Major Route(s) of Entry Skin Contact. Eye Contact. Absorption. Inhalation.
Signs and Symptoms of Acute Exposure
Inhalation Breathing high concentrations of vapor may cause respiratory irritation, euphoria, excitation or giddiness,
headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, muscular weakness, staggering
gait, and central nervous system (CNS) depression. CNS effects include dizziness, drowsiness,
disorientation, vertigo, memory loss, visual disturbances, difficulty with breathing, convulsions,
unconsciousness, paralysis, coma, and even death, depending upon the level of exposure concentration
and/or duration. Vapors can reduce the oxygen content in air. Approximately 20,000 ppm (or 2 vol.%) in
air is fatal to humans in 5 to 10 minutes. Sudden death from cardiac arrest (heart attack) may result from
exposure to 5,000 ppm for only 5 minutes. Oxygen deprivation is possible if working in confined spaces.
Eye Contact Animal test results on similar materials suggest that this product can cause minimal to moderate eye
irritation upon short-term exposure. Symptoms include stinging, watering, redness, and swelling.
Skin Contact Animal test results on similar materials suggest that this product can cause moderate skin irritation.
Short-term contact symptoms include redness, itching, and burning of the skin. This material may also be
absorbed through the skin and produce CNS depression effects (see "Inhalation" above). If the skin is
damaged, absorption increases. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause moderate to severe
dermatitis. Chronic symptoms may include drying, swelling, scaling, blistering, cracking, and severe tissue
damage.
Ingestion If swallowed, this material may irritate the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, and esophagus. It can
be readily absorbed by the stomach and intestinal tract. Symptoms include a burning sensation of the
mouth and esophagus, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, staggering gait, drowsiness, loss of consciousness,
and delirium, as well as additional central nervous system (CNS) effects (see "Inhalation" above).
Due to its light viscosity, there is a danger of aspiration into the lungs during vomiting. Aspiration can
result in severe lung damage or death. Progressive CNS depression, respiratory insufficiency, and
ventricular fibrillation may also result in death.
Chronic Health Effects Chronic effects of ingestion and subsequent aspiration into the lungs may cause pneumatocele (lung
Summary cavity) formation and chronic lung dysfunction.
Reports have associated repeated and proplonged occupational overexposure to solvents with irreversible
brain and nervous system damage (sometimes referred to as "Solvent or Painter's Syndrome"). Intentional
misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling this product may be harmful or fatal.
Conditions Aggravated Personnel with pre-existing central nervous system (CNS) disease, neurological conditions, skin disorders,
by Exposure chronic respiratory diseases, or impaired liver or kidney function should avoid exposure.
Target Organs This substance is toxic to lungs, central nervous system, brain, mucous membranes, skin, eyes, and
possibly, the blood, liver, or kidneys.
Carcinogenic Potential This product does not contain any components at concentrations above 0.1% which are considered
carcinogenic by OSHA, IARC, or NTP.
OSHA Hazard Classification is indicated by an "X" in the box adjacent to the hazard title. If no "X" is present, the product does not exhibit the

SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before attempting rescue or providing first aid. For more specific
information, refer to Exposure Controls and Personal Protection in Section 8 of this MSDS.
Inhalation Immediately move victim to fresh air. If victim is not breathing, immediately begin rescue breathing. If
heart has stopped, immediately begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). If breathing is difficult, 100
percent humidified oxygen should be administered by a qualified individual. Seek medical attention
immediately.
Eye Contact Check for and remove contact lenses. If irritation or redness develops, flush eyes with cool, clean,
low-pressure water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart to ensure complete irrigation of the eye
and eyelid tissue. Do not use eye ointment. Seek medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact Remove contaminated shoes and clothing. Flush affected area with large amounts of water. If skin
surface is damaged, apply a clean dressing and seek medical attention. Do not use ointments. If skin
surface is not damaged, clean affected area thoroughly with mild soap and water. Seek medical
attention if tissue appears damaged or if pain or irritation persists.
Ingestion Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth. If spontaneous vomiting is about to occur, place
victim鈥檚 head below knees. If victim is drowsy or unconscious, place on the left side with head down.
Never give anything by mouth to a person who is not fully conscious. Do not leave victim unattended.
Seek medical attention immediately.
Notes to Physician Inhalation overexposure can produce toxic effects. Monitor for respiratory distress. If cough or
difficulty in breathing develops, evaluate for upper respiratory tract inflammation, bronchitis, and
pneumonitis. Vigorous anti-inflammatory/steroid treatment may be required at first evidence of upper
airway or pulmonary edema. Administer 100 percent humidified supplemental oxygen with assisted
ventilation, as required.
If ingested, this material presents a significant aspiration/chemical pneumonitis hazard. As a result,
induction of emesis is not recommended. Administer an aqueous slurry of activated charcoal followed
by a cathartic such as magnesium citrate or sorbitol. Also, treatment may involve careful gastric lavage
if performed soon after ingestion or in patients who are comatose or at risk of convulsing. Protect the
airway by cuffed endotracheal intubation or by placement of the body in a Trendelenburg and left lateral
decubitus position. Obtain chest X-ray and liver function tests. Monitor for cardiac function, respiratory
distress and arterial blood gases in severe exposure cases.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
NFPA Flammability OSHA/NFPA Class-II Combustible Liquid. Highly combustible!
Classification
Flash Point Method CLOSED CUP: 42掳 to 45掳C (107掳 to 113掳F). (Tagliabue (ASTM D-56))
Lower Flammable Limit Upper Flammable Limit
AP 0.6 % AP 6.0 %
Autoignition Temperature AP 230掳C (446掳F)
Hazardous Burning or excessive heating may produce smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and possibly
Combustion Products other harmful gases/vapors.
Special Properties Combustible Liquid! This material releases vapors at or approaching its flash point temperature. When
mixed with air in certain proportions and exposed to an ignition source, its vapor can cause a flash fire.
Use only with adequate ventilation. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel long distances along the
ground to an ignition source and flash back. May create vapor/air explosion hazard in confined spaces
such as sewers. If container is not properly cooled, it can rupture in the heat of a fire.
SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide (CO2), foam, water fog, or inert gas (nitrogen).
Extinguishing Media
LARGE FIRE: Use foam, water fog, or waterspray. Water fog and spray are effective in cooling
containers and adjacent structures but might cause frothing and/or may not achieve extinquishment. A
water jet may be used to cool the vessel's external walls to prevent pressure build-up, autoignition, or
explosion. NEVER use a water jet directly on the fire because it may spread the fire to a larger area.

Fire Fighting Protective Firefighters must use full bunker gear including NIOSH-approved positive pressure self-contained
Clothing breathing apparatus to protect against potential hazardous combustion or decomposition products and
oxygen deficiencies. Evacuate area and fight the fire from a maximum distance or use unmanned hose
holders or monitor nozzles. Cover pooling liquid with foam. Containers can build pressure if exposed to
radiant heat; cool adjacent containers with flooding quantities of water until well after the fire is out.
W ithdraw immediately from the area if there is a rising sound from venting safety devices or
discoloration of vessels, tanks, or pipelines. Be aware that burning liquid will float on water. Notify
appropriate authorities if liquid(s) enter sewers or waterways.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before attempting spill control or clean-up. For more specific
information, refer to the Emergency Overview on Page 1, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection in Section 8 and Disposal
Considerations in Section 13 of this MSDS.
Combustible Liquid! Release causes an immediate fire or explosion hazard. Evacuate all non-essential
personnel from immediate area and establish a "regulated zone" with site control and security. A
vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Eliminate all ignition sources. All equipment
used when handling this material must be grounded. Stop the leak if it can done without risk. Do not
touch or walk through spilled material. Remove spillage immediately from hard, smooth walking areas.
Prevent its entry into waterways, sewers, basements, or confined areas. Absorb or cover with dry earth,
sand, or other non-combustible material and transfer to appropriate waste containers. Use clean,
non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
For large spills, secure the area and control access. Dike far ahead of a liquid spill to ensure complete
collection. Water mist or spray may be used to reduce or disperse vapors; but, it may not prevent
ignition in closed spaces. This material will float on water and its run-off may create an explosion or fire
hazard. Verify that responders are properly HAZWOPER-trained and wearing appropriate respiratory
equipment and fire-resistant protective clothing during cleanup operations. In an urban area, cleanup
spill as soon as possible; in natural environments, cleanup on advice from specialists. Pick up free
liquid for recycle and/or disposal if it can be accomplished safely with explosion-proof equipment.
Collect any excess material with absorbant pads, sand, or other inert non-combustible absorbent
materials. Place into appropriate waste containers for later disposal. Comply with all laws and
regulations.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling A spill or leak can cause an immediate fire/explosion hazard. Keep containers closed and do not
handle or store near heat, sparks, or any other potential ignition sources. Bond and ground all
equipment before transferring this material from one container to another. Do not contact with
oxidizable materials. Do not breathe vapor. Use only with adequate ventilation/personal protection.
Never siphon by mouth. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Prevent contact with food,
chewing, or smoking materials. Do not take internally.
When performing repairs and maintenance on contaminated equipment, keep unnecessary persons
away from the area. Eliminate all potential ignition sources. Drain and purge equipment, as necessary,
to remove material residues. Use gloves constructed of impervious materials and protective clothing if
direct contact is anticipated. Provide ventilation to maintain exposure potential below applicable
exposure limits. Promptly remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and
water after handling.
Empty containers may contain material residues which can ignite with explosive force. Misuse of empty
containers can be dangerous if used to store toxic, flammable, or reactive materials. Cutting or welding
of empty containers can cause fire, explosion, or release of toxic fumes from residues. Do not
pressurize or expose empty containers to open flame, sparks, or heat. Keep container closed and drum
bungs in place. All label warnings and precautions must be observed. Return empty drums to a
qualified reconditioner. Consult appropriate federal, state and local authorities before reusing,
reconditioning, reclaiming, recycling, or disposing of empty containers and/or waste residues of this
material.

Storage Store and transport in accordance with all applicable laws. Keep containers tightly closed and store in a
cool, dry, well-ventilated place, plainly labeled, and out of closed vehicles. Keep away from all ignition
sources! Ground all equipment containing this material. Containers should be able to withstand
pressures expected from warming and cooling in storage. This combustible liquid should be stored in a
separate safety cabinet or room. All electrical equipment in areas where this material is stored or handled
should be installed in accordance with applicable requirements of the N.F.P.A.'s National Electical Code
(NEC).
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapor
and/or mists below the pertinent exposure limits (see below). All electrical equipment should comply with
the NFPA NEC Standards. Ensure that an emergency eye wash station and safety shower are near the
work-station location.
Personal Protective Personal protective equipment should be selected based upon the conditions under which this material is
Equipment used. A hazard assessment of the work area for PPE requirements should be conducted by a qualified
professional pursuant to OSHA regulations. The following pictograms represent the minimum
requirements for personal protective equipment. For certain operations, additional PPE may be required.
Eye Protection Safety glasses with side shields are recommended as a minimum protection. During transfer
operations or when there is a likelihood of misting, splashing, or spraying, chemical goggles and face
shield should be worn. Suitable eye wash water should be readily available.
Hand Protection Avoid skin contact and use gloves (disposable PVC, neoprene, nitrile, vinyl, or PVC/NBR). Before
eating, drinking, smoking, use of toilet facilities, or leaving work, wash hands with plenty of mild soap
and water. DO NOT use gasoline, kerosene, other solvents, or harsh abrasive skin cleaners.
Body Protection Avoid skin contact. It is recommended that fire-retardant garments (e.g. Nomex鈩?) be worn while
working with flammable and combustible liquids. If splashing or spraying is expected,
chemical-resistant protective clothing (Tyvek庐, nitrile, or neoprene) should be worn. This might include
long-sleeves, apron, slicker suit, boots, and additional facial protection. If general contact occurs,
IMMEDIATELY remove soaked clothing and take a shower. Contaminated leather goods should be
removed promptly and discarded.
Respiratory Protection For unknown vapor concentrations use a positive-pressure, pressure-demand, self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA). For known vapor concentrations above the occupational exposure guidelines (see
below), use a NIOSH-approved organic vapor respirator if adequate protection is provided. Protection
factors vary depending upon the type of respirator used. Respirator use should follow OSHA
requirements (29 CFR 1910.134) or equivalent standard (e.g. ANSI Z88.2).
General Comments Warning! Odor is an inadequate warning for hazardous conditions.
This product is sometimes used as a dry-cleaning solvent. Retained solvent present in absorbent
clothing (e.g., shoulder pads, leather belts or straps, etc.) which remains in contact with the skin for
prolonged periods has caused severe skin irritation including redness, swelling, burns, and severe
tissue damage. Care must be taken to ensure that garments are completely dry before being worn.

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
For other health-related information, refer to the Emergency Overview on Page 1 and the Hazards Identification in Section 3 of this
MSDS.
Toxicity Data Stoddard Solvent or Mineral Spirits:
ORAL (LD50): Acute: GT 34,600 mg/kg [Rat].
GAS (LC50): Acute: GT 21,400 mg/m3 for 4 hours [Rat].
DERMAL (LD50): Acute: 15,400 mg/kg [Rabbit].
n-Nonane:
GAS (LC50): Acute: 3,200 ppm for 4 hours [Rat].
INTRAVENOUS (LD50): Acute: 218 mg/kg [Mouse].
Stoddard Solvent or Mineral Spirits is a mild to moderate eye irritant and a skin and respiratory tract
irritant. Human volunteers exposed to an airborne concentration of 400 ppm experienced no ill effects.
Saturated vapors in air (or AP 8,200 mg/m3) are below the LC50 level in rats.
Based upon laboratory animal studies, repeated direct application of Stoddard Solvent to the skin can
produce defatting dermatitis, kidney damage, and changes in blood-forming capacity. Rats developed
kidney damage and elevated blood urea nitrogen levels when exposed to a concentration of 1.9 mg/L
for 65 days. The kidney damage in rats appeared to involve both the tubules and glomeruli, but only
occurred in males; so these effects may not be pertinent to humans. Male rats exposed to airborne
concentrations of 100, 150, and 1,500 ppm for 6 hours per day, 5 days per week for 90 days did not
develop any functional or histological signs of nuerotoxicity. Stoddard Solvent and Mineral Spirits were
not mutagenic in the Salmonella/microsome (Ames) assay, the in-vivo mouse bone marrow cell
chromosome abberations assay, and the in-vitro rat sister chromatid exchanges assay.

Rats inhaling n-nonane at an airborne concentration of 1,500 ppm for 7 days displayed mild tremors
and loss of coordination. Inhalation of 1,600 ppm for 6 hours per day for 90 days showed animal weight
loss or decreased weight gain and changes in the structure of their salivary glands. And, liver damage
and an altered response to drugs were seen in rats given n-nonane for 2 to 7 days.
SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity Ecological effects testing has not been conducted on this material. If spilled, this naphtha, its storage
tank water bottoms and sludge, and any contaminated soil or water may be hazardous to human,
animal, and aquatic life.
Using Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), similar naphthas showed a 96-hour TLm (Median Toxic
Limit) from 10 ppm to 20 ppm in ambient saltwater. 24-hour TLms resulted in 2,990 ppm and 200 ppm
when using Bluegill Sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) and juvenile American Shad (Squalius cephalus),
respectively. Based upon actual spill incident investigations, similar naphthas have been shown to
bioaccumulate in tissues of various fish from a 1 ppm to 10 ppm levels.
Environmental Fate This naphtha is potentially toxic to freshwater and saltwater ecosystems. It will normally float on water
with its lighter components evaporating rapidly. In stagnant or slow-flowing waterways, a naphtha
hydrocarbon layer can cover a large surface area. As a result, this covering layer might limit or
eliminate natural atmospheric oxygen transport into the water. With time, if not removed, oxygen
depletion in the waterway might be enough to cause a fish kill or create an anaerobic environment. This
coating action can also be harmful or fatal to plankton, algae, aquatic life, and water birds. Additionally,
potable water and boiler feed water systems should NEVER be allowed more than 5 ppm contamination
from this material.
For additional ecological information concerning components of this product, users should refer to the
Hazardous Substances Data Bank庐 and the Oil and Hazardous Materials/Technical Assistance Data
System (OHM/TADS) maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. (See Section 2 for
components.)
SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Hazard characteristic and regulatory waste stream classification can change with product use. Accordingly, it is the responsibility
of the user to determine the proper storage, transportation, treatment and/or disposal methodologies for spent materials and
residues at the time of disposition.
Maximize material recovery for reuse or recycling. If spilled material is introduced into a wastewater
treatment system, chemical and biological oxygen demand (COD and BOD) will likely increase. This
material is biodegradable if gradually exposed to microorganisms, preferably in an aerobic
environment. In sewage-seeded wastewater, at or below concentrations of 0.2 vol.% of this naphtha,
there is little or no effect on bio-oxidation and/or digestion. However, at 1 vol.%, it doubles the
required digestion period. Higher concentrations interfere with floc formation and sludge settling and
also plug filters or exchange beds. Vapor emissions from a bio-oxidation process contaminated by this
material might prove to be a potential health hazard.
Recovered non-usable material may be regulated by US EPA as a hazardous waste due to its
ignitibility (D001) characteristics. In addition, conditions of use may cause this material to become a
hazardous waste, as defined by Federal or State regulations. It is the responsibility of the user to
determine if the material is a RCRA "hazardous waste" at the time of disposal. Transportation,
treatment, storage, and disposal of waste material must be conducted in accordance with RCRA
regulations (see 40 CFR Parts 260 through 271). State and/or local regulations might be even more
restrictive. Contact the RCRA/Superfund Hotline at (800) 424-9346 or your regional US EPA office for
guidance concerning case specific disposal issues.
