SECTION 5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical are most suitable
SMALL FIRES: Any extinguisher suitable for Class B fires, dry chemical, C02, water spray,
firefighting foam, or Halon. Small fires in the incipient (beginning) stage may typically be
extinguished using handheld portable fire extinguishers and other firefighting equipment.
LARGE FIRES: Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical. Water may be ineffective for fighting
the fire, but may be used to cool fire- exposed containers.
Specific Hazards arising from the Moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame with a very low flash point. Product
substance or mixture is flammable and easily ignited when exposed to heat, spark, open flame or other source
of ignition. Flowing product may be ignited by self-generated static electricity. When mixed
with air and exposed to an ignition source, flammable vapors can burn in the open or
explode in confined spaces. Being heavier than air, vapors may travel long distances to an
ignition source and flash back. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or explosion hazard.
Combustion may produce smoke, carbon monoxide and other products of incomplete
combustion.
Special protective equipment for Isolate the area around container involved in fire Cool tanks, shells, and containers
fire fighters exposed to fire and excessive heat with water.
For massive fires the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles may be
advantageous to further minimize personnel exposure. Major fires may require
withdrawal, allowing the tank to burn. Large storage tank fires typically require specially
trained personnel and equipment to extinguish the fire, often including the need for
properly applied firefighting foam.
Additional Information Heat from fire can generate flammable vapor and it can burn in open or explode if confined
when mixed with air and exposed to ignition
Vapors are heavier than air and it may travel long distance along ground before igniting and
flashing back to vapor source
Fine sprays can be combustible at temperatures below normal flash point, Incomplete
combustion may produce carbon monoxide vapors
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective Due to high vapor density, flammable / toxic vapors may be present in low lying areas,
equipment and emergency dikes, pits, drains, or trenches. Vapors may accumulate in low lying areas and reach
procedures ignitable concentrations. Ventilate the area. Use of non-sparking tools and intrinsically safe
equipment is recommended. Potential for flammable atmosphere should be monitored
using a combustible gas indicator positioned downwind of the spill area. Refer to Sections
2 and 7 for further hazard warnings and handling instructions.
Use appropriate personal protective equipment to prevent eye/skin contact and
absorption. Use NIOSH approved respiratory protection, if warranted, to prevent
exposures above permissible limits. Refer to Section 8. Contaminated clothing should not
be near sources of ignition.
Environmental precautions Stop the spill to prevent environmental release if it can be done safely. Product is toxic to
aquatic life. Take action to isolate environmental receptors including drains, storm sewers
and natural water bodies. Keep on impervious surface if at all possible. Use water sparingly
to prevent product from spreading. Foam and absorbents may be used to reduce / prevent
airborne release.
Spills may infiltrate subsurface soil and groundwater; professional assistance may be
necessary to determine the extent of subsurface impact.
Follow federal, state or local

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Information on toxicological effects
Ingestion Swallowing of the liquid may cause aspiration in to the lungs with the risk of chemical
pneumonitis, serious consequences may result
Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual
Ingestion of petroleum hydrocarbons can irritate the pharynx, esophagus, stomach and
small intestine, and cause swellings and ulcers of the mucous. Symptoms include a burning
mouth and throat; larger amounts can cause nausea and vomiting, narcosis, weakness,
dizziness, slow and shallow breathing, abdominal swelling, unconsciousness and
convulsions
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial / industrial environments. The liquid
may produce gastrointestinal discomfort and may be harmful if swallowed
Inhaled Inhalation of vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be accompanied by
sleepiness, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack of co-ordination, and vertigo

ISSUE Date – 11/11/2019
Inhalation of aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during normal handling, may
be damaging to the health of the individual.
There is some evidence to suggest that the material can cause respiratory irritation in some
persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause further lung damage
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures
Inhaling high concentrations of mixed hydrocarbons can cause narcosis, with nausea,
vomiting and light-headedness.
Inhalation of high concentrations of gas/vapor causes lung irritation with coughing and
nausea, central nervous depression with headache and dizziness
Skin contact Repeated exposure may cause skin cracking, flaking or drying following normal handling and
use.
Skin contact with the material may damage the health of the individual; systemic effects
may result following absorption. There is some evidence to suggest that this material can
cause inflammation of the skin on contact in some persons. Open cuts, abraded or irritated
skin should not be exposed to this material
The liquid may be miscible with fats or oils and may degrease the skin, producing a skin
reaction described as non-allergic contact dermatitis. The material is unlikely to produce an
irritant dermatitis as described in EC Directives.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition
Entry into the blood-stream, though, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce
systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and
ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
Aromatic hydrocarbons may produce sensitivity and redness of the skin. They are not likely
to be absorbed into the body through the skin
Eye Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives), direct
contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterized by tearing or
conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
Not considered to be a risk because of the extreme volatility of the gas.
Chronic Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern
following repeated or long-term occupational exposure. Principal route of occupational
exposure to the gas is by inhalation.
Constant or exposure over long periods to mixed hydrocarbons may produce stupor with
dizziness, weakness and visual disturbance, weight loss and anemia, and reduced liver and
kidney function. Skin exposure may result in drying and cracking and redness of the skin
