REACTIVITY DATA STABLE: X UNSTABLE | Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide may be formed from incomplete combustion. Condition to Avoid: Oxidizing materials, heat, flame. Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur V. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA —- LFL; Less Than 1 UFL: 8 | Flash Point (Method used): As low as -50°F (TCC) Handle and store in accordance with NFPA procedure for Class 1 A Flammable Liquid. Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Water may be ineffective to extinguish, but water should be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors and to protect personnel attempting to stop a leak. Water spray may be used to flush spills away from exposure. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Highly flammable. Products of combustion may contain carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other toxic materials. Do not enter enclosed or confined space without proper protective equipment including respiratory protection. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Classification HAZARD RATING Health 1 Fire 3 Reactivity 0 Least-—0O Slight-1 Moderate-2 High-3 Ext reme-4 TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE DOT HAZARD CLASS: Flammable Liquid | Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing: Product is Class 1-A Flammable Liquid per NFPA Code No. 30-1984. Store and handle accordingly. Shipping Paper Description: Gasoline, flammable liquid, UN 1203 Placard: Flammable D.O.T. Label: Flammable Liquid OSHA label: DANGER, CONTAINS BENZENE, CANCER HAZARD Minimize exposure: Product contains hydrocarbons which may cause irritation to eyes, skin and lungs after prolonged or repeated exposure. The product may also be toxic to the liver, kidney, blood, and blood-forming tissues. The use in poorly ventilated areas may cause dizziness, weakness, confusion, or unconsciousness. Aspiration into the lungs may cause pneumonia. Middle distillates similar to this product have been shown to cause skin cancer in animal skin painting studies when the distillates were repeatedly applied and not washed from the skin. FIRST AID: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after contact. Avoid ignition sources. Vit. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION | PEL Benzene: TWA,1 ppm; STEL, 5ppm TLV Gasoline: TWA,300 ppm; STEL,500 ppm; Benzene: TWA,10 ppm Ceiling Value Not Established DuPont AEL Benzene: TWA,10 ppm Primary Routes of Exposure/Entry: Inhalation, Skin. Signs and Symptoms of Exposure/Medical Conditions aggravated by Exposure: Studies with rats or mice have shown that some petroleum distillates have caused either damage or tumors of the kidneys or tumors of the liver. However, kidney effects were not seen in similar studies involving guinea pigs, dogs, or monkeys. Also, the significance of the liver tumors in rodents is highly speculative. Mouse skin painting studies have shown that petroleum middle distillates (boiling range of 100-700°F; gasoline, naphtha, jet fuel, diesel fuel, etc.) can cause skin cancer when repeated applied and never washed from the animal's skin. The relative significance of this to human health is uncertain since the petroleum distillates were not washed from the skin and the resulting skin effects (irritation, cell damage, etc.) may play a role in the tumorigenic response. A few studies have indicated that workers exposed many years to high concentrations of benzene have a slightly higher incidence of leukemia. Benzene can also be toxic to the blood and blood-forming tissues. The product contains petroleum hydrocarbons which may cause irritation to eyes, skin, and lungs after prolonged or repeated exposure. Extreme exposure Or aspiration into the lungs may cause pneumonia. Overexposure may cause weakness, headache, nausea, confusion, burred vision, drowsiness, and other nervous system effects; greater exposure may cause dizziness, slurred speech, flushed face, unconsciousness, or convulsions.
