Early to moderate CNS depression may be evidenced by giddiness, headache, dizziness and nausea; in extreme cases, unconsciousness, respiratory depression and death may occur.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure
Pre-existing eye and/or skin irritation, respiratory, and/or digestive disorders.

SECTION 4. First Aid Measures
70% ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL

Emergency and First Aid Procedures
INHALATION = Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult.  Obtain medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT = Flush skin with plenty of water.  If irritation occurs, seek medical attention.
INGESTION = Do not give liquids if victim is unconscious or drowsy.  Otherwise give no more than 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting.  Obtain medical attention.

SECTION 5. Fire Fighting Measures
70% ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL

Flash Pt: 70.00 F  Method Used:  open cup
Explosive Limits: LEL:  2%          UEL:  12%
Autoignition Pt: N.A.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Warning. Flammable.  Clear fire area of unprotected personnel. Do not enter confined fire space without full bunker gear (helmet with face shield, bunker coats, gloves and rubber boots), including a positive pressure NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool fire exposed containers with water.
Flammable Properties and Hazards
Containers exposed to intense heat from fires should be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure buildup which could result in container rupture.  Container areas exposed to direct flame contact should be cooled with large quantities of water as needed to prevent weakening of container structure.
Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, water fog, "alcohol" foam, dry chemical or CO2
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
No data available.
