H226

Flammable liquid and vapour

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Physical State @20°C liquid Color colorless Odor Aromatic Hydrocarbon-like Flammable liquid and vapor. May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. Vapors inhaled in strong concentration have a narcotic effect on the central nervous system. Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor or aerosols may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract. May cause drowsiness and dizziness. Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Flammable liquids - Category 3 Aspiration toxicity - Category 1 Specific target organ systemic toxicity (single exposure) - Category 3 Acute aquatic toxicity - Category 2 Chronic aquatic toxicity - Category 2

Signal word

DANGER

Hazard statements

H226 - Flammable liquid and vapor H304 - May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways H336 - May cause drowsiness or dizziness H411 - Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects

Prevention

Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray • Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area • Avoid release to the environment • Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking • Keep container tightly closed • Use explosion-proof electrical/ ventilating / lighting equipment • Ground/bond container and receiving equipment • Use only non-sparking tools • Take precautionary measures against static discharge • Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection

Response

IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing • Call a POISON CENTER/doctor if you feel unwell • IF ON SKIN (or hair): Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower • IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER/doctor • Do NOT induce vomiting • In case of fire: Use CO2, dry chemical, or foam to extinguish • Collect spillage

Storage

Store locked up • Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool • Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed

Precautionary statements

Disposal • Dispose of contents/ container to an approved waste disposal plant

Other physicochemical hazards

Health hazards

Inhalation Vapors inhaled in strong concentration have a narcotic effect on the central nervous system. The inhalation of vapours or aerosols may be irritating for the respiratory tract and for mucous membranes. Skin contact Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Eye contact Burning feeling and temporary redness. Ingestion 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). Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, Abdominal pain. Skin corrosion/irritation Not classified based on available data. Serious eye damage/eye irritation Not classified based on available data. Sensitization Not classified as a sensitizer. Carcinogenicity This product is not classified carcinogenic. Mutagenic effects The mutagenic potential of the substance has been extensively studied in a range of in-vivo and in-vitro assays. Germ Cell Mutagenicity Genetic toxicity : negative. Reproductive toxicity Studies in rats with the substance did not show any effect on reproductive performance. Developmental Toxicity Results of guideline developmental toxicity studies on the substance and OECD developmental toxicity screening studies showed no evidence of developmental toxicity in rats. Subchronic toxicity No information available. Target Organ Effects (STOT) Central nervous system (CNS). Respiratory system. STOT - single exposure May cause respiratory irritation. Vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness. STOT - repeated exposure No known effect based on information supplied.

Other hazards

Frequent or prolonged skin contact destroys the lipoacid cutaneous layer and may cause dermatitis.

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 with long lasting effects.

2.3 Other hazards

Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread near ground level to sources of ignition . Friction generated by product discharge can create static charges of sufficient magnitude to cause SPARKS WHICH MAY LEAD TO FIRE OR EXPLOSION. May cause central nervous system depression. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Should not be released into the environment.
