First Aid Measures

Oral

Additional Information

DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If conscious, give 2 glasses of water. Aspiration of material
due to vomiting can cause chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal. Get immediate medicalattention. If vomiting occurs naturally, the casualty should lean forward toreduce the risk ofaspiration.
Flush immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention.
Wash with soap and water. Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Get medical
attention if irritation persists. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse and discard shoes
and other leather articles saturated with the material.
Remove exposed person to fresh air if adverse effects are observed. If breathing is labored,
administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped, apply artificial respiration. If irritation persists
or if toxic symptoms are observed, get medical attention.
Note to physician: Treat symptomatically.

Hazards

72 °C, 161.6 °F PMCC (Typical)
CO2, dry chemical, or foam. Water can be used to cool and protect exposed material.
Recommend wearing self-contained breathing apparatus. Water may cause splattering.
Toxic fumes, gases or vapors may evolve on burning. Vapors may be heavier than air andmay travel along the ground to a distant ignition source and flash back. Container may
rupture on heating. Toxic nitrogen oxides may evolve when burning. The alkyl nitratecontained in this product may decompose exothermicly if heated above 120° C. Studies in
the Koenen Tube Test indicate that the reaction is non-explosive even when the alkyl nitrateis present at levels up to 70%.

6Accidental Release Measures

Spill Procedures

Evacuate all non-essential personnel. Personal Protective Equipment must be worn, see
Personal Protection Section for PPE recommendations. Remove sources of ignition. Ventilate
spill area. Prevent entry into sewers and waterways. Pick up free liquid for recycle and/ordisposal. Residual liquid can be absorbed on inert material. Check under Transportation,
Labeling and Other Regulatory Information Section for hazardous substances. If released
consult the Australian Dangerous Goods code.

Storage Procedures

55 °C, 131 °F
Keep away from potential sources of ignition. Open container in a well ventilated area.
Avoid breathing vapors. Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not discharge intodrains or the environment, dispose to an authorized waste collection point. Use appropriate
containment to avoid environmental contamination. DO NOT HEAT. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Empty containers retain material residue. Do not cut, weld, braze, solder, drill,grind or expose containers to heat, flame, spark or other sources of ignition.
45 °C, 113 °F

Loading Temperature

Do not store near potential sources of ignition. Store in well ventilated area. Equip bulk
storage tanks with overfill protection such as high level alarms or secondary containment.
Store drums in area with secondary containment. Storage area should be covered to prevent
rain water from entering. Store at ambient temperatures.

Australia exposure limit of 5 mg per cubic meter, ACGIH STEL of 10 mg per cubic meter.
See Guidance Note [NOHSC:3008 (1995)]. The recommended TWA for 2-Ethylhexyl nitrateis 1 PPM.
Use local exhaust ventilation to control mists or vapors. Additional ventilation or exhaust
may be required to maintain air concentrations below recommended exposure limits.
Use nitrile or neoprene gloves.
Safety glasses. If potential for splash or mist exists, wear chemical goggles or faceshield.
Use full face respirator with an organic vapor cartridge if the recommended exposure limit isexceeded. Use self-contained breathing apparatus for entry into confined space, for otherpoorly ventilated areas and for large spill clean-up sites.
Long sleeve shirt is recommended. Wear either a chemical protective suit or apron whenpotential for contact with material exists. Use chemically protective boots when necessary toavoid contaminating shoes. Do not wear rings, watches or similar apparel that could entrap
the material and cause a skin reaction. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.

Oral Toxicity

Eye Irritation
Skin Irritation

Dermal Toxicity

Toxicological Information-- ACUTE EXPOSURE -The LD50 in rats is > 5000 mg/kg. Based on data from components or similar materials.
Swallowing this material causes irritation of mouth, esophagus and stomach, with nausea,vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain.
Moderate to strong eye irritation. Based on data from components or similar material.
Skin irritant. Based on data from components or similar materials. Prolonged or repeated skincontact as from clothing wet with material may cause dermatitis. Symptoms may include
redness, edema, drying, and cracking of the skin.
The LD50 in rabbits is > 2000 mg/Kg. Based on data from components or similar materials.
Overexposure to organic nitrates by skin contact may cause headache, nausea and decreased

blood pressure.
The following is based on incomplete information on components. Aerosols of this material
are considered TOXIC. Based on data from components or similar materials. Highconcentrations may cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, stupor, and other central nervous
system effects leading to visual impairment, difficulty breathing and convulsions.
Overexposure to organic nitrates by inhalation may cause headache, nausea and decreased
blood pressure.
If material is misted or if vapors are generated from heating, exposure may cause irritation of
mucous membranes and the upper respiratory tract similar to that observed with mineral oil.
Based on data from components or similar materials. Under good industrial hygiene practices
where all exposure limits are observed, respiratory irritation should not be a problem.
Exposure to a high concentration of vapor or mist is irritating to the respiratory tract.
Breathing of vapor or mist may aggravate asthma and inflammatory or fibrotic pulmonary
disease. If fatty acids are over-heated, vapors or entrained mist may cause respiratory
irritation.
May cause skin sensitization. Based on data from components or similar materials.
No data available to indicate product or components may be respiratory sensitizers.
-- CHRONIC EXPOSURE -Repeated overexposure to petroleum naphtha can cause nervous system damage. Repeatedoverexposure to naphthalene may cause destruction of red blood cells with anemia, fever,
jaundice and kidney and liver damage.
A two-year National Toxicology Program (NTP) study found an increased incidence oftumors of the nose in rats exposed to naphthalene by inhalation. In mice similarly exposed,increased incidences of alveolar/bronchiolar adenomas were observed. Naphthalene has beenclassified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a possible humancarcinogen (Group 2B) on the basis of sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental
animals but inadequate evidence in exposed humans. This product is formulated with mineraloils which are considered to be severely refined and not considered to be carcinogenic underIARC. All of the oils in this product have been demonstrated to contain less than 3%
extrables by the IP 346 test.
No data available to indicate product or any components present at greater than 0.1% aremutagenic or genotoxic.
No data available to indicate either product or components present at greater than 0.1% that
may cause reproductive toxicity.
No evidence of adverse effects were found in a developmental toxicity study of 2ethylhexanol in rats. Doses up to 3 ml/kg applied to the skin during the most critical part of
the gestation period produced evidence of toxicity to mothers, but no evidence of injury inthe developing offspring. In a previous study, birth defects were observed by oral
administration, an unlikely route of exposure in the workplace.
