Cycloparaffins + (For Stoddard Aromatics Solvent-CAS #8052- 41-3) SECTION 3 -- EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Get medical attention. Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing/shoes. Flush skin with water. Follow by washing with soap and water. If irritation occurs, get medical attention. Do not reuse clothing until cleaned. Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into the lungs. Get medical attention. SECTION 4 -- PHYSICAL DATA The following data represent approximate or typical values. They do not constitute product specifications. Boiling Range: 310-355O (F) Vapor Density: Heavier than air Evaporation Rate: Slower than ether % Volatile By Volume: Approx. 100% Weight Per Gallon: 6.43 lbs. Solubility in Water: Negligible SECTION 5 -- FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA Flammability Classification: Combustible Liquid - Class II. Flash Point: 104O(F) Tag. Closed cup. Autoignition Temperature: 500O F. Lower Explosive Limit: 1.0% Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical, water spray. Do not use direct water stream; it will spread fire. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Do not store or mix with strong oxidants. Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Use air-supplied rescue equipment for enclosed areas. Cool exposed containers with water. Trade Name: NAPHTHOL SPIRITS SECTION 6 -- HEALTH HAZARD DATA THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE: See Section 2. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE Acute Eye Contact: May cause irritation,discomfort, redness and swelling of the eye. Skin Contact: Liquid is slightly irritating to the skin. Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis. Inhalation: Vapors may cause irritation to nose, throat and respiratory tract. Breathing of high vapor concentrations may result in headaches, dizziness and other signs of nervous system depression. These effects have been observed after misuse or abuse of this product. When used in a reasonable and foreseeable manner, no adverse effects are anticipated from exposure to this product. Ingestion: Ingestion may result in vomiting, aspiration (breathing) of vomitus into the lungs must be avoided as even small quantities may result in aspiration pneumonitis. Chronic: Repeated skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis (skin condition). Carcinogenicity: This product has not been identified as a carcinogen by NTP, IARC or OSHA.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Conditions aggravated by exposure may include skin disorders and respiratory (asthma-like) conditions. SECTION 7 -- REACTIVITY DATA Stability: Stable Conditions to Avoid: Heat, sparks and flame. Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Strong oxidizing agents like liquid chlorine or concentrated oxygen. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition may yield carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. SECTION 8 -- SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES Steps to be taken in case material is spilled or released: Remove ignition sources, evacuate area, avoid breathing vapor or contact with liquid. Recover free liquid or stop leak if possible. Dike large spills and use absorbent material for small spills. Keep spilled material out of sewers, ditches and bodies of water. Waste disposal method: Incinerate under safe conditions; dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. SECTION 9 -- SAFE HANDLING AND USE INFORMATION Respiratory Protection: Appropriate vapor canister, self-contained breathing apparatus or supplied-air hose mask, if needed. Ventilation: Sufficient, in volume and pattern, to keep workroom concentration below current applicable OSHA safety and health requirements. See Section 2. Use explosion-proof equipment. No smoking. Protective Gloves: Rubber or neoprene. Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles. Other Protective Equipment: Impervious clothing or boots, if needed. Trade Name: NAPHTHOL SPIRITS SECTION 10 -- SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS Dept. of Labor Storage Category: Combustible Liquid - Class II Hygienic Practices: Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Keep containers closed when not in use. Avoid eye contact. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wash skin with soap and water after contact. Additional Precautions: Ground containers when transferring liquid to prevent static accumulation and discharge. Additional information regarding safe handling of products with static accumulation potential can be ordered by contacting the American Petroleum Institute (API) for API Recommended Practice 2003, entitled "Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lighting, and Stray Currents" (American Petroleum Institute, 1720 L Street Northwest, Washington,DC 20005), or the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for NFPA 77 entitled "Static Electricity" (National Fire Protection Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, P.O. Box 9101, Quincy, MA 02269-9101). Empty Container Warning: "Empty" containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks or other sources of ignition; they may explode and cause injury or death. Do not attempt to clean since residue is difficult to remove. "Empty" drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to supplier or disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations.
