DIESEL & KEROSENE MATRIX - D56 TAG CLOSED CUP FLASH POINT STANDARD

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Identification: Diesel Fuel #2 COMBUSTIBLE & FLAMMABLE LIQUID. Can form flammable mixtures with air at, or above 38°C (100.4°F). If ignited, gas oils can burn fiercely, but the low vapor pressure reduces the risk of explosive atmospheres. The pure oil (no additives present) can accumulate static charge by flow, agitation or pouring. Kerosene COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. May accumulate static charge by flow or agitation. Liquid can float on water and may travel to distant locations and/or spread fire. During a fire, irritating and/or toxic gases, such as sulfur and nitrogen oxides as well as unidentified organic compounds may be generated. High vapor concentrations may cause headache, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, incoordination and confusion. Very high concentrations may cause unconsciousness and death. Aspiration hazard. Swallowing or vomiting may result in aspiration (inhalation of the liquid) into the lungs. May contain CARCINOGENIC benzene and hazardous additives. GHS LABELING SYMBOLS:
