III. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
ROUTE OF ENTRY Ingestion: Yes
Inhalation: Yes
Skin Yes
Contact:
Eye Contact: Yes
Skin Absorption: Yes
Inhalation: High vapour/aerosol concentrations (attainable at elevated temperatures
well above ambient) are irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract,
and may cause headaches, dizziness, anaesthesia, drowsiness,
unconsciousness, and other central nervous system effects, including
death
May cause eye irritation but will not injure eye tissue.
TRADE NAME: SFTM-770
Eye: Low toxicity.
Skin: Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate the skin and cause a skin rash
(dermatitis). Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis condition.
Minimal toxicity.
Small amounts of liquid aspirated into the respiratory system during
Ingestion:
ingestion or from vomiting may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury and
possibly death.
TM
If SynFrac 770 is aspirated into the lungs, severe lung damage or death may
result.
Chronic: This product contains ethylbenzene. The International Agency for Research
on Cancer has evaluated ethylbenzene and classified it as a possible human
carcinogen (Group 2B) based on sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in
experimental animals, but inadequate evidence for cancer in exposed humans.
This product contains naphthalene. The International Agency for Research on
Cancer evaluated naphthalene and concluded that there was sufficient
evidence for carcinogenicity in experimental animals, but inadequate
evidence for cancer in exposed humans. Accordingly, IARC classified
naphthalene as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B).
High exposures to xylenes in some animal studies have been reported to cause
health effects on the developing embryo/fetus. These effects were often at
levels toxic to the mother. The significance of these findings to humans has
not been determined.
Special Health Health studies have shown that many petroleum hydrocarbons pose potential
Precautions: human health risks which may vary from person to person. As a precaution,
exposure to liquids, vapors, mists or fumes should be minimized.
IV. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air, apply artificial respiration and CPR if needed.
Immediately contact physician.
Eye Contact: Flush with water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Hold eyelids open to ensure
effective cleansing. Contact physician.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Flush area with water and soap for at least 20
minutes. Contact physician.
Ingestion: Contact physician. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs have victim lean
forward to reduce risk of aspiration.
Special Procedures: Consult physician and/or Poison Control Centre for all exposures except minor
instances of inhalation or skin contact.
V. PROTECTIVE MEASURES

TRADE NAME: SFTM-770
Respiratory Depends on airborne concentration; should all be NIOSH approved, half-face
Protection: or full face organic vapor cartridge respirator or self-contained breathing
apparatus.
Protective Equipment Neoprene or nitrile gloves should be worn if contact likely. Long sleeved
/ Clothing: clothing should be worn to minimize skin contact. A neoprene or nitrile rain suit
may be needed in certain situations (ie: tank cleaning).
Eye Protection: Monogoggles and/or full face shield if splashing is likely.
ELECTROSTATIC Yes, use proper ground procedure.
ACCUMULATION Additional information regarding safe handling of products with static
HAZARD: accumulation potential can be ordered by contacting the American Petroleum
Institute (API
Engineering Controls: Adequate ventilation to ensure that atmospheric concentrations do not exceed
the Occupational Exposure Limits.
VI. LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURE
Leak and Spill Use full protective equipment. Eliminate ignition sources. Contain spill with
Procedure: inert absorbent (dry clay, sand). DO NOT use combustible material such as
sawdust. Place used absorbent in closed metal container.
Waste Disposal: Comply with Provincial and Federal regulations.
Storage: Small quantities should be stored in an approved safety solvent container which
is stored in a fire-resistant grounded cabinet vented to the atmosphere.
Storage tanks should be electrically grounded and vented to the atmosphere.
A containment dike should be build around tank.
Special Shipping None known.
