Spill Mitigation Procedures

4. First Aid

Inhalation:

Remove individual to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or oxygen as appropriate. Seek
medical attention at once.

Skin Contact:

Flush skin with water for 15 minutes and remove contaminated clothing. Wash shoes and clothing before reuse.

Eyes:

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart.

Ingestion:

Immediately drink water to dilute. Induce vomiting. Consult a physician immediately.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Flammable. Note: Qualifies for DOT exemption based on 49CFR 173.120(a)(3).
Flammable Properties:
Flash Point: 96F
Autoignition Temperature: ND

13.5 for 1-propanol

2.1 for 1-propanol.

Vapor can travel distances to ignition sources and flash back.
Hot organic chemical vapors or mists are susceptible to sudden spontaneous combustion when mixed with air.
Ignition may occur at temperatures below published autoignition or ignition temperatures. Ignition temperatures
decrease with increasing vapor volume and vapor/air contact time and are influenced by pressure changes.
Ignition may occur at typical elevated temperature process conditions, especially in processes operating
under vacuum if subjected to the sudden ingress of air, or with sudden escape of hot vapors into outside air.

Extinguishing Media:

Does not support combustion. Use equipment appropriate to the main cause of the fire.
Do not allow contaminated water to enter sewers or waterways.

Fire Fighting Instructions:

Does not support combustion. Use equipment appropriate to the main cause of the fire.
Use water to cool containers.

Hazardous Combustion Products:

Oxides of carbon.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Evacuate the area of all unnecessary personnel. Eliminate any ignition sources.
Contain the release and eliminate its source if this can be done safely.

Air Release:

Hazardous concentrations in air may be found in local spill area and immediately downwind. Vapors may
be suppressed by the use of water fog. Contain all liquid for treatment and/or disposal as a (potential)
hazardous waste. Do not flush to sewer! US regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spills and releases to soil,
water and air in excess of stipulated quantities. US Coast Guard National Response Center is 800-424-8802.

Water Release:

This material is soluble in water. Contain all liquid for treatment and/or disposal as a (potential) hazardous
waste. Notify all downstream users of possible contamination.

Land Release:

Create a dike or trench to contain materials. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g., dry sand, clay, earth or
commercial absorbent), then place in a chemical waste container.
Contain all contaminated water for disposal and/or treatment.

Additional Spill Information:

Stop source of spill as soon as possible and notify appropriate personnel. Utilize emergency response
personal protection equipment prior to the start of any response. Evacuate all non-essential personnel.
