Hazard statements
Text R18 In use, may form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture. R52/53 Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Health risk Spillage of product can cause slippery surfaces (floor, road etc.) The product releases pentane that can cause drowsiness and dizziness. Safety risk The product releases pentane, a flammable hydrocarbon. By use and storage flammable/explosive mixtures of pentane/air can be formed.
Environmental hazards
Pentane is harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in aquatic environments. The product releases pentane in use. Pentane is a hydrocarbon that can create ground level ozone via a photochemical process. This process is however so slow (pentane half life of 5 days), that dilution by winds mean that this does not represent any significant threat to plant, animals or humans.
