SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance & Odor: Light colored liquid. Hydrocarbon odor.
Health Hazards: Can cause severe lung damage and may be fatal if swallowed. Causes skin irritation. May
cause CNS depression.
Physical Hazards: COMBUSTIBLE.
Health Effects
Inhalation:
Vapors may be irritating to respiratory system. This material does not normally present an inhalation hazard,
however, in applications where vapors (caused by high temperature) or mists (caused by mixing) are created,
breathing may cause a mild burning sensation in the nose, throat and lungs. 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:

Page 2 of 7
Irritating to the skin causing a burning sensation, redness and/or swelling. 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:
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 rescue breathing or CPR as required and transport to the nearest medical
facility.
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.
Skin:
Remove contaminated clothing. Wipe off excess material from exposed area. Flush with large amounts of water
for at least 15 minutes, by the clock, 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.
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掳 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: 145掳F / 62.78掳C
Autoignition Temperature: 451掳F / 232.78掳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.
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
http://www.euapps.shell.com/MSDS/RetrieveMsds?whichView=printer 2/20/2003
Page 3 of 7
COMBUSTIBLE.
Protective Measures:
Eliminate potential sources of ignition (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area).
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (refer to Section 8) when responding to spills.
Spill Management:
Shut off source of leak if safe to do so. Dike and contain spill. 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 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.
Disposal:
Proper disposal should be evaluated based on regulatory status of this material (refer to Section 13), potential
contamination from subsequent use and spillage, and regulations governing disposal in the local area.
Reporting:
This material is covered by EPA's Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
(CERCLA) Petroleum Exclusion. Therefore, releases to the environment may not be reportable under
CERCLA. Notify authorities if any exposures to the general public or environment occurs or is likely to occur.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
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.
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 Protective Equipment
Eye Protection:
http://www.euapps.shell.com/MSDS/RetrieveMsds?whichView=printer 2/20/2003
Page 4 of 7
In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid eye contact.
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.
Published literature, test data and/or glove and clothing manufacturers indicate protection is provided by:
Nitrile Rubber
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.
