4. First Aid Measures
1) Eye contact
Flush eye with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
2) Skin contact
Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Injection
injuries may not appear serious at first but within a few hours, without proper treatment, the area
will become swollen, discolored and extremely painful. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy
contaminated shoes and other leather products.
3) Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen and continue to monitor. Get immediate medical attention.
4) Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting! Do not give liquids! Get medical attention immediately.
5) Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
No data
6) First-aid treatment and information on medical doctors

5. Fire Fighting Measures
1) Recommanded(or prohibited) extinguishing media
Water spray, Regular foam, Dry chemical,
○ Recommanded extinguishing media :
Carbon dioxide
○ Prohibited extinguishing media :
No data
Water spray, fog or fire fighting foam. Water may be ineffective for fighting
○ Large fire :
the fire, but may be used to cool fire-exposed containers.
2) Specific hazard from chemical material
○ Toxicant from combustion :
○ Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Oxidized hydrocarbon
Vapors may be ignited rapidly when exposed to heat, spark,
open flame or other source of ignition. Flowing product may be
ignited by self-generated static electricity. When mixed with air
and exposed to an ignition source, flammable vapors can burn
in the open or explode in confined spaces. Being heavier than
air, vapors may travel long distances to an ignition source and
flash back. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or explosion
3) Extinguishment
Small fires in the incipient (beginning) stage may typically be extinguished using handheld
portable fire extinguishers and other fire fighting equipment.
Firefighting activities that may result in potential exposure to high heat, smoke or toxic byproducts of combustion should require NIOSH/MSHA- approved pressure-demand self-contained
breathing apparatus with full facepiece and full protective clothing.
Isolate area around container involved in fire. Cool tanks, shells, and containers exposed to fire
and excessive heat with water. For massive fires the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor
nozzles may be advantageous to further minimize personnel exposure. Major fires may require
withdrawal, allowing the tank to burn. Large storage tank fires typically require specially trained
personnel and equipment to extinguish the fire, often including the need for properly applied fire
fighting foam.
See Section 16 for the NFPA 704 Hazard Rating.
6. Accidental Release Measures
1) Necessary actions to protect human health
Prevent ignition, stop leak and ventilate the area. Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. DO
NOT use combustible materials such as sawdust. Vapor can be controlled using a water fog.
Water streams should not be directed to the liquid as this will cause the liquid to boil and generate
more vapor. Keep personnel upwind from leak. Use appropriate personal protective equipment
as stated in Section 8 of this MSDS. Advise the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
appropriate state agencies, if required. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g., dry sand or earth),
then place in a chemical waste container. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a disposal
2) Necessary actions to protect the environment
○ Air :
No data
○ Soil :
No data
○ Water :
No data
3) Purification and removal methods
○ Small leak :
○ Large leak :
Take up with sand or other oil absorbing materials.
Carefully shovel, scoop or sweep up into a waste container for reclamation
or disposal - caution, flammable vapors may accumulate in closed
containers.
7. Handling and Stroage
1) Safety handling
Use only in a well-ventilated area. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. NFPA
class IA storage. Flash point is less than 73 degrees F and boiling point is less than 100 degrees
F. Avoid breathing (dust, vapor, mist, gas). Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Never siphon by mouth.
2) Stroage
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep container closed when not in use. Consult NFPA
and / or OSHA codes for additional information.
8. Exposure Control and Personal Protection
1) Exposure limits and biological exposure limits of chemical
1) Gasoline
○ MOL(TLV) :
TWA - 300ppm, STEL - 500 ppm
○ ACGIH(TLV) :
TWA - 300ppm, STEL - 500 ppm
○ Biological exposure limits :
No data
2) Benzene
○ KOSHA :
TWA - 1ppm, 3mg/㎥; STEL - 5ppm, 16mg/㎥
○ ACGIH :
TWA - 0.5ppm; STEL - 2.5ppm
○ Biological exposure limits :
End of shift S-Phenylmercapturic acid in urine 25 ug/g creatinine
End of shift t,t-Muconic acid in urine 500 ug/g creatinine
2) Engineering management
Use with adequate ventilation. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne
levels.
3) Personal protection equipment
○ Respiratory protection :
Concentration in air determines the level of respiratory protection needed. Use only NIOSH
certified respiratory equipment. Half-mask air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridges is
acceptable for exposures to ten (10) times the exposure limit. Full-face air purifying respirator
with organic vapor cartridges is acceptable for exposures to fifty (50) times the exposure limit.
Exposure should not exceed the cartridge limit of 1000 ppm. Protection by air purifying
respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure-demand full-face supplied air respirator or SCBA
for exposures greater than fifty (50) times the exposure limit. If exposure is above the IDLH
(Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health) or there is the possibility of an uncontrolled release,
or exposure levels are unknown, then use a positive pressure-demand full-face supplied air
respirator with escape bottle or SCBA. Wear a NIOSH/MSHA-approved (or equivalent) fullfacepiece airline respirator in the positive pressure mode with emergency escape provisions.
○ Eyes protection :
Use chemical splash goggles and face shield (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent).
○ Hands protection :
The glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation. Gloves of other chemically
resistant materials may not provide adequate protection. Protective gloves are recommended to
protect against contact with product. Polyethylene; Neoprene; Nitrile; Polyvinyl alcohol; Viton;
○ Human body protection :
FWhere splashing is possible, full chemically resistant protective clothing (e.g., acid suit) and
boots are required. The following materials are acceptable for use as protective clothing:
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA); Polyethylene; Neoprene; Nitrile; Viton; Polyurethane; Facilities storing
or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. For non-fire emergencies, positive
pressure SCBA and structural firefighter's protective clothing will provide only limited protection.
