HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (ANSI Section 3)
Primary route(s) of exposure : Inhalation, skin contact, eye contact, ingestion.
Effects of overexposure :
Inhalation : Irritation of respiratory tract. Prolonged inhalation may lead to loss of appetite, mucous
membrane irritation, drowsiness, dizziness and/or lightheadedness, headache, uncoordination,
nausea, vomiting, central nervous system depression, intoxication, difficulty of breathing,
severe lung irritation or damage, liver damage, kidney damage, convulsions, loss of
consciousness, asphyxiation.
Skin contact : Irritation of skin. Prolonged or repeated contact can cause dermatitis, defatting.
Possible sensitization to skin. Skin contact may result in dermal absorption of component(s) of
this product which may cause central nervous system depression.
Eye contact : Irritation of eyes. Prolonged or repeated contact can cause conjunctivitis, tearing of
eyes, redness of eyes.
Ingestion : Ingestion may cause lung inflammation and damage due to aspiration of material into
lungs, mouth and throat irritation, mucous membrane irritation, dizziness and/or
lightheadedness, headache, uncoordination, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastro-intestinal
disturbances, severe abdominal pain, apathy, central nervous system depression, respiratory
problems, intoxication, difficulty of breathing, kidney damage, pulmonary edema, convulsions,
loss of consciousness, acute poisoning, respiratory failure, cardiac failure, brain damage.
Medical conditions aggravated by exposure : Eye, skin, respiratory disorders, kidney disorders.
FIRST-AID MEASURES (ANSI Section 4)
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. Restore and support continued breathing. Get emergency medical
attention. Have trained person give oxygen if necessary. Get medical help for any breathing
difficulty.
Skin contact : Wash thoroughly with soap and water. If any product remains, gently rub petroleum
jelly, vegetable or mineral/baby oil onto skin. Repeated applications may be needed. Remove
contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Dispose of contaminated
leather items, such as shoes and belts.
Eye contact : Flush immediately with large amounts of water, especially under lids for at least 15
minutes. If irritation or other effects persist, obtain medical treatment.
Ingestion : If swallowed, obtain medical treatment immediately.
FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES (ANSI Section 5)
Fire extinguishing media : Dry chemical or foam water fog. Carbon dioxide. Closed containers may
explode when exposed to extreme heat or fire. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel long
distances to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can form explosive mixtures in air at elevated
temperatures. Closed containers may burst if exposed to extreme heat or fire. Rags, steel wool or
waste soaked with this material may spontaneously catch fire if improperly discarded. Immediately
after use, place soaked rags, steel wool or waste in a sealed water-filled metal container.
Fire fighting procedures : Water may be used to cool and protect exposed containers. Firefighters
should use full protective clothing, eye protection, and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Hazardous decomposition or combustion products : Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, toxic gases.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (ANSI Section 6)
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled : Comply with all applicable health and
environmental regulations. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Ventilate area. Spills may be collected
with absorbent materials. Evacuate all unnecessary personnel. Place collected material in proper
container. Spilled material is extremely slippery. Complete personal protective equipment must be
used during cleanup. Large spills - shut off leak if safe to do so. Dike and contain spill. Pump to
storage or salvage vessels. Use absorbent to pick up excess residue. Keep salvageable material and
rinse water out of sewers and water courses. Small spills - use absorbent to pick up residue and
dispose of properly.
HANDLING AND STORAGE (ANSI Section 7)
Handling and storage : Store below 100f (38c). Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Keep
from freezing.
Other precautions : Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not take internally. Keep out of reach of
children. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and breathing of vapors. Wash hands thoroughly after
handling, especially before eating or smoking. Keep containers tightly closed and upright when not
in use. Empty containers may contain hazardous residues. Ground equipment when transferring to
prevent accumulation of static charge. Avoid spontaneous combustion of contaminated rags and
other easily ignitable organic accumulations.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION (ANSI Section 8)
Respiratory protection : Control environmental concentrations below applicable exposure standards
when using this material. When respiratory protection is determined to be necessary, use a
NIOSH/MSHA (Canadian z94.4) Approved elastomeric sealing- surface facepiece respirator
outfitted with organic vapor cartridges and paint spray (dust/mist) prefilters. Determine the proper
level of protection by conducting appropriate air monitoring. Consult 29CFR1910.134 For selection
of respirators (Canadian z94.4).
Ventilation : Provide dilution ventilation or local exhaust to prevent build-up of vapors. Use explosion-
proof equipment.
Personal protective equipment : Eye wash, safety shower, safety glasses or goggles. Impervious
gloves, impervious clothing, boots.
STABILITY AND REACTIVITY (ANSI Section 10)
Under normal conditions : Stable see section 5 fire fighting measures
Materials to avoid : Oxidizers, acids, bases.
Conditions to avoid : Elevated temperatures, contact with oxidizing agent, freezing, sparks, open
flame, ignition sources.
Hazardous polymerization : Will not occur
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (ANSI Section 11)
Supplemental health information : Notice - reports have associated repeated and prolonged
occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or
fatal.
Carcinogenicity : Stoddard solvent iic has been shown to cause kidney tumors in male rats in a
national toxicology program (NTP) study. These tumors were associated with a specific protein,
alpha- 2u-microglobulin. Because humans do not produce this protein stoddard solvent iic has
not been classified as a human carcinogen.
Reproductive effects : No reproductive effects are anticipated
Mutagenicity : No mutagenic effects are anticipated
