H304

May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Physical State @20°C liquid Color light yellow Odor Hydrocarbon-like Causes mild skin irritation. May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. Toxic to aquatic life. The inhalation of vapours or aerosols may be irritating for the respiratory tract and for mucous membranes. Vapors inhaled in strong concentration have a narcotic effect on the central nervous system. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Incomplete combustion and thermolysis may produce gases of varying toxicity such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, various hydrocarbons, aldehydes and soot. These may be highly dangerous if inhaled in confined spaces or at high concentration.

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Aspiration toxicity - Category 1 Skin corrosion/irritation - Category 3 Acute aquatic toxicity - Category 2

Health hazards

Inhalation The inhalation of vapours or aerosols may be irritating for the respiratory tract and for mucous membranes.

Aspiration hazard

May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. The fluid can enter the lungs and cause damage (chemical pneumonitis, potentially fatal).

Environmental hazards

Toxic to aquatic life.

2.3 Other hazards

Contaminated surfaces will be extremely slippery. If swallowed accidentally, the product may enter the lungs due to its low viscosity and lead to the rapid development of very serious pulmonary lesions (medical survey during 48 hours).
