| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Flammable. | NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. | Water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, powder, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Above 40°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. | Above 40°C use a closed system, ventilation, and explosion-proof electrical equipment. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
| EXPOSURE | PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! | ||
| Inhalation | Dizziness. Headache. Drowsiness. Nausea. Unconsciousness. | Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Dry skin. | Protective gloves. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. |
| Eyes | Redness. | Safety goggles. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. |
| Ingestion | Cough. Diarrhoea. Sore throat. Vomiting. (Further see Inhalation). | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention. See Notes. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | Ventilation. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT wash away into sewer. (Extra personal protection: filter respirator for organic vapours of low boiling compounds.) | T Symbol R: 45-65 S: 53-45 Note: H, P UN Hazard Class: 3 UN Pack Group: III |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | STORAGE | Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-30G35 | Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants. Well closed. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS LIQUID Chemical dangers Occupational exposure limits |
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour and by ingestion. Inhalation risk Effects of short-term exposure Effects of long-term or repeated exposure |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | Boiling point: 155-217°C Melting point: 0°C Density: 0.76-0.79 g/cm³ Solubility in water: none Vapour pressure, kPa at 20°C: 0.1-0.3 Flash point: 40-62 °C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 255-270 °C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 0.7-6.0 |
The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. |
| NOTES | This is a mixture of C9-C13 naphthenes, iso- and n-paraffins. Neither the concentration of aromatics nor of hexane is greater than 0.1% by volume. Note P: the EU classification as carcinogen (R45) does not apply if it can be shown that the benzene content is below 0.1% by volume. Depending on the raw material and the production processes, the composition and physical properties of this solvent can vary considerably. The symptoms of chemical pneumonitis do not become manifest until a few hours or even a few days have passed. Exxsol D40 / D60, Shellsol D40 / D60, Hydrosol P 150 / 180, among others, are trade names. |
