Section 2 - Hazards Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
Isopropyl Alcohol is Flammable Liquid and Vapour. Harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Causes
Irritation to Eyes and Respiratory Tract. Affects Central Nervous System. May Be Harmful if
Absorbed Through Skin. May Cause Irritation to Skin.
POTENTIAL ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS:
Inhalation: Breathing in small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to
cause harmful effects. However, breathing large amounts may be harmful and may
affect the respiratory system and mucous membranes (irritation), behavior and brain
(Central nervous system depression - headache, dizziness, drowsiness, stupor,
incoordination, unconsciousness, coma and possible death), peripheral nerve and
sensation, blood, urinary system, and liver.
Eye: Can cause eye irritation.
Skin: May cause mild skin irritation, and sensitization.
Ingestion: Swallowing small amounts during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful
effects. Swallowing large amounts may be harmful. Swallowing large amounts may
cause gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, abdominal
pain. It also may affect the urinary system, cardiovascular system.

Chemical Name CAS Weight%
Isopropyl Alcohol 67-63-0 75
Remark: The full composition was not shown for trademark formula reasons.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the irritated
skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Cold water may
be used. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get
medical attention.
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical
attention.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar,
tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.
Notes for the Doctor: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire-Fighting Measures
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand,
MSHAINIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
Suitable Extinguishing Agents: Small Fire: Use DRY chemical powder.
Large Fire: Use alcohol foam, water spray or fog.
Products of Combustion: These products are carbon oxides (CO, C02).

Special Fire
Fighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full fire-fighting
turn-out gear (bunker gear). Keep personnel removed and upwind of fire. Water
should be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Special Remarks on Fire
and Explosion Hazards: Slightly explosive in presence of open flames and sparks, of heat. Non-explosive in
presence of shocks. Vapor may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and
flash back. CAUTION: MAY BURN WITH NEAR INVISIBLE FLAME. Hydrogen peroxide
sharply reduces the autoignition temperature of Isopropyl alcohol. After a delay,
Isopropyl alcohol ignites on contact with dioxgenyl tetrafluorborate, chromium
trioxide, and potassium tert-butoxide. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid
smoke and fumes. (Isopropyl alcohol).
Secondary alcohols are readily auto-oxidised in contact with oxygen or air, forming
ketones and hydrogen peroxide. It can become potentially explosive. It reacts with
oxygen to form dangerously unstable peroxides which can concentrate and explode
during distillation or evaporation. The presence of 2-butanone increases the reaction
rate for peroxide formation. Explosive in the form of vapor when exposed to heat or
flame. May form explosive mixtures with air.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
General: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Environmental Precautions: Do not release to sewer, surface water or ground water.
Methods and Material for
Containment and Cleaning Up: Small Spill: Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and
place in an appropriate waste disposal container.
Large Spill: Flammable liquid. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Stop leak if without risk. Absorb with DRY earth, sand or other non-
combustible material. Do not touch spilled material. Prevent entry into sewers,
basements or confined areas. Be careful that the product is not present at a
concentration level above TLV.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Precautions: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Handling: Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment
containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/vapor/spray. Wear
suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable
respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the
container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles
such as oxidizing agents, acids.
Storage: Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources
of ignition (spark or flame).

Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne
concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that
eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station location.
