provided only for research and development under the supervision of an individual 

technically qualified to understand its potential hazards. 

Avoid breathing dust/ fume/ gas/ mist/ vapours/ spray. 

IF IN EYES: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 

15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately. Skin contact: wash thoroughly with 

soap and water for 15 minutes. If skin irritation occurs, seek medical attention. Wash 

contaminated clothing before reuse. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, 

give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician if irritation

respiratory passages, nose, and throat. 

Skin contact: Not expected to be irritating to skin. 

Eye contact: Causes serious eye irritation. 

Danger of serious damage to eyes. 

Ingestion: The acute oral toxicity of this material is between

this material is classified as slightly toxic by 

ingestion. 

Health effects of exposure:

Causes severe eye irritation with the risk of serious eye damage. 

Ethanol ( 64-17-5 ) 

Ethanol: Concentrations exceeding 1000 ppm may cause irritation to the eyes and upper 

respiratory tract. If exposure at high concentrations is prolonged, stupor and drowsiness may 

occur. A central nervous system depressant. Can cause glandular effects in humans. 

Reported to be an equivocal tumorigenic agent and a suspect teratogen. Ingestion may cause 

nausea vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and dizziness, shortness of breath, drunken 

behavior, visual disturbances drowsiness, coma, or death. Visual effects include blurred
