See Section F, Recommended Exposure Limits.
C. Personal Protection Information
Ventilation: Use adequate ventilation to control concentration
below recommended exposure limits.
Respiratory Protection: Not generally required. For concentrations exceeding
the recommended exposure limit, use NIOSH approved
air purifying respirator.
Eye Protection: Use safety glasses with side shields. For splash
protection, use chemical goggles and face shield.
Skin Protection: Avoid unnecessary skin contamination with material.
Use gloves resistant to the material being used.
(eg. neoprene or Viton).
NOTE: Personal protection information shown in Section C is based upon
general information as to normal uses and conditions. Where
special or unusual uses or conditions exist, it is suggested that
the expert assistance of an industrial hygienist or other qualified
professional be sought.
D. Handling and Storage Precautions
Do not swallow, may be aspirated into lungs. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin or clothing. Avoid breathing vapors, mist, fume or dust. Wear
protective equipment and/or garments described in Section C if exposure
conditions warrant. Wash thoroughly after handling. Launder
contaminated clothing before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep out of water sources and
sewers. Store in well-ventilated area. Store in closed container.
Bond and ground during transfer.
E. Reactivity Data
Stability: Stable
Conditions to Avoid: Not Applicable
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Oxygen and strong oxidizing agents
Hazardous Polymerization: Will Not Occur
Conditions to Avoid: Not Applicable
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon oxides formed when burned.
F. Health Hazard Data
Recommended Exposure Limits:
The Company recommends a permissible exposure level (8-hr TWA) of
300 ppm as Total petroleum hydrocarbon.
Acute Effects of Overexposure:
Eye: May be mildly irritating.
Skin: May be mildly irritating. Dermal LD50 for this product is 15.4
g/kg (rabbit).
Inhalation: Animals displayed general weakness, ataxia, rapid respiration,
nausea and tremors after a 4 hour exposure to 1308 ppm. The
inhalation LC50 for this product in rats after a six hour
exposure period and a fourteen day post exposure observation
period was greater than 1277 ppm.
Ingestion: May irritate the stomach and intestines. The oral LD50 for this
product in rats is greater than 34.6 g/kg. If swallowed, may be
aspirated resulting in inflammation and possible fluid
accumulation in the lungs.
Subchronic and Chronic Effects of Overexposure:
Some isoparaffins have produced kidney damage in male rats only. No
comparable kidney disease is known to occur in humans.
Monkeys sustaining subacute exposures to airborne concentrations of 654
ppm of this product, six hours/day, three days/week for 13 total
exposures showed no significant treatment-related effects.
Other Health Effects:
A similar material was evaluated for developmental toxicity in rats.
They were neither embryotoxic nor teratogenic. This material was
consistently negative in standard genotoxicity assays (does not interact
with genetic material, DNA).

First Aid and Emergency Procedures:
Eye: Flush eyes with running water for at least fifteen minutes. If
irritation or adverse symptoms develop, seek medical attention.
Skin: Wash skin with soap and water for at least fifteen minutes. If
irritation or adverse symptoms develop, seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
If breathing ceases, administer artificial respiration followed
by oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.
Note to Physician: Gastric lavage using a cuffed endotracheal tube
may be performed at your discretion.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Evacuate area of all unnecessary
personnel. Use NIOSH approved
self-contained breathing apparatus and
other protective equipment and/or
garments described in Section C if
exposure conditions warrant. Shut off
source if possible. Water fog or
spray may be used to cool exposed
containers and equipment. Do not
spray water directly on fire - product
will float and could be reignited on
surface of water.

Shut off source, if possible and contain spill. Protect from ignition.
Keep out of water sources and sewers. Absorb in a dry, inert material
(sand, clay, etc). Transfer to disposal drums using non-sparking
equipment.
Waste Disposal (Insure Conformity with all Applicable Disposal Regulations):
Incinerate or place in permitted waste management facility.
