Section IV - Health Hazard Data
Includes aggravated medical conditions, if established.
Effects of Overexposure: Eye irritation. Skin irritation. Respiratory irriation, dizziness, nausea, loss of
consciousness. Prolonged repeated skin contact with low viscosity materials may defat the skin
resulting in possible irritation and dermatitis.
Section V - Emergency and First Aid Procedures
For Primary Routes of Entry
Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical assistance.
Skin Contact: Wash contact areas with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Launder
contaminated clothing before reuse. Do not wear ordinary clothing wet with this product.
Inhalation: Remove from further exposure. If respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, or
unconsciousness occurs, seek immediate medical assistance and call a physician. If
breathing has stopped, use mouth to mouth resuscitation.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. (Note to Physicians: Material if aspirated into the lungs may
cause chemical pneumonitis. Treat appropriately0. Get medical assistance
Section VI - Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point F (C): > 130 (54) (ASTM D-56)
Flammable Limits: LEL: NE UEL: NE
Extinguishing Media: carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical and water fog.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Use water to keep fire exposed containers cool. If a leak or
spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors and to protect personnel
attempting to stop leak. Water spray may be used to flush spills away from exposures.
.
Special Protective Equipment: For fires in enclosed areas, fire fighters must use self-contained
breathing apparatus.
Unusual Fire and Explosion hazards: Material is combustible.
NFPA Hazard ID: Health: 0, Flammability: 2, Reactivity: 0
Section VII - Reactivity Data
Stability (Thermal, Light, etc.): Stable
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, sparks, flame and build up of static electricity.
Incompatibility: (Materials to Avoid): Strong oxidizers.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Section VIII - Spill or Leak Procedure
Environmental Impact: In case of accident or road spill notify CHEMTREC (800) 424-9300. Report
as required to appropriate authorities. U. S. Coast Guard regulations require immediate
reporting of spills that could reach any waterway including intermittent dry creeks. Report spill
to Coast Guard toll free number (800) 424-8802.

Procedures if Material is Released or Spilled: Absorb on fire retardant treated sawdust,
distomaceous earth, etc. Shovel up and dispose of at an appropriate waste disposal facility in
accordance with current applicable laws and regulations, and product characteristics at time of
disposal.
Waste Management: The product is suitable for processing by an approved recycling facility or
can be disposed of at any government approved waste disposal facility. Use of these methods
is subject to user compliance with applicable laws and regulations and consideration of product
characteristics at time of disposal.
Section IX - Special Protection Information
Eye Protection: Chemical type goggles should be worn.
Skin Protection: Impervious gloves should be worn.
Respiratory Protection: Approved respiratory protective equipment must be used in high vapor or
mist concentrations.
Ventilation: Use in well ventilated area. Ventilation desirable and equipment should be explosion
proof.
Section X - Special Precautions
Handling: Avoid inhalation of vapors. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid contact with skin.
Storage: Store in a cool area.
Materials Must be Labeled as Follows: Combustible. May cause skin irritation. May cause eye
irritation. See Appendix for Precautionary Label: FL-128
Section XI - Toxicological Data
Acute Toxicology
Oral Toxicity (Rats): Practically non-toxic (LD50: greater than 2000 mg/kg). Based on testing of
similar products and/or the components.
Dermal toxicity (Rabbits): Practically non-toxic (LD50: greater than 2000 mg/kg). Based on testing
of similar products and/or the components.
Inhalation Toxicity (Rats): Not established.
Eye Irritation (Rabbits): Irritant. (Draize score: greater than 15 but 35 or less). Based on testing of
similar products and/or the components.
Skin Irritation (Rabbits): Irritant. (Primary Irriation Index: 3 or greater but less than 5). Based on
testing of similar products and/or the components.
Chronic Toxicology (Summary)
Certain straight-run middle distillated have ben found to product skin tumors in laboratory mouse
skin-painting tests, but these have usually been associated with a high level of skin irritation.
The lab has conducted test that determined that the irriation produces the tumors. Therefore,
if the precautions outlined in this bulletin are followed to minimize repeated or prolonged skin
contact which could cause irritation, these oils should pose no carcinogenic hazard to humans.
Prologed repeated skin contact with low viscosity materials may defat the skin resulting in

possible irritation and dermatitis.
