness persists.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Have victim drink serval large glasses of water to dilute
the stomach contents. Give the victim oxygen if he/she has difficulty in
breathing. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove the victim from exposure immediately. Give the victim oxygen if he/she
has difficulty in breathing. Obtain medical attention immediately.
MEDICAL PERSONNEL:
Monitor the victim for systemic secondary effects on liver and kidney functions.
Support and treat as appropriate.

Be aware of the possibility of re-ignition. Keep containers and surroundings cool
with water spray.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards –
Class 3 Flammability. Vapor can travel a considerable distance to a source of
ignition and flashback. Flashback can occur if air temperature exceeds flash
point. Be aware the possibility of re-ignition.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures –
Handle as Flammable Liquid. Use Respiratory Protection. Wear full protective
clothing for Fire Fighting Personnel.
SECTION 6. Accidental release measures
Flush spills with water.
Contain and absorb using soil, sand, or other inert material.
Vapor can accummulate in low areas. Consider the need for evacuation.
Prevent the material from entering drains or water courses.
SECTION 7. Handling and storage
Eliminate all sources of ignition. Store away from heat.
Store in well ventilated area.
Handle as flammable liquid. Follow local, state and federal regulations.
Avoid inhaling vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Wear eye protection if splashing is expected.
Wear appropriate protective clothing.
Use respirator if exposure level is high when handling bulk liquid.
Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
