TYPES OF
HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE |
Flammable.
|
NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking.
|
Powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide.
|
| EXPLOSION |
Above 37°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.
|
Above 37°C use a closed system, ventilation, and explosion-proof electrical equipment. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding).
|
In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
|

| EXPOSURE |
|
PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS!
|
|
| Inhalation |
Confusion. Cough. Dizziness. Headache. Sore throat. Unconsciousness.
|
Ventilation.
|
Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration if indicated. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Skin |
Dry skin. Roughness.
|
Protective gloves.
|
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Eyes |
Redness.
|
Safety spectacles.
|
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
|
| Ingestion |
Diarrhoea. Nausea. Vomiting.
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
|
Do NOT induce vomiting. Rest. Refer for medical attention.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment (extra personal protection: self-contained breathing apparatus).

| IMPORTANT DATA | |
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
LOW VISCOSITY LIQUID , WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. PHYSICAL DANGERS: As a result of flow, agitation, etc., electrostatic charges can be generated. CHEMICAL DANGERS: Reacts with oxidants. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration in the air is reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance slightly irritates the skin and the respiratory tract. Swallowing the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis. The substance may cause effects on the nervous system. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The liquid defats the skin. |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |
|
Boiling point: 150-300°C
Melting point: -20°C Relative density (water = 1): 0.8 Solubility in water: none Relative vapour density (air = 1): 4.5 |
Flash point: 37-65°C
Auto-ignition temperature: 220°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 0.7-5 |
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |
|
The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms.
|
| NOTES | |
|
Physical properties vary, depending on the composition. Ingestion of kerosene (lamp oil) is a major cause of accidental poisoning in children.
