EMERGENCY OVERVIEW - IMMEDIATE HAZARD
POISON! DANGER! UNDILUTED COMPONENTS CAUSE BURNS TO ANY AREA OF CONTACT. MAY BE FATAL IF
SWALLOWED. HARMFUL IF INHALED. CONTACT WITH OTHER MATERIALS MAY CAUSE FIRE.
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW - CHRONIC HAZARD WARNING
REPEATED APPLICATION OF INGESTION OF COMPONENTS OF REAGENT A CAUSES A PERMANENT
BLUISH DISCOLORATION OF THE SKIN, CONJUCTIVA, AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES. REPEATED
INHALATION MAY CAUSE LUNG DISEASE.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
INHALATION
SLIGHTLY TOXIC. Breathing of the mists, vapors or fumes may irritate the nose, throat, and lungs. May
cause central nervous system depression or effects. May cause cardiac sensitization, including arrhythmias
(irregular heart beats) and death due to cardiac arrest. Chronic exposure to high doses may damage the
peripheral nerves, resulting in numbness or tingling in the extremities. See also "Reproductive Toxicity" and
"Target Organ Statement" for further special toxic effects.
INGESTION
MODERATELY TOXIC. May cause irritation of the mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract. Aspiration into
lungs may cause chemical pneumonia and lung damage. Aspiration symptoms may be delayed in onset by
up to 24 hours. Exposure may also cause central nervous system symptoms similar to those listed under
"Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure - Inhalation." See also "Reproductive Toxicity" and "Target Organ
Statement" for further special toxic effects.
SKIN
SLIGHTLY IRRITATING. Contact may cause reddening, itching and inflammation. Repeated or prolonged
skin contact may cause reddening, itching and inflammation. Defatting agent.
EYES
SLIGHTLY IRRITATING. Exposure to vapors, fumes or mists may cause irritation. Direct contact may cause
irritation, redness, tearing, and blurred vision. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause irritation and
conjunctivitis.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS 0F OVEREXPOSURE
INHALATION
Page 1 In-Flow 2
Symptoms may include sore throat, coughing, labored breathing, sneezing and burning sensation, depending
on the concentration and duration of exposure. If CNS depression or effects occur, symptoms include
headache, excitation, euphoria, dizziness, incoordination, drowsiness, light-headedness, blurred vision,
fatigue, tremors, confulsions, loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest and death, depending on the
concentration and duration of exposure.
INGESTION
Ingestion symptoms may include salivation, pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Exposure may also cause
central nervous system symptoms similar to those listed under "Inhalation"
SKIN
Reddening, itching, and inflammation.
EYES
Irritation, redness, tearing, and blurred vision.
CARCINOGENICITY
Benzene, a known carcinogen, may be present in trace amounts, less than 50 ppm. Otherwise, there are no
known or anticipated carcinogens present in Naphtha.
MUTAGENICITY
No information available.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY
This product contains components which may cause adverse reproductive effects. Pregnant women may be
at an increased risk from exposure. Consumption of alcoholic beverages may enhance toxic effects.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS
This product contains components which may cause adverse developmental effects. Pregnant women may
be at an increased risk from exposure. Consumption of alcoholic beverages may enhance toxic effects.
ROUTES OF ENTRY
Inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact.
TARGET ORGAN STATEMENT
Acute or chronic overexposure to this material or its components may cause systemic toxicity, including
adverse effects to the following: kidney, liver, spleen, adrenals, thymus and central nervous system. Pre-
existing medical conditions which may be aggravated by exposure include disorders of the skin, kidney, liver,
cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a
physician.
INGESTION:
Do not induce vomiting. If swallowed and the person is conscious, immediately give large amounts of water. Get
medical attention.
SKIN:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
EYES:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least fifteen minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally.
Get medical attention immediately.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
124 F ND
FLASH POINT: FLAMMABLE LIMITS:
TCC 865.4 F
FLASH POINT METHOD: AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE:
Page 2 In-Flow 2
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide. (Water may be ineffective.)
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Thermal decomposition products may include toxic oxides of nitrogen, sulfur, and carbon.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Flammable liquid. Vapor forms explosive mixtures with air. Vapor may travel considerable distances to ignition source
and flash back.
NFPA CODES: Health: 1 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 0
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Isolate hazard area and deny entry. Keep ignition sources out of area and shut off all ignition sources. Absorb spill
with inert material (e.g. dry sand or earth) then place in a chemical waste container.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
Disposal must be made in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Wear appropriate protective equipment as specified in section 8.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Avoid contact and inhalation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Transfer
methods should avoid static sparks. Use explosion proof ventilation.
STORAGE
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cooled, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat or ignition.
Protect from physical damage. Isolate from incompatible materials (section 10).
STORAGE TEMPERATURE: Room Temperature
DISPOSAL
Observe all national, state, and local regulations regarding product disposal. Containers of this material may be
hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquids).
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS:
Solvent Naphtha, Light Aromatic
Component:
50 ppm
ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborn
Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the
contaminant at its source.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
If the exposure limit is exceeded, wear a supplied air, full-facepiece respirator, airlined hood, or full-facepiece self-
contained breathing apparatus.
EYE PROTECTION
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and
quick-drench facilities in work area.
Page 3 In-Flow 2
SKIN PROTECTION
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to
prevent skin contact.
