SECTION 4 ?FIRST AID MEASURES
First Aid
Swallowed: If swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting. Wash out mouth with water. Where

aspiration Seek immediate medical assistance or contact the Poisons
Information Centre immediately.
Eye: If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush continuously with running water.
Continue flushing until advised by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor,
or for at least 15 minutes
Skin: If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin
and hair with soap and water. If symptoms develop seek medical attention
Inhaled Remove victim from source of contamination or move victim to fresh air.
Allow patient to assume most comfortable position. Ensure airways are clear
and have qualified person give oxygen through a face mask if breathing is
difficult. Seek medical attention if effects persist.
Advice to Doctor
Treat symptomatically or consult a Poisons Information Centre
SECTION 5 ?FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard
FLAMMABLE. This product should be stored and used in a well ventilated area away from naked
flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Prevent build-up of flammable vapours. Hoses
should be electrically continuous and containers bonded to avoid static charge build-up.
Keep the container tightly closed
Extinguishing Media
Dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Water spray may be used to keep fire expose containers cool
Special Fire Fighting Procedures
In the event of a fire, water full protective clothing and NIOSH approved self-contained breathing
apparatus with full face operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode
SECTION 6 ?ACCIDENTALRELEASE MEASURES
Spills
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment. 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 (eg vermiculite, dry sand, or earth), and place in a chemical
waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as sawdust. Place used absorbent in suitable
sealed containers, follow state or local authority regulations and guidelines for the disposal of the waste.
Clean area with detergent and water ?do not allow product to enter drains sewers or watercourses ?br>
inform the local authorities if this occurs.
SECTION 7 ?HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling : Open containers cautiously as containers may be under pressure. Use only in a well
ventilated area. Avoid skin, eye contact and breathing vapour
Storage : Store in a well-ventilated place away from ignition sources, foodstuffs and clothing.
Keep containers closed when not in use. Take precautions against static electricity
discharges.

SECTION 8 ?EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Occupational Exposure Limits :
EXPOSURE Name TWA STEL
LIMITS:
3 3
ppm mg/m ppm mg/m
Heptane 400 1640 500 2050
Engineering Control Measures : Provide sufficient ventilation to keep airborne levels below exposure
limit. Where vapours or mists are generated, particularly in enclosed areas, and natural ventilation is
inadequate a flameproof ventilation system is required
Personal Protective Equipment :
Eye: Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible.
Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Hands: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or
coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Other: Overalls and protective footwear.
Respirator: If engineering controls are not effective in controlling airborne exposure then respiratory
protective equipment should be used suitable for protecting against airborne
contaminants. An organic vapour respirator ( AS 1715/1716) is the recommended
respirator recommended for this product
Always wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet.
Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage and reuse.

SECTION 11 ?TOXOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Health Effects
No adverse health effects expected if the material is handled in accordance with the Material Safety Data
Sheet. Symptoms that may arise if the material is mishandled are :
Acute Effects
Swallowing: Ingestion causes burning sensation in mouth and stomach, nausea, vomiting
and salivation. Minute amounts aspirated into the lungs can produce a
severe hemorrhagic pneumonitis with severe pulmonary injury or death.
Eye: Vapors cause eye irritation. Splashes cause severe irritation, possible
corneal burns and eye damage.
Skin: Skin contact results in loss of natural oils and often results in a characteristic
dermatitis. May be absorbed through the skin.

Inhaled: Inhalation of vapours may be irritating to the nose and throat. Inhalation of
high concentrations may result in nausea, vomiting, headache, ringing in the
ears, and severe breathing difficulties which may be delayed in onset.
Substernal pain, cough, and hoarseness are also reported. High vapour
concentrations are anaesthetic and central nervous system depressants.
Chronic Effects
Chronic inhalation can cause headache, loss of appetite, nervousness and pale skin. Repeated or
prolonged skin contact may cause a skin rash. Repeated exposure of the eyes to high concentrations of
vapor may cause reversible eye damage. Repeated exposure can damage bone marrow, causing low
blood cell count. May damage the liver and kidneys.
SECTION 12 ?ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Do NOT contaminate waterways. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long term effects to the aquatic
environment.
SECTION 13 ?DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Dispose of waste according to federal, EPA and state regulations. If possible contain spill. Place inert
absorbent material onto spillage. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect the material and place into a
