FIRE
|
Flammable.
|
NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking.
|
Water spray,
alcohol-resistant foam,

Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
COLOURLESS LIQUID
, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.
Physical Dangers:
The vapour is heavier than air
and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.
Chemical Dangers:
Reacts with strong oxidants,
causing fire and explosion hazard.
Attacks some forms of plastics and rubber.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV not established.
MAK not established.
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation of its vapour and
by ingestion.
Inhalation Risk:
A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The vapour
is slightly irritating to
the eyes
and
the respiratory tract
.
The substance may cause effects on the
central nervous system
.
Exposure to high concentration of vapours may result in unconsciousness.
Swallowing the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
The liquid defats the skin.
The substance may have effects on the
central nervous system
and
liver
, resulting in
impaired functions
.See Notes.

Environmental
Data

|
N O T E S
|
This is a mixture of n- and iso-paraffins, aromatic hydrocarbons and naphthenes. The contents of benzene is less than 0.1 % by volume.
Depending on the raw material and the production processes, the composition and physical properties of this solvent can vary considerably.
Environmental effects from the substance have not been investigated adequately.
The symptoms of chemical pneumonitis do not become manifest until a few hours or even a few days have passed.
Also consult ICSC 0361 Stoddard Solvent.
