Pictograms: Flame, Exclamation mark
Precautionary Statements: Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame, Use explosion-proof equipment; Wear protective gloves and eye protection; Wash hands after handling; Store in a well-ventilated place
Potential Health Effects: Inhalation of vapor causes dizziness, coughing, headache, nausea; Skin contact causes irritation in sensitive individuals; Prolonged exposure dries skin; Eye contact results in stinging, redness, watering
Fatty Acid Methyl Esters: 85–98%
Methanol: 1–3%, CAS: 67-56-1
Water: 0.2–0.8%, CAS: 7732-18-5
Minor impurities (glycerides, sodium/potassium salts): Trace amounts under 2%
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Seek medical help if symptoms persist or breathing is difficult. Provide oxygen if available.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and plenty of water for 15 minutes. If irritation develops or persists, contact a physician.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting eyelids occasionally. Do not allow victim to rub eyes. Seek immediate medical assistance.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting; call poison control or physician immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct water jet may spread fire
Special Hazards: Vapors form explosive mixtures with air at ambient temperature; combustion yields carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide; containers may rupture from heat
Protective Equipment: Firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Advice for Firefighters: Move containers from fire area if safe; use water mist to cool containers; avoid inhaling combustion products; stay upwind of fire
Personal Precautions: Avoid inhalation of vapors; ventilate area; wear suitable protective equipment including gloves and goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains, sewers, or natural water courses; contain spill with sand or earth
Cleaning Up: Absorb liquid with inert material (sand, clay, diatomaceous earth); collect waste in sealed container for disposal; wash spill site with mild detergent after removal
Notification: Report significant release to local environmental authorities if required by law
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation; keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame; avoid inhaling vapor and contact with skin or eyes; do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling
Storage: Store tightly closed in cool, dry, well-ventilated area; keep out of direct sunlight; use approved containers; store away from oxidizers and acids; label containers clearly; avoid static discharge by grounding and bonding during transfer
Occupational Exposure Limits (Methanol): OSHA PEL TWA: 200 ppm (260 mg/m³); ACGIH TLV: 200 ppm TWA, 250 ppm STEL
Engineering Controls: Mechanical ventilation, fume hoods, or local exhaust; use spark-proof equipment
Personal Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), splash goggles, flame-resistant apron, closed shoes
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face after work; keep work clothing separate from personal clothing; do not store near food or beverages
Appearance: Pale yellow liquid

Odor Threshold: Not established
pH: Not available
Melting Point/Freezing Point: Below -15°C
Boiling Point/Range: 180–340°C
Flash Point: 130°C (closed cup, typical)
Evaporation Rate: Slower than water
Flammability: Flammable liquid
Vapor Pressure: Below 1 mm Hg at 20°C
Vapor Density: Heavier than air
Relative Density: 0.86–0.89 (water = 1.0)
Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in organic solvents
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Log Pow 4.0–6.0
Auto-ignition Temperature: 370–400°C
Decomposition Temperature: Above 270°C
Viscosity: 4–6 mm²/s at 40°C
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal storage and handling conditions
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, alkalis; avoid strong bases at high temperature
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde under fire conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, sparks, open flames, static discharge, direct sunlight, strong oxidizing environments
Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin contact, eye contact, ingestion
Acute Effects: Drowsiness, headache, nausea from inhaling high concentration; skin redness, dryness, mild irritation; stinging eyes, tearing on contact
Chronic Effects: Prolonged contact dries skin and may cause dermatitis; repeated inhalation may affect central nervous system
LD50 (oral, rat): >5000 mg/kg (FAME); for methanol: 5628 mg/kg
Carcinogenicity: Not listed as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Mutagenicity / Teratogenicity: No strong evidence at occupational levels for FAME; methanol can cause birth defects if ingested in large quantities
Target Organs: Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system (methanol component)
Ecotoxicity: FAMEs show low toxicity to aquatic organisms in standard tests; methanol toxic to aquatic life in high concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: FAMEs rapidly biodegrade in soil and water; do not persist under aerobic conditions
Bioaccumulative Potential: Low for FAMEs, high for bioaccumulation unlikely
Mobility in Soil: Moderately mobile; spills migrate in ground if not contained
Other Adverse Effects: Contains no ozone-depleting substances
Waste Treatment: Incinerate in approved waste facility or recycle through fuel blending; avoid dumping into drains, soil, or surface waters
Contaminated Packaging: Empty containers must be drained and triple-rinsed before disposal; metal drums can be reconditioned; plastic pails for landfill or recycling if allowed
Special Precautions: Handle residues with gloves; follow local, state, and federal regulations for chemical disposal
