Ref. No. 09-0233
Dear Mr. Sanders:
This responds to your October 15, 2009 request for clarification of the Hazardous Materials
Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask for assistance in
detennining the hazard class for your alcohol mixture.
According to your letter, your product (Fast Orange G ; Pigment Orange 13, Pyrazolone
Orange, C.1. 21110, CAS#3520-72-7) has a chemical structure that, according to Appendix 6
to the United Nations Manual of Tests and Criteria, fourth revised edition, may result in
unintended explosive or self-reactive properties. You do not have test data that indicates
whether this material meets the definition of a Class 1 ( explosive) or a Di vision 4.1 (selfreactive)
material. You state that the Fast Orange G is diluted to less than 1 % with common
alcohols, water, and less than 1 % Phosphotungstic acid. You suggest that at this
concentration, even if pure Fast Orange G met the definition for a Class 1 (explosive)
material, it has been sufficiently desensitized that it no longer exhibits explosive
characteri sties.
Section 173.22 requires a shipper to properly class and describe a hazardous material for
transportation in commerce. This Office does not perfonn that function. However, based on
the infonnation provided in your letter and the MSDS enclosed in your letter, it is the opinion
of this Office that your product should be described as "UN 1993, Flammable liquid solution,
n.o.s., 3, 11."
I hope this answers your inquiry. If you need further assistance, please contact this Office.
Sincerly, .tJ

Subject: Transport classification verification requested
Dr. Watson and Ms. Gorsky,
Fast Orange G (Pigment Orange 13, Pyrazolone Orange, C.1. 21110, CAS# 3520-72-7), chemical structure
attached, has a chemical structure which Appendix 6 to the United Nations Manual of Tests and Criteria, fourth
revised edition, suggests may cause it to have some unintended explosive or self-reactive properties. No test
data has been found to indicate whether or not this material might meet the definition of a Class 1 or a Division
4.1 self-reactive.
In a product known as OG-6, Fast Orange G is diluted to less than 1 % in some common alcohols, water,
and less than 1% Phosphotungstic acid, MSDS attached, At this concentration, even if pure Fast Orange G were
to be a Class 1 material, it seems reasonable to believe that it has been adequately desensitized.
Does PHMSA find anything non-compliant with using the following transport classifications for OG-6?
49CFR: UN1987, Alcohols, n.o.s., 3, II
ICAO: UN1987, Alcohols, n.o.s. (Ethanol, Methanol, Isopropanol), 3, II
IMO: UN1987, Alcohols, n.o.s. (Ethanol, Methanol, Isopropanol), 3, II

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: Orange liquid
Danger! Poison! Flammable liquid and vapor. May be fatal or cause blindness if
swallowed. Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Vapor
harmful. Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. This substance has
caused adverse reproductive and fetal effects in humans. May cause central nervous
system depression. May cause liver, kidney and heart damage. Cannot be made
non-poisonous. Flash Point: 16.5°C.
Target Organs: Kidneys, Heart, Liver, Eyes, Nervous system, Optic nerve
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. May cause painful sensitization to light. May cause visual impairment. May
cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes moderate skin irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause defatting of the skin and
dermatitis. May cause cyanosis of the extremities. Methanol can be absorbed through the skin, producing
systemic effects that include visual disturbances.
Ingestion:
May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea. May cause systemic toxicity with acidosis. May cause central nervous system depression,
characterized by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages
may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory failure.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system effects characterized by nausea,
headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. Causes respiratory tract irritation. Methanol is toxic and
can very readily form extremely high vapor concentrations at room temperature. Inhalation is the most
common route of occupational exposure. At first, methanol causes CNS depression with nausea,
headache, vomiting, dizziness and incoordination. A time period with no obvious symptoms follows
(typically 8-24 hrs). This latent period is followed by metabolic acidosis and severe visual effects which may
include reduced reactivity and/or increased sensitivity to light, blurred, doubl and/or snowy vision, and
blindness. Depending on the severity of exposure and the promptness of treatment, survivors may recover
completely or may have permanent blindness, vision disturbances and/or nervous system effects.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause reproductive and fetal effects.
Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Animal studies have reported the development
of tumors. Prolonged exposure may cause liver, kidney, and heart damage. Chronic exposure may cause
effects similar to those of acute exposure.
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Get medical aid.

Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Effects may be delayed. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Persons with skin or eye disorders or
liver, kidney, chronic respiratory diseases, or central and peripheral nervous sytem diseases may be at
increased risk from exposure to this substance.
Antidote:
Ethanol may inhibit methanol metabolism. Replace fluid and electrolytes.

General Information:
Replace fluid and electrolytes. As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHAINIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors may form an
explosive mixture with air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. During a fire, irritating
and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Will burn if involved in
a fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors are
heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground
and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. Water may be
ineffective. For large fires, use water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Do NOT use straight streams of
water.
Autoignition Temperature:
Not available
Explosion Limits:
Lower: 3.3 Upper: 19.0
Flash Point:
16.5°C (61.70°F)
NFPA Rating:

Epidemiology:
Ethanol has been shown to produce fetotoxicity in the embryo or fetus of laboratory animals. Prenatal
exposure to ethanol is associated with a distinct pattern of congenital malformations that have collectively
been termed the "fetal alcohol syndrome".
Teratogenicity :
There is no human information available. Methanol is considered to be a potential developmental hazard
based on animal data. In animal experiments, methanol has caused fetotoxic or teratogenic effects without
maternal toxicity.
Reproductive:

When spilled on land it is apt to volatilize, biodegrade, and leach into the ground water, but no data on the
rates of these processes could be found. Its fate in ground water is unknown. When released into water it
will volatilize and probably biodegrade. It would not be expected to adsorb to
sediment or bioconcentrate in fish.
Environmental:
When released to the atmosphere it will photodegrade in hours
(polluted urban atmosphere) to an estimated range of 4 to 6 days in less polluted areas. Rainout should be
significant.
