SECTION 3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION:
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
APPEARANCE / STATE: Clear colorless combustible liquid
HEALTH HAZARDS:
WARNING! COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID. HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. CAN
ENTER LUNGS AND CAUSE DAMAGE. MAY BE HARMFUL IF INHALED OR
ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. LIQUID CONTACT MAY CAUSE EYE AND SKIN
IRRITATION. OVEREXPOSURES MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
DEPRESSION AND TARGET ORGAN EFFECTS. MAY CAUSE DIZZINESS AND
DROWSINESS. SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS MAY BE REQUIRED
BY RESCUE WORKERS. CONTAINS BENZENE ?CANCER HAZARD. LONG TERM
EXPOSURE TO BENZENE VAPOR HAS CAUSED CANCER IN LABORATORY
ANIMALS. AVOID SPILLS. SPILLS MAY PRESENT BOTH A PHYSICAL AND AN
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD.
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Skin contact, eye contact, inhalation and ingestion.
TARGET ORGAN EFFECTS: Refer to Sec. 11, Toxicological Information.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
(Signs & Symptoms of Exposure)
INHALATION (Breathing): Toxic and harmful if inhaled. May cause irritation to the nose,
throat and respiratory tract. Breathing of high vapor concentrations may cause central nervous
system depression, evidenced by dizziness, light-headedness, headache, nausea, drowsiness and
loss of coordination. Continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness.
(Refer also to Sec. 8 & 11 for more information).
EYE CONTACT: May be irritating to the eyes causing a burning sensation, redness, swelling
and/or blurred vision.
SKIN CONTACT: May be irritating to the skin causing a burning sensation, redness and/or
swelling. Prolonged or repeated skin contact can cause defatting and drying of the skin that may
result in a burning sensation and a dried, cracked appearance. Remove contaminated clothing.
INGESTION (Swallowing): This material may be harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may result in
vomiting; aspiration (breathing) of vomitus into lungs must be avoided as even small quantities
may result in aspiration pneumonitis.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE: Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling Heavy
Naphtha can be harmful or fatal. Altered mental state, drowsiness, peripheral motor neuropathy,
irreversible brain damage, delirium, seizures and sudden death are associated with repeated abuse.
Prolonged and repeated exposure of pregnant animals to high levels of toluene (greater than 1500
ppm) have been reported to cause fetal developmental effects.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGREVATED BY EXPOSURE: Persons with pre-existing
medical conditions such as disorders of the skin, respiratory system, liver, kidneys, central nervous
system, cardiovascular and blood systems my be more susceptible to the toxic effects.
SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES:
INHALATION (Breathing): Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration If
breathing is difficult, give 100 percent humidified oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
.
EYE CONTACT: Remove contact lenses if worn. Immediately flush eyes with cool water and
continue washing for at least fifteen minutes, keeping eyelids open. Seek medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: remove contaminated shoes and clothing. Flush affected area with large
amounts of water. If skin surface is damaged, apply a clean dressing and seek medical attention.
Do not use ointments. If skin surface is not damaged, clean affected area thoroughly with mild
soap and water. Seek medical attention if tissue appears damaged or if pain or irritation persists.
INGESTION (Swallowing): Do not induce vomiting. If spontaneous vomiting is about to occur,
place victim's head below knees. If victim is drowsy or unconscious, place on the left side with
head down. Never give anything by mouth to a person who is not fully conscious. Do not leave
victim unattended. Seek medical attention immediately.

Fire:
Autoignition temperature: No data available
Decomposition temperature: No data available
Flammable limits in air (%volume): No data available
FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, foam, and carbon dioxide. Water fog or
water spray are of value for cooling, but may not achieve extinguishment.
SPECIAL INFORMATION: This product has been determined to be a combustible liquid per
the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard and should be handled accordingly. For additional
fire related information, see NFPA 30 or North American Emergency Guide 128.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:
Take proper precautions to ensue your own health and safety before attempting spill control or
cleanup. Evacuate all non-essential personnel from immediate area and establish a `regulated
zone' with site control and security. In natural environments, seek advice from ecologists. Use
proper protective equipment. Eliminate all ignition sources. All equipment used when handling
this material must be grounded. Stop the leak if it can be done without risk. Do not touch or walk
through spilled material. Remove spillage immediately from hard, smooth walking areas. Prevent
spilled material from entering waterways, sewers, basements, or confined areas. Absorb or cover
with dry earth, sand, or other non-combustible material and transfer to appropriate waste
containers. Notify the National Response Center (800-424-8802) and comply with all laws.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE:
Store and transport in accordance with all applicable laws. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open
flame. Keep containers closed. Ground all drums and transfer vessels when handling. All
electrical equipment in heavy naphtha storage and/or handling areas should be installed in
accordance with applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code, N.F.P.A. Keep out of
reach of children.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION:
EXPOSURE LIMITS: Refer to Section #2
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
VENTILATION: Provide ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne
concentrations of vapor or mists below the applicable workplace exposure limits. All electrical
equipment should comply with the National Electric Code. An emergency eye wash station and
safety shower should be located near the workstation.

HEAVY NAPHTHA
PERSONAL PROTECTION: The selection of personal protective equipment varies,
Depending upon conditions of use. A hazard assessment
of the work area for PPE requirements should be conducted by a qualified professional pursuant
to OSHA regulations.
EYES: 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
likelihood of misting, splashing, or spraying of this material. A suitable emergency eye wash and
safety shower should be located near the workstation.
SKIN: Avoid skin contact. Use gloves. Wash hands with plenty of mild soap and water before
eating, drinking, smoking, use of toilet facilities or leaving work. Do not use this material as a
skin cleaner.
RESIRATORY: For known vapor concentrations above the occupational exposure guidelines use
a NIOSH-approved organic vapor respirator if adequate protection is provided. Protection factors
vary depending upon the type of respirator used. Respirators should be used in accordance with
OSHA requirements. For airborne vapor concentrations that exceed the recommended protection
factors for organic vapor respirators, use a full-face, positive-pressure, supplied air respirator.
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Use explosion-proof mechanical ventilation equipment.
