111-87-5	1-Octanol	99.0+	203-917-6

Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: clear, colorless liquid. Flash Point: 178 deg F. Caution! Combustible liquid and vapor. May cause central nervous system depression. May cause eye irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin and cause irritation. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage.
Target Organs: Central nervous system, lungs, eyes, skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation. Vapors may cause eye irritation. May cause transient corneal injury.
Skin: May cause mild skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry/defat the skin and cause irritation.
Ingestion: May cause digestive tract disturbances. Possible aspiration hazard. Severe exposure to similar alcohols may cause various systemic effects including, digestive tract irritation, CNS depression, and hea rt, liver, and kidney abnormalities.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic: No information found.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Combustible liquid and vapor. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. This liquid floats on water and may travel to a source of ignition and spread fire.
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or chemical foam.
Flash Point: 178e deg F ( 81.11 deg C)
Autoignition Temperature: 523 deg F ( 272.78 deg C)
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 2; Instability: 0

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat and flame. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Storage: Keep away from heat and flame. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
