Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: EYE: SLIGHT TO MODERATE EYE
IRRITATION. SKIN: MODERATELY TO EXTREMELY IRRITATING. INHALATION:
INHALATION CAN BE IRRITATING TO THE MUCOUS MEMBRANE AND RESPIRATORY
TRACT. INGESTION: GASTRIC IRRIT ATION. ASPIRATION HAZARD IF
VOMITING OCCURS. CHRONIC: PROLONGED AND REPEATED SKIN CONTACT MAY
CAUSE DERMATITIS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE PROVIDED BY MFRS.
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN: REDNESS, DRYING TO BURNS OR BLISTERING OF
SKIN. INHALATION: WILL PRODUCE SYMPTOMS OF INTOXICATION SUCH AS
HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING, LOSS OF COORDINATION.
INGESTION: ABDOMINAL PAIN, MILD EXCITATION, LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS,
CONVULSION, 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 OPHTHALMOLOGIST. SKIN: COOL THE EXPOSED
AREA IMM EDIATELY. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH AFFECTED
AREAS WITH SOAP AND WATER. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FREAH AIR. IF
BREATHING HAS STOPPED, APPPLY ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION. INGEST ION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF SPONTANEOUS
VOMITING OCCURS, HOLD THE VICTIMS HEAD LOWER THAN THEIR HIPS TO

Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, FORM CARBON DIOXIDE, AND WATER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE A WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED
CONTAINERS. USE A SMOTHERING TECHNIQUE FOR EXTINGUISHING FIRES OF
THIS COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID. DO NOT USE A FORCE WATER STREAM DIRECTLY
ON OIL FIRES AS THIS WILL TEN D 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.

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE SOURCES 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 FLUSH TO SEWERS OR 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 CAN 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; THE Y MAY EXPLODE AND CUASE INJURY OR DEATH.

Respiratory Protection:USE APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
FOR CLEANING LARGE SPILLS OR ENTRY INTO LARGE TANKS, VESSELS OR
OTHER CONFINED SPACES.
