SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
SLIGHTLY COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID AND WILL BURN.
HEATED VAPORS IN PRESENCE OF IGNITION SOURCE CAN BE EXPLOSIVE IF CONFINED.
OVEREXPOSURE MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.
MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Absorbed through dermal contact, eye contact, inhalation, ingestion.
POTENTIAL ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
Eyes: Practically non-irritating to eyes. No effect expected.
Skin: Prolonged unprotected exposure will cause skin irritation.
Inhalation: Under normal conditions, inhalation is not expected to be a problem. However, respiratory
tract irritation may occur if exposed to fumes or mist.
Ingestion: Relatively non-toxic by ingestion. This product has laxative properties and may result in
abdominal cramps and diarrhea
POTENTIAL CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Carcinogenic Effects
Not listed by NTP, IARC, OSHA or ACGIH as carcinogenic.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE
Personnel with pre-existing skin disorders should avoid contact with this product.
Health studies have shown that many petroleum hydrocarbons pose potential human health risks which may
vary from person to person. Exposure to liquids, vapors, mists, or fumes should be minimized.
(See Toxicological Information ?Section 11)
SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT: Flush thoroughly with water while holding eyelids open. Remove contact lenses, if worn, after
initial flushing, and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs, get medical
attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Wash contact areas immediately with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and
place in closed container for storage until laundered or discarded. Thoroughly clean contaminated clothing
before reuse.
INHALATION: Allow the victim to rest in a well-ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Aspiration into lungs may cause lung damage. Seek medical attention.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Not available

SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABILITY CLASS: IIIB
FLASH POINT: > 165C (> 329F)
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Not available
PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION: May produce incomplete combustion products (CO, CO2).
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
If heated above its flash point, product will release flammable vapors which can burn in the open or be
explosive in confined spaces if exposed to ignition source. Mists or sprays may be flammable below normal
flash point. Keep away from extreme heat or open flame.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Use water fog or spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Evacuate area. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers, or drinking water
supply. Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel.
Small Fire: Use DRY chemical powder, halon, and CO2.
Large Fire: Use water spray, fog or foam. DO NOT use water jet.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (FIRE)
Wear MSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus or equivalent and full
protective gear (Bunker gear).
NFPA HAZARD ID

SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
U.S. regulations may require reporting releases of this material to the environment which exceed the
reportable quantity or oil spills which could reach any waterway including intermittent dry creeks. Report
spills to local authorities and/or the National Response Center at (800) 424-8802 as appropriate or required.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. Warn or evacuate occupants in surrounding area. Eliminate all
(potential) sources of ignition in the vicinity of the spill or released vapor. Handling equipment must be
grounded to prevent sparking.
SPILL MANAGEMENT
Land Spill: Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stop
leak if it can be done without risk. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not
touch or walk through spilled material. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed
material. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers.
Water Spill: Stop leak if it can be done without risk. Confine the spill immediately with booms. Warn other
vessels. Remove from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents. Report spills as required to
appropriate authorities. Seek the advice of a specialist before using dispersants.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Large Spills: Contain spill and safely stop the flow, warning personnel to stay away. Eliminate all sources
of ignition and ventilate. Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Prevent entry into
waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Water spray may reduce vapor, but may not prevent
ignition in closed spaces. Recover with appropriate pumping equipment or with suitable absorbent.
Small Spills: Absorb with an inert material such as clay or sand. Place in appropriate non-leaking
container. Seal tightly for proper disposal.
Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material.
Ground lines and equipment used during transfer to reduce the possibility of static spark-initiated fire or
explosion. Use non-sparking tools. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents.
Do not attempt to refill or clean containers since residue is difficult to remove.
UNISOURCE ENERGY, INC.
UNIPAR?120 KS Page 3 of 5
DO NOT ingest. Do not breathe gas, fumes, vapor, or spray. Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas of use or
storage. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical
advice immediately, showing them the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash thoroughly after handling this product.
STORAGE
Combustible materials should be stored in a separate labeled safety storage cabinet or room. Keep away
from heat and all possible sources of ignition. Keep container tightly closed and dry. Keep in a cool and
well-ventilated area. Ground all equipment containing material. Empty containers may contain material
residue; do not reuse without adequate precautions. Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas of use or storage.
All efforts should be made to prevent any leaks or spills. Storage tanks containing this product should be
engineered to prevent contact with water resources, as this material could contaminate the water resources.
Surface spills can reach groundwater through porous soil or cracked surfaces. The storage tanks should be
monitored regularly for leaks. Where spills or leaks are possible, a comprehensive response plan should be
developed and implemented.
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of
vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are proximal to the work-station location.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eyes: Safety glasses with side shields.
Body: Flame retardant clothing covering the entire body
Respiratory: Use a MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator or equivalent at high concentrations.
Hands: Chemical resistant gloves if contact is possible.
Feet: Safety slip-proof shoes in areas where spills or leaks can occur.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Splash goggles, Full suit, Vapor respirator, Boots, Gloves.
A self-contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested
protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.
THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE
The best practice is to maintain concentrations of all atmospheric contaminants as low as practical using
engineering controls and work rules. Appropriate personal protective equipment may be used for additional
protection of the worker from exposure. For application of TLV's or PEL's consult an industrial hygienist.
