Impurities & Stabilizers: May contain trace ethanol or other alkoxides
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. Provide artificial respiration or oxygen if breathing is difficult. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Flush thoroughly with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical assistance.
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart. Seek urgent medical evaluation.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Seek prompt medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Notes for Medical Personnel: Treat symptoms, monitor for respiratory distress, and support vital functions as needed. Exposure can cause delayed effects.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, foam. Do not use water directly on the liquid.
Unsuitable Media: Water jet, may cause violent reaction or splattering.
Specific Hazards: Releases toxic fumes (titanium oxides, carbon oxides, ethanol, hydrogen) on burning. Vapors heavier than air, may travel along ground, flashback possible.
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full firefighting protective clothing.
Special Instructions: Approach fire from upwind. Remove containers from danger zone if safely possible. Use water spray to cool exposed containers.
Personal Precautions: Wear protective gloves, chemical splash goggles, impermeable clothing. Evacuate area. Eliminate all ignition sources. Avoid breathing vapors.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry to sewers, drains, and waterways. Contain the area with sand or inert absorbent material.
Spill Response: Absorb spill with inert material. Collect residue in suitable, clearly labeled containers, for proper disposal.
Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation during cleanup. Isolate contaminated area.
Decontamination: Wash area with dilute acetic acid then water, dispose of waste properly.
Safe Handling: Ground and bond all containers and equipment. Avoid contact with moisture, incompatible materials, & skin. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Keep containers tightly closed.
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Protect from light, heat, and sources of ignition. Use flame-proof fixtures. Segregate from acids, water, and oxidizers.
Incompatible Materials: Acids, bases, water, oxidizing agents.
Other Precautions: Open containers in dry atmosphere only. Handle only with trained personnel.
Engineering Controls: Use explosion-proof ventilation. Local exhaust should reduce exposures to below workplace limits.
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved full-face respirator with organic vapor cartridge or self-contained breathing apparatus for high concentrations.
Skin Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (butyl rubber, nitrile), full-body suit, boots.
Eye/Face Protection: Chemical safety goggles plus face shield.
Work Practices: Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking. Remove contaminated clothing. Shower after work. No smoking or sources of ignition nearby.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA or ACGIH limits; treat as hazardous chemical.

Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes burns; exposure leads to redness, pain, blistering.
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes severe eye burns and vision loss possible.
Respiratory Sensitization: Irritates respiratory tract; high concentrations can cause coughing, bronchospasm.
Skin Sensitization: Not expected based on available data.
Carcinogenicity: Not classified by IARC, ACGIH, NTP, OSHA.

Signs and Symptoms: Redness, burning, coughing, shortness of breath, headache, nausea.
Aquatic Toxicity: Harmful to aquatic life in case of large spills or leaks. Limited data for LC50, but alkoxides disrupt aquatic organisms.
Persistence and Degradability: Hydrolyzes rapidly in water to titanium dioxide and ethanol, both persistence depends on environment.
Bioaccumulation Potential: Not expected to bioaccumulate as decomposes, but titanium compounds may persist in sediment.
Mobility in Soil: Reacts with moisture, forms immobile titanium dioxide, ethanol can leach.
Other Effects: Release to environment should be avoided. Follow local and international regulations for accidental releases.
