MSDS No.: SLPS300
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen (To be
administered by qualified medical personnel only!) Keep victim at rest. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give water with a teaspoon of table salt (NaCl). (Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person!) Aspiration hazard. Keep victim at rest. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention.
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Do not allow victim to
rub or keep eyes closed. Get medical aid immediately.
Other Health Warnings:
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: 81 F Lower Explosive Limit: 1.9 Upper Explosive Limit: 12.3
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Water may be used to cool fire-exposed containers. Avoid
spraying directly into containers due to danger of boilover.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
Material can accumulate static charges which can cause an incendiary electrical discharge. Vapors from this product may travel
some distance from original point to an ignition source and flash back.
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Wear vapor respirator, safety goggles, and rubber gloves. Remove sources of ignition (i.e. open flames, sparks). Prevent
additional discharge of material, if possible to do so without risk. Dike area. Soak up with inert absorbent material (sand or earth
recommended; do not use flammable substances such as sawdust). Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Keep in closed container. Protect from direct sunlight. Avoid all ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid incompatible
materials. Electrically bond and ground all containers and equipment before transfer or use of material. Use only in well-ventilated
areas. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Other Precautions:
Material will accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source).
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection:
Ventilation Requirements:
Use only in well-ventilated areas.

XI. Toxicological Information:
A draft report on a study conducted by the National Toxicology Program states that a lifetime inhalation of rats and mice to
concentrations of ethyl benzene (750 ppm) resulted in increases in certain types of cancer, including kidney tumors in rats and lung
and liver tumors in mice. These effects were not observed in animals exposed to lower concentrations of ethyl benzene (75 ppm or
250 ppm). The draft report does not address the relevance of these results to humans.
XII. Ecological Information:
Prevent from entering sewers or waterways. May be toxic to some aquatic life.
Discharge or spills which produce a visible sheen on either surface water, or in waterways/sewers which lead to surface water, must
be reported to the National Response Center at 800-424-8802.
The xylene-ethyl benzene product, as sold, is derived from a fraction of crude oil and is excluded from the spill reporting
requirements of CERCLA Section 101(14)(F). When this product is used in a mixture, or as an ingredient in another product, or in a
manufacturing operation, the petroleum exclusion may terminate and an accidental spill may require reporting to the National
Response Center at 800-424-8802.
XIII. Disposal Considerations:
Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.

XVI. Other Information:
This product contains STADIS 450 Conductivity Improver. Typical additive concentration is 10 mL additive per 1,000 gallons of
product. STADIS 450 has a reported shelf life of 10 years with no loss of conductivity-improving effectiveness. However, since
product history/age is not always known, and unique conditions may occur which unknowingly impact the effectiveness of the
additive, safe handling procedures and precautions should continue to be followed. Materials which may have a static accumulation
hazard should be handled in accordance with guidance provided in NFPA Publication 77 or API Recommended Practice 2003 to
ensure adequate protection to workers and facilities.
Using this product under normal, properly instructed procedures should not be hazardous.
