SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: This product is a clear, colorless, to slightly yellow, combustible liquid, with a mild, hydrocarbon odor. Vapors and mists from this product may be irritating, if inhaled. The product can be irritating to contaminated skin or eyes. The product will ignite and burn at elevated temperatures in the presence of an ignition source. If involved in a fire, this liquid will release toxic gases (i.e. carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide). This product is not reactive under typical emergency response conditions. Emergency responders must wear proper personal protective equipment and have adequate fire protection for the situation to which they are responding. SYMPTOMS OF OVER-EXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The most significant routes of exposure to this product are by inhalation of mists or vapors generated by the product and contact with the skin and eyes. INHALATION: Inhalation of the mists or vapors of this product can be irritating to the nose, throat, mucous membranes, and other tissues of the respiratory system. Additionally, inhalation of large quantities of this product’s vapors, mists or sprays (such as may occur in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area) may cause central nervous system depression. Symptoms of such over-exposure can include headache, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness confusion. Severe inhalation over-exposure can result in unconsciousness and possibly death. CONTACT WITH SKIN or EYES: This liquid may cause local redness or irritation of the skin following prolonged exposure. Repeated or prolonged exposure may lead to dermatitis (red, inflamed skin). Contact with the eyes will cause irritation and possibly burning, which is generally alleviated when the product is rinsed from the eyes. SKIN ABSORPTION: Skin absorption is not known to be a potential route of over-exposure for the components of this product. INGESTION: Ingestion of this product, while not likely to occur in an industrial setting, may cause irritation of the mouth and throat, gastric upset, nausea and vomiting. Additionally, aspiration of this product can result in severe, life-threatening lung damage. INJECTION: Though not an expected route of occupational exposure for this product, injection (via punctures or lacerations in the skin) may cause local reddening, tissue swelling and discomfort.

Potential health effects

OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE An Explanation in Lay Terms. Symptoms associated with over- exposure to this product are as follows: ACUTE: The chief health hazards associated with this product would be the potential for irritation of contaminated skin and eyes, and central nervous system effects after inhalation exposures. Severe inhalation over-exposures can be fatal. Ingestion may cause gastric distress and lung damage as a result of aspiration. CHRONIC: Prolonged or repeated skin exposures can lead to dermatitis (dry, chapped skin). Refer to Section 11
