4.HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
NATURE OF HAZARD:
INHALATION: Negligible hazard at normal temperatures (up to 38 deg. C). Elevated temperatures or mechanical action may form vapours, mists or fumes which may be irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Avoid breathing vapours or mists.
EYE CONTACT: Slightly irritating, but will not injure eye tissue.
SKIN CONTACT: Low toxicity. Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate the skin.
INGESTION: Low toxicity.
ACUTE TOXICITY DATA: Based on animal testing data from similar materials and prod- ucts, the acute toxicity of this product is expected to be:
Oral: | LD50 | > 5000 mg/kg (rat) |
Dermal: | LD50 | > 3160 mg/kg (rabbit) |
Inhalation: LC50 > 5000 mg/m3 (rat)
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT:
ACGIH recommends: For oil mists, 5 mg/m3. Local regulated limits may vary.
5. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Vapour pressure of this material is low and as such inhalation under nor- mal conditions is usually not a problem. If overexposed to oil mist, remove from further exposure. Administer artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Keep at rest. Call for prompt medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. If irrita- tion persists, get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Flush with large amounts of water. Use soap if available. Remove severely contaminated clothing (including shoes) and launder before reuse. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
INGESTION: If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Get prompt medical attention.
6. PREVENTIVE AND CORRECTIVE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTION: The selection of personal protective equipment varies, depending upon conditions of use. In open systems where contact is likely, wear safety goggles,
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control emissions near the source. Laboratory samples should be handled in a fume- hood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces.
Esso Sheet
HANDLING, STORAGE AND SHIPPING: Keep containers closed. Handle and open containers with care. Store in a cool, well ventilated place away from incompatible mate- rials. Do not handle or store near an open flame, sources of heat, or sources of ignition. Odorous and toxic fumes may form from the decomposition of this product if stored at temperatures in excess of 45 deg. C for extended periods of time or if heat sources in excess of 121 deg. C are used. Empty containers may contain product residue. Do not pressurize cut, heat, or weld empty containers. Do not reuse empty containers without commercial cleaning or reconditioning.
LAND SPILL: Eliminate source of ignition. Keep public away. Prevent additional dis- charge of material. If possible to do so without hazard. Prevent spills from entering sewers, watercourses or low areas. Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. Recover by pumping or by using a suitable absorbent. Consult an expert of disposal or recovered material. Ensure disposal in compliance with government requirements and ensure con- formity to local disposal regulations. Notify the appropriate authorities immediately. Take all additional action necessary to prevent and remedy the adverse effects of the spill.
WATER SPILL: Remove from surface by skimming or with suitable absorbants. If al- lowed by local authorities and environmental agencies, sinking and/or suitable disper- sants may be used in unconfined waters. Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material. Ensure disposal in compliance with government requirements and ensure con- formity to local disposal regulations. Notify the appropriate authorities immediately. Take all additional action necessary to prevent and remedy the adverse effects of the spill.
7.FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD Flashpoint and method: 178 deg. C COC D92
Autoignition: NA | Flammable Limits: LEL: NA | UEL: NA |
GENERAL HAZARDS: |
|
|
Low hazard; liquids may burn upon heating to temperatures at or above the flash point. Decomposes; flammable/toxic gases will form at elevated temperatures (thermal de- composition). Toxic gases will form upon combustion.
FIRE FIGHTING: Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect person- nel. Shut off fuel to fire.
Use foam, dry chemical or water spray to extinguish fire. Respiratory and eye protection required for fire fighting personnel. Avoid spraying water directly into storage contain- ers due to danger of boilover. A
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and traces of oxides of sulphur. Alkyl mercaptans and sulfides may also be released.
8. REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: This product is stable. Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS AND CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Strong oxidizing agents.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION: Smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of sulphur and phosphorus. Alkyl mercaptans and sulfides may also be released.
