Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:** NOTE: THIS PRODUCT HAS NOT BEEN
TESTED BY COASTAL CORPORATION TO DTERMINE ITS SPECIFIC HEALTH
HAZARDS. THEREFORE, THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION
INCLUDES HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION ON THE PRODUCT COMPONENTS.
ACUTE: EYE- SLIGHTLY TO MODERATELY IRRITATING. SKIN- MODERATELY
IRRITATING. INHALATION- IRRITATING TO MUCOUS MEMBRANES, &
RESPIRATORY TRACT. INGESTION-CAN BE IRRITATING TO THE MOUT H,
THROAT, & DIGESTIVE TRACT. ASPIRATION INTO THE LUNGS MAY CAUSE
HEMORRHAGING, PULMONARY EDEME & CHEMICAL PNEUMONITIS. CHRONIC: MAY
CAUSE REDUCTION OF ERTHROCYTES, BONE MARROW HYPOPLASIA, & CHANGES I
N FORMED ELEMENTS OF THE BLOOD.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:IMIDDLE DISTILLATES HAVE CAUSED SKIN
CANCER & KIDNEY DAMAGE IN LAB ANIMALS. IARC HAS DETERMINED THERE IS
SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE OF CARCINOGENICITY IN HUMANS. INHALATION OF
JP-8 BY PREGNANT LAB RATS HAS C AUSED REDUCTION IN FETAL BODY
WEIGHT.
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN: MAY CAUSE REDNESS AND DRYING OF THE SKIN.
INHALATION: MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING, LOSS
OF COORDINATION, LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. INGESTION: MAY CAUSE
DROWSINESS, AND DAMAGE TO THE LIVER AND KIDNEY.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:MAY AGGRAVATE PRE-EXISTING
DERMATITIS.

First Aid:EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF
WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, INCLUDING UNDER THE EYELIDS.
CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY, PREFERABLY AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST.
SKIN: IMMEDIATELY REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. WASH
AFFECTED AREAS WITH SOAP AND WATER. CONATCT A PHYSICIAN IF
REDDENING OR BLISTERING OCCURS. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.
APPLY ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION I F NOT BREATHING. SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF SPONTANEOUS
VOMITING OCCURS HOLD THE VICTIMS HEAD LOWER THAN THEIR HIPS TO
PREVENT ASPIRATION. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Flash Point:=37.8C, 100.F
Autoignition Temp:=246.1C, 475.F
Lower Limits:0.7
Upper Limits:5.0
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, WATER SPRAY.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE A WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED
CONTAINERS. USE A SMOTHERING TECHNIQUE FOR EXTINGUISHING FIRE. DO
NOT USE A FORCED WATER STREAM DIRECTLY ON PETROLEUM FIRES AS THIS
MAY SCATTER THE FIRE. FIREFIG HTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLOWING FUEL CAN BE IGNITED BY
SELF-GENERATED STATIC ELECTRICITY; CONTAINERS SHOULD BE GROUNDED
AND BONDED.

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE SOURCES OF HEAT OR IGNITION INCLUDING
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES AND POWER TOOLS. CLEAN UP SPILL, BUT DO
NOT FLUSH TO SEWER OR TO SURFACE WATER. VENTILATE AREA AND AVOID
BREATHING VAPORS OR MI STS.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL, DRY AREA AWAY FROM
INCOMPATIBLE SOURCES OF HEAT AND IGNITION. GROUND AND BOND ALL
TRANSFER AND STORAGE EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT STATIC SPARKS AND EQUIP
WITH SELF-CLOSING VALVES, PRESSURE V ACUUM BUNGS AND FLAME
ARRESTORS.
Other Precautions:DO NOT WELD, HEAT OR DRILL CONTAINER. EMPTY
CONTAINERS MAY CONDAIN RESIDUE (LIQUID AND/OR VAPOR) AND CAN BE
DANGEROUS.

Respiratory Protection:USE APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IN
SITUTATIONS WHERE AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS MAY EXCEED EXCEED
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Ventilation:PROVIDE ADEQUATE GENERAL AND LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO
MAINTAIN AIRBORNE CHEMICAL CONCENTRATIONS BELOW APPLICABLE EXPOSURE
LIMITS. .
Protective Gloves:WEAR IMPERVIOUS GLOVES WHEN CONTACT WITH SKIN MAY
OCCUR.
Eye Protection:REMOVE CONTACT LENSES AND WEAR CHEMICAL SAFETY GLASSES
OR GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR CHEMICAL RESISTANT APRON, LONG SLEEVES,
BOOTS AND FACE SHIELD WHEN HANDLING LARGE AMOUNTS OF PRODUCT.
