Appearance/Odor
Aromatic. Clear to white liquid
Health hazards
Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Harmful may cause lung damage if swallowed. Safety Hazards: Combustible liquid. Vapours are heavier than air. Vapours may travel across the ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a flashback fire danger. Inhalation Vapours expected to be slightly irritating. Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Skin contact: May cause moderate irritation to skin. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Eye contact: Vapours may be irritating to the eye. Moderately irritating to eyes. Ingestion Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed.
Environmental hazards
Toxic to aquatic organisms. May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Expected to be toxic to aquatic organisms. May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Carcinogenicity Information: Vinyl Acetate Monomer had been classified by the Internal Agency of Research on Cancer (IAR C) as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). This IARC classification was based upon limited evidence of carcinogenicity to animals and inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity to humans. IDENTITY Fuel Additives, LLC Heat Bomb PAGE 2 SECTION (4) – FIRST AID MEASURES General Information: In general no treatment is necessary, however, obtain medical advice. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If rapid recovery does not occur, transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment. Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water and follow by washing with soap, if available. Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water while holding eyelids open. Rest eyes for 30 minutes. If redness, burning, blurred vision, or swelling persist, transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment. Ingestion If swallowed, do not induce vomiting transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration. Advice to Physician: Causes central nervous system depression. Dermatitis may result from prolonged or repeated exposure. Potential for chemical pneumonitis. Notes to Physicians: Activated charcoal mixture may be administered. To prepare activated charcoal mixture, suspend 50 grams activated charcoal in 400-ml water and mix thoroughly. Administer 5 ml/kg or 350 ml for an average adult. Because of the danger of aspiration, emesis or gastric lavage should not be employed unless the risk is justified by the presence of additional toxic substances. Activated charcoal may induce vomiting, but may be given after emesis or lavage to absorb toxic additives. Steroid therapy in mild to moderate cases does not improve outcome. Bacterial pneumonia often occurs after exposure, but prophylactic antibiotics are not indicated and should be reserved for documented bacterial pneumonia. SECTION (5) – FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flammable Properties Flash Point……………145o F (48o C) Method……………….PMCC Extinguishing Media Water Spray, Foam, Dry Chemical, CO2. Fire Fighting Instructions Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full protective equipment. Toxic gases will form upon combustion. SECTION (6) – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Observe all relevant local and international regulations. Protective measures: Avoid contact with spilled or released material. Immediately remove all contaminated clothing. For guidance on selection of personal protective equipment see Chapter 8 of this Material Safety Data Sheet. For guidance on disposal of spilled material see Chapter 13 of this Material Safety Data Sheet. Shut off leaks, if possible without personal risks. Remove all possible containment to avoid environmental contamination. Prevent from spreading or entering drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers. Attempt to disperse the vapor or to direct its flow to a safe location for example by using fog sprays. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all equipment. Monitor area with combustible gas indicator. Clean Up Methods: For small liquid spills (<1 drum), transfer by mechanical means to a labeled, sealable container for product recovery or safe disposal. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely. For large liquid spills (>1 drum), transfer by mechanical means such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank for recovery or safe disposal. Do not flush away residues with water. Retain as contaminated waste. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Additional Advice: See Chapter 13 for information on disposal. Notify authorities if any exposure to the general public or the environment occurs or is likely to occur. U.S. regulations may require reporting releases of this material to the environment which exceed the reportable quantity (refer to Chapter 15) to the National Response Centre at (800) 424-8802. Under Section 311 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) this material is considered an oil. As such, spills into surface waters must be reported to the National Response Centre at (800) 424-8802. This material is covered by EPA’s Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
Further information
Possibility of organ or organ system damage from prolonged exposure Inhalation of fumes or vapors from heated product may cause skin, eye and respiratory tract irritation. Signs and Symptoms: Respiratory irritation signs and symptoms may include a temporary burning sensation of the nose and throat, coughing, and/or difficulty breathing. Breathing of high vapour concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression resulting in dizziness, light- headedness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination. Continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness and death. Skin irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation, redness, swelling, and/or blisters. Eye irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation, redness, swelling, and/or blurred vision. If material enters lungs, signs and symptoms may include coughing, choking, wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chest congestion, shortness of breath, and/or fever.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Pre-existing medical conditions of the following organ(s) or organ system(s) may be aggravated by exposure to this material: Skin. Eyes. Central nervous system (CNS).
