SECTION 6 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
Breathing high concentrations of vapors will cause irritation of the nose and throat. Signs of central nervous system depression such as
headache, drowsiness, dizziness and nausea may be experienced with overexposure.
SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
Skin and eye contact may cause moderate to severe irritation.

Single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the product being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.
INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
Ingestion of this product will cause nausea, gastro-intestinal irritation, diarrhea and possible damage to vital organs. Follow first aid
procedures.
HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC):
Repeated or abusive breathing of concentrated vapors may effect pulmonary, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems. Repeated skin
contact will dry out and crack skin. Aspiration hazard if swallowed; aspiration of product into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis.
CARCINOGENICITY: NTP CARCINOGEN: No IARC MONOGRAPHS: No OSHA REGULATED: No
This product contains no known carcinogens.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
Skin contact may aggravate pre-existing dermatitis. Inhalation of vapors may aggravate pre-existing asthma like conditions.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air. Give oxygen if breathing is labored. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing. Seek medical help.
SKIN: Remove all contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash with soap and water. Do not reuse clothing and shoes until cleaned. EYES:
Flush eyes with plenty of water while removing any contact lenses. Hold eyelids open and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes.

SECTION 7 - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Eliminate all ignition sources. Spills should be diked and must be kept from entering the sewer. Soak up with absorbent or transfer liquid
into a closed container for later disposal. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
If this product as supplied, becomes a waste it is regulated by RCRA as Ignitable Waste, EPA I.D. #D001. Suitable methods of disposal
include reclamation and fuel blending. Contact a Licensed Hazardous Waste Hauler for more information.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING:
Containers should be grounded and bonded before transferring product. Store in the original closed container away from sunlight, excess
heat, sparks, flames and other sources of ignition. Avoid skin or eye contact. Avoid breathing vapors. When transferring or using this
product, wear proper personal protective equipment. Store and handle as a Combustible Liquid.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS/DOT INFORMATION:
DOT Proper Shipping Name: Combustible Liquid n.o.s. (Naphtha), Hazard Class: Combustible Liquid, ID No.: NA1993, Packing Group: III.
Non-bulk packagings not regulated as per 49CFR 173.150 (f)(2). Product is classified as an OSHA Class II Combustible Liquid.
SECTION 8 - CONTROL MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
The use of respiratory protection is advised when concentrations exceed the established exposure limits in SECTION 2. Depending on the
airborne concentration, use a respirator with appropriate organic vapor cartridge (NIOSH approved).
VENTILATION:
If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below the established exposure limits in SECTION 2,
additional general ventilation or local exhaust systems may be required.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES:
Wear solvent resistant gloves made of nitrile or butyl rubber.
EYE PROTECTION:
Wear safety glasses with side shields.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT:
A personal protective rating of X means you must see your supervisor for guidance. OSHA regulations (29CFR Part 1910, Subpart I) require
