Special Remarks on Fire Hazards
Containers should be grounded. CAUTION	MAY BURN WITH NEAR INVISIBLE FLAME Vapor may travelconsiderable distance to source of ignition and flash back. May form explosive mixtures with air.Contact with Bromine pentafluoride is likely to cause fire or explosion.Ethanol ignites on contact with chromyl chloride.Ethanol ignites on contact with iodine heptafluoride gas.It ignites than explodes upon contact with nitrosyl perchlorate.Additon of platinum black catalyst caused ignition.(Ethyl alcohol 200 Proof)
Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards: Ethanol has an explosive reaction with the oxidized coating around potassium metal.Ethanol ignites and then explodes on contact with acetic anhydride + sodium hydrosulfate (ignites and may explode), disulfuric acid + nitric acid, phosphorous(III) oxide platinum, potassium-tert-butoxide+ acids.Ethanol forms explosive products in reaction with the following compound : ammonia + silver nitrate (forms silver nitride and silver fulminate), iodine + phosphorus (forms ethane iodide), magnesium perchlorate (forms ethyl perchlorate), mercuric nitrate, nitric acid + silver (forms silver ulminate) silver nitrate (forms ethyl nitrate) silver(I) oxide + ammonia or hydrazine (forms silver nitride and silver fulminate), sodium (evolves hydrogen gas).Sodium Hydrazide + alcohol can produce an explosion.Alcohols should not be mixed with mercuric nitrate, as explosive mercuric fulminate may be formed.May form explosive mixture with manganese perchlorate + 2,2-dimethoxypropane.Addition of alcohols to highly concentrate hydrogen peroxide forms powerful explosives.Explodes on contact with calcium hypochlorite Vapor may explode if ignited in an enclosed area.Containers may explode when heated or involved in a fire.(Ethyl alcohol 200 Proof)

Small Spill	Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container.
Large Spill	Flammable liquid. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Stop leak if without risk. Absorb with DRY earth, sand or other non-combustible material. Do not touch spilled material. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV.Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.

Precautions

Keep locked up.. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incom-
patibles such as oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis, moisture.

Storage

Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame). Do not store above 23°C (73.4°F).

Engineering Controls	Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station location.
Personal Protection	Splash goggles. Lab coat. Vapor respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill	Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.
