Section 3 Hazard Identification
Emergency Overview: This material is a colorless liquid with a characteristic kerosene-
like odor. It is flammable and has a flash point of 105潞 F. The vapor is heavier than air and may
travel along the ground. Ignition of the vapor by distant ignition sources is possible.
Primary Routes of Exposure:
Skin Contact
Eye Contact
Inhalation
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Eye: Contact may cause eye irritation.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed. This material may pose an aspiration hazard.
Swallowing the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis.

The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. This substance may cause
gastrointestinal tract distress and central nervous system depression.
Inhalation: High vapor concentrations may be irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs.
Potential Chronic Health Effects: The substance may defat the skin. This substance may have
effects on the central nervous system.
Target Organ: Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system, kidneys.
(See also Sections 4, 8, and 11for related information)
Section 4 First Aid Measures
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention
if irritation persists.
Skin contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation
develops or persists.
Ingestion: If swallowed, Contact a physician or Poison Control Center. This material may
pose an aspiration hazard. Do Not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. The symptoms of chemical
pneumonitis often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated
by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Section 5 Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point (method): 105oF, TCC.
Extinguishing Media: Foam, Dry Chemical, Water Fog, CO2
Protection of Firefighters: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-
demand, NIOSH and full protective gear. Evacuate area and fight fire from safe distance.
LEL: 1.0% UEL: 6.0%
Section 6 Accidental Release Measures
Clean Up Methods: Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep unnecessary people away. Dike and
contain spill with inert material (sand, earth, etc.). Transfer liquid to containers for recovery or
disposal, or absorb with absorbent materials and place into containers for disposal. Keep spill

out of sewer and open bodies of water. Floors may be slippery; care should be exercised to
avoid falls during clean up operations.
(See also Section 8 for information on Exposure Controls and Personal Protective Equipment)
Section 7 Handling and Storage
Handling: Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Use with adequate ventilation.
Keep container closed. Personnel should avoid inhalation of vapors. Personal contact
with the product should be avoided. Should contact be made, remove saturated clothing
and flush affected areas with water.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Keep container closed
Section 8 Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Use in well-ventilated areas. If necessary use mechanical local
exhaust ventilation or general room dilution ventilation to reduce vapor concentrations.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Eye Protection: Prevent eye contact. Wear chemical splash goggles or similar eye
protection if the potential exists for eye contact.
Skin Protection: Prevent skin contact. Wear chemical-resistant flexible-type gloves
(neoprene, PVC, butyl, nitrile or similar). Depending on conditions of use additional protective
equipment may be necessary such as face-shield, apron or coveralls.
Respiratory Protection: None required for normally expected use conditions. If
occupational exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation is experienced, wear an appropriate
NIOSH approved respirator with organic vapor cartridges.
General Hygiene Practices: Wash after handling material. Prevent Eye contact. Avoid
prolonged skin and inhalation contact. Wash thoroughly before handling food, cosmetics, or
before smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.

Section 13 Disposal Considerations
RCRA Hazardous Waste: This material, when discarded or disposed of, could be a hazardous
waste according to federal regulations (40 CFR 261) due to characteristics of ignitability (D001).
The transportation, storage, treatment, and disposal of this waste must be conducted in
compliance with 40 CFR 262,263,264,268, and 270. Disposal can only occur in properly
permitted facilities. Check state and local regulations for any additional requirements as these
may be more restrictive than federal laws and regulations. Chemical additions, processing or
otherwise altering this material may make the waste management information presented in this
MSDS incomplete, inaccurate, or otherwise inappropriate.
