Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
May cause irritation to the respiratory tract.
Ingestion:
Extremely large oral dosages may produce gastrointestinal disturbances.
Skin Contact:
Mild irritant, possibly causing surface inflammation especially on prolonged contact with oily skin.
Eye Contact:
Mild irritant on prolonged contact, causing reddening, possibly blurred vision.
Chronic Exposure:
No adverse health effects expected.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
No adverse health effects expected.
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:
If large amounts were swallowed, give water to drink and get medical advice.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Eye Contact:
In case of contact, flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical advice if irritation develops.
Fire:
Flash point: 189C (372F)
As with most organic liquids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by contact with an ignition source.
Explosion:
Explosion is possible at or above conditions given above.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed containers cool.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. Do not use heavy streams of water, molten material will float on water.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Neutralize with alkaline material (soda ash, lime), then absorb with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! Remove all sources of ignition.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from any source of heat or ignition. Outside or detached storage is recommended. Store in the dark. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits:
None established.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
Not expected to require personal respirator usage.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Appearance:
Pale yellow or brownish-yellow oily liquid.
Odor:
Characteristic lardlike odor.

Environmental Fate:
When released into the air, this material is expected to be readily degraded by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals. When released into the air, this material is expected to have a half-life of less than 1 day. When released into the soil, this material is expected to readily biodegrade. When released into the soil, this material is expected to have a half-life of less than 1 day. When released into water, this material is expected to readily biodegrade. When released into the water, this material is expected to have a half-life between 1 and 10 days. When released into water, this material may evaporate to a moderate extent. This material has a log octanol-water partition coefficient of greater than 3.0. This material has an estimated bioconcentration factor (BCF) of greater than 100.
Environmental Toxicity:
