¹ All concentrations are percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in percent by volume.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated shoes and clothing, and flush affected area(s) with large amounts of water. If skin surface is
damaged, apply a clean dressing and seek medical attention. If skin surface is not damaged, cleanse affected area(s) thoroughly
by washing with mild soap and water or a waterless hand cleaner. If irritation or redness develops, seek medical attention. Wash
contaminated clothing before reuse. If product is injected into or under the skin, or into any part of the body, regardless of the
appearance of the wound or its size, the individual should be evaluated immediately by a physician. (see Note to Physician)
Inhalation (Breathing): If respiratory symptoms or other symptoms of exposure develop, move victim away from source of
exposure and into fresh air in a position comfortable for breathing. If symptoms persist, seek immediate medical attention. If victim
is not breathing, clear airway and immediately begin artificial respiration. If breathing difficulties develop, oxygen should be
administered by qualified personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion (Swallowing): Aspiration hazard: Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth because this material can enter the
lungs and cause severe lung damage. If victim is drowsy or unconscious and vomiting, place on the left side with the head down. If
possible, do not leave victim unattended and observe closely for adequacy of breathing. Seek medical attention.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: While significant vapor concentrations are not likely, high
concentrations can cause minor respiratory irritation, headache, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of coordination, disorientation and
fatigue. Ingestion can cause irritation of the digestive tract, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. Dry skin and possible irritation with
repeated or prolonged exposure.
Notes to Physician: When using high-pressure equipment, injection of product under the skin can occur. In this case, the
casualty should be sent immediately to the hospital. Do not wait for symptoms to develop. High-pressure hydrocarbon injection
injuries may produce substantial necrosis of underlying tissue despite an innocuous appearing external wound. These injuries
often require extensive emergency surgical debridement and all injuries should be evaluated by a specialist in order to assess the
extent of injury. Early surgical treatment within the first few hours may significantly reduce the ultimate extent of injury.
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam is recommended. Water spray is recommended to cool or protect
exposed materials or structures. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in confined
spaces. Simultaneous use of foam and water on the same surface is to be avoided as water destroys the foam. Water may be
ineffective for extinguishment, unless used under favorable conditions by experienced fire fighters.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: Flammable. This material can be ignited by heat, sparks, flames, or other sources of
ignition (e.g., static electricity, pilot lights, mechanical/electrical equipment, and electronic devices such as cell phones,
computers, calculators, and pagers which have not been certified as intrinsically safe). Vapors may travel considerable
distances to a source of ignition where they can ignite, flash back, or explode. May create vapor/air explosion hazard indoors,
in confined spaces, outdoors, or in sewers. This product will float and can be reignited on surface water. Vapors are heavier
than air and can accumulate in low areas. If container is not properly cooled, it can rupture in the heat of a fire.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Combustion may yield smoke, carbon monoxide, and other products of incomplete
combustion. Oxides of nitrogen and sulfur may also be formed.
Special protective actions for firefighters: For fires beyond the initial stage, emergency responders in the immediate hazard
area should wear protective clothing. When the potential chemical hazard is unknown, in enclosed or confined spaces, a self
contained breathing apparatus should be worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions warrant
(see Section 8).
Isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Move undamaged
containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done safely. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors and
to protect personnel. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done safely. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water
used for cooling purposes.
See Section 9 for Flammable Properties including Flash Point and Flammable (Explosive) Limits
Environmental Precautions: Stop and contain spill/release if it can be done safely. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers,
storm drains, other unauthorized drainage systems, and natural waterways. Use foam on spills to minimize vapors Use water
sparingly to minimize environmental contamination and reduce disposal requirements. If spill occurs on water notify appropriate
authorities and advise shipping of any hazard. Spills into or upon navigable waters, the contiguous zone, or adjoining shorelines
that cause a sheen or discoloration on the surface of the water, may require notification of the National Response Center (phone
number 800-424-8802).
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable
regulations. Immediate cleanup of any spill is recommended. Dike far ahead of spill for later recovery or disposal. Absorb spill with
inert material such as sand or vermiculite, and place in suitable container for disposal. If spilled on water remove with appropriate
methods (e.g. skimming, booms or absorbents). In case of soil contamination, remove contaminated soil for remediation or
disposal, in accordance with local regulations.
Recommended measures are based on the most likely spillage scenarios for this material; however local conditions and
regulations may influence or limit the choice of appropriate actions to be taken.
Precautions for safe handling: Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read

against static discharge. Nonsparking tools should be used. Do not breathe vapors or mists. Use only outdoors or in well-ventilated
area. Wear protective gloves/clothing and eye/face protection. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use good personal hygiene
practices and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Flammable. May vaporize easily at ambient
temperatures. The vapor is heavier than air and may create an explosive mixture of vapor and air. Beware of accumulation in
confined spaces and low lying areas. Open container slowly to relieve any pressure. The use of explosion-proof electrical
equipment is recommended and may be required (see appropriate fire codes). Refer to NFPA-70 and/or API RP 2003 for specific
bonding/grounding requirements. Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks or pits without following proper entry procedures
such as ASTM D-4276 and 29CFR 1910.146. Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes. Keep contaminated clothing away from
sources of ignition such as sparks or open flames.
High pressure injection of hydrocarbon fuels, hydraulic oils or greases under the skin may have serious consequences even though
no symptoms or injury may be apparent. This can happen accidentally when using high pressure equipment such as high pressure
grease guns, fuel injection apparatus or from pinhole leaks in tubing of high pressure hydraulic oil equipment.
For use as a motor fuel only. Do not use as a solvent due to its flammable and potentially toxic properties. Siphoning by mouth can
result in lung aspiration which can be harmful or fatal.
The use of hydrocarbon fuel in an area without adequate ventilation may result in hazardous levels of incomplete combustion
products (e.g. carbon monoxide, oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, benzene and other hydrocarbons) and/or dangerously low oxygen
levels.
Diesel engine exhaust contains hazardous combustion products and has been identified as a cancer hazard. Exposure should be
minimized to reduce potential risk.
Static Accumulation Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this material.
To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding of tanks, transfer piping, and storage tank level floats are necessary but may not,
by themselves, be sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an electrostatic
charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch
loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures. Special care should
be given to ensure that special slow load procedures for "switch loading" are followed to avoid the static ignition hazard that can
exist when higher flash point material (such as fuel oil or diesel) is loaded into tanks previously containing low flash point products
(such as gasoline or naphtha). For more information, refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106, 'Flammable and Combustible
Liquids', National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 77, 'Recommended Practice on Static Electricity', and/or the American
Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice 2003, 'Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray
Currents'.
Conditions for safe storage: Keep container(s) tightly closed and properly labeled. Use and store this material in cool, dry,
well-ventilated areas away from heat, direct sunlight, hot metal surfaces, and all sources of ignition. Store only in approved
containers. Post area "No Smoking or Open Flame." Keep away from any incompatible material (see Section 10). Protect
container(s) against physical damage. Outdoor or detached storage is preferred. Indoor storage should meet OSHA standards and
appropriate fire codes.
"Empty" containers retain residue and may 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. "Empty" drums should
be completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioner. All containers should be
disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations. Before working on or in tanks
which contain or have contained this material, refer to OSHA regulations, ANSI Z49.1, and other references pertaining to cleaning,
repairing, welding, or other contemplated operations.
Note: State, local or other agencies or advisory groups may have established more stringent limits. Consult an industrial
hygienist or similar professional, or your local agencies, for further information.
Engineering controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below the established
exposure limits, additional engineering controls may be required.
Eye/Face Protection: The use of eye protection that meets or exceeds ANSI Z.87.1 is recommended to protect against potential
eye contact, irritation, or injury. Depending on conditions of use, a face shield may be necessary.
Skin/Hand Protection: The use of gloves impervious to the specific material handled is advised to prevent skin contact. Users
should check with manufacturers to confirm the breakthrough performance of their products. Depending on exposure and use
conditions, additional protection may be necessary to prevent skin contact including use of items such as chemical resistant boots,
aprons, arm covers, hoods, coveralls, or encapsulated suits. Suggested protective materials: Nitrile
Respiratory Protection: Where there is potential for airborne exposure above the exposure limit a NIOSH certified air purifying
respirator equipped with organic vapor cartridges/canisters may be used.
A respiratory protection program that meets or is equivalent to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 should be followed
whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. Air purifying respirators provide limited protection and cannot be used in
atmospheres that exceed the maximum use concentration (as directed by regulation or the manufacturer's instructions), in oxygen
deficient (less than 19.5 percent oxygen) situations, or under conditions that are immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH).
Other Protective Equipment: Eye wash and quick-drench shower facilities should be available in the work area. Thoroughly
clean shoes and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Suggestions provided in this section for exposure control and specific types of protective equipment are based on readily
available information. Users should consult with the specific manufacturer to confirm the performance of their protective
equipment. Specific situations may require consultation with industrial hygiene, safety, or engineering professionals.
Chemical stability: Stable under normal ambient and anticipated conditions of use.
Conditions to avoid: Avoid high temperatures and all sources of ignition. Prevent vapor accumulation.

Substance / Mixture
Acute Toxicity Hazard Additional Information LC50/LD50 Data
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes skin irritation. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Skin Sensitization: No information available on the mixture, however none of the components have been classified for skin
sensitization (or are below the concentration threshold for classification).
Respiratory Sensitization: No information available on the mixture, however none of the components have been classified
for respiratory sensitization (or are below the concentration threshold for classification).
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Single Exposure): No information available on the mixture, however none of the
components have been classified for target organ toxicity (or are below the concentration threshold for classification).
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Repeated Exposure): May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated
exposure. Repeated dermal application of petroleum gas oils for 90 days resulted in decreased liver, thymus, and spleen
weights, and altered bone marrow function. Microscopic alterations included liver hypertrophy and necrosis, decreased
hematopoesis and lymphocyte depletion.
Carcinogenicity: Suspected of causing cancer. Petroleum middle distillates have been shown to cause skin tumors in mice
following repeated and prolonged skin contact. Follow-up studies have shown that these tumors are produced through a
non-genotoxic mechanism associated with frequent cell damage and repair, and that they are not likely to cause tumors in the
absence of prolonged skin irritation.
Germ Cell Mutagenicity: No information available on the mixture, however none of the components have been classified for
germ cell mutagenicity (or are below the concentration threshold for classification).
Reproductive Toxicity: No information available on the mixture, however none of the components have been classified for
reproductive toxicity (or are below the concentration threshold for classification).
Other Comments: Diesel engine exhaust has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and
National Toxicology Program (NTP) as a carcinogen.
Information on Toxicological Effects of Components
Naphthalene
Carcinogenicity: Naphthalene has been evaluated in two year inhalation studies in both rats and mice. The US National
Toxicology Program (NTP) concluded that there is clear evidence of carcinogenicity in male and female rats based on
increased incidences of respiratory epithelial adenomas and olfactory epithelial neuroblastomas of the nose. NTP found some
evidence of carcinogenicity in female mice (alveolar adenomas) and no evidence of carcinogenicity in male mice. Naphthalene
has been identified as a carcinogen by IARC and NTP.
GHS Classification:
H411 -- Hazardous to the aquatic environment, chronic toxicity -- Category 2
Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.
Toxicity: Experimental studies of gas oils show that acute aquatic toxicity values are typically in the range 2-20 mg/L. These
values are consistent with the predicted aquatic toxicity of these substances based on their hydrocarbon compositions. They
should be regarded as toxic to aquatic organisms, with the potential to cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Persistence and Degradability: Gas oils are complex combinations of individual hydrocarbon species. Based on the known or
expected properties of individual constituents, category members are not predicted to be readily biodegradable. Some hydrocarbon
constituents of gas oils are predicted to meet the criteria for persistence; on the other hand, some components can be easily
degraded by microorganisms under aerobic conditions.
Bioaccumulative Potential: Gas oil components have measured or calculated Log Kow values in the range of 3.9 to 6 which
indicates a high potential to bioaccumulate. Lower molecular weight compounds are readily metabolized and the actual
bioaccumulation potential of higher molecular weight compounds is limited by the low water solubility and large molecular size.
Mobility in Soil: Releases to water will result in a hydrocarbon film floating and spreading on the surface. For the lighter
components, volatilization is an important loss process and reduces the hazard to aquatic organisms. In air, the hydrocarbon
vapors react readily with hydroxyl radicals with half-lives of less than one day. Photoxidation on the water surface is also a
significant loss process particularly for polycyclic aromatic compounds. In water, the majority of components will be adsorbed on
sediment. Adsorption is the most predominant physical process on release to soil. Adsorbed hydrocarbons will slowly degrade in
both water and soil.
