| HAZARDS AND SAFETY |
| Ethyl Alcohol (Ethanol) is a highly flammable liquid, harmful if swallowed; in liquid and vapor forms, it is an irritant for the eyes and sensitive membranes. Small amounts will cause dizziness, mental confusion, intoxication, and affect the central nervous system. Large amounts can cause death. In case of fire, use dry chemical, alcohol foam or carbon dioxide. |
