Unusual fire/explosion Combustible liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. Vapors may accumulate in low or
confined areas, travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Runoff to sewer
hazards
may create fire or explosion hazard.
Explosive in the presence of the following materials or conditions: open flames, sparks and static
discharge and heat.
Fire-fighting media and In case of fire, use water fog, foam, dry chemicals, or carbon dioxide. DO NOT FIGHT FIRE

by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. First move people out of
line-of-sight of the scene and away from windows. Cool containing vessels with water jet in order
to prevent pressure build-up, autoignition or explosion.

6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions Immediately contact emergency personnel. Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep unnecessary
personnel away. Use suitable protective equipment (See Section: "Exposure controls/personal
protection"). Follow all fire fighting procedures (See Section: "Fire-fighting measures"). Do not
touch or walk through spilled material.

precautions and clean-up
explosion proof means to transfer material to a sealed, appropriate container for disposal. For
methods
large spills dike spilled material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a
waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate container for disposal. Avoid contact of
spilled material with soil and prevent runoff entering surface waterways. See Section 13 for
Waste Disposal Information.
Personal protection in Splash goggles. Chemical resistant protective suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves.
CAUTION: The protection provided by air-purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive
case of a large spill
pressure air-supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, if exposure
levels are not known, or if concentrations exceed the protection limits of air-purifying respirator.
Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this
product.
7. Handling and storage
Handling Aspiration hazard if swallowed- can enter lungs and cause damage. Never siphon by mouth. Do
not ingest. If ingested do not induce vomiting. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid
contact with skin and clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid contact with
eyes. Use only with adequate ventilation Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Keep away from heat,
sparks and flame. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by
grounding and bonding containers and equipment before transferring material. Use explosion-
proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Empty containers may contain harmful, flammable/combustible or explosive residue or
vapors. Do not cut, grind, drill, weld, reuse or dispose of containers unless adequate precautions
are taken against these hazards.
Storage Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep
container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark
or flame). Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.

TWA: 200 mg/m3 8 hour(s).
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant airborne
Control Measures
concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits. In accordance with good
industrial hygiene and safety work practices, airborne exposures should be controlled to the
lowest extent practicable.
Hygiene measures Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating,
smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Personal protection
Eyes Avoid contact with eyes. Safety glasses with side shields.
Skin and body Avoid contact with skin and clothing. Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory Use only with adequate ventilation Do not breathe vapor or mist. If ventilation is inadequate, use a
NIOSH certified respirator with an organic vapor cartridge and P95 particulate filter.
CAUTION: The protection provided by air-purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure
air-supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, if exposure levels are
not known, or if concentrations exceed the protection limits of air-purifying respirator.

Hands Wear gloves that cannot be penetrated by chemicals or oil.
The correct choice of protective gloves depends upon the chemicals being handled, the conditions
of work and use, and the condition of the gloves (even the best chemically resistant glove will
break down after repeated chemical exposures). Most gloves provide only a short time of
protection before they must be discarded and replaced. Because specific work environments and
material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed for each intended
application. Gloves should therefore be chosen in consultation with the supplier/manufacturer and
with a full assessment of the working conditions.
Consult your supervisor or S.O.P. for special handling directions
Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.

activity in laboratory animals. In these tests, the material is painted on the shaved backs of mice
twice a week for their lifetime. The material is not washed off between applications. Therefore,
there may be a potential risk of skin cancer from prolonged or repeated skin contact with this
product in the absence of good personal hygiene. This particular product has not been tested for
carcinogenic activity, but we have chosen to be cautious in light of the findings with other distillate
streams.

Occasional skin contact with this product is not expected to have serious effects, but good
personal hygiene should be practiced and repeated skin contact avoided. This product can also be
expected to produce skin irritation upon prolonged or repeated skin contact. Personal hygiene
measures taken to prevent skin irritation are expected to be adequate to prevent risk of skin
cancer.
Diesel exhaust particulates have been classified by the National Toxicological Program (NTP) to
be a reasonably anticipated human carcinogen. Exposure should be minimized to reduce potential
risk.
12. Ecological information
Ecotoxicity Toxic to aquatic organisms. May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Mobility Spillages may penetrate the soil causing ground water contamination.
Bioaccumulative potential This product is not expected to bioaccumulate through food chains in the environment.
Other ecological Spills may form a film on water surfaces causing physical damage to organisms. Oxygen transfer
could also be impaired.

13. Disposal considerations
Waste information Avoid contact of spilled material and runoff with soil and surface waterways. Consult an
environmental professional to determine if local, regional or national regulations would classify
spilled or contaminated materials as hazardous waste. Use only approved transporters, recyclers,
treatment, storage or disposal facilities. Dispose of in accordance with all applicable local and
national regulations.
Consult your local or regional authorities.
