SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance & Odor: Light colored liquid. Hydrocarbon odor.
Health Hazards: Toxic and harmful if inhaled. Can cause severe lung damage and may be fatal if swallowed.
May cause CNS depression.
Physical Hazards: COMBUSTIBLE. Vapors are heavier than air. Vapors may travel across the ground and
reach remote ignition sources causing a flashback fire danger.
Inhalation:
Toxic and harmful if inhaled. Breathing of high vapor concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS)
depression resulting in dizziness, light-headedness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination. Continued
inhalation may result in unconsciousness and death.
Eye Contact:
May cause temporary discomfort or irritation to the eye.
Skin Contact:
May be slightly irritating to the skin. Prolonged or repeated skin contact can cause defatting and drying of the skin
which may result in a burning sensation and a dried, cracked appearance.
Ingestion:
Liquid can directly enter the lungs (aspiration) when swallowed or vomited. Serious lung damage and possibly
fatal chemical pneumonia (chemical pneumonitis) can develop if this occurs.
Aggravated Medical Conditions:
Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product.
SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
DO NOT attempt to rescue the victim unless proper respiratory protection is worn. Move victim to fresh air. If the
victim has difficulty breathing or tightness of the chest, is dizzy, vomiting or unresponsive, give 100% oxygen with
SHELLSOL庐 OMS MSDS # 7650 Page of
rescue breathing or CPR as required and transport to the nearest medical facility.
Skin:
Wipe off excess material from exposed area. Flush exposed area with water and follow by washing with soap if
available. If redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters occur, transport to the nearest medical facility for additional
treatment.
Eye:
Flush eyes with water while holding eyelids open. Rest eyes for 30 minutes. If redness, burning, blurred vision or
swelling persist, consult a physician.
Ingestion:
DO NOT induce vomiting. Have victim rinse mouth out with water, then drink sips of water to remove taste from
mouth. In general no treatment is necessary unless large quantities are swallowed, however, get medical advice.
If the victim is coughing, choking, has shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing, transport to the nearest medical
facility for additional treatment. If any of the following delayed signs and symptoms appear within the next 6
hours, transport to the nearest medical facility: fever greater than 101潞 F, shortness of breath, chest congestion
or continued coughing or wheezing. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent
aspiration.
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point [Method]: 127 潞F/52.78 潞C [ Tagliabue Closed Cup]
Autoignition Temperature: 658 潞F/347.78 潞C
Flammability in Air: 1 - 7 %volume
Extinguishing Media:
Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames. Do not use a direct stream of
water. Material will float and can be re-ignited on surface of water.
Fire Fighting Instructions:
COMBUSTIBLE. Clear fire area of all non-emergency personnel. Do not enter confined fire space without full
bunker gear (helmet with face shield, bunker coats, gloves and rubber boots), including a positive pressure,
NIOSH approved, self-contained breathing apparatus. Containers exposed to intense heat from fires should be
cooled with large quantities of water to prevent weakening of container structure which could result in container
rupture.
Unusual Fire Hazards:
Vapors are heavier than air. Vapors may travel across the ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a
flashback fire danger.
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
COMBUSTIBLE. Vapors are heavier than air. Vapors may travel across the ground and reach remote ignition
sources causing a flashback fire danger.
Protective Measures:
Eliminate potential sources of ignition (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stay upwind and
keep out of low areas.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when responding to spills. Refer to Section 8.
Spill Management:
Shut off source of leak if safe to do so. Dike and contain spill. Use water spray (fog) to reduce vapors or divert
vapor cloud drift. Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage/salvage vessels. Soak up residue with an
absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material and dispose of properly. Flush area with water to remove
trace residue. Contain run-off from residue flush and dispose of properly. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer,
basements or confined areas. Remove contaminated soil to remove contaminated trace residues. Dispose of in
SHELLSOL庐 OMS MSDS # 7650 Page of
same manner as material. For small spills: Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other
suitable material. Place in non-leaking container and seal tightly for proper disposal.
Proper disposal should be evaluated based on regulatory status of this material (see Section 15), potential
contamination from subsequent use and spillage, and regulations governing disposal in the local area.
Reporting:
Notify authorities if any exposures to the general public or environment occurs or is likely to occur.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Do not breathe material. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin and clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after
handling.
Handling:
Surfaces that are sufficiently hot may ignite liquid material. Vapors are heavier than air. Vapors may travel
across the ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a flashback fire danger.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Extinguish pilot lights, cigarettes and turn off other sources of ignition
prior to use and until all vapors have dissipated. Use explosion-proof ventilation to prevent vapor accumulation
while in use. Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics, or using toilet
facilities. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Air-dry contaminated clothing in a well-ventilated area
before laundering.
Storage:
Keep containers closed when not in use.
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Controls
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions.
Appropriate measures include:
Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations.
Personal Protection
Personal protective equipment (PPE) selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as handling
practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of eye, skin and respiratory protection for
use with this material is provided below.
Eye Protection:
Chemical Goggles, if liquid contact is likely, or Safety Glasses
SHELLSOL庐 OMS MSDS # 7650 Page of
Skin Protection:
Use protective clothing which is chemical resistant to this material. Selection of protective clothing depends on
potential exposure conditions and may include gloves, boots, suits and other items. The selection(s) should take
into account such factors as job task, type of exposure and durability requirements.
Respiratory Protection:
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker
health, an approved respirator must be worn. Respirator selection, use and maintenance should be in
accordance with the requirements of the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard, 29 CFR 1910.134.
Types of respirator(s) to be considered in the selection process include:
Air-Purifying Respirator for Organic Vapors, Supplied-Air Respirator, Self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) - for use in environments with unknown concentrations or emergency situations.
