Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: MILD EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION,
HARMFUL IF INHALED, MAY BE HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN, MAY
CAUSE DIZZINESS AND DROWSINESS, ASPIRATION HAZARD IF SWALLOWED.
CHRONIC: DERMATITIS, DEGENERATIVE CHANGES IN LIVER AND KIDNEYS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT APPLICABLE. NIOSH RECOMMENDS THAT
WHOLE DIESEL EXHAUST BE REGARDED AS A POTENTIAL OCCUPATIONAL
CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: COUGHING, WHEEZING, SHORTNESS OF
BREATH, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING, HEADACHE. EYES: REDNESS,
TEARING, BLURRED VISION, DISCOMFORT. SKIN: REDNESS, BLISTERING,
SWELLING. INGESTION: NAUSEA, DIARRHEA, VOMITING, ABDOMINAL
DISCOMFORT.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SKIN CONTACT MAY AGGRAVATE AN
EXISTING DERMATITIS.

First Aid:EYE: FLUSH WITH LOTS OF WATER 15 MINUTES. SEE DOCTOR. SKIN:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING, FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALED: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. RESUSCITATE OR
GIVE OXY GEN IF NEEDED THEN GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTED: DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITING. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF ANY IRRITATION PESISTS
OR IS SEVERE, GET MEDICAL CARE.

Extinguishing Media:FOAM, CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL, WATER FOG.
WATER OR FOAM MAY CAUSE FROTHING.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS,
ESPECIALLY IN ENCLOSED AREAS. WATER SPRAY MAY BE USED TO COOL FIRE
EXPOSED CONTAINERS AND EQUIPMENT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS HEAVIER THAN AIR. CAN TRAVEL A
LONG DISTANCE ALONG GROUND AND FLASHBACK. CONTAINERS CAN EXPLODE
WITH HEAT OF FIRE.

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA. AVOID BREATHING VAPOR. USE
SCBA OR SUPPLIED AIR IN CONFINED AREAS. CONTAIN SPILL. WIPE UP OR
ABSORB ON SUITABLE MATERIAL AND SHOVEL UP. PREVENT ENTRY INTO
SEWERS AND WATERWAYS. AVOID C ONTACT WITH SKIN, EYES, CLOTHING.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, FLAMES OR
OXIDIZERS. KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
NEVER SYPHON BY MOUTH.
Other Precautions:FOR USE AS A MOTOR FUEL ONLY. NOT FOR USE IN SPACE
HEATERS OR AGRICULTURAL SPRAYS. "EMPTY" CONTAINERS CAN BE
HAZARDOUS. DO NOT CUT OR WELD. DO NOT PRESSURIZE OR EXPOSE TO OPEN
FLAME OR HEAT. EXPLOSION MAY OCCUR.

Respiratory Protection:NONE NORMALLY REQUIRED. USE SCBA OR SUPPLIED AIR
RESPIRATOR IF A LARGE SPILL OCCURS OR SPILL IS IN CONFINED SPACE OR
ENCLOSED AREA.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED IF GENERATING MIST OR VAPOR,
PARTICULARY IN ENCLOSED AREAS.
Protective Gloves:NITRILE GLOVES.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL-TYPE GOGGLES OR FACESHIELD.
Other Protective Equipment:PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SUCH AS UNIFORMS OR
COVERALLS. EYE WASH AND SAFETY SHOWER.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. DRY CLEANING OF
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING MAY BE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN NORMAL LAUNDERING.
