KEROSINES TS-MSDS 2
Complex mixtures of straight run distillates consisting of hydrocarbons mainly in the C9-
C16 range. Avtur may contain small amounts of approved additives to combat oxidation,
corrosion, static and icing. Burning Oil contains 2 ppm Coumarin, and 6 ppm Solvent
Yellow 124, Customs and Excise markers. Benzene (CAS No. 71-43-2) may be present
in trace amounts, but will always be less than 0.1% marker level in the Dangerous
Substances Directive. These additives do not contribute any additional hazard.
Total kerosines are not classified as carcinogenic under the Dangerous Substances
Directive 67/548/EEC, or the UK "CHIP" regulations

3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Regular Burning Oils and Avtur Aviation Fuel are classified as flammable. Kerosines are
classified as harmful due to the aspiration hazard. Prolonged and repeated skin contact
can lead to irritation and dermatitis.

5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguish with Dry Powder, water mists (fogs) or Foam. For small fires use CO2
Do not use water jets.
Fires in closed or confined spaces should be tackled by trained personnel who should
wear breathing apparatus.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Treat any spillage as a fire hazard. Spray, vapour or mist can be a potential fire or
explosion hazard.
May cause damage to surfaces making them SLIPPERY.
Contain spillage - do not wash spillage down drain. Absorb using absorbent clay,
diatomaceous clay or other suitable absorbent.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Handling
Kerosines designed to be used in closed systems. Avoid skin contact when refuelling
engines or working on fuel system components. Where exposure is likely PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING should be worn including impervious GLOVES and EYE PROTECTION.
Ensure good ventilation.
7.2 Storage
Store in tanks and containers designed to contain flammable liquids and ensure storage
area is not close to heat and ignition sources.
Drums should be stored on their sides on racks preferably under cover, out of direct
sunlight, in well ventilated conditions.
Other types of containers should be stored under cover out of direct sunlight, in well
ventilated conditions. Care should be taken to avoid over-stacking.

8 EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Where prolonged or repeated exposure is likely PROTECTIVE CLOTHING should be worn
including impervious GLOVES and EYE PROTECTION.
Respiratory protection - Unlikely to be required in normal use but ensure good ventilation.
It is suggested that exposure is kept below the level for Oil Mist quoted in the current HSE
Guidance Note EH 40
Long term exposure limit - (8 hour TWA reference period) 5 milligrams per cubic metre.
Short term exposure limit - (15 minute reference period) - 10 milligrams per cubic metre.
Hand and skin protection - Hand and skin protection recommended at all times. Where
exposure is likely protective clothing must be worn, including nitrile gloves approved to BS
EN 374 with a breakthrough time of >360 minutes.
Eye protection - Eye protection approved to BS EN 166 is recommended at all times

10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Conditions to Avoid - heat (classified Flammable)
Materials to Avoid - may react with strong oxidising materials.
Hazardous Decomposition Products - thermal decomposition may lead to the formation
of a multiplicity of compounds some of which may be hazardous. With incomplete
combustion smoke and hazardous fumes and gases, including carbon monoxide may be
formed.
11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxicity following a single exposure to high levels of kerosines (oral, dermal, inhalation) is
of a very low order. Prolonged and repeated contact with kerosines may cause drying of
the skin and possibly dermatitis. Prolonged inhalation of mists may cause inflammation of
the lungs. Aspiration is considered to be a hazard.
12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxic to aquatic life, with aquatic toxicity data for Fish, Daphnia and Algae in the range 1 ?br>
100 mg/l, but unlikely to persist for sufficient time to pose a significant hazard; however
films formed on water may affect oxygen transfer and damage organisms. Expected to
biodegrade slowly, but may not meet the criteria for ready biodegradability. Components
have Log Kow in the range 3.3 to greater than 6.
13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Disposal should be carried out as stipulated in any Local Authority Regulations. Under no
circumstances should kerosines be discharged into the public drainage system, or marine
and inland waterways.
