expected.
Ingestion:
Mildly irritating to the gastro-intestinal tract, causing abdominal spasms, nausea,
vomiting (aspiration hazard!) and diarrhea.
Skin Contact:
Mild irritant and may cause inflammation and skin cracking due to defatting action.
Eye Contact:
Mild irritant, especially if splashed into the eye. Inflammation, tearing, pain can result.
Chronic Exposure:
Continued or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
No information found.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4- FIRST AID MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion:
Aspiration hazard. If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of
water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention
immediately. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into lungs.
Skin Contact:
Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap or mild detergent and water for
at least 15 minutes. Wash clothes before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation
develops or persists.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and
upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 5- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fire:
Flash point : 46C (115F) CC
Autoignition temperature : 210C (410F)
Flammable limits in air % by volume:
lel: 0.8; uel: 5.4
Flammable Liquid and Vapor!
Explosion:
Above flash point, vapor-air mixtures are explosive within flammable limits noted above.
Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source and flash back. Sensitive to
static discharge.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical, alcohol foam or carbon dioxide. Do not use a solid stream of water, since
the stream will scatter and spread the fire. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed

containers cool.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained
breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other
positive pressure mode.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 6- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary
and unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use
non-sparking tools and equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb
with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste
container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! If a
leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors, to protect personnel
attempting to stop leak, and to flush spills away from exposures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated location, away from
any area where the fire hazard may be acute. Outside or detached storage is preferred.
Separate from incompatibles. Containers should be bonded and grounded for transfers to
avoid static sparks. Storage and use areas should be No Smoking areas. Use non-sparking
type tools and equipment, including explosion proof ventilation. Containers of this
material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors,
liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Airborne Exposure Limits:
-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
500 ppm (TWA) for (Petroleum Distillates)
NIOSH (REL) 10Hr.TWA, 350mg/m3, 1800 mg/m3 15min. Ceiling for (Refined
Petroleum Distillates)
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures
below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred
because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing
dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document,
Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for
details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to the substance is apparent and engineering
controls are not feasble, consult an industrial hygienist. For emergencies, or instances
where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-
supplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-
deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or
coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
