Hazardous Combustion Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, smoke, fumes, unburned hydrocarbons and trace oxides
Products of sulfur and/or nitrogen.
Special Properties Combustible Liquid! This material releases vapors when heated above ambient
temperatures. Vapors can cause a flash fire. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and
flashback. A vapor and air mixture can create an explosion hazard in confined spaces such
as sewers. Use only with adequate ventilation. If container is not properly cooled, it can
rupture in the heat of a fire.
Extinguishing Media SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, foam, water fog, or inert gas (nitrogen).
LARGE FIRE: Use foam, water fog, or water spray. Water May Be Ineffective. Water may
not extinguish the fire. Water fog and spray are effective in cooling containers and adjacent
structures. However, water can be used to cool the external walls of vessels to prevent
excessive pressure, autoignition or explosion. DO NOT use a solid stream of water directly
on the fire as the water may spread the fire to a larger area.
Firefighters must use full bunker gear including NIOSH-approved positive pressure

decomposition products and oxygen deficiencies. Evacuate area and fight the fire from a
maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cover pooling liquid
with foam. Containers can build pressure if exposed to radiant heat; cool adjacent containers
with flooding quantities of water until well after the fire is out. Withdraw immediately from the
area if there is a rising sound from a venting safety device or discoloration of vessels, tanks,
or pipelines. Be aware that burning liquid will float on water. Notify appropriate authorities if
liquid enter sewers or waterways.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before attempting spill control or clean-up. For
more specific information, refer to the Emergency Overview on Page 1, Exposure Controls and Personal
Protection in Section 8 and Disposal Considerations in Section 13 of this MSDS.
Combustible Liquid! Release can result in a fire hazard. Evacuate all non-essential personnel
from release area. Establish a regulated zone with site control and security. Eliminate all
ignition sources. Stop the leak if it can done without risk. A vapor-suppressing foam may be
used to reduce vapors. Properly bond or ground all equipment used when handling this
material. Avoid skin contact. Do not walk through spilled material. Verify that responders are
properly trained and wearing appropriate personnel protective equipment. Dike far ahead of a
liquid spills. Do not allow released material to entry waterways, sewers, basements, or
confined areas. This material will float on water. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other
non-combustible material. Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Place
spent sorbent materials, free liquids and other clean-up debris into proper waste containers
for appropriate disposal. Certain releases must be reported to the National Response Center
(800/424-8802) and state or regulatory authorities. Comply with all laws and regulations.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Combustible Liquid!
A static electrical charge can accumulate when this material is flowing through pipes, nozzles
or filters and when it is agitated. A static spark discharge can ignite accumulated vapors
particularly during dry weather conditions. Always bond receiving containers to the fill pipe
before and during loading. Always keep nozzle in contact with the container throughout the
loading process. Do not fill any portable container in or on a vehicle. Special precautions,
such as reduced loading rates and increased monitoring, must be observed during "switch
loading" operations (i.e., loading this material in tanks or shipping compartments that
previously containing gasoline or similar low flash point products).
Fire hazard increases as product temperature approaches its flash point. Keep container
closed and drum bungs in place. Remove spillage immediately from walking areas. Do not
handle or store near heat, sparks or other potential ignition sources. Do not handle or store
with oxidizing agents. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Never siphon by mouth. Do not taste or
swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use gloves constructed of impervious
materials and protective clothing if direct contact is anticipated. Provide ventilation to
maintain exposure potential below applicable exposure levels. Avoid water contamination.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Prevent contact with food or tobacco products.
When performing repairs and maintenance on contaminated equipment, keep unnecessary
persons from hazard area. Eliminate heat, flame and other potential ignition sources. Drain
and purge equipment, as necessary, to remove material residues. Remove contaminated
clothing. Wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
Protect the environment from releases of this material. Prevent discharges to surface waters
and groundwater. Maintain handling and transfer equipment in proper working order.
Misuse of empty containers can be dangerous. Empty containers may contain material
residues which can ignite with explosive force. Cutting or welding of empty containers can
cause fire, explosion, or release of toxic fumes from residues. Do not pressurize or expose
empty containers to open flame, sparks, or heat. Keep container closed and drum bungs in
place. All label warnings and precautions must be observed. Return empty drums to a
qualified reconditioner. Consult appropriate federal, state and local authorities before reusing,
reconditioning, reclaiming, recycling, or disposing of empty containers and/or waste residues
of this material.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Keep containers tightly closed. Do not store this
Storage
product near heat, flame or other potential ignition sources. Do not store with oxidizers. Do
not store this product in unlabeled containers. Do not puncture or incinerate containers.
Ground all equipment containing this material. All electrical equipment in areas where this
material is stored or handled must meet all applicable requirements of the NFPA's National
Electrical Code (NEC). Store and transport in accordance with all applicable laws.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations
of vapor or mists below the applicable workplace exposure limits indicated below. All
electrical equipment should comply with the National Electric Code. An emergency eye
wash station and safety shower should be located near the work-station.
Personal Protective Personal protective equipment should be selected based upon the conditions under which

Eye Protection Safety glasses equipped with side shields are recommended as minimum protection in
industrial settings. Chemical goggles should be worn during transfer operations or when
there is a likelihood of misting, splashing, or spraying of this material. Suitable eye wash
water should be readily available.
Hand Protection Avoid skin contact. Use heavy duty gloves constructed of chemical resistant materials such
as Viton?or heavy nitrile rubber. Wash hands with plenty of mild soap and water before
eating, drinking, smoking, use of toilet facilities or leaving work. DO NOT use gasoline,
kerosene, solvents or harsh abrasives as skin cleaners.
Avoid skin contact. Wear long-sleeved fire-retardant garments (e.g., Nomex? while
Body Protection
working with flammable and combustible liquids. Additional chemical-resistant protective
gear may be required if splashing or spraying conditions exist. This may include an apron,
boots and additional facial protection. If product comes in contact with clothing, immediately
remove soaked clothing and shower. Promptly remove and discarded contaminated leather
goods.
Airborne concentration will determine the level of respiratiory protection required.
Respiratory Protection
Respiratory protection is normally not required unless the product is heated or misted. For
known or anticipated vapor or mist concentrations above the occupational exposure
guidelines (see below), use a NIOSH-approved organic vapor respirator equipped with a
dust/mist prefilter if adequate protection is provided. For unknown vapor concentrations or
concentrations exceeding respirator protection factors, use a positive-pressure,
pressure-demand, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Due to fire and explosion
hazards, do not enter atmospheres containing concentrations greater than 20% of the lower
flammable limit under any circumstances. Protection factors vary depending upon the type
of respirator used. Respirators should be used in accordance with OSHA requirements (29
CFR 1910.134).

Toxicity Data Petroleum hydrocarbon distillates:
Dermal, Acute LD50 (rabbit): >3000 mg/kg
Inhalation, Acute LC50 (rat): >5.5 mg/l (8 hours)
Studies on laboratory animals have associated similar materials with eye and respiratory tract
irritation. Studies on laboratory animals have shown similar materials to cause skin irritation
after repeated or prolonged contact. Repeated direct application of Stoddard Solvent to the
skin can produce defatting dermatitis and kidney damage in laboratory animals. Rats
developed kidney damage and elevated blood urea nitrogen levels when exposed to a
concentration of 1.9 mg/L for 65 days. The kidney damage occurred only in male rats and
appeared to involve both the tubules and glomeruli. The significance of these animal study
results to human health is unclear.
Trimethylbenzenes, all isomers:
The TCLo for humans is 10 ppm, with somnolence and respiratory tract irritation noted. In
inhalation studies with rats, four of ten animals died after exposures of 2400 ppm for 24
hours. An oral dose of 5 mL/kg resulted in death in one of ten rats. Minimum lethal
intraperitoneal doses were 1.5 to 2.0 mL/kg in rats and 1.13 to 12 mL/kg in guinea pigs.
Levels of total hydrocarbon vapors present in the breathing atmosphere of these workers
ranged from 10 to 60 ppm. Mesitylene (1, 3, 5 Trimethylbenzene) inhalation at
concentrations of 1.5, 3.0, and 6.0 mg/L for six hours was associated with dose-related
changes in white blood cell counts in rats. No significant effects on the complete blood count
were noted with six hours per day exposure for five weeks, but elevations of alkaline
phosphatase and SGOT were observed. Central nervous system depression and ataxia
were noted in rats exposed to 5,100 to 9,180 ppm for two hours.
Naphthalene:
Studies in Humans Overexposed to Naphthalene:
Severe jaundice, neurotoxicity (kernicterus) and fatalities have been reported in young
children and infants as a result of hemolytic anemia from over-exposure to naphthalene.
Persons with Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are more prone to the
hemolytic effects of naphthalene. Adverse effects on the kidney have also been reported
from over-exposure to naphthalene but these effects are believed to be a consequence of
hemolytic anemia, and not a direct effect.
Studies in Laboratory Animals:
Hemolytic anemia has been observed in laboratory animals exposed to naphthalene.
Laboratory rodents exposed to naphthalene vapor for 2 years (lifetime studies) developed
non-neoplastic and neoplastic tumors and inflammatory lesions of the nasal and respiratory
tract. Cataracts and other adverse effects on the eye have been observed in laboratory
animals exposed to high levels of naphthalene. Findings from a large number of bacterial
and mammalian cell mutation assays have been negative. A few studies have shown
chromosomal effects (elevated levels of Sister Chromatid Exchange or chromosomal
aberrations) in vitro.
Ethylbenzene:
Effects from Acute Exposure:
ORAL (LD50), Acute: 3,500 mg/kg [Rat].
DERMAL (LD50), Acute: 17,800 uL/kg [Rabbit].
INTRAPERITONEAL (LD50), Acute: 2,624 mg/kg [Rat].
Effects from Prolonged or Repeated Exposure:
Findings from a 2-year inhalation study in rodents conducted by NTP were as follows: Effects
were observed only at the highest exposure level (750 ppm). At this level the incidence of
renal tumors was elevated in male rats (tubular carcinomas) and female rats (tubular
adenomas). Also, the incidence of tumors was elevated in male mice (alveolar and
bronchiolar carcinomas) and female mice (hepatocellular carcinomas). IARC has classified
ethyl benzene as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2B). Studies in laboratory
animals indicate some evidence of post-implantation deaths following high levels of maternal
exposure. The relevance of these findings to humans is not clear at this time. Studies in
