- Safety
Methanol is toxic if inhaled, ingested, or in contact with skin. Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be worn at all times while handling this chemical. Liquid and vapor of this product are highly flammable. As the vapor is slightly heavier than air, it can travel and ignite if allowed to accumulate in a confined space. Store in a tightly closed container and keep away from ignition sources. Use in a well ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapors and wash any exposed skin thoroughly after handling. Avoid storing in direct sunlight. Please see Methanol Safety Data Sheet for full safety and compatibility information.
