Note: Terpene hydrocarbons include mainly alpha and beta pinene and other C10H16 hydrocarbons. CST
may also contain variable concentrations of miscellaneous sulfur compounds, some of which are
known to be extremely hazardous. Sulfur compounds in Crude Sulfate Turpentine vary by the region
where they are produced, the tree species and whether the product is from a bleached or
unbleached mill. Specific chemical analyses may be requested from the mill producing the Crude
Sulfate Turpentine.
3. Hazard Identification
Appearance and Odor: Clear to dark brown liquid with a foul kraft pulp mill odor.
Primary Health Hazards: The primary health hazards are due to skin exposure to the liquid and/or
inhalation of the vapor or mist.

4. Emergency and First-Aid Procedures
Ingestion: Not applicable under normal use. If swallowed, can produce nausea, serious illness, and
even death (average lethal dose for an adult is 4-6 ounces). DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give
edible oil or mineral oil to drink. Get immediate medical help.
Eye Contact: Liquid turpentine may cause irritation, conjunctivitis, or corneal burns. Vapors are irritating
at 175 ppm. Speed is essential. Immediately flush with running water for at least 15 minutes,
including under eyelid. Get immediate medical help.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation, dermatitis, or chemical burns. Remove contaminated clothing,
footwear, and accessories such as a watch. Wash clothing before reuse and discard footwear which
cannot be decontaminated. Immediately wash with warm running water and soap. Get medical help.
Skin Absorption: Liquid can penetrate skin to produce systemic effects. Wash thoroughly with soap
and water and rinse.
Inhalation: May cause headache, dizziness, chest pain, bronchitis, pulmonary edema, cyanosis,
narcosis, and rapid heart rate. Remove from exposure. Get medical help if symptoms persist or for
excessive exposure.
Note to Physician: None
5. Fire and Explosion Data
Flash Point (Method Used): 73?to 95癋 (23?to 35癈).CAUTION: The flash point of crude sulfate
turpentine may be dependent on the concentration and type of sulfur compounds present.

Page 2 of 6 Rev. 08/27/2007
6. Accidental Release Measures, (cont'd.)
Personnel involved in cleanup should use protection against breathing vapors or contact with liquid.
Spills should be contained, picked up with absorbent material, and placed in a closed metal container
for prompt disposal.
Other Precautions: Avoid inhalation of vapors or mist. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not smoke
in areas of storage or use.
7. Handling and Storage
Precautions to be Taken In Handling and Storage: Store in a well-ventilated, cool place away from
sources of heat and ignition. Store away from oxidizing agents. Protect containers against physical
damage.
8. Exposure Control Measures, Personal Protection
Personal Protective Equipment:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION ?A NIOSH approved respirator with an organic vapor chemical cartridge
is recommended.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES ?Chemical resistant gloves such as nitrile are recommended.
EYE PROTECTION ?Full-face mask or chemical goggles are recommended.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT ?Chemical-cartridge respirator or air-supplied or
self-contained respirator recommended for non-routine or emergency exposures above the allowable
exposure limits.
WORK/HYGIENE PRACTICES ?Eyewash stations and safety showers must be readily available. Avoid
all contact with skin and eyes. Follow good hygienic and housekeeping practices.
Ventilation:
LOCAL EXHAUST ?Provide local exhaust as needed so that exposure limits are met.
MECHANICAL (GENERAL) ?Provide general ventilation in processing and storage areas so that
exposure limits are met.
SPECIAL ?None
OTHER ?None

10. Stability and Reactivity
Stable
Stability: Unstable
Conditions to Avoid: This material is reasonably stable when stored in a well-ventilated, cool place in a
suitable container sealed to exclude air. It can undergo auto-oxidation in air, liberating heat which
can build up in a confined space.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Oxidizing agents, oxidation catalysts, and sources of ignition and
heat.
Hazardous Decomposition or By-Products: Methyl mercaptan, Dimethyl sulfide
Will not occur
Hazardous Polymerization: May occur
Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: NAP
Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Crude sulfate turpentine is a flammable liquid which may be ignited or
explode as the result of a static electricity discharge.
