SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYE CONTACT:
Slightly irritating but does not injure eye tissue.
SKIN CONTACT:
Low order of toxicity.
Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate and cause dermatitis.
Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis condition.
INHALATION:
High vapor/aerosol concentrations (attainable at elevated temperatures
well above ambient) are irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract,
and may cause headaches, dizziness, anaesthesia, drowsiness,
unconsciousness, and other central nervous system effects, including death
INGESTION:
Small amounts of this product aspirated into the respiratory system during
ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury, possibly
progressing to death.
Minimal toxicity.
CHRONIC EFFECTS
This product contains naphthalene. The International Agency for Research on
Cancer evaluated naphthalene and concluded that there was sufficient evidence
for carcinogenicity in experimental animals, but inadequate evidence for
cancer
in exposed humans. Accordingly, IARC classified naphthalene as a possible
human carcinogen (Group 2B).
The U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) has evaluated naphthalene and found
that it may be reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.
______________________________________________________________________________
SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT:
Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. If
irritation persists, get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT:
Flush with large amounts of water; use soap if available.
Remove grossly contaminated clothing, including shoes, and launder before
reuse.

______________________________________________________________________________
INHALATION:
Using proper respiratory protection, immediately remove the affected
victim from exposure. Administer artificial respiration if breathing
is stopped. Keep at rest. Call for prompt medical attention.
INGESTION:
If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Get prompt medical
attention.

SECTION 5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: 145 Deg F. METHOD: TCC ASTM D56 NOTE: Minimum
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: LEL: 0.8 UEL: 5.7 @ 77 Deg F. NOTE: Approximate
AUTOIGNITION TEMP.: 849 Deg F.
GENERAL HAZARD
Combustible Liquid, can form combustible mixtures at temperatures at
or above the flashpoint.
Static Discharge, material can accumulate static charges which can cause
an incendiary electrical discharge .
"Empty" containers retain product residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be
dangerous. DO NOT pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or
expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or
other sources of ignition; THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly re-
turned to a drum reconditioner, or properly disposed of.
FIRE FIGHTING
Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel.
Isolate "fuel" supply from fire.
Use foam, dry chemical, or water spray to extinguish fire.
Avoid spraying water directly into storage containers due to danger of
boilover.
This liquid is volatile and gives off invisible vapors. Either the liquid
or vapor may settle in low areas or travel some distance along the ground
or surface to ignition sources where they may ignite or explode.
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS
No unusual

______________________________________________________________________________
LAND SPILL
Eliminate sources of ignition. Prevent additional discharge of material,
if possible to do so without hazard. For small spills implement cleanup
procedures; for large spills implement cleanup procedures and, if in
public area, keep public away and advise authorities. Also, if this
product is subject to CERCLA reporting (see Section 15 REGULATORY
INFORMATION) notify the National Response Center.
Prevent liquid from entering sewers, watercourses, or low areas. Contain
spilled liquid with sand or earth. Do not use combustible materials such
as sawdust.
Recover by pumping (use an explosion proof or hand pump) or with a
suitable absorbent.
Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and ensure
conformity to local disposal regulations.
WATER SPILL
Eliminate sources of ignition. Warn occupants and shipping in surrounding
and downwind areas of fire and explosion hazard and request all to stay
clear.
Remove from surface by skimming or with suitable adsorbents. If allowed
by local authorities and environmental agencies, sinking and/or suitable
dispersants may be used in non-confined waters.
Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and ensure conformity
to local disposal regulations.

SECTION 7 STORAGE AND HANDLING
ELECTROSTATIC ACCUMULATION HAZARD
Yes, use proper bonding and/or grounding procedure.
Additional information regarding safe handling of products with static
accumulation potential can be ordered by contacting the American Petroleum
Institute (API) for API Recommended Practice 2003, entitled "Protection
Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents"
(American Petroleum Institute, 1220 L Street Northwest, Washington, DC
20005), or the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for NFPA 77
entitled "Static Electricity" (National Fire Protection Association,
1 Batterymarch Park, P.O. Box 9101, Quincy, MA 02269-9101).

STORAGE AND HANDLING:
Keep container closed. Handle and open containers with care. Store in a
cool, well ventilated place away from incompatible materials.
Do NOT handle or store near an open flame, heat or other sources of
ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight.
Material will accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical
spark (ignition source). Use proper bonding and/or grounding procedures.
Do NOT pressurize, cut, heat, or weld containers. Empty product
containers may contain product residue. Do NOT reuse empty containers
without commercial cleaning or reconditioning.
______________________________________________________________________________
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control process
emissions near the source. Laboratory samples should be
handled in a lab hood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces.
See respiratory protection recommendations.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
For open systems where contact is likely, wear safety glasses with side
shields, long sleeves, and chemical resistant gloves.
Where contact may occur, wear safety glasses with side shields.
Where concentrations in air may exceed the limits given in this Section
and engineering, work practice or other means of exposure reduction are
not adequate, NIOSH approved respirators may be necessary to prevent
overexposure by inhalation.
WORKPLACE EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
OSHA REGULATION 29CFR1910.1000 REQUIRES THE FOLLOWING PERMISSIBLE
EXPOSURE LIMITS:
A TWA of 10 ppm (50 mg/m3) and a STEL of 15 ppm (75 mg/m3)
for Naphthalene.
A TWA of 25 ppm (125 mg/m3) for Trimethyl Benzene.
The recommended permissible exposure levels indicated above reflect the
levels revised by OSHA in 1989 or in subsequent regulatory activity.
Although the 1989 levels have since been vacated by the 11th Circuit Court
of Appeals, ExxonMobil Chemical Company recommends that the lower exposure
levels be observed as reasonable worker protection.
THE ACGIH RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES:
A TWA of 10 ppm (52 mg/m3) and a STEL of 15 ppm (79 mg/m3) for
Naphthalene, with skin and A4 designations.
A TWA of 25 ppm (123 mg/m3) for Trimethyl Benzene.
ExxonMobil RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
a TWA of 100 mg/m3 (17 ppm) based on total hydrocarbon.
