MSDS.
Major Route(s) of Entry: Skin Contact. Eye Contact. Inhalation. Absorption.
Signs and Symptoms of Acute Exposure:
Inhalation:
Breathing high concentrations of vapor may cause respiratory
irritation,
euphoria, excitation or giddiness, headache, nausea,
vomiting, abdominal
pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, muscular weakness,
staggering gait, and
central nervous system (CNS) depression. CNS effects include
dimness,
drowsiness, disorientation, vertigo, memory loss, visual
disturbances,
difficulty with breathing, convulsions, unconsciousness,
paralysis, coma,
and even death, depending upon level of exposure
concentration and/or
duration. Sudden death from cardiac arrest (heart attack)
may result from
exposure to greater than 10,000 ppm for only 5 minutes. And,
approximately
20,000 ppm (or 2 vol.%) in air is fatal to
humans in 5 to 10 minutes.
Eye Contact:
Animal
test results on similar materials suggest that this product can
cause minimal to mild eye irritation upon short-term
exposure. Symptoms
include stinging, watering, redness, and swelling.
Skin Contact:
Animal test results on similar materials suggest that this product
can
cause mild to moderate skin irritation. Short-term contact
symptoms
include redness, itching, and burning of the skin. This
material may also
be absorbed through the skin and produce CNS depression
effects (see
"Inhalation" above). If the skin is damaged, absorption
increases.
Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause moderate to severe
dermatitis.
Chronic symptoms may include drying, swelling, scaling, blistering,
cracking, and severe tissue damage.
Ingestion:
If
swallowed, this material may irritate the mucous membranes of the
mouth, throat, and esophagus. It can be readily absorbed by
the stomach
and intestinal tract. Symptoms include a burning sensation
of the mouth
and esophagus, nausea, vomiting, dimness, staggering gait,
drowsiness,
loss of consciousness, and delirium, as well as additional
central nervous
system (CNS) effects (see "Inhalation" above). Due
to its light viscosity,
there is a danger of aspiration into the lungs during
vomiting. Aspiration
can result in severe lung damage or death. Progressive CNS
depression,
respiratory insufficiency, and ventricular fibrillation may
also result
in death.
Chronic Health Effects Summary:
Chronic effects of ingestion and subsequent aspiration into the lungs
may
cause pneumatocele (lung cavity) formation and chronic lung
dysfunction.
People chronically exposed to jet fuel (similar to this
hydrotreated
middle distillate) at an average concentration of 250 mg/m3
(approx 85
ppm) in air for 4 to 32 years showed higher incidence of
neuro-psychiatric
symptoms than unexposed persons. Symptoms included anxiety,
sleep
disturbances, irritability, attention deficits, memory
impairment,
depression, fatigue, mood and personality changes, and
neurasthenic
syndrome. Also, reports have associated repeated and
prolonged
occupational overexposure to similar solvents with
irreversible brain
and nervous system damage (sometimes referred to as
"Solvent or Painters
Syndrome"). Intentional misuse by deliberately
concentrating and inhaling
this product may be harmful or fatal. (See
Section 11.)
Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Personnel with pre-existing central nervous system (CNS) disease,
neurological conditions, skin disorders, liver or kidney
function, or
chronic respiratory diseases should avoid exposure.
Target Organs:
This substance is toxic to lungs, central nervous system, brain, mucous
membranes, skin, eyes, and possibly, the liver and
kidneys.
Carcinogenic Potential:
This product does not contain any components at concentrations above
0.1%
which are considered carcinogenic by OSHA, IARC, or
NTP.
OSHA Hazard Classification is indicated by an
"X" in the box adjacent to the
hazard title. If no "X" is present, the
product does not exhibit the hazard as

SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Take proper precautions to ensure your own
health and safety before attempting
rescue or providing first aid. For more specific
Information, refer to
Exposure Controls and Personal Protection in
Section 8 of this MSDS.
Inhalation:
Immediately move victim to fresh air. If victim is not breathing,
immediately begin rescue breathing. If heart has stopped,
immediately
begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). If breathing is
difficult,
100 percent humidified oxygen should be administered by a
qualified
individual. Seek medical attention immediately.
Eye Contact:
Check
for and remove contact lenses. If irritation or redness develops,
flush eyes with cool, clean, low-pressure water for at least
15 minutes.
Hold eyelids apart to ensure complete irrigation of the eye and
eyelid
tissue. Do not use eye ointment. Seek medical attention
immediately.
Skin Contact:
Remove contaminated shoes and clothing. Flush affected area with
large
amounts of water. If skin surface is damaged, apply a clean
dressing and
seek medical attention. Do not use ointments. If skin
surface is not
damaged, clean affected area thoroughly with mild soap and
water. Seek
medical attention if tissue appears damaged or if pain or
irritation
persists.
Ingestion:
Do
not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth. If spontaneous vomiting
is about to occur, place victim's head below knees. If
victim is drowsy
or unconscious, place on the left side with head down. Never
give
anything by mouth to a person who is not fully conscious. Do
not leave
victim unattended. Seek medical attention immediately.
Notes to Physician:
Inhalation overexposure can produce toxic effects. Monitor for
respiratory
distress. If cough or difficulty in breathing develops,
evaluate for upper
respiratory tract inflammation, bronchitis, and pneumonitis.
Vigorous
anti-inflammatory/steroid treatment may be required at first
evidence of
upper airway or pulmonary edema. Administer 100 percent
humidified
supplemental oxygen with assisted ventilation, as required.
If ingested,
this material presents a significant aspiration/lipoid or
chemical
pneumonitis hazard. As a result, induction of emesis is not
recommended.
Administer an aqueous slurry of activated charcoal followed by a
cathartic such as magnesium citrate or sorbitol. Also,
treatment may
involve careful gastric lavage if performed soon after
ingestion or in
patients who are comatose or at risk of convulsing. Protect
the airway by
cuffed endotracheal intubation or by placement of the body
in a
Trendelenburg and left lateral decubitus position. Obtain
chest X-ray and
liver function tests. Monitor for cardiac function,
respiratory distress
and arterial blood gases in severe exposure cases.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
NFPA Flammability OSHA/NFPA Class-11113 Liquid. Slightly combustible!
Classification:
Flash Point Method: CLOSED CUP: 120 - 135C (248 - 275F)(
Cup)ASTM D-92))
Lower Flammable Limit: AP 0.7 %
Upper Flammable Limit: AP 5.0 %
Autoignition Temperature: AP 343 to 371 C
(650 to 700 F)
Hazardous Combustion Products:
Burning
or excessive heating may produce smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon
dioxide, and possibly other harmful gases/vapors.
Special Properties:
This material releases vapors at or approaching its flash point
temperature. When mixed with air in certain proportions and
exposed to
an ignition source, its vapor can cause a flash fire. Mists
or sprays
may be flammable at temperatures below the flash point. Use
only with
adequate ventilation. Vapors are heavier the air and may
travel long
distances along the ground to an ignition source and flash
back. May
create vapor/air explosion hazard in confined spaces such as
sewers. If
container is nt properly cooled, it can rupture in the heat
of a fire.
A
static electrical charge can accumulate as a result of transfer flow or
agitation. Discharge (static spark) can ignite vapors,
especially in cold,
dry weather conditions. Special slow load and monitoring
procedures for
"switch loading" must be followed to avoid the static
ignition hazard that
can exist when this material is loaded into tanks previously
containing
gasoline or other low flash point products. To reduce this
hazard,
receiving containers should always be grounded and the
loading nozzle
must be kept in contact with the container during the entire
filling
process. Do not fill any portable container in or on a
vehicle without
proper bonding.
Extinguishing Media:
SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide (CO2), foam, water fog,
or
inert gas (nitrogen).
LARGE FIRE: Use foam, water fog, or waterspray. Water fog and spray
are
effective in cooling containers and adjacent structures but
might cause
frothing and/or may not achieve extinguishment. A water jet
may be use
to cool the vessel's external walls to prevent pressure
build-up,
auto-ignition, or explosion. NEVER use a water jet directly
on the fire
because it may spread the fire to a larger area.
Fire Fighting Protective Clothing:
Firefighters must use full bunker gear including NIOSH-approved
positive
pressure self-contained breathing apparatus to protect
against potential
hazardous combustion or decomposition products and oxygen
deficiencies.
Evacuate area and fight the fire from a maximum distance or use
unmanned
hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cover pooling liquid with
foam.
Containers can build pressure if exposed to radiant heat; cool
adjacent
containers with flooding quantities of water until well
after the fire is
out. Withdraw immediately from the area if there is a rising
sound from
venting safety devices or discoloration of vessels, tanks,
or pipelines.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Take proper precautions to ensure your own
health and safety before attempting
spill control or clean-up. For more specific
information, refer to the
Emergency Overview on Page 1, Exposure
Controls and Personal Protection in
Section 8 and Disposal Considerations In Section 13 of this MSDS.
Release may cause a fire or explosion hazard,
especially if misted. Evacuate
all non-essential personnel from immediate area
and establish a "regulated
zone" with site control and security. A vapor-suppressing foam may be used to
reduce vapors. Eliminate all ignition sources. All
equipment used when
handling this material must be grounded. Stop the leak
if it can done without
risk. Do not touch or walk through spilled
material. Remove spillage
immediately from hard, smooth walking areas. Prevent its
entry into waterways,
sewers, basements, or confined areas. Absorb or
cover with dry earth, sand, or
other non-combustible material and transfer to
appropriate waste containers.
Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect
absorbed material.
For large spills, secure the area and control
access. Dike far ahead of a
liquid spill to ensure complete collection. Water
mist or spray may be used
to reduce or disperse vapors; but, it may not
prevent ignition in dosed
spaces. This material will float on water and its
run-off may create an
explosion or fire hazard. Verify that responders are
property HAZWOPER-trained
and wearing appropriate respiratory equipment
and fire-resistant protective
clothing during cleanup operations. In an urban area,
cleanup spill as soon as
possible; in natural environments, cleanup on advice
from specialists. Pick up
free liquid for recycle and/or disposal if it can
be accomplished safely with
explosion-proof equipment. Collect any excess material with
absorbant pads,
sand, or other inert non-combustible absorbent
materials. Place into
appropriate waste containers for later disposal. Comply
with all laws and
regulations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
A
spill or leak may cause a fire/explosion hazard. Keep containers closed
and do not handle or store near heat, sparks, or any other
potential
ignition sources. Bond and ground all equipment before
transferring this
material from one container to another. Do not contact with
oxidizable
materials. Do not breathe vapor. Us only with adequate
ventilation/
personal protection. Never siphon by mouth. Avoid contact
with eyes,
skin, at clothing. Prevent contact with food, chewing, or
smoking
materials. Do not take internally.
When performing repairs and maintenance on contaminated equipment,
keep
unnecessary persons away from the area. Eliminate all
potential ignition
sources. Drain and purge equipment, as necessary, to remove
material
residues. Use gloves constructed of impervious materials and
protective
clothing if direct contact is anticipated. Provide
ventilation to maintain
exposure potential below applicable exposure limits.
Promptly remove
contaminated clothing.
after handling.
Empty containers may contain material residues which can ignite
with
explosive force. Misuse of empty containers can be dangerous
if used to
store toxic, flammable, or reactive materials. Cutting or
welding of
empty containers can cause fire, explosion, or release of
toxic fumes
from residues. Do not pressurize or expose empty containers
to open flame,
sparks, or heat. Keep container closed and drum bungs in
place. Label
warnings and precautions must be observed. Return empty
drums to a
qualified reconditioner. Consult appropriate federal, state
and local
authorities before reusing, reconditioning, reclaiming,
recycling, or
disposing of empty containers and/or waste residues of this
material.
Storage:
Store
and transport in accordance with all applicable laws. Keep
containers tightly dosed and store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated place,
plainly labeled, and out of dosed vehicles. Keep away from
all ignition
sources! Ground all equipment containing this material.
Containers should
be able to withstand pressures expected warming and cooling
in storage.
This combustible liquid should be stored in a separate safety cabinet
or
room. All electrical equipment in areas where this material
is stored or
handled should be installed in accordance with applicable
requirements of
the N. F.P.A's National Electrical Code (NEC).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL
PROTECTION
Engineering Controls:
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep
the
airborne concentrations of vapor and/or mists below the
pertinent exposure
limits (see below). All electrical equipment should comply
with the NFPA
NEC Standards. Ensure that an emergency eye wash station and
safety shower
are near the work-station location.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Personal protective equipment should be selected based upon the
conditions
under which this material is used.
Eye Protection:
Safety glasses with side shields are recommended as a minimum
protection.
During transfer operations or when there is a likelihood of
misting,
splashing, or spraying, chemical goggles and face shield
should be worn.
Suitable eye wash water should be readily available.
Hand Protection:
Avoid skin contact and use gloves (disposable PVC, neoprene,
nitrile,
vinyl, or PVC/NBR). Before eating, drinking, smoking, use of
toilet
facilities, or leaving work, wash hands with plenty of mild
soap and
water. DO NOT use gasoline, kerosene, other solvents, or
harsh abrasive
skin cleaners.
Body Protection:
Avoid skin contact. It is recommended that fire-retardant garments
(e.g.
Nomex(tm)) be worn while working with flammable and combustible
liquids.
If
splashing or spraying is expected, chemical-resistant protective
clothing (Tyvek(r), nitrile, or neoprene) should be worn.
This might
include long-sleeves, apron, slicker suit, boots, and
additional facial
protection. If general contact occurs, IMMEDIATELY remove
soaked clothing
and take a shower. Contaminated leather goods should be
removed promptly
and discarded.
Respiratory Protection:
For
unknown vapor concentrations use a positive-pressure, pressure-demand,
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). For known vapor
concentrations
above the occupational exposure guidelines (see below), use
a NIOSH-
approved organic vapor respirator if adequate protection is
provided.
Protection factors vary depending upon the type of respirator used.
Respirator use should follow OSHA requirements (29 CFR 1910.134) or
equivalent standard (e.g. ANSI Z88.2).
General Comments:
Warning! If used as a fuel, this material's engine exhaust may cause
upper
respiratory tract irritation and reversible pulmonary
effects. Use of
hydrocarbon fuel in spaces without adequate ventilation may
result in
generation of hazardous levels of combustion products and
inadequate
oxygen levels for breathing. Odor is an inadequate warning
for hazardous
conditions.

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
For other health-related information, refer
to the Emergency Overview on
Page 1 and the Hazards
Identification in Section 3 of this MSDS.
Toxicity Data:
Kerosine (similar to this Mineral Seal
Oil):
ORAL (LD50): Acute: GT 5,000 mg/kg (Rat
screen) - Diarrhea, hypoactivity, and
somnolence.
ORAL (LD50): Acute: 2,835 mg/kg (Rabbit) -
Respiratory stimulation and muscle
weakness.
ORAL (LD50): Acute: 20 mg/kg (Guinea Pig) -
Respiratory stimulation and muscle
weakness.
INTRAVENOUS (LD50): Acute: 180 mg/kg (Rabbit)
- Respiratory stimulation,
tremors, and coma.
INTRATRACHEAL (LD50): Acute: 800 mg/kg (Rat)
- Convulsions, dyspnea, and
cyanosis.
INTRATRACHEAL (LD50): Acute: 200 mg/kg
(Rabbit) - Convulsions and cyanosis.
INTRAPERITONEAL (LD50): Acute: 6,600 mg/kg
(Rabbit) - Pulmonary edema,
emphysema, and changes to the bronchi.
Hydrodesulfurized Kerosine (similar to this
Mineral Seal Oil):
ORAL (LD50): Acute: GT 5,000 mg/kg (Rat
screen) - Excess salivation, diarrhea,
hair loss, hypoactivity, and somnolence.
GAS (LC50): Acute: GT 5,200 mg/L for 4 hours
(Rat screen)) - Dyspnea.
DERMAL (LD50): Acute: GT 2,000 mg/kg (Rabbit
screen).
There is very limited toxicology data
available for mineral seal oil; however,
its toxicity is considered to be similar to or
less toxic than of kerosene.
Mineral seal oil can produce varying types of
skin reactions in humans,
normally only mild to moderate but occasionally
severe irritation. As an
ingredient of numerous household products, mineral seal
oil has been involved
in many accidental or intentional poisonings,
especially amongst young
children. Symptoms of ingestion poisoning have
included lethargy, fever,
elevated white blood count, rapid heart beat, and
rapid breathing. A 12-year
old girl survived ingestion of 8 ounces of
furniture polish containing 99%
mineral seal oil; and this oil appeared in her
urine, suggesting systemic
uptake and distribution. Chronic inhalation of its
oil mist may result in
accumulation of oil droplets in the lung, with
accompanying pulmonary
fibrosis. Similar materials have also been associated
with liver and kidney
damage in subchronic (90-day) inhalation studies
with male rats.
This product is a severely hydrotreated
mineral seal oil which does NOT
contain any potentially carcinogen compounds.
Laboratory data associated some
mixtures of petroleum hydrocarbons with boiling
ranges between 300 and 700 F,
commonly referred to as "middle distillates,
including kerosine and some
mineral seal oils" have caused increased
incidence of skin tumors at the site
of contact when applied repeatedly (twice per
week) over the lifetime of the
test animals (12 to 24 months). Studies have
shown that washing the animals
skin with soap and water between applications
greatly reduces the carcinogenic
effect of these middle distillates.
TSCA Section 8(e) submittals concerning
hydrodesulfurized middle distillate
and chemically-neutralized middle distillate
streams identified as mineral
seal oils were reported to have shown positive
mutagenic responses in the
modified Salmonella/microsome (Ames) and in-vitro
mouse cell transformation
assays, but also, a negative response for an
in-vitro chromosomal abberration
assay. Additionally, hydrodesulfurized kerosine,
untreated (straight-run)
kerosine, and hydrotreated light distillate (which
are all similar to
mineral seal oil) produced negative mutagenic
responses in the
Salmonella/microsome (Ames) assay, the
in-vivo rat bone marrow cell
chromosome abberations assay, the in-vitro mouse
lymphoma assay, and the
in-vitro Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) sister chromatid
exchange (SCE) assay;
however, the in-vivo mouse SCE assay and in-vitro
S9-activated CHO SCE assay
produced positive responses. The significance of
these mixed animal study
results for human health is unclear.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity:
Ecological effects testing has not been conducted on this
material. If
spilled, this material, its storage tank water bottoms and
sludge, and
any contaminated soil or water may be hazardous to human,
animal, and
aquatic life.
Using Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Dungeness Crab
(Cancer
magister), and juvenile American Shad (Squalius cephalus),
similar middle
distillate/kerosenes showed a 96-hour TLms (Median Toxic
Limit) of
from 5 ppm to 20 ppm in ambient saltwater. Also, 24-hour and
96-hour
TLms produced results from 10 ppm to 200 ppm when using Bluegill
Sunfish
(Lepomis macrochirus), Goldfish (Carassius auratus), and Guppy
(Lebistes
refculatus) in fresh water. Based upon actual spill
incident
investigations, similar kerosene mixtures have been shown to
bioaccumuiate
in tissues of various fish from a 1 ppm to 10 ppm
levels.
Environmental Fate:
This mineral seal oil is potentially toxic to freshwater and
saltwater
ecosystems. It will normally float on water with its lighter
components
evaporating fairly rapidly. In stagnant or slow-flowing
waterways, this
hydrocarbon layer can cover a large surface area. As a
result, this
covering layer might limit or eliminate natural atmospheric
oxygen
transport into the water. With time, if not removed, oxygen
depletion
in the waterway might be enough to cause a fish kill or
create an
anaerobic environment. This coating action can also be
harmful or fatal
to plankton, algae, aquatic life, and water birds.
Additionally, potable
water and boiler feed water systems should NEVER be allowed
more than
5 ppm contamination from this material.
For
additional ecological information concerning components of this
product, users should refer to the Hazardous Substances Data
Bank(r) and
the Oil and Hazardous Materials/Technical Assistance Data
System
(OHM/TADS) maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
(See
Section 2 for components.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Hazard characteristic and regulatory waste
stream classification can change
with product use. Accordingly, it is the
responsibility of the user to
determine the proper storage, transportation,
treatment and/or disposal
methodologies for spent materials and residues at the time
of disposition.
Maximize material recovery for reuse or
recycling. If spilled material is
introduced into a wastewater treatment system, chemical
and biological oxygen
demand (COD and BOD) will likely increase. This
material is biodegradable if
gradually exposed to microorganisms, preferably in an
aerobic environment. In
sewage seeded wastewater, at or below
concentrations of 0.2 vol. % of this
material, there is little or no effect on
bio-oxidation and/or digestion.
However, at 1 vol. %, it doubles the required
digestion period. Higher concen-
trations interfere with floc formation and sludge settling
and also plug
filters or exchange beds. Vapor emissions from a
bio-oxidation process
contaminated by this material might prove to be a health
hazard. Conditions
of use may cause this material to become a
hazardous waste, as defined by
Federal or State
regulations. It is the
responsibility of the user to
determine if the material is a RCRA "hazardous
waste" at the time of
disposal. Transportation, treatment, storage, and
disposal of waste material
must be conducted in accordance with RCRA
regulations (see 40 CFR Parts 260
through 271). State and/or local regulations might
be even more restrictive.
Contact the RCRA/Superfund Hotline at (800)
424-9346 or your regional US
EPA office for guidance
concerning case specific disposal issues.
