Product Safety Summary: Exxsol D60 Fluid

Product Safety Summary
EXXSOL  D60 FLUID
This Product Safety Summary document is a high-level summary intended to provide the general
public with an overview of product safety information on this chemical substance. It is not intended
to provide emergency response, medical or treatment information, or to provide a discussion of all
safety and health information. This document is not intended to replace the Material Safety Data
Sheet. Warnings and handling precautions provided below are not intended to replace or supersede
manufacturers' instructions and warning for their consumer products which may contain this
chemical substance.
1. Chemical Identity
Exxsol D60 Fluid is produced from petroleum-based raw materials which are treated with hydrogen in the
presence of a catalyst to produce a low odor, low aromatic hydrocarbon solvent. The major components
include normal paraffins, isoparaffins, and cycloparaffins.
CAS No.: 64742-47-8 Chemical Name: Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated light
CAS No.: 64742-48-9 Chemical Name: Hydrocarbons, C10-C13, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2%
aromatics
2. Product Uses
Exxsol D60 Fluid is a solvent used in industrial and professional applications such as manufacturing process
solvent, metal working, and coatings. It is not sold directly to the public for general consumer uses. This
product may be an ingredient in consumer and commercial applications which may include:
 Metal working solvents  Architectural, construction and traffic marking coatings

3. Physical / Chemical Properties
Exxsol D60 Fluid is a combustible material and should be handled only with adequate ventilation and in
areas without any ignition source present (e.g. no open flames, static electricity sources, or unprotected light
switches).
The flash point for this product is approximately 143ºF / 62ºC.
4. Health Information
Exxsol D60 Fluid is generally recognized to have low acute and chronic toxicity. Vapor or aerosol
concentrations above the exposure limit of 184 parts per million (ppm) in the air can cause eye and lung
irritation and may cause headaches, dizziness or drowsiness. Prolonged or repeated skin contact in an
occupational setting may result in irritation and in these situations, the use of chemical resistant gloves is
recommended. Exxsol D60 Fluid is not regarded as a mutagen or carcinogen, and there is low concern for
reproductive, developmental, or nervous system toxic effects.
5. Additional Hazard Information
If accidentally swallowed, small amounts of liquid may be aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or from
vomiting which may cause severe lung inflammation and lung edema (an accumulation of fluid in the lungs).
This is a medical emergency which must be immediately and properly treated. Do not induce vomiting.

6. Food Contact Regulated Uses
Appropriate manufacturing and distribution practices are employed to ensure the quality of Exxsol D60 Fluid
offered for use in indirect food contact applications.
7. Environmental Information
Exxsol D60 Fluid is readily/rapidly biodegradable and will not persist in the environment. It is not expected to
cause short-term toxicity to fish or other aquatic organisms. Because of its low solubility in water and volatility
(tendency to move from water to air) chronic aquatic toxicity is not expected. Exxsol D60 Fluid is a volatile
organic compound (VOC) and is rapidly degraded in air. Considerable measures are taken to prevent its
release to the atmosphere and minimize any exposure to the environment from manufacturing and use
activities.
8. Exposure Potential
 Workplace exposure – This refers to potential exposure in a manufacturing facility or through

evaporation in various industrial applications. Generally, exposure of personnel in manufacturing
facilities is relatively low because the process, storage and handling operations are enclosed. The
ExxonMobil recommended occupational exposure limit (OEL) is 184 ppm per 8-hour work day.
 Consumer use of products containing Exxsol D60 Fluid – If exposure should occur, it is likely to
be infrequent and of short duration depending on the products used and the conditions under which
they are used. Exposure could occur through the use of commercial metal working solvents or
coatings formulations that contain this product. The best way to prevent exposure to vapors is to
work in well-ventilated areas, wear chemical resistant gloves, and follow good personal hygiene
practices.
 Environmental releases – As a chemical manufacturer, we are committed to operating in an
environmentally responsible manner everywhere we do business. Our efforts are guided by in-depth
scientific understanding of the environmental impact of our operations, as well as by the social and
economic needs of the communities in which we operate. Industrial spills or releases are rare;
however a spill may pose a significant flammability issue. Our operational improvement targets and
plans are based on driving incidents with real environmental impact to zero and delivering superior
environmental performance.
9. Manufacture of Product
 Capacity – Publicly available sources report total global production capacity for this type of solvent
product exceeded 1 billion pounds in 2005 (450 kT).
 Process – Exxsol D60 Fluid is produced from petroleum-based raw materials which are treated with
hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to produce a low odor solvent.

10. Risk Management
 Workplace Risk Management – When using this product, make sure that there is adequate
ventilation. Always use chemical resistant gloves to protect your hands and skin and always wear
eye protection such as chemical goggles. Do not eat, drink, or smoke where chemicals are handled,
processed, or stored. Wash hands and skin following contact. If this product gets into your eyes,
rinse eyes thoroughly for at least 15 minutes with tap water and seek medical attention. Please refer
to the Safety Data Sheet.
 Consumer Risk Management - This chemical is not sold directly to the public for general consumer
uses. If exposure should occur, it is expected to be infrequent and of short duration. Always follow
manufacturers' instructions, warnings and handling precautions when using their products.The best
way to minimize exposure to vapors is to work in well-ventilated areas.
