Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
?If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
?If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and
prevent aspiration.
Avoid giving milk or oils.
Avoid giving alcohol.
?If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down, lower than their hips to help avoid possible
aspiration of vomitus.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
?Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
?Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting
the upper and lower lids.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
?Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
?Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
INHALED
?If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
?Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Any material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis should not be induced mechanically or
pharmacologically.
For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or related hydrocarbons:
?Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or inhalation, is respiratory failure.
?Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g. cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction,
obtundation) and given oxygen. Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 50 mm Hg) should be
intubated.
Treat symptomatically.
?Heavy and persistent skin contamination over many years may lead to dysplastic changes. Pre-existing skin disorders may be
aggravated by exposure to this product.
?In general, emesis induction is unnecessary with high viscosity, low volatility products, i.e. most oils and greases.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
?Foam.
?Dry chemical powder.
FIRE FIGHTING
?Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.

TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.
Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke's oedema. The pathogenesis
of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.
Toxicity and Irritation data for petroleum-based mineral oils are related to chemical components and vary as does the composition
and source of the original crude.
A small but definite risk of occupational skin cancer occurs in workers exposed to persistent skin contamination by oils over a
period of years.
DIBUTYL PHOSPHITE:
unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.
TOXICITY IRRITATION
Oral (rat) LD50: 3200 mg/kg Skin (rabbit):10 mg/24h(open)Mild
Dermal (rabbit) LD50: 1990 mg/kg Skin (rabbit): 500 mg/24h - Mild
Eye (rabbit): 0.25 mg(open)SEVERE
DIPHENYLAMINE:
unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.
TOXICITY IRRITATION
Oral (Rat) LD50: 1120 mg/kg
Oral (Mouse) LD50: 1230 mg/kg
Oral (Guinea) pig: LD50 300 mg/kg
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be due to a non-
allergenic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of
highly irritating compound.
Acute toxicity: Diphenylamine and its substituted derivatives all show a slight to moderate order of toxicity following oral
administration, with LD50 values ranging from >500 to > 34,000 mg/kg. Overall, the acute dermal LD50 for these materials was
greater than the 2000 mg/kg limit dose indicating a very low order of toxicity.
Mutagenicity: Of five substituted diphenylamines tested, there was one weakly positive mutagenic response with in the bacterial
mutagenicity test, with diphenylamine (122-39-4). Overall weight of evidence for this material, as well as the category indicates
a negative evaluation for bacterial mutagenicity.
Substituted diphenylamines have been tested for mutagenicity in tests for gene mutations and chromosomal aberrations. The assays
included point mutations in bacterial cells, in vitro chromosomal aberrations in mammalian cells, and in vivo chromosomal
aberrations. With one exception, the data consistently demonstrate no evidence of genotoxicity for this category of materials.
This suggests that all members of the category lack genotoxicity due to their similarity in chemical structures and
physicochemical properties
Repeat Dose Toxicity: Diphenylamine (122-39-4) was tested in a 28 day oral study with rats. A NOAEL of 111 mg/kg/day was
identified. Diphenylamine is not only the common precursor for the materials of this category, but also theoretically the most
toxic of the class since it is the smallest member of the class. The addition of alkyl groups onto the diphenylamine molecule
results in even lower water solubility and, therefore, becomes less bioavailable. Diphenylamine, styrenated (68442-68-2) was
tested in a 28day oral gavage study in rats. A NOAEL of 100 mg/kg/day was identified. Diphenylamine styrenated was tested in a 28-
day gavage study in rats; 100 mg/kg/day was selected as the NOAEL. Diphenylamine-, reaction products with styrene and 2,4,4-
trimethylpentene (68921-45-9) was tested in a 64 week rat dietary study; a LOEL of 2500 ppm was identified. .
Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity: Diphenylamine was administered in feed at 0.1, 0.25 or 0.5% (ca. 67, 167 or 333
mg/kg/day) to rats in a two-generation reproductive toxicity study. In general, the average size of the litters decreased as the
concentration of dietary diphenylamine increased. A NOEL was not established. A developmental study was also conducted with
diphenylamine in rabbits. The test article was administered by gavage at dose levels of 0, 33, 100 and 300 mg/kg/day for
gestation days 7-19. The test article produced minimal effects (decreased food consumption and mean body weight) to maternal rats
at 300 mg/kg during pregnancy; there were no other signs of maternal toxicity. NOAEL for maternal toxicity was established at 100
mg/kg/day. The NOAEL for teratogenicity/developmental effects was greater than 300 mg/kg/day.
ADI: 0.02 mg/kg/day
NOEL: 1.5 mg/kg/day
