Section 4. First aid measures
Description of necessary first aid measures
Eye contact In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Eyelids should be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing.
Check for and remove any contact lenses. Get medical attention.
Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention. If exposure to vapour, mists
or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the eyes, nose
or throat, remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any
symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
Skin contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Drench contaminated clothing
with water before removing. This is necessary to avoid the risk of sparks from static
electricity that could ignite contaminated clothing. Contaminated clothing is a fire
hazard. Contaminated leather, particularly footwear, must be discarded. Clean
shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention.
Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If
unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately.
Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage. Get medical
attention immediately.

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed


See Section 11 for more detailed information on health effects and symptoms.
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Notes to physician Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach
contents, and can cause severe and potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which
will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction of vomiting
and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only
after endotracheal intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
Specific treatments No specific treatment.
Protection of first-aiders No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. If it
is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate
mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. It may be dangerous to the person
providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Wash contaminated clothing
thoroughly with water before removing it, or wear gloves.

Section 5. Firefighting measures


Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing In case of fire, use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguisher or
media spray.
Unsuitable extinguishing Do not use water jet.
media

Specific hazards arising Extremely flammable liquid and vapour. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase
from the chemical will occur and the container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion.
Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Vapours can form explosive
mixtures with air. Vapours are heavier than air and can spread along the ground or
float on water surfaces to remote ignition sources. Vapours may accumulate in low
or confined areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash
back. This product is a poor conductor of electricity and can become
electrostatically charged. If sufficient charge is accumulated, ignition of flammable
mixtures can occur. To reduce potential for static discharge, use proper bonding
and grounding procedures. This liquid may accumulate static electricity when filling
properly-grounded containers. Static accumulation may be significantly increased
by the presence of small quantities of water or other contaminants. Liquid will float
and may reignite on surface of water.

Section 6. Accidental release measures


Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency Immediately contact emergency personnel. No action shall be taken involving any
personnel personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk
through spilt material. No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing
vapour or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Put on appropriate personal
protective equipment. Floors may be slippery; use care to avoid falling. Eliminate
all ignition sources.
For emergency responders Entry into a confined space or poorly ventilated area contaminated with vapour, mist
or fume is extremely hazardous without the correct respiratory protective equipment
and a safe system of work. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear a
suitable chemical protective suit. Chemical resistant boots. See also the
information in "For non-emergency personnel".

Environmental precautions Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). In case of small spillages in closed waters
(i.e. ports), contain product with floating barriers or other equipment. Collect spilled
product by absorbing with specific floating absorbents. If possible, large spillages in
open waters should be contained with floating barriers or other mechanical means.
If this is not possible, control the spreading of the spillage, and collect the product by
skimming or other suitable mechanical means. The use of dispersants should be
advised by an expert, and, if required, approved by local authorities. Collect
recovered product and other contaminated materials in suitable tanks or containers
for recycle, recovery or safe disposal.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up


Small spill Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill
area. Absorb with an inert material and place in an appropriate waste disposal
container. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor. The method and equipment used must be in
conformance with appropriate regulations and industry practice on explosive
atmospheres.
Large spill Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill
area. Approach the release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses,
basements or confined areas. Dike spill area and do not allow product to reach
sewage system and surface or ground water. Contain and collect spillage with non-
combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth
and place in container for disposal according to local regulations. Use spark-proof
tools and explosion-proof equipment. Contaminated absorbent material may pose
the same hazard as the spilt product. The method and equipment used must be in
conformance with appropriate regulations and industry practice on explosive
atmospheres. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Section 7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures Do not fill container while it is in or on a vehicle. Static electricity may ignite vapour
and cause fire. Place container on ground when filling and keep nozzle in contact
with container.

Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Avoid exposure -
obtain special instructions before use. Avoid exposure during pregnancy. Do not
handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Do not get in
eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not swallow. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can
enter lungs and cause damage. Never siphon by mouth. Avoid breathing vapour or
mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when
ventilation is inadequate. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative
made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Store and
use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. Use explosion-
proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Use only non-
sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges.
Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse
container. Handling operations that can promote accumulation of static charges
include but are not limited to: mixing, filtering, pumping at high flow rates, splash
filling, creating mists or sprays, tank and container filling, tank cleaning, sampling,
gauging, switch loading, vacuum truck operations. Restrict flow velocity according
to API 2003 (2008), NFPA 77 (2007), and Laurence Britton, “Avoiding Static Ignition
Hazards in Chemical Operations”. To reduce potential for static discharge, ensure
that all equipment is properly grounded and bonded and meets appropriate electrical
classification requirements.
Advice on general Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
occupational hygiene handled, stored and processed. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove
contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. See
also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.

Conditions for safe storage, Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved
including any area. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-
incompatibilities ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and
drink. Store locked up. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidising
materials. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Store and
use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product. Containers
that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent
leakage. Do not store in unlabelled containers. Use appropriate containment to
avoid environmental contamination.

Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. These can
cause flammability/explosion hazards even at temperatures below the normal flash
point (note: flash point must not be regarded as a reliable indicator of the potential
flammability of vapour in tank headspaces). Tank headspaces should always be
regarded as potentially flammable and care should be taken to avoid static electrical
discharge and all ignition sources during filling, ullaging and sampling from storage
tanks. Do not enter storage tanks. If entry to vessels is necessary, follow permit to
work procedures. Entry into a confined space or poorly ventilated area
contaminated with vapour, mist or fume is extremely hazardous without the correct
respiratory protective equipment and a safe system of work. When the product is
pumped (e.g. during filling, discharge or ullaging) and when sampling, there is a risk
of static discharge. Ensure equipment used is properly earthed or bonded to the
tank structure. Electrical equipment should not be used unless it is intrinsically safe
(i.e. will not produce sparks). Explosive air/vapour mixtures may form at ambient
temperature. If product comes into contact with hot surfaces, or leaks occur from
pressurised fuel pipes, the vapour or mists generated will create a flammability or
explosion hazard. Product contaminated rags, paper or material used to absorb
spillages, represent a fire hazard, and should not be allowed to accumulate.

Appropriate engineering All activities involving chemicals should be assessed for their risks to health, to
controls ensure exposures are adequately controlled. Personal protective equipment should
only be considered after other forms of control measures (e.g. engineering controls)
have been suitably evaluated. Personal protective equipment should conform to
appropriate standards, be suitable for use, be kept in good condition and properly
maintained.
Your supplier of personal protective equipment should be consulted for advice on
selection and appropriate standards. For further information contact your national
organisation for standards.
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant
airborne concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits.
The final choice of protective equipment will depend upon a risk assessment. It is
important to ensure that all items of personal protective equipment are compatible.
Environmental exposure Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process
equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Individual protection measures


Hygiene measures Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and
safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection Chemical splash goggles.
Skin protection
Hand protection Wear chemical resistant gloves.

Do not re-use gloves. Protective gloves must give suitable protection against
mechanical risks (i.e. abrasion, blade cut and puncture). Protective gloves will
deteriorate over time due to physical and chemical damage. Inspect and replace
gloves on a regular basis. The frequency of replacement will depend upon the
circumstances of use.
Recommended: Gloves made from fluoroelastomer resistant to hydrocarbons
and a wide range of chemicals.
Wear a chemically resistant multi-layer laminate inner glove
inside an outer nitrile glove. The purpose of the outer glove is to
protect the inner glove from cuts and mechanical damage. The
presence of aromatic hydrocarbons in the product will
significantly shorten the length of time that nitrile gloves will
provide protection. Do not re-use nitrile gloves if exposed to
aromatic hydrocarbons.
Skin protection Use of protective clothing is good industrial practice.
Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task
being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist
before handling this product.
Cotton or polyester/cotton overalls will only provide protection against light
superficial contamination that will not soak through to the skin. Overalls should be
laundered on a regular basis. When the risk of skin exposure is high (e.g. when

Section 8. Exposure controls and personal protection
cleaning up spillages or if there is a risk of splashing) then chemical resistant aprons
and/or impervious chemical suits and boots will be required.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
Footwear highly resistant to chemicals.
When there is a risk of ignition wear inherently fire resistant protective clothes and
gloves.
When there is a risk of ignition from static electricity, wear anti-static protective
clothing. For greatest effectiveness against static electricity, overalls, boots and
gloves should all be anti-static.
When the risk of skin exposure is high (from experience this could apply to the
following tasks: cleaning work, maintenance and service, filling and transfer, taking
samples and cleaning up spillages) then a chemical protective suit and boots will be
required.
Work clothing / overalls should be laundered on a regular basis. Laundering of
contaminated work clothing should only be done by professional cleaners who have
been told about the hazards of the contamination. Always keep contaminated work
clothing away from uncontaminated work clothing and uncontaminated personal
clothes.
Other skin protection Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be
selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be
approved by a specialist before handling this product.
Respiratory protection Use with adequate ventilation.
If there is a requirement for the use of a respiratory protective device, but the use of
breathing apparatus (independent of ambient atmosphere) is not required, then a
suitable filtering device must be worn.
The filter class must be suitable for the maximum contaminant concentration (gas/
vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product.
Recommended: Avoid breathing of vapours, mists or spray. Select and use
respirators in accordance with AS/NZS 1715/1716. When mists
or vapours exceed the exposure standards then the use of the
following is recommended: Approved respirator with organic
vapour and dust/mist (Type P1) filters. Filter capacity and
respirator type depends on exposure level.
Refer to standards: Respiratory protection:AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716
Gloves:AS/NZS 2161.1
Eye protection:AS/NZS 1336 and AS/NZS 1337

Section 11. Toxicological information
Eye contact Vapour, mist or fume may cause eye irritation. Exposure to vapour, mist or fume
may cause stinging, redness and watering of the eyes.
Inhalation Vapour, mist or fume may irritate the nose, mouth and respiratory tract.
Skin contact Prolonged or repeated contact can defat the skin and lead to irritation, cracking and/
or dermatitis.
Ingestion If swallowed, may irritate the mouth, throat and digestive system. If swallowed, may
cause abdominal pain, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness and
drowsiness.
General This product contains n-hexane. Overexposure to n-hexane may cause progressive
and potentially irreversible damage to the peripheral nervous system, particularly in
the arms and legs. Animal studies have also shown that n-hexane overexposure
may cause testicular injury. However, animal studies conducted with commercial
hexane, containing 53% n-hexane, showed neither peripheral nervous system
damage nor testicular injury at inhalation exposures up to 9000 ppm. Solvent
"sniffing" (abuse) or intentional overexposure to vapours can produce serious
central nervous system effects, including unconsciousness, and possibly death.
Carcinogenicity May cause cancer. Risk of cancer depends on duration and level of exposure.
Mutagenicity May cause genetic defects.
Teratogenicity Suspected of damaging the unborn child.
Developmental effects No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Fertility effects Suspected of damaging fertility.

Other information Gasoline - Excess exposure to vapors may produce headaches, dizziness, nausea,
drowsiness, irritation of eyes, nose and throat and central nervous system
depression. Aspiration of this material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonia
and can be fatal. Aspiration into the lungs can occur while vomiting after ingestion of
this product. Inhalation of unleaded gasoline vapors did not produce birth defects in
laboratory animals. Ingestion of this material can cause gastrointestinal irritation and
diarrhea.

In a long-term inhalation study of whole unleaded gasoline vapors, exposure-related


kidney damage and kidney tumors were observed in male rats. Similar kidney
effects were not seen in female rats or in mice. At the highest exposure level (2056
ppm), female mice had an increased incidence of liver tumors. Results from
subsequent scientific studies have shown that a broad variety of chemicals cause
these kidney effects only in the male rat. Further studies have discovered the means
by which the physiology of the male rat uniquely predispose it to these effects.
Consequently, the Risk Assessment Forum of the Environmental Protection Agency
has recognized that these responses are not predictive of a human health hazard.
The liver tumors that were increased in the high-dose female mice are likewise of
questionable significance because of their high spontaneous occurrence even
without chemical exposure and because the rate of their occurrence is accelerated
by a broad spectrum of chemicals not commonly considered to be carcinogens (e.g.,
phenobarbital).
Thus, the significance of the mouse liver tumor response in terms of human health
is questionable.

Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons and contains benzene (typically no

more than 2 volume%), toluene, and xylene. Chronic exposure to high levels of
benzene has been shown to cause cancer (leukemia) in humans and other adverse
blood effects (anemia). Benzene is considered a human carcinogen by IARC, NTP
and OSHA. Over exposure to xylene and toluene can cause irritation to the upper
respiratory tract, headache and narcosis. Some liver damage and lung inflammation
were seen in chronic studies on xylene in guinea pigs but not in rats.

Solvent "sniffing" (abuse) or intentional overexposure to vapors can produce serious


central nervous system effects, including unconsciousness, and possibly death.

Gasoline: Additional toxicity information on components.

Overexposure to n-hexane may cause progressive and potentially irreversible


damage to the peripheral nervous system, particularly in the arms and legs.
Studies in occupationally exposed individuals indicate that toluene exposure has
been associated with impaired color vision and decreased performance in some
neurobehavioral tests.
Prolonged high level exposure to toluene or xylene has caused some degree of
hearing loss in experimental animals.
Inhalation of very high concentrations of gasoline vapors and some of its
components can result in cardiac sensitization and irregular heartbeats, leading to
potentially fatal changes in heart rhythms. Injection of adrenaline-like agents may
enhance this effect.

Benzene: Acute toxicity of benzene results primarily from depression of the central
nervous system (CNS). Inhalation of concentrations over 50 ppm can produce
headache, lassitude, weariness, dizziness, drowsiness, or excitation. Exposure to
very high levels can result in unconsciousness and death.

Benzene: Long-term overexposure to benzene has been associated with certain


types of leukemia in humans. In addition, the International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC), the National Toxicology Program, and OSHA consider benzene to
be a human carcinogen. Chronic exposures to high levels of benzene have been
reported to cause adverse blood effects including anemia. Benzene exposure can
occur by inhalation and absorption through the skin.
Inhalation and forced feeding studies of benzene in laboratory animals have
produced a carcinogenic response in a variety of organs, including possibly
leukemia, other adverse effects on the blood, chromosomal changes and some
effects on the immune system. Exposure to benzene at levels up to 300 ppm did not
produce birth defects in animal studies; however, exposure to higher dosage levels
resulted in a reduction of body weight of the rat pups (fetotoxicity). Changes in the
testes have been observed in mice exposed to benzene at 300 ppm, but
reproductive performance was not altered in rats exposed to benzene at the same
level. Aspiration of this material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonia and
can be fatal. Aspiration into the lungs can occur while vomiting after ingestion of this
material.

Toluene: Aspiration of this material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonia
and can be fatal. Aspiration into the lungs can occur while vomiting after ingestion
of this material. Deliberate inhalation of high concentrations of toluene has been
linked to damage of the brain, liver and kidney. Inhalation of very high
concentrations of toluene, such as in cases of solvent abuse, has resulted in
sudden death which may be a result of cardiac arrhythmia or central nervous
system depression. Mental and/or growth retardation has been reported in children
of women who deliberately inhale toluene during pregnancy (usually at thousands of
ppm). Foetal developmental toxicity was observed when pregnant rats were
exposed to toluene at levels of 1500 ppm. Maternal toxicity was also observed at
this concentration. Prolonged, high level exposure to toluene in laboratory animals
has resulted in hearing loss. Exposure studies in rats have resulted in adverse
effects on the kidney, liver and central nervous system. Studies in occupationally

exposed individuals indicate that toluene exposure has been associated with
impaired colour vision and decreased performance in some neurobehavioural tests.
There are occupational studies which report an association between inhalation
exposure to toluene and adverse effects on reproduction including spontaneous
abortion. The methodology of these studies and the reliability of the results have
been questioned. In a two-generation study in rats, inhalation of toluene at levels up
to 2000 ppm did not produce adverse effects on fertility or reproductive performance.
