Section 3 - HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health Effects
Eye contact with the product ingredients may cause eye irritation with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision. Direct exposure may cause skin irritation (redness, swelling). A single prolonged exposure may result in the material being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.
In general, overexposure to high atmospheric concentrations of alkyl-substituted aromatics may produce central nervous system depression, headache, dizziness, incoordination, nausea and loss of appetite. Aspiration (liquid enters the lung), may cause lung damage due to chemical pneumonia, a condition caused by petroleum-like solvents.
Minute amounts of petroleum hydrocarbons aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury and possible death.
Individuals with preexisting diseases of the kidneys or liver may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures.
Inhalation or ingestion of Heavy Aromatic Naphtha may cause central nervous system depression with anesthetic effects, such as dizziness, headache, confusion, incoordination and loss of consciousness. Higher exposures may result in fatality from gross overexposure. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation. Aspiration hazard! Small amounts aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause lung injury, possibly leading to death. Symptoms of aspiration into the lungs include coughing, gasping, choking, shortness of breath, bluish discolored skin, rapid breathing and heart rate. Chemical pneumonitis from aspiration may result in fever. Pulmonary edema or bleeding, drowsiness, confusion,
coma and seizures may occur in more serious cases. Symptoms may develop immediately or as late as 24 hours after the exposure, depending on how much chemical entered the lungs.
Skin contact may cause skin irritation with discomfort or rash. Xylene can penetrate the skin in amounts capable of causing systemic toxicity. Eye contact may cause eye irritation with discomfort, tearing or blurring of vision. Inhalation of Ethylbenzene may cause irritation of the upper respiratory passages with coughing and discomfort.
Inhalation or ingestion of Xylene or Ethylbenzene may cause nonspecific discomfort, such as nausea, headache, or weakness; or temporary nervous system depression with anesthetic effects such as dizziness, headache, confusion, incoordination, and loss of consciousness.
Inhalation or ingestion of Ethylbenzene may cause abnormal liver or kidney function. Aspiration of Ethyl benzene into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may lead to chemical pneumonitis.
Ingestion of Xylene or Ethylbenzene may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation. Higher exposure to Xylene may lead to cardiac stress; anemia and other blood changes; respiratory effects; possible liver and kidney damage; or fatality from gross overexposure.
Carcinogenicity Information
Naphthalene and Ethylbenzene have been classified by the Internal Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). This IARC classification was based upon limited evidence of carcinogenicity to animals and inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity to humans.
Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Skin Contact
Flush skin with water after contact. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Eyes
In case of contact immediately, flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
Ingestion
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Allow victim to rinse his mouth and then to drink water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.
Notes to Physicians
Activated charcoal mixture may be administered. To prepare activated charcoal mixture, suspend 50 grams activated charcoal in 400-ml water and mix thoroughly. Administer 5 ml/kg or 350 ml for an average adult. Because of the danger of aspiration, emesis or gastric lavage should not be employed unless the risk is justified by the presence of additional toxic substances. Activated charcoal may induce vomiting, but may be given after emesis or lavage to absorb toxic additives. Steroid therapy in mild to moderate cases does not improve outcome. Bacterial pneumonia often occurs after exposure, but prophylactic antibiotics are not indicated and should be reserved for documented bacterial pneumonia.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties
Flash Point(Method Used): 74.0 oC (PMCC)
Flammability Limits: None known
Extinguishing Media
Dry chemical, foam, halon, CO2, water spray (fog). Water stream may splash the burning liquid and spread fire.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES/SPILL CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES
Note: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL) SECTIONS before proceeding with clean up. Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean up. Soak up with sawdust, sand, oil dry or other absorbent material. Remove source of heat, sparks, flame, impact, friction, or electricity. Dike spill. Prevent material from entering sewers, waterways, or low areas.
SPILL CLEAN-UP
Soak up with sawdust, sand, oil dry or other absorbent material.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spills are very slippery and should be cleaned up promptly.
Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling (Personnel)
Avoid breathing vapors or mist. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Handling (Physical Aspects)
Keep away from heat, sparks and flames.
Storage
Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Store in accordance with National Fire Protection Association recommendations.
Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep container tightly closed.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Dermal absorption of Xylene in animals causes narcosis. Toxic effects described in animals by inhalation include upper respiratory irritation; central nervous system effects; behavioral effects; decreased weight gain; hearing loss; and effects on the blood, liver, kidneys, heart, spleen, lungs and bone marrow. By ingestion, xylene caused central nervous system effects; decreased body weight and liver effects. Tests of xylene in animals demonstrate no carcinogenic activity. Xylene does not produce heritable genetic damage in animals or genetic damage in bacterial or mammalian cell cultures. Although abnormal sperm were observed after an interperitoneal injection in rats, xylene did not produce reproductive effects. Developmental toxicity was observed in animals exposed to xylene but only at concentrations that were maternally toxic.
Heavy Aromatic Naphtha is a severe skin irritant, and is an eye irritant, but is not a skin sensitizer in animals. Repeated inhalation exposures caused reduced growth rate, respiratory tract irritation, congestion in liver and spleen, changes in blood tests and equilibrium disturbances. No animal test reports are available to define carcinogenic, mutagenic, developmental or reproductive hazards.
