TESTED BY COASTAL CORPORATION TO DTERMINE ITS SPECIFIC HEALTH
HAZARDS. THEREFORE, THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION
INCLUDES HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION ON THE P RODUCT COMPONENTS.
ACUTE: EYE: SLIGHT TO MODERATE EYE IRRITATION. SKIN: MODERATELY TO
EXTREMELY IRRITATING. INHALATION: INHALATION CAN BE IRRITATING TO
THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. INGE STION: STOMACH
IRRITATION. ASPIRATION HAZARD IF VOMITING OCCURS. CHRONIC:
PROLONGED AND REPEATED SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE DERMATITIS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:MIDDLE DISTILLATES HAVE CAUSED SKIN
CANCER & KIDNEY DAMAGE IN LAB ANIMALS. NIOSH, BASED ON FINDINGS OF
CARCINOGENIC & TUMORIGENIC RESPONSES OF MICE & RATS EXPOSD TO WHOLE
DIESEL EXHAUST, RECOMMENDS TH AT WHOLE EXHAUST BE REGARDED AS A
POTENTIAL OCCUPATIONAL CARCINOGE?.
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN: REDNESS, DRYING TO BURNS OR BLISTERING OF
THE SKIN. INHALATION: WILL PRODUCE SYMPTOMS OF INTOXICATION SUCH AS
HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING, LOSS OF COORDINATION.
INGESTION: GASTRITIS, M ILD EXCITATION, LOSS OF ONCSCIOUSNESS,
CONVULSIONS, CYANOSIS, CONGESTION AND CAPILLARY HEMORRHAGING OF THE
LUNG AND INTERNAL ORGANS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:MAY AGGRAVATE PRE-EXISTING
DERMATITIS.

First Aid:EYE: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT
LEAST 15 MINUTES, INCLUDING UNDER THE EYELIDS. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY, PREFERABLY AN OPTHALOMOLOGIST. SKIN: COON THE EXPOSED
AREA IMM EDIATELY. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH AFFECTED
AREAS WITH SOAP AND WATER. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF
BREATHING HAS STOPPED, APPLY ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION. INGESTI ON: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF SPONTANEOUS
VOMITING OCCURS, HOLD THE VICTIMS HEAD LOWER THAN THEIR HIPS TO
PREVENT ASPIRATION.

Flash Point Method:COC
Flash Point:=62.8C, 145.F
Autoignition Temp:=257.2C, 495.F
Lower Limits:0.52
Upper Limits:7.5
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, CARBON DIOXIDE AND WATER SPRAY.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE A WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED
CONTAINERS. USE A SMOTHERING TECHNIQUE FOR EXTINGUISHING FIRE OF
THIS COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID. DO NOT USE A FORCE WATER STREAM DIRECTLY
ON OIL FIRES AS THIS WILL TEND TO SCATTER THE FIRE. FIREFIGHTERS
SHOULD WEAR SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLOWING OIL CAN BE IGNITED BY
SELF-GENERATED STATIC ELECTRICITY; CHECK FOR COMBUSTIBLE VAPORS
PRIOR TO AND DURING WELDING AND TORCH CUTTING ON TANKS AND VESSELS.

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE SOURCE OF HEAT OR IGNITION INCLUDING
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES AND POWER TOOLS. REMOVE SPILL WITH
VACUUM TRUCKS OR PUMP AND SOAK UP RESIDUE WITH AN INERT ABSORBENT.
DO NOT FULSH TO SEWERS OF SURFACE WATER. VENTILATE AREA AND AVOID
BREATHING VAPORS OR MISTS.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINERS IN
A DRY, COOL PLACE, AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE SUBSTANCES OR SOURCES OF
HEAT OR IGNITION. GROUND AND BOND ALL TRANSFER AND STORAGE
EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT STATIC SPARKS A ND EQUIP WITH SELF-CLOSING
VALVES, PRESSURE VACUUM BUNGS AND FLAME ARRESTORS.
Other Precautions:EMPTY CONTAINERS MAY CONTAIN RESIDUE AND CAN BE
DANGEROUS. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL,
GRIND OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME SPARKS OR OTHER
SOURCES OF IGNITION; THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.

Respiratory Protection:USE APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
FOR CLEANING LARGE SPILLS OR ENTRY INTO TANKS, VESSELS OR OTHER
CONFINED SPACES.
Ventilation:PROVIDE ADEQUATE GENERAL AND LOCAL VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN
AIRBORNE CHEMICAL CONCENTRATIONS BELOW APPLICALBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:WEAR IMPERVIOUS GLOVES WHEN CONTACT WITH SKIN MAY
OCCUR.
Eye Protection:REMOVE CONTACT LENSES AND WEAR CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES
OR GOGGLES.
Work Hygienic Practices:LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING PRIOR TO REUSE.
