Fire fighting measures
Extinguishing media：Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, dry sand, foam

Prohibited extinguishing media：Water spray－ 3/9 －No. DEFC0522

AQUALYTE Water Standard 0.02

Particular fire fighting：Move containers from fire area if it can be done without risk,
if not possible, apply water from a safe distance to cool andprotect surrounding area.
Fight fire from windward.
Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide or dry sand should be
used for small fires. Foam extinguisher is effective for a large
scale fire.
Protection for firefighters：Firefighters should wear protective equipment.

6.

Accidental release measures
Cautions for personnel：Wear proper protective equipment and avoid contact with skinand inhalation of vapor. Conduct operations from upwind andevacuate people downwind. Remove all sources of ignition. Keepaway personnel except for authorized ones from spillage areaby stretching ropes.
Cautions for environment：Attention should be given to avoid damage to the environment
by flowing of spillage to rivers.
Removal measure：Absorb spill with inert material (e.g., diatomaceous earth, sand)and flush spillage area with copious amounts of water.

Prevention of second accident：Remove nearby sources of ignition and prepare extinguishingmedia.

7.

Cautions of handling and storage
Handling
Engineering measures：Wear proper protective equipment to avoid contact with skin or
inhalation of vapor. Pay attention to fire.
Cautions for safety handling：Use with an enclosed system or a local exhaust ventilation. Use
in well-ventilated areas.
Storage
Adequate storage condition：Store in a dark, cool place and tightly closed.

11. Toxicological information
Acute toxicity：Harmful if swallowed(category 4)
Dermal : Out of category
Inhalation(vapor) : Out of category
Inhalation (dust, mist) : Not possible to classify because ofinsufficient data.
(as methycyclohexane)
mouse oral LD50=1200mg/kg
rabbit skin LD50>86700mg/kg
There is the description that death is not observed with 7500
-10000ppm on mouse but observed with 2-hour exposure to
10000-12,500ppm (4-hour equivalent assuming 10000ppm:28.399mg/L). It was judged that there is no death observed
below 28.399mg/L (equivalent of 7082ppm), and acute toxicity(inhalation:vapor) was classified into out of category.

Skin corrosion/irritation：Out of category
It was set as out of category from description that the skin
was stimulated without concrete case report, and descriptionthat mild irritating was acknowledged in the test applied to theskin of the rabbit although it was exposure for 24 hours.
Serious eye damage/eye irritation：Causes eye irritation(category 2B)
Based on the description that mild irritant property wasacknowledged in the test applied to the eyes of the rabbits,
and on the descriptions that it stimulated the eyes, wecategorized it as category 2B although there were no concrete－ 6/9 －No. DEFC0522

case reports.
Respiratory sensitization or Skin sensitization：Respiratory sensitization : Not possible to classify because ofinsufficient data.
Skin sensitization : Not possible to classify because ofinsufficient data.
Mutagenicity：Not possible to classify because of insufficient data.

Carcinogenic effects ：Not possible to classify because of insufficient data
Effects on the reproductive system：Not possible to classify because of insufficient data.
Specific target organ systemic toxicity single exposure：May cause drowsiness and dizziness(category 3)
Because of descriptions referring to confirmation of abdominal
positions in inhalation exposure tests with mice, and of a
description referring to that anesthetic actions were confirmed
in an inhalation exposure test using rabbits, and of descriptions
referring to that central nervous systems were affected, it
was judged that there were anesthetic actions, and determinedas category 3 (anesthetic actions).
Specific target organ systemic toxicity repeated exposure：Not possible to classify because of insufficient data.
Aspiration hazard：May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways(category 1)
Since it is a hydrocarbon and the dynmic viscosity is about
0.95 mm2/s at 20 ℃, and the dynamic viscosity at 40 ℃ is
considered to be less than 20.5 mm2/s, it was classified into
category 1.
