Other hazards

Slightly irritating to respiratory system. High concentrations may cause central nervous system depression resulting in headaches, dizzi- ness and nausea. May ignite on surfaces at temperatures above auto-ignition temperature. Vapour in the headspace of tanks and containers may ignite and explode at temperatures ex- ceeding auto-ignition temperature, where vapour concentrations are within the flammability range. Electrostatic charges may be generated during pumping. Electrostatic discharge may cause fire. This material is a static accumulator. Even with proper grounding and bonding, this material can still accumulate an electrostatic charge. If sufficient charge is allowed to accumulate, electrostatic discharge and ignition of flammable air- vapour mixtures can occur

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Classification (REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008) Flammable liquids, Category 3 H226: Flammable liquid and vapour. Aspiration hazard, Category 1 H304: May be fatal if swallowed and enters air- ways.
