1. Product IdentificationSynonyms: Basic Blue 9,trihydrate; Methelyne blue trihydrate; 3,7-Bis(dimethylamino)phenazathionium chloride trihydrate
CAS No.: 61-73-4 (Anhydrous); 7220-79-3 (Trihydrate)
Molecular Weight: 373.91
Chemical Formula: C16H18ClN3S . 3H2O2. Composition/Information on Ingredients
Ingredient: Methylene Blue
CAS No.: 61-73-4
Percent: 100%3. Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
Methylene Blue is relatively non-hazardous in routine industrial situations.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation: No adverse health effects expected from inhalation. May cause a short period of rapid or difficult breathing.
Ingestion: A burning sensation of the mouth may be noted following ingestion of methylene blue. May cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and gastritis. Large doses may cause abdominal and chest pain, headache, profuse sweating, mental confusion, painful micturation, and methemoglobinemia.
Skin Contact: Not expected to be a health hazard from skin exposure. Methylene blue may color the skin a bluish color. May cause photosensitization.
Eye Contact: No adverse effects expected. May cause mechanical irritation.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Give oxygen if breathing is difficult; give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Keep person warm and quiet; get medical attention.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention.5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire: Methylene blue is considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece.6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Pick up spills and place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal, using a method that does not generate dust.7. Handling and Storage
Keep Methylene Blue in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Avoid dust formation and control ignition sources. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of Methylene Blue may be hazardous when empty.8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits: None established.
Ventilation System: In general, dilution ventilation is a satisfactory health hazard control for this substance. However, if conditions of use create discomfort to the worker, a local exhaust system should be considered.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): Not expected to require personal respirator usage. For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerin, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.9. Physical and Chemical Properties

Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents, alkali, dichromates, alkali iodides, reducing agents.
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, flame, ignition sources, dusting and incompatibles.11. Toxicological Information

Environmental Fate: When released into the soil, this material is not expected to evaporate significantly. When released into water, this material is not expected to evaporate significantly. This material has an estimated bioconcentration factor (BCF) of less than 100. This material is not expected to significantly bioaccumulate. When released into the air, this material is expected to be readily degraded by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals. When released into the air, this material may be removed from the atmosphere to a moderate extent by wet deposition. When released into the air, this material may be removed from the atmosphere to a moderate extent by dry deposition.
Environmental Toxicity: No information found.13. Disposal Considerations
Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling should be managed in an appropriate and approved waste disposal facility. Processing, use or contamination of this product may change the waste management options. Dispose of container and unused Methylene Blue in accordance with legal requirements.14.
