  3. Flammability of Methanol 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point: ...................52 °F Lower Flammable Limit: 6.0 % Volume in Air Upper Flammable Limit:36.5 % Volume in Air General Information: Methanol is a serious fire hazard. This material releases vapors at or below ambient temperatures. Methanol fires may not be visible to the naked eye during daylight.

  4. Partial Checklist for Methanol storage • Are methanol storage tanks properly grounded? • When was the resistivity of the ground last checked? • Are methanol tanks padded with an inert gas such as N2?

  5. Partial Checklist for Methanol storage 4. Are methanol storage tanks properly contained with bund walls? 5. Is foam available to cover a methanol spill?

  6. NaOH MSDS 0 Toxicity of NaOH 3 1

  7. What-If Questions for NaOH Toxicity • What if a spill of NaOH solution occurs? • What if I come in contact with NaOH solution? • What if NaOH is splashed on my skin? • What if NaOH solution is splashed in my face? • What protective clothing should I wear when handling NaOH solution?
