Acute toxicity:
Safety data sheet
HEADLINE EC
Revision date : 2007/09/26 Page: 2/8
Version: 2.0 (30260263/MDS_CPA_US/EN)
Moderately toxic after single ingestion. Relatively nontoxic after short-term inhalation. Slightly toxic after
short-term skin contact.
Information on: Petroleum Distillates with Naphthalene
Acute overexposure to solvent naptha vapors may cause central nervous system effects, including
headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and confusion. Ingestion causes nausea, vomiting, blurred
vision, and CNS disorders. Aspiration of the liquid into the lungs may result in chemical
pneumonitis, which may be fatal. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis.
Ingestion results in cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, listlessness, bladder irritation and
brownish urine.
Inhalation may cause headache, confusion, and excitement.
Information on: Petroleum solvent
Inhalation of high vapor/aerosol concentrations are irritating to eyes and respiratory tract, may
cause headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness and other central nervous
system effects, including death.
Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal.
Slightly irritating to the eyes. Prolonged contact with skin may irritate and cause dermatitis. May
aggravate an existing skin condition. Inhalation of vapor/aerosol concentrations (> 1000 ppm) are
irritating to eyes and respiratory tract, may cause headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness,
unconsciousness and other central nervous system effects, including death. Small amounts
aspirated into the respiratory system during ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe
pulmonary injury, possibly progressing to death.
Irritation:
Causes substantial but temporary eye injury. May cause moderate irritation to the skin.
Repeated dose toxicity:
Information on: Petroleum Distillates with Naphthalene
Overexposure may cause liver and kidney toxicity.
Exposure by ingestion or inhalation may cause hemolysis, anemia, fever, hemoglobinuria, and
jaundice.
A National Toxicology Program (NTP) report states that a lifetime inhalation exposure produced
nasal tumors in rats.
A National Toxicology Program (NTP) report states that a lifetime inhalation exposure produced
lung tumors in female mice.
Potential environmental effects
Aquatic toxicity:
Very toxic (acute effect) to aquatic organisms.
Terrestrial toxicity:
With high probability not acutely harmful to terrestrial organisms.
4. First-aid measures
General advice:
First aid providers should wear personal protective equipment to prevent exposure. Remove contaminated
clothing. Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or ambulance, then give artificial
respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a poison control center or physician for treatment
advice. Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor or going
for treatment.
If inhaled:
Remove the affected individual into fresh air and keep the person calm.
If on skin:
Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 - 20 minutes.
If in eyes:
Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
present, after first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing.

If swallowed:
Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth if the victim is unconscious or having convulsions. Do not
induce vomiting. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow.
Note to physician
Hazards: Vomiting may cause aspiration pneumonia due to the ingredients. Because of
the increased risk of chemical pneumonia or pulmonary edema caused by
