Common Name: METOXI 2 PROPANOL
CAS Number: 107-98-2
Concentration: 98-100%
Impurities: None of significance for occupational exposure
Stabilizing Additives: None reported
General Advice: Move affected individual from area of exposure to fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention if symptoms persist.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Provide artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Monitor for respiratory distress.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed skin with soap and water. Seek medical evaluation for irritation, redness, or burns.
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek medical attention for persistent irritation.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Never provide anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Immediate medical intervention recommended.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, CO2, alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray. Water jets may spread fire
Specific Hazards: Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air. Containers may explode when heated. Combustion produces toxic gases (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide)
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective fire-resistant clothing
Advice for Firefighters: Evacuate surrounding area. Cool containers with water spray to prevent pressure build-up. Prevent runoff from entering drains or waterways.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unprotected personnel. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove dust and ignition sources. Avoid breathing vapor, mist, or gas. Wear protective equipment including gloves, goggles, and respirator.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers, drains, or waterways. Notify authorities if product enters the environment.
Methods for Cleanup: Contain spill with sand, inert absorbent material, or non-combustible material. Use spark-proof tools. Store collected material in properly labeled containers for disposal following local regulations.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Work in well-ventilated areas. Avoid inhaling vapors. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Prevent buildup of static electricity by grounding and bonding containers and equipment. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during use.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Store away from oxidizers, acids, and ignition sources.
Special Requirements: Use explosion-proof electrical equipment. Maintain storage temperature below flashpoint.
Occupational Exposure Limit: ACGIH TLV: 100 ppm (369 mg/m³), STEL: 150 ppm (553 mg/m³)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to maintain airborne concentrations below recommended limits
