MSDS Code: 001847 Page 5/8 Status: Final Date of Issue: 21- Feb -2006 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance: Straw colored to dyed red Physical Form: Liquid Odor. Diesel fuel Odor Threshold: No data pH: Not applicable Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): 0 Vapor Density (air=1): > 3 Boiling Point: 300 -690 °F / 149 -366 °C Solubility in Water. Negligible Partition Coefficient (n -octanoUwater) (Kow): No a Specific Gravity: 0.81 -0.88@ 60°F (15.6°C) Bulk Density: 7.08 Ibs/gal Viscosity cSt @ 40 °C: 1.7 -4.1 Percent Volatile: Negligible@ ambient conditions Evaporation Rate (nBuAc=tt): <1 Flash Point: 125 -180 °F / 52 -82 °C Test Method: Pensky- Martens Closed Cup (PMCC), ASTM D93, EPA 1010 LEL%: 0.3 UEL%: 10.0 Autoignition Temperature: 500 °F / 260 °C 10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Stability: Stable under normal ambient end anticipated storage and handling conditions of temperature and pressure. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor can cause flash fire. : onditions to Avoid: Avoid all possible sources of ignition (see Sections 5 and 7). Materials to Avoid (Incompatible Materials): Avoid contact with strong oxidants such as liquid chlorine, concentrated oxygen, sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, etc. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Combustion can yield carbon, nitrogen and sulfur oxides. The use of hydrocarbon fuel in an area without adequate ventilation may result in hazardous levels of combustion products (e.g., oxides of carbon, sulfur and nitrogen, benzene and other hydrocarbons) and/or dangerously low oxygen levels. See Section 11 for additional information on hazards of engine exhaust. IARC has classified Diesel exhaust as probably carcinogenic in humans. Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Chronic Data: Diesel Fuel No. 2 (6847644 -8) Carclnogenlclty: Petroleum middle distillates have been shown to cause skin tumors in mice following repeated and prolonged skin contact. Follow -up studies have shown that these tumors are produced through a non- genotoxic mechanism associated with frequent cell damage and repair, and that they are not likely to cause tumors in the absence of prolonged skin irritation. Animal studies have also shown that washing the skin with soap and water can reduce the tumor response. Middle distillates with low polynuciear aromatic hydrocarbon content have not been Identified as a carcinogen by NTP, IARC or OSHA. Target Organs: Limited evidence of renal impairment has been noted from a few older case reports Involving excessive exposure to diesel fuel No. 2. However, renal toxicity has not been demonstrated to be a consistent finding of diesel fuel exposure. Naphthalene (91-20-3) Carcinogen /city: Naphthalene has been evaluated In two year inhalation studies in both rats and mice. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) concluded that there is dear evidence of carcinogenicity in male and female rats based on increased incidences of respiratory epithelial adenomas and olfactory epithelial neurobiastomas of the nose. NTP found some evidence of carcinogenicity in female mice (alveolar adenomas) and no evidence of carcinogenicity in male mice. Naphthalene has been identified as a carcinogen by IARC and NTP.
