DATE PREPARED: 2/20/01 GOLD EAGLE PART NO. HA55120 IMPERIAL PART NO. 005506-0 IMPERIAL PRODUCT ANTI-FREEZE GASLINE HMIS RATINGS Health: 1 Flammability: 3 Reactivity: 0 Pers. Prot. Index: B NFPA RATINGS Health: 1 Fire: 3 Reactivity: 0 Specific Hazard: None SECTION 1 - PRODUCT IDENTITY Product/Trade Name (s) : HA55120 - HEET Gas Line Antifreeze Part Number: HA55120 CAS #: N/A Category: N/A Chemical Name: N/A Formula: N/A Brief Description: Gas line dryer and antifreeze for automobiles. SECTION 11 - HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS & EXPOSURE LIMITS CHEMICAL NAME CAS # % LIMITS VALUES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Methanol 67-56-1 99.00 PEL 200 ppm PEL 260 mg/m3 Proprietary Additive (CAS# Mixture) 1.00 N/A SECTION 111 - PHYSICAL / CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS Boiling Point: 148 F. ( 65 C. ) N/A Vapor Pressure (mm Hg.): 97.0 Vapor Density (AIR = 1 ): 1.1 Solubility in Water: Soluble % Volatile / Volume: 100.0 Appearance and Odor: Yellow Liquid, solvent odor pH; N/A Specific Gravity (H20 = 1): 0.795 Miscellaneous Information: Product is flammable, keep away from sources of ignition, combustibles, oxidizing materials and acid. Store in an area equipped with automatic sprinklers or fire extinguishing system. Empty containers contain product residues, assume emptied containers to have same hazards as full containers. SECTION 1V - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA Flash Point: 52 F. ( 11 C. ) TOC Flammable Limits: 6.0 to 36.5 Lower Explosive Limit (LEL): 6.0 Upper Explosive Limit (UEL): 36.5 Extinguishing Media Use halon replacement or carbon dioxide extinguishers or alcohol foam for small fires. Water spray or fog can cool fire but may not be effective in extinguishing fire. Large fires should be extinguished with alcohol foam. Use water spray to cool containers exposed to fire. Special Fire Fighting Procedures Wear NIOSH approved SCBA respirator in the positive pressure mode and chemical protective clothing specifically recommended for methanol. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards Dangerous fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Methanol is extremely flammable and forms explosive mixtures with air. Methanol vapors may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA Stable: yes Hazardous Polymerization May Occur; No Conditions to Avoid: Store in a well ventilated place away from sources of ignition, combustibles, oxidizing materials and acid. Incompatibility (Material to Avoid) Strong oxidizing agents, aluminum, zinc, or metals that displace hydrogen, rubber and rubber based coatings, chromic anhydride, lead perchlorate and perchloric acids. Hazardous Decomposition or By products Excessive heating and/or incomplete combustion will produce carbon monoxide and toxic vapors such as formaldehyde. SECTION V1 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA Effects on Eyes Mild irritant. Effects on Skin Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis, scaling and possible systemic effects. Effects Due to Ingestion POISON-Oral human lowest lethal dose = 6.4 g/kg Effects Due to Inhalation Poisonous, narcotic chemical affecting central nervous system resulting in: dizziness, nausea, visual impairment, narcosis and muscular impairment. First Aid Procedures for Eyes If the product contacts the eyes, immediately wash the eyes with large quantities of room temperature water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the lower and upper lids. Get medical attention immediately. A follow up visit to an ophthalmologist should be made. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this chemical. First Aid Procedures for Skin If the product contacts the skin, promptly wash the contaminated skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If this product penetrates the clothing, promptly remove the clothing and wash the skin with soap and water. Systemic effects may be delayed 18 to 72 hours, therefore keep individual under observation. First Aid Procedures for Ingestion If this product is ingested and the person is conscious, induce vomiting, then give 2 teaspoons of baking soda in a glass of water. DO NOT INDUCE AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON TO VOMIT. Get medical attention immediately. First Aid Procedures for Inhalation Move the exposed person to fresh air at once and call emergency medical care. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give humidified oxygen. SECTION V11 - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled SMALL SPILL: Remove sources of heat or ignition, provide adequate ventilation, contain leak using absorbent, inert, non-combustible material. LARGE SPILL: Contain spill, transfer to secure containers. In the event of an uncontrolled material release, the user should determine if release is reportable under applicable laws and regulations. Waste Disposal Method Dispose of product in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Before attempting clean up, refer to other sections of MSDS for hazard warning information. Precautions to Be Taken in Handling and Storing See other sections of MSDS Other Precautions Methanol waste and material contaminated with methanol would be regulated as a hazardous waste material under the hazardous waste number U154. SECTION V111 - CONTROL MEASURES Local Exhaust; Provide local ventilation to maintain exposure levels below recommended exposure limits. Mechanical (General): In confined spaces, mechanical ventilation may be required. Special Ventilation: N/A Other Ventilation: N/A Protective Gloves: Use natural rubber or neoprene gloves as required. Eye Protection: Use splash proof chemical, safety goggles or appropriate full-face respirator. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this chemical.
