MSDS Code: 778686 <br />Status: Final <br />Page 3/7 <br />Date of Issue: 30-Jun-2005 <br />Notes to Physician: High-pressure hydrocarbon injection injuries may produce substantial necrosis of underlying tissue despite an <br />innocuous appearing external wound. Often these injuries require extensive emergency surgical debridement and all injuries should be <br />evaluated by a specialist in order to assess the extent of injury. <br />Acute aspirations of large amounts of oil-laden material may produce a serious aspiration pneumonia. Patients who aspirate these oils <br />should be followed for the development of long-term sequelae. Inhalation exposure to oil mists below current workplace exposure limits <br />is unlikely to cause pulmonary abnormalities. <br />5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES <br />Flammable Properties: <br />Flash Point: 365°F / 185°C (PMCC) (minimum) <br />OSHA Flammability Class: Not applicable <br />LEL%: No data <br />UEL%: No data <br />Autoignition Temperature: No data <br />Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: This material may burn, but will not ignite readily. Vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate <br />in low areas. If container is not properly cooled, it can rupture in the heat of a fire. <br />Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, or water spray is recommended. Water or foam may cause frothing of <br />materials heated above 212°F. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in confined spaces. <br />Fire Fighting Instructions: For fires beyond the incipient stage, emergency responders in the immediate hazard area should wear <br />bunker gear. When the potential chemical hazard is unknown, in enclosed or confined spaces, or when explicitly required by DOT, a <br />self contained breathing apparatus should be worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions warrant (see <br />Section 8). <br />Isolate immediate hazard area, keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done with minimal risk. Move <br />undamaged containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done with minimal risk. <br />Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors and to protect personnel. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it <br />can be done with minimal risk. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water used for cooling purposes. <br />6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES <br />This material may burn, but will not ignite readily. Keep all sources of ignition away from spill/release. <br />Stay upwind and away from spill/release. Notify persons down wind of the spill/release, isolate immediate hazard area and keep <br />unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done with minimal risk. Wear appropriate protective equipment including <br />respiratory protection as conditions warrant (see Section 8). <br />Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized drainage systems, and natural waterways. Dike far <br />ahead of spill for later recovery or disposal. Spilled material may be absorbed into an appropriate absorbent material. <br />Notify fire authorities and appropriate federal, state, and local agencies. Immediate cleanup of any spill is recommended. If spill of any <br />amount is made into or upon navigable waters, the contiguous zone, or adjoining shorelines, notify the National Response Center <br />(phone number 800424-8802). <br />E
