For breathing difficulties oxygen may be necessary. If breathing stops, provide artificial respiration. Keep the affected person warm and at rest. Get prompt medical attention. INGESTION DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! Remove victim immediately from source of exposure. Rinse mouth thoroughly. Provide rest, warmth and fresh air. Get medical attention immediately! SKIN CONTACT Remove affected person from source of contamination. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash the skin immediately with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation persists after washing. EYE CONTACT Make sure to remove any contact lenses from the eyes before rinsing. Promptly wash eyes with plenty of water while lifting the eye lids. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Contact physician if irritation persists. 5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Extinguish with foam, carbon dioxide or dry powder. Water spray, fog or mist. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES Avoid breathing fire vapours. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Dike for water control. If risk of water pollution occurs, notify appropriate authorities. UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE! May explode when heated or when exposed to flames or sparks. May travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Solvent vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. May form explosive or toxic mixtures with air. SPECIFIC HAZARDS Fire creates: Carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon dioxide (CO2). PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN FIRE Wear full protective clothing. 1 / 5

2 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS Spillages or uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be IMMEDIATELY alerted to the Environmental Agency or other appropriate regulatory body. Prevent entry into drains. SPILL CLEAN UP METHODS Extinguish all ignition sources. Avoid sparks, flames, heat and smoking. Ventilate. Clean-up personnel should use respiratory and/or liquid contact protection. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Stop leak if possible without risk. Ventilate well. 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE USAGE PRECAUTIONS Avoid spilling, skin and eye contact. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Ventilate well, avoid breathing vapours. Use approved respirator if air contamination is above accepted level. Use explosion proof electric equipment. Static electricity and formation of sparks must be prevented. Good personal hygiene is necessary. Wash hands and contaminated areas with water and soap before leaving the work site. STORAGE PRECAUTIONS Flammable/combustible - Keep away from oxidisers, heat and flames. Store in tightly closed original container in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep in original container. Ground container and transfer equipment to eliminate static electric sparks. STORAGE CLASS Flammable liquid storage. 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Name Std TWA - 8 hrs STEL - 15 min Notes ETHANOL MEL 1000 ppm 1920 mg/m METHANOL WEL 200 ppm ppm Sk mg/m(sk) mg/m(sk) PYRIDINE WEL 5 ppm 16 mg/m 10 ppm mg/m WEL = Workplace Exposure Limit. Sk = Can be absorbed through skin. INGREDIENT COMMENTS WEL = Workplace Exposure Limits PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT PROCESS CONDITIONS Use engineering controls to reduce air contamination to permissible exposure level. ENGINEERING MEASURES Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT Respiratory protection must be used if air contamination exceeds acceptable level. HAND PROTECTION Protective gloves must be used if there is a risk of direct contact or splash. Butyl rubber. Nitrile. EYE PROTECTION Wear approved chemical safety goggles where eye exposure is reasonably probable. OTHER PROTECTION Wear appropriate clothing to prevent any possibility of liquid contact and repeated or prolonged vapour contact. 2 / 5

3 HYGIENE MEASURES DO NOT SMOKE IN WORK AREA! Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. Wash promptly with soap & water if skin becomes contaminated. Promptly remove any clothing that becomes contaminated. Use appropriate skin cream to prevent drying of skin. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. 9 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES APPEARANCE COLOUR ODOUR VOLATILITY DESCRIPTION SOLUBILITY Coloured liquid Violet Unpleasant, pyridine like Highly volatile.
