Emergency Overview
Appearance and Odour : Bronze. Clear, bright liquid. Hydrocarbon.
Health Hazards : Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed. Vapours may
cause drowsiness and dizziness. Irritating to skin. May cause
cancer. May cause leukaemia (AML - acute myelogenous
leukaemia). May cause MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome).

Health Hazards
Inhalation : Slightly irritating to respiratory system. Vapours may cause
drowsiness and dizziness.
Skin Contact : Irritating to skin.
Ingestion : Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed.
Signs and Symptoms : Skin irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning
sensation, redness, swelling, and/or blisters. If material enters
lungs, signs and symptoms may include coughing, choking,
wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chest congestion, shortness of
breath, and/or fever. Breathing of high vapour concentrations
may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression resulting in
dizziness, light-headedness, headache, nausea and loss of
coordination. Continued inhalation may result in
unconsciousness and death.
Aggravated Medical : Pre-existing medical conditions of the following organ(s) or organ
Condition system(s) may be aggravated by exposure to this material: Skin.
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. Do not attempt to rescue the victim unless
proper respiratory protection is worn. If the victim has difficulty
breathing or tightness of the chest, is dizzy, vomiting, or
unresponsive, give 100% oxygen with rescue breathing or CPR
as required and transport to the nearest medical facility.
Skin Contact : Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately flush skin with
large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, and follow by
washing with soap and water if available. If redness, swelling,
pain and/or blisters occur, transport to the nearest medical
facility for additional treatment.
Eye Contact : Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least
15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Transport to the nearest
medical facility for additional treatment.
Ingestion : If swallowed, do not induce vomiting: transport to nearest
medical facility for additional treatment. If vomiting occurs
spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration. If
any of the following delayed signs and symptoms appear within
the next 6 hours, transport to the nearest medical facility: fever
greater than 101° F (38.3° C), shortness of breath, chest
congestion or continued coughing or wheezing. Give nothing by
mouth.

General Precautions : Avoid breathing vapours or contact with material. Only use in
well ventilated areas. Wash thoroughly after handling. On
guidance on selection of personal protective equipment see
Chapter 8 of this Material Safety Data Sheet.
Handling : Avoid inhaling vapour and/or mists. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes and clothing. Even with proper grounding and bonding, this
material can still accumulate an electrostatic charge. If sufficient
charge is allowed to accumulate, electrostatic discharge and
ignition of flammable air-vapour mixtures can occur. Be aware of
handling operations that may give rise to additional hazards that
result from the accumulation of static charges. These include but
are not limited to pumping (especially turbulent flow), mixing,
filtering, splash filling, cleaning and filling of tanks and
containers, sampling, switch loading, gauging, vacuum truck
operations, and mechanical movements. These activities may
lead to static discharge e.g. spark formation. Restrict line
velocity during pumping in order to avoid generation of
electrostatic discharge (<= 1 m/s until fill pipe submerged to
twice its diameter, then <= 7 m/s). Avoid splash filling. Do NOT
use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling
operations. The vapour is heavier than air. Beware of
accumulation in pits and confined spaces. Extinguish any naked
flames. Do not smoke. Remove ignition sources. Avoid sparks.
Handling Temperature: Ambient.
Storage : Keep away from aerosols, flammables, oxidizing agents,
corrosives and from other flammable products which are not
harmful or toxic to man or to the environment. Keep container
tightly closed. Must be stored in a diked (bunded) well-ventilated
area, away from sunlight, ignition sources and other sources of
heat. Vapours from tanks should not be released to atmosphere.
Breathing losses during storage should be controlled by a
suitable vapour treatment system. Electrostatic charges will be
generated during pumping. Electrostatic discharge may cause
fire. Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and grounding
(earthing) all equipment to reduce the risk. The vapours in the

Biological Limit Values (BLV) have not been established for this material.
Additional Information : The ACGIH-values are adopted by the local authorities and
have to be adhered to.
SHELL IS is the Shell Internal Standard. Shell has adopted as
Interim Standards the OSHA Z1A values that were established
in 1989 and later rescinded. Skin notation means that significant
exposure can also occur by absorption of liquid through the skin
and of vapour through the eyes or mucous membranes.
Exposure Controls : The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary
depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls
based on a risk assessment of local circumstances. Appropriate
measures include: Adequate explosion-proof ventilation to
control airborne concentrations below the exposure
guidelines/limits.
Personal Protective : Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet
Equipment recommended national standards. Check with PPE suppliers.
Respiratory Protection : If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations
to a level which is adequate to protect worker health, select
respiratory protection equipment suitable for the specific
conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation. Check with
respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where air-filtering
