COMPOSITION AND INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Chemical identity: Alcohol Common name / Synonym: Ethyl Alcohol 95%; Ethanol CAS number: 64-17-5 EINECS number: 200-578-6 ICSC number: 0044 RTECS #: KQ6300000 UN #: UN1170 EC #: 603-002-00-5 % Weight Material CAS 92.42 Ethyl Alcohol 64-17-5 7.58 Water 7732-18-5 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Product Information: 203.740.3471 Emergency Assistance (CHEMTREC): 1.800.424.9300 (USA) +1.703.527.3887 (INT) SDS: 003 Revision Date: 09.06.16 Revision Number: 4.0 Initials: EF Page 4 of 12 General advice Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before attempting rescue and providing first aid. Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Move out of dangerous area. Skin Immediately flush affected area with plenty of water while removing contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Contact a doctor. If irritation persists, get medical attention. Inhalation Remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms continue, get medical attention. Give oxygen or artificial respiration as needed. Eyes Thoroughly flush the eyes with large amounts of clean low-pressure water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Ingestion DO NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting does occur, have victim lean forward to prevent aspiration. Rinse mouth with water. Seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious individual. Note to Physician Symptoms vary with alcohol level of the blood. Mild alcohol intoxication occurs at blood levels between 0.05- 0.15 %. Approximately 25% of individuals show signs of intoxication at these levels. Above 0.15% the person is definitely under the influence of ethanol; 50-95% of individuals are clinically intoxicated at these levels. Severe poisoning occurs when the blood is ethanol level is 0.3- 0.5%. Above 0.5% the individual will be comatose and death can occur. The unabsorbed ethanol should be removed by gastric lavage after intubating the patient to prevent aspiration. Avoid the use of depressant drugs or the excessive administration of fluids. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media: SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemicals, CO2, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, water fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Specific hazards arising from the chemical (e.g., nature of any hazardous combustion products): Carbon monoxide is expected to be the primary hazardous combustion product. Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Keep unopened containers cool by spraying with water. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: ? May produce a floating fire hazard. ? Static ignition hazard can result from handling and use. Product Information: 203.740.3471 Emergency Assistance (CHEMTREC): 1.800.424.9300 (USA) +1.703.527.3887 (INT) SDS: 003 Revision Date: 09.06.16 Revision Number: 4.0 Initials: EF Page 5 of 12 ? Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. ? Vapors may settle in low or confined spaces. Alcohols burn with a pale blue flame which may be extremely hard to see under normal lighting conditions. Personnel may only be able to feel the heat of the fire without seeing flames. Extreme caution must be exercised in fighting alcohol fires. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. Always stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. Flammable Properties Classification OSHA/NFPA Class IB Flammable Liquid. Flash point 17 �C (63 �F) - closed cup 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Do not inhale vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapors accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low areas. Environmental precautions: Stop leak. Contain spill if possible and safe to do so. Prevent product from entering drains. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Highly flammable liquid. Eliminate all sources of ignition. All equipment used when handling this product must be grounded. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling: Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not inhale vapor or mist. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take measures to prevent the buildup of electrostatic charge. Open and handle container with care. Metal containers involved in the transfer of this material should be grounded and bonded. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilites: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Consult local fire codes for additional storage information.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment: Respiratory protection: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Hand protection: Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. Eye protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Use equipment approved by appropriate government standards, such as NIOSH (US) or EN166 (EU) Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. Skin and body protection: Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place.
