Product Name & Other Names: Styrallyl alcohol or Alpha-Methylbenzyl alcohol.
CAS Number.: 98-85-1
EINECS EC Number. 202-707-1
FEMA No.: 2685
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Always seek medical attention after first aid measures are provided.
Eye Contact: - Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 10 minutes at least. Contact a
physician if symptoms persist.
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water; flush with plenty of water. Take off
spoilt clothes. Contact physician if symptoms persist.
Ingestion: Wash the mouth with water; seek medical advice immediately.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure site to fresh air and keep at rest. Obtain medical
advice.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media Recommended: CO2, foam, dry chemicals.
Non-Recommended: Do not use direct water jet on burning material.
Extinguishing Procedure: Closed containers may build up pressure at elevated temperatures. If
possible, containers should be cooled with a water spray.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and
NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure
demand or other positive pressure mode. At high temperatures under fire conditions, it may produce
toxic or irritating fumes. Fire-extinguishing work is done from the windward and the suitable
fire-extinguishing method according to the surrounding situation is used. Uninvolved persons should
evacuate to a safe place.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures: Ventilate area of leak
or spill. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment
(waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Restrict unprotected
personnel from the area. Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. Do not approach facing the wind. Do
not touch the spilled material.
Environmental precautions: Do not let the product enter drains, soil, or water sources.
Methods and materials used for containment Cleanup procedures and Storage: Contain spilled
material. Cover with an inert, non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous
earth, vermiculite). Vacuum or sweep-up and remove to an approved disposal container. Avoid open
flames or other sources of ignition.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene
practices. Ensure proper ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat, or smoke
while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid
breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep
container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment
(waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Prevent any contact with hot
surfaces.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in cool, dry, and
ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original
container. Keep air contact to a minimum. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and
incompatible materials. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vapor. Do
not store with incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents and strong acids, alkali, or
oxidizing agents. Keep air contact to a minimum.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL
Precautions for safe handling: Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene
practices. Ensure proper ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory
equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact
with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing
dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container
tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof
boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Prevent any contact with hot
surfaces.
