TARGET ORGAN EFFECTS: This material (or component) has been shown to lower activity of certain immune system
cells in experimental animals. The significance of this effect with respect to human health is uncertain. Over-exposure to
this material (its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory animals: blood
abnormalities, liver abnormalities, cataracts, kidney damage, effects on hearing. Overexposure to this material (or its
components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans: liver abnormalities.

DEVELOPMENTAL INFORMATION: This material (or components) may be harmful to the human fetus based on
positive test results with laboratory animals. Cumene (isopropylbenzene) did not cause harm to the unborn pup in
laboratory animal studies, even at levels which were harmful to the pregnant animal.

CANCER INFORMATION: Ethylbenzene and naphthalene have been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. The
relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified
ethylbenzene and naphthalene as a possible human carcinogen.

OTHER HEATH EFFECTS: No Data

PRIMARY ROUTES(S) OF ENTRY: Inhalation, skin absorption, skin contact , eye contact, ingestion.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

EYE: Flush with water for 15-20 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.

SKIN: Wash immediately with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Flush
exposed area with large amounts of water. If skin is damaged, seek immediate medical attention. If skin is not damaged
and symptoms persist, seek medical attention

INHALATION: Remove exposed person to fresh air. If breathing is labored give oxygen. If breathing has stopped apply
artificial respiration. Keep person warm and quiet. Get immediate medical attention.

INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If vomiting does occur, keep head below hips to reduce risk of aspiration. If
conscious, give 2 glasses of water. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth; place individual
on the left side with the head down. . Get immediate medical attention.

NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: Inhalation of high concentrations of this material, as could occur in enclosed spaces or during
deliberate abuse, may be associated with cardiac arrhythmias. Sympathomimetic drugs may initiate cardiac arrhythmias
in persons exposed to this material. This material is an aspiration hazard. Potential danger from aspiration must be
weighed against possible oral toxicity (See Section 3 – Swallowing) when deciding whether to induce vomiting.
Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated by exposure to this material: Skin,
lung (for example, asthma-like conditions), liver, kidney, blood-forming system, immune system, auditory system, and eye.
Individuals with preexisting heart disorders may be more susceptible to arrhythmias (irregular heart beats) if exposed to
high concentrations of material.

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

FLAMMABILITY PROPERTIES: Flash Point ............................................117°F(47°C)

Method ...................................... PMCC ASTM D-93
LFL/UFL .......................................... Not Determined
Auto-ignition Temperature .............. Not Determined

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, and alcohol foam.

FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS: If product is heated above its flash point it will produce vapors sufficient to support
combustion. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground and be ignited by heat, pilot lights, other flames
and ignition sources at locations near point of release. Never use welding or cutting torch on or near drum (even empty)
because product (even just residue) can ignite explosively.

FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Full bunker gear recommended including a positive pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

SMALL SPILLS: Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent, or other absorbent material and transfer to hood.

LARGE SPILL: Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot lights, electrical sparks). Persons not wearing
protective equipment should be excluded form area of spill until clean-y p has been completed. Stop spill at source.
Prevent from entering drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of water. Prevent from spreading. If runoff occurs, notify
authorities as required. Pump vacuum transfer spilled product to clean containers for recovery. Absorb unrecoverable
product. Transfer contaminate absorbent, soil and other materials to containers for disposal. Prevent run-off to sewers,
streams or other bodies of water. If run-off occurs, notify proper authorities as required.

Section 7: Handling and Storage

HANDLING: 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 no discharge into drains or the environment, dispose to an
authorized waste collection point. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Wash thoroughly
after handling. Empty containers retain material residue. Do not cut, weld, braze, drill, grind or expose containers to heat,
flame, spark or other spurces of ignition.

STORAGE: Keep away from heat, flame, or source of ignition. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area out of sunlight.

Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

VENTILATION: Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits.

RESPIRATORY: Use a NIOSH approved respirator when necessary.

SKIN: Use Viton or Nitrile gloves to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.

EYE: Use splash goggles or face shield where splashing is expected or can occur.

EXPOSURE LIMITS: The Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of 5 mg/m3 is suggested for oil mist.

Section 10: Stability and Reactivity

STABILITY: Stable under moderately elevated temperatures and pressures.

INCOMPATIBILITY: Avoid contact with strong oxidants, concentrated chlorine, sodium hypochlorite or calcium hypo-
chlorite, nitric acid, sulfuric acid.

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OF PRODUCT: Toxic oxides of carbon, aldehydes and other products of incomplete
combustion.

Section 11: Toxicological Information

ACUTE EXPOSURE
Eye Irritation: Moderate to strong eye irritation. Based on data from components or similar material.

Skin Irritation: Skin irritant. Based on data from components or similar material. Prolonged or repeated
skin contact as from clothing wet with material may cause dermatitis. Symptoms may
include redness, edema, drying, defatting, and cracking of the skin.

Respiratory Irritation: 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.

CHRONIC EXPOSURE
Chronic Toxicity: Repeated overexposure to naphthalene may cause destruction of red blood cells with
anemia, fever, jaundice and kidney and liver damage.

Carcinogenicity: A two-year national toxicology Program (NTP) study found an increased incidence of
tumors of the nose in rats exposed to ethylbenzene and naphthalene by inhalation. In
mice similarly exposed, increased incidences of alveolar/bronchiolar adenomas were
observed. Naphthalene and ethylbenzene have been classified by the International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B) on
the basis of sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals but inadequate
evidence in exposed humans.

Mutagenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a mutagenic or
genotoxic hazard.

Reproductive Toxicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a reproductive
hazard.

Teratogenicity: No evidence of adverse effects were found in a developmental toxicity study of 2-

ethylhexanol in rats. Dose 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 in
the developing offspring. In a pervious study, birth defects were observed by oral
administration, an unlikely route of exposure in the workplace.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Exposure Limits: Under conditions which may generate mists, observe the OSHA PEL of 5 mg per cubic
meter, ACGIH STEL of 10 mg per cubic meter.
