3.2 Mixtures
Not applicable
4.1 Description of first aid measures
Inhalation: If product mist or vapor causes respiratory irritation or distress, move the exposed person to fresh air immediately. If breathing is
difficult or irregular, administer oxygen; if respiratory arrest occurs, start artificial respiration by trained personnel. If unconscious, maintain an open
airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If symptoms persist or if the victim feels unwell, seek medical attention.
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water or saline solution for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do after first 2 minutes and continue rinsing. If irritation persists or if the victim feels unwell seek
medical attention, preferably from an ophthalmologist.
Skin: Flush skin with large amounts of water while removing contaminated clothing. Wash the affected area with soap and water followed by
thorough rinsing. Wash contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse. If irritation persists or if the victim feels unwell, seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water if the victim is conscious. Remove dentures if present. DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Vomiting may occur spontaneously. To prevent aspiration of vomitous into the lungs, lay the victim on one side with the head
lower than the waist. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Do not leave the victim unattended. Seek immediate
medical attention.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Potential health symptoms and effects
Eyes: Causes eye irritation with inflammation, swelling, burning pain and tearing. Risk of corneal injury and painful sensitization to light.
Continued exposure may cause lesions. Vapor or mist can cause eye irritation.
Skin: Toxic if absorbed through the skin. May cause skin irritation with localized redness, itching and discomfort. Prolonged contact with
unprotected skin may cause defatting of the skin and dermatitis.
Inhalation: Toxic if inhaled. Irritating to mucous membranes and to the respiratory system. Symptoms of over-exposure may include headache,
drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, blindness, narcosis, coma and death. May cause impaired vision and affect the optic
nerve. Prolonged and repeated inhalation of vapors and mist may cause permanent brain and nervous system damage and liver and kidney
damage. Inhalation of mist may cause edemas in the lungs and respiratory system.
Ingestion: Toxic if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. May cause central
nervous system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness and nausea. Symptoms may be delayed.
Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory failure.
Chronic: Individuals with pre-existing skin, eye and respiratory disorders may be more susceptible to the effects of this product. Prolonged or
repeated skin contact may cause drying and cracking of the skin, dermatitis or aggravate existing skin conditions. Chronic inhalation, skin
absorption or ingestion may cause damage to the liver, kidneys and heart and impair central nervous system function. Exposure may cause
degeneration of the optic nerve, resulting in impaired vision. Exposure to this product may be damaging to fertility and the unborn child. Refer to
Section 11.2.
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Advice to doctor and hospital personnel
Treat symptomatically and supportively. Effects may be delayed. Ethanol may inhibit methanol metabolism.
5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable methods of extinction: Use extinguishing media such as water spray or fog, carbon dioxide, foam and dry chemical.
Unsuitable methods of extinction: Water jets or streams may spread the fire.
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Highly flammable liquid and vapor! Methanol burns with a clean, clear flame that is almost invisible in daylight. Vapors are heavier than air and
can travel along the ground to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Exposure to ignition sources (e.g. cell phones) can ignite vapors, causing a flash fire. Closed containers may explode due to the buildup of
pressure when exposed to extreme heat. During emergency conditions overexposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard.
Symptoms may not be immediately apparent or may be delayed. Obtain medical attention.
