Section X. Other Information
Waste disposal
Storage and Handling
Spill and leak
Protective Clothing in
case of spill and leak
According to all applicable regulations. Harmful to aquatic life at low concentrations. Can be dangerous if allowed to enter
drinking water intakes. Do not contaminate domestic or irrigation water supplies, lakes, streams, ponds, or rivers.
Evacuate and ventilate the area. Stay upwind: Keep out of low areas. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Absorb on sand or
vermiculite and place in a closed container for disposal. Use non-sparking tools. Transport outdoors. Wash spill site
after material pick up is complete. DO NOT empty into drains. DO NOT touch damaged container or spilled material.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots and heavy rubber gloves. Full suit.
Store in a cool place away from heated areas, sparks, and flame. Store in a well ventilated area. Store away from incompatible
materials. Do not add any other material to the container. Do not wash down the drain. Do not breathe gas/fumes/vapor/spray. In
case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Keep container tightly closed. Manipulate under an adequate
fume hood. Do not use pressure to dispense. Storage temperature depends on methanol content and should be controlled to
avoid precipitation or vaporization. Low temperature storage results in formation of paraformaldehyde, while high temperature
storage produces formic acid. Keep away from direct sunlight or strong incandescent light. Empty containers may contain a
hazardous residue. Handle and open container with care. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. This product must be
manipulated by qualified personnel. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wash well after use. In accordance with good
storage and handling practices. Do not allow smoking and food consumption while handling.

apparatus. Do not wear contact lenses. Make eye bath and emergency shower available. Have available and use as appropriate: face shields, rubber
suits, aprons, and boots. Ensure that eyewash station and safety shower is proximal to the work-station location.
Section IX. Protective Measures
Engineering controls Use only in a chemical fume hood to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Use explosion-proof
ventilation equipment. Do not use in unventilated spaces.
