PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. Warn or evacuate occupants in surrounding and downwind areas if required
due to toxicity or flammability of the material. See Section 5 for fire fighting information. See Section 3 for
Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8 for Personal Protective Equipment.
SPILL MANAGEMENT
Land Spill: Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stop leak if
you can do it without risk. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or
walk through spilled material. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, 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. Large Spills:
Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. Recover by pumping or with
suitable absorbent.
Water Spill: Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Warn other shipping. Remove from the surface by
skimming or with suitable absorbents. Seek the advice of a specialist before using dispersants.
Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material;
however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction
and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local experts should be
consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Large Spills: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Prevent entry into waterways,
sewers, basements or confined areas.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE LIMIT VALUES
Exposure limits/standards (Note: Exposure limits are not additive)
Source Form Limit / Standard Note Source
DISTILLATES (PETROLEUM), Vapor. RCP - 152 ppm 1200 Total ExxonMobil
HYDROTREATED LIGHT TWA mg/m3 Hydrocarbons
NOTE: Limits/standards shown for guidance only. Follow applicable regulations.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions.
Control measures to consider:
Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded. Use explosion-
proof ventilation equipment.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protective equipment selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as applications,
handling practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of protective equipment for use
with this material, as provided below, is based upon intended, normal usage.
Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne contaminant concentrations at a
level which is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator may be appropriate. Respirator
selection, use, and maintenance must be in accordance with regulatory requirements, if applicable. Types of
respirators to be considered for this material include:
Half-face filter respirator
For high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in positive pressure mode.
Supplied air respirators with an escape bottle may be appropriate when oxygen levels are inadequate,
gas/vapor warning properties are poor, or if air purifying filter capacity/rating may be exceeded.
Hand Protection: Any specific glove information provided is based on published literature and glove
manufacturer data. Work conditions can greatly effect glove durability; inspect and replace worn or damaged
gloves. The types of gloves to be considered for this material include:
If prolonged or repeated contact is likely, chemical resistant gloves are recommended. If contact with
forearms is likely, wear gauntlet style gloves.
Eye Protection: If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
Skin and Body Protection: Any specific clothing information provided is based on published literature or

REGULATORY DISPOSAL INFORMATION
RCRA Information: The unused product, in our opinion, is not specifically listed by the EPA as a hazardous
waste (40 CFR, Part 261D), nor is it formulated to contain materials which are listed as hazardous wastes. It
does not exhibit the hazardous characteristics of ignitability, corrositivity or reactivity and is not formulated with
contaminants as determined by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). However, used
product may be regulated.
Empty Container Warning PRECAUTIONARY LABEL TEXT: Empty containers may retain residue and can be
dangerous. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND OR EXPOSE SUCH
CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS, STATIC ELECTRICITY, OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION; THEY
MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. Do not attempt to refill or clean container since residue is difficult
to remove. Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to a drum
reconditioner. All containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with
governmental regulations.
