Ethanol 96% denatured with 5% methanol

Fresh air supply, breath donation if necessary, warmth. Consult a physician in the case of remaining complaints. In the case of unconsciousness, position the patient in the lateral recumbent position.

Symptoms: Irritation of mucus membranes.

Wash skin with plenty of water or take a shower. After cleaning use fatty skin care products. In the case of remaining skin irritation, consult a physician.

Symptoms: Reddening of the skin.

Flood the eye with plenty of water for a few minutes, holding the eyelids open. Remove contact lenses. Consult an eye-doctor.

Symptoms: Irritation of mucus membranes.

Rinse mouth and drink plenty of water. In the case of unconsciousness, position the patient in the lateral recumbent position.

Symptoms: Ingestion of Methanol may cause impaired vision and acidosis (muscle pain), nausea.

Alcohol resistant foam, ABC-Powder, BC-Powder, carbon dioxide, water spray.

Water jet, alcohol unstable foam.

Formation of explosive gas-air mixtures. Extreme generation of heat in the case of larger fires.

Use water spray to cool exposed containers in the environment. In the case of larger fires: Cordon affected area. Keep unprotected persons away.

In the case of large quantities: Use personal protective equipment to avoid any contamination of skin, eyes and personal clothes. Remove potential sources of ignition. Do not smoke. Take measures against static discharge. Assure sufficient ventilation. Only use suited and explosion-proof tools and devices. If available, observe corporate hazard-control and emergency plans.

absorb in liquid-binding material (sand, diatomaceous earth, universal binding agent, sawdust)

apply an exhausting procedure. Erect barriers, cover canal inlets, close the spool valves of the floor drains. Use water for the final purification.

Avoid penetration into the sewage canal, surface water, and ground water. Observe the fire and explosion protection measures.

In the case of larger quantities: use water for the final purification.

Materials: liquid-binding material (sand, diatomaceous earth, universal binding agent, sawdust)

Store in properly sealed original containers. Storage area should be cool. Heating induces an increase in pressure, danger of bursting. Provide for solvent-resistant and compact flooring. In the case of storage of larger quantities the required retention volume has to be assured. Do not store together with incompatible materials. Only transfer into suited and resistant containers. Containers have to be properly labelled.

Store in properly sealed original containers. Storage area should be cool. Protect against heat and direct solar radiation.

The usual precautionary measures when handling chemicals have to be observed. When using, do not eat, drink, smoke, or sniff. Wash hands thoroughly with water and soap, and use skin care products before breaks and at the end of the work. Preventive skin protection is recommended. Apply and rub thoroughly water insoluble skin protection preparations before the start of work and at the end of each break. After cleaning use fatty skin care products.

Keep away from sources of ignition - do not smoke.

As far as required by the assessment of the exposure scenario, effective local exhaust ventilation shall be provided. Explosion prevention has to be observed.

Selection of the glove material with respect to break through times, permeation rates and degradation. Suited glove material in the case of prolonged, direct full contact (Break through time according to EN 374 > 480 min): Butyl rubber (Butyl), recommended glove thickness: 0.7 mm. Suited glove material in the case of splash contact (Break through time according to EN 374 > 120 min): Nitrile rubber (NBR), recommended glove thickness: 0.4 mm. Other glove materials may be suited, too. The selection of suited protective glove does not depend only from the material but also from other quality characteristics and may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. The used protective gloves have to comply with the specifications of 89/686/EEC. The rules for the application of protective gloves and the practice of skin protection have to be observed.

Safety eye wear, e.g. protective goggles (EN 166). The rules for the application of eye- and face protection have to be observed.

As far as required by the assessment of the exposure scenario or in exceptional cases (e.g. in the case of accidental substance release, exceeding of the occupational exposure limit) the wearing of respiratory protection apparatus is required. The limitation of the wearing period has to be observed. Suitable respiratory protection: Breathing apparatus; gas filter A; identification colour: brown). Details of the preconditions for usage and the maximum application concentration have to be observed. Self-contained respirator (breathing apparatus according to DIN EN 133), to be used in the case of concentrations above the application limit of filtering devices, at oxygen concentrations below 17 % by volume or in the case of ambiguous conditions. Observe further national regulations concerning respiratory protection.

Solvent resistant protective clothing. Select body protection depending on the kind of work and possible impacts, e.g. apron, protective boots, chemical protective suit according to EN 14 605.

EC legislation: Water (76/464/EEC): not listed; Air (1999/30/EC): not listed. Risk management measures: See Section 15.

Stable at usual storage conditions. No stabilizers required.

No hazardous reactions provided that the instructions/advices concerning storage and handling have been implemented effectively. Corrosiveness to metals: Not corrosive to metals.

Exothermic, partially violent reactions with alkali and alkaline earth metals, strong acids and oxidizers possible. No polymerisation.

Storage temperatures > 40 °C should be avoided (increase in pressure, deformation of the containers). Avoid static discharge, explosion hazard in presence of product /air mixtures.

Alkali and alkaline earth metals, e.g. sodium (laboratory), acids, e.g. sulphuric acid or strong oxidizers.

In the case of fire, formation of carbon monoxide possible. In the case of leaks or after spilling ethanol vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.
