and lower lids.

Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
If skin contact occurs:
Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
Skin Contact
Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
Inhalation
Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained.
Perform CPR if necessary.
Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
Observe the patient carefully.
Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink.
Ingestion
Seek medical advice.
Avoid giving milk or oils.
Avoid giving alcohol.
If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down, lower than their hips to help avoid possible aspiration of
vomitus.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

See Section 11

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Any material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis should not be induced mechanically or pharmacologically. Mechanical means should be used if it is
considered necessary to evacuate the stomach contents; these include gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. If spontaneous vomiting has occurred after ingestion, the patient
should be monitored for difficult breathing, as adverse effects of aspiration into the lungs may be delayed up to 48 hours.
For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or related hydrocarbons:
Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or inhalation, is respiratory failure.
Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g. cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen. Patients with inadequate
tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 50 mm Hg) should be intubated.
Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported; intravenous lines and cardiac
monitors should be established in obviously symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so that hyperventilation improves clearance.
A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.
Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasm because of potential myocardial sensitisation to catecholamines. Inhaled cardioselective
bronchodilators (e.g. Alupent, Salbutamol) are the preferred agents, with aminophylline a second choice.
Lavage is indicated in patients who require decontamination; ensure use of cuffed endotracheal tube in adult patients. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology]

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling

Containers, even those that have been emptied, may contain explosive vapours.
Do NOT cut, drill, grind, weld or perform similar operations on or near containers.
DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skin
Electrostatic discharge may be generated during pumping - this may result in fire.
Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all equipment.
Restrict line velocity during pumping in order to avoid generation of electrostatic discharge (<=1 m/sec until fill pipe submerged to twice its
diameter, then <= 7 m/sec).
Avoid splash filling.
Do NOT use compressed air for filling discharging or handling operations.
Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.
Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
Use in a well-ventilated area.
Safe handling
Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps.
DO NOT enter confined spaces until atmosphere has been checked.
Avoid smoking, naked lights or ignition sources.
Avoid contact with incompatible materials.
When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke.
Keep containers securely sealed when not in use.
Avoid physical damage to containers.
Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
Work clothes should be laundered separately.
Use good occupational work practice.
Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained within this SDS.
Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards to ensure safe working conditions.
Store in original containers.
Keep containers securely sealed.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
Other information
Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.
Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks.
Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained within this SDS.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Metal can or drum

Suitable container Packaging as recommended by manufacturer.
Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.
For alkyl aromatics:
The alkyl side chain of aromatic rings can undergo oxidation by several mechanisms. The most common and dominant one is the attack by
oxidation at benzylic carbon as the intermediate formed is stabilised by resonance structure of the ring.
Following reaction with oxygen and under the influence of sunlight, a hydroperoxide at the alpha-position to the aromatic ring, is the primary
oxidation product formed (provided a hydrogen atom is initially available at this position) - this product is often short-lived but may be stable
dependent on the nature of the aromatic substitution; a secondary C-H bond is more easily attacked than a primary C-H bond whilst a
Storage incompatibility tertiary C-H bond is even more susceptible to attack by oxygen
Monoalkylbenzenes may subsequently form monocarboxylic acids; alkyl naphthalenes mainly produce the corresponding naphthalene
carboxylic acids.
Oxidation in the presence of transition metal salts not only accelerates but also selectively decomposes the hydroperoxides.
Hock-rearrangement by the influence of strong acids converts the hydroperoxides to hemiacetals. Peresters formed from the hydroperoxides
undergo Criegee rearrangement easily.
Alkali metals accelerate the oxidation while CO2 as co-oxidant enhances the selectivity.

Microwave conditions give improved yields of the oxidation products.

Photo-oxidation products may occur following reaction with hydroxyl radicals and NOx - these may be components of photochemical smogs.
Oxidation of Alkylaromatics: T.S.S Rao and Shubhra Awasthi: E-Journal of Chemistry Vol 4, No. 1, pp 1-13 January 2007
Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from the contact between aromatic rings and strong oxidising agents.
Aromatics can react exothermically with bases and with diazo compounds.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE BANDING

Ingredient Occupational Exposure Band Rating Occupational Exposure Band Limit
dichlorotoluene E ≤ 0.1 ppm
Occupational exposure banding is a process of assigning chemicals into specific categories or bands based on a chemical's potency and the
Notes: adverse health outcomes associated with exposure. The output of this process is an occupational exposure band (OEB), which corresponds to a
range of exposure concentrations that are expected to protect worker health.

Exposure controls

Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can
be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection.
The basic types of engineering controls are:
Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically
"adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can remove or dilute an air contaminant if designed properly. The design of a
ventilation system must match the particular process and chemical or contaminant in use.
Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure.

Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate
protection. Supplied-air type respirator may be required in special circumstances. Correct fit is essential to ensure adequate protection.
An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some situations.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area. Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape"
velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.

Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:

0.25-0.5 m/s
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating from tank (in still air).
(50-100 f/min.)
aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, intermittent container filling, low speed conveyer transfers, welding, spray 0.5-1 m/s (100-200
Appropriate engineering drift, plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low velocity into zone of active generation) f/min.)
controls
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas discharge (active 1-2.5 m/s (200-500
generation into zone of rapid air motion) f/min.)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel generated dusts (released at high initial velocity into zone of 2.5-10 m/s
very high rapid air motion). (500-2000 f/min.)

Within each range the appropriate value depends on:

Lower end of the range Upper end of the range

1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to capture 1: Disturbing room air currents
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance value only. 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood-local control only

Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases
with the square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted,
accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of
1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations,
producing performance deficits within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or
more when extraction systems are installed or used.

Personal protection

Safety glasses with side shields.

Chemical goggles.
Eye and face protection
Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing
the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption

and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in
their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and
remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in
a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or
national equivalent]
Skin protection See Hand protection below
Wear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, e.g. Rubber
NOTE:
The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other protective
equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watch-bands should be removed and destroyed.
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance
and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and.has to be observed when
making a final choice.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be
washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selection of gloves include:
· frequency and duration of contact,
· chemical resistance of glove material,
· glove thickness and
· dexterity
Select gloves tested to a relevant standard (e.g. Europe EN 374, US F739, AS/NZS 2161.1 or national equivalent).
· When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time
greater than 240 minutes according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent) is recommended.
· When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes
Hands/feet protection
according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent) is recommended.
· Some glove polymer types are less affected by movement and this should be taken into account when considering gloves for
long-term use.
· Contaminated gloves should be replaced.
As defined in ASTM F-739-96 in any application, gloves are rated as:
· Excellent when breakthrough time > 480 min
· Good when breakthrough time > 20 min
· Fair when breakthrough time < 20 min
· Poor when glove material degrades
For general applications, gloves with a thickness typically greater than 0.35 mm, are recommended.
It should be emphasised that glove thickness is not necessarily a good predictor of glove resistance to a specific chemical, as the permeation
efficiency of the glove will be dependent on the exact composition of the glove material. Therefore, glove selection should also be based on
consideration of the task requirements and knowledge of breakthrough times.
Glove thickness may also vary depending on the glove manufacturer, the glove type and the glove model. Therefore, the manufacturers’
technical data should always be taken into account to ensure selection of the most appropriate glove for the task.
Note: Depending on the activity being conducted, gloves of varying thickness may be required for specific tasks. For example:
· Thinner gloves (down to 0.1 mm or less) may be required where a high degree of manual dexterity is needed. However, these
gloves are only likely to give short duration protection and would normally be just for single use applications, then disposed of.
· Thicker gloves (up to 3 mm or more) may be required where there is a mechanical (as well as a chemical) risk i.e. where there is
abrasion or puncture potential
Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed
moisturiser is recommended.

Cartridge respirators should never be used for emergency ingress or in areas of

The wearer must be warned to leave the contaminated area immediately on
detecting any odours through the respirator. The odour may indicate that the mask is
not functioning properly, that the vapour concentration is too high, or that the mask is
not properly fitted. Because of these limitations, only restricted use of cartridge
respirators is considered appropriate.
Cartridge performance is affected by humidity. Cartridges should be changed after 2
hr of continuous use unless it is determined that the humidity is less than 75%, in
which case, cartridges can be used for 4 hr. Used cartridges should be discarded
daily, regardless of the length of time used

Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ends. This may be due to a non-allergic condition
known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur after exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Main
criteria for diagnosing RADS include the absence of previous airways disease in a non-atopic individual, with sudden onset of persistent
asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. Other criteria for diagnosis of RADS include a reversible
airflow pattern on lung function tests, moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing, and the lack of minimal
lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to
the concentration of and duration of exposure to the irritating substance. On the other hand, industrial bronchitis is a disorder that occurs as a
DICHLOROTOLUENE
result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particles) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases. The
disorder is characterized by difficulty breathing, cough and mucus production.
On repeated exposure, dichlorotoluene can cause changes to the liver, kidney and thymus gland, changes in blood examinations and reduction
in fertility and low birth weight, according to animal testing. Dichlorotoluene has not been shown to cause mutations or genetic damage.

No sensitising effects in guinea pig (OECD 406) GPMT according to Magnusson-Kligman

Animal studies indicate that normal, branched and cyclic paraffins are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and that the absorption of
n-paraffins is inversely proportional to the carbon chain length, with little absorption above C30. With respect to the carbon chain lengths likely to
be present in mineral oil, n-paraffins may be absorbed to a greater extent than iso- or cyclo-paraffins.
The major classes of hydrocarbons are well absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract in various species. In many cases, the hydrophobic
hydrocarbons are ingested in association with fats in the diet. Some hydrocarbons may appear unchanged as in the lipoprotein particles in the
gut lymph, but most hydrocarbons partly separate from fats and undergo metabolism in the gut cell. The gut cell may play a major role in
determining the proportion of hydrocarbon that becomes available to be deposited unchanged in peripheral tissues such as in the body fat stores
or the liver.
For petroleum: This product contains benzene, which can cause acute myeloid leukaemia, and n-hexane, which can be metabolized to
SOLVENT NAPHTHA
compounds which are toxic to the nervous system. This product contains toluene, and animal studies suggest high concentrations of toluene lead

to hearing loss. This product contains ethyl benzene and naphthalene, from which animal testing shows evidence of tumour formation.
AROMATIC
Cancer-causing potential: Animal testing shows inhaling petroleum causes tumours of the liver and kidney; these are however not considered to
be relevant in humans.
Mutation-causing potential: Most studies involving gasoline have returned negative results regarding the potential to cause mutations, including
all recent studies in living human subjects (such as in petrol service station attendants).
Reproductive toxicity: Animal studies show that high concentrations of toluene (>0.1%) can cause developmental effects such as lower birth
weight and developmental toxicity to the nervous system of the foetus. Other studies show no adverse effects on the foetus.
Human effects: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause defatting of the skin which can lead to skin inflammation and may make the skin more
susceptible to irritation and penetration by other materials.
Animal testing shows that exposure to gasoline over a lifetime can cause kidney cancer, but the relevance in humans is questionable.

SECTION 13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Waste treatment methods

Containers may still present a chemical hazard/ danger when empty.

Return to supplier for reuse/ recycling if possible.
Otherwise:
If container can not be cleaned sufficiently well to ensure that residuals do not remain or if the container cannot be used to store the same
product, then puncture containers, to prevent re-use, and bury at an authorised landfill.
Where possible retain label warnings and SDS and observe all notices pertaining to the product.
Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/ or territory. Each user must refer to laws operating in their
area. In some areas, certain wastes must be tracked.
A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:
Reduction
Product / Packaging disposal Reuse
Recycling
Disposal (if all else fails)
This material may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make it unsuitable for its intended use. If it has been
contaminated, it may be possible to reclaim the product by filtration, distillation or some other means. Shelf life considerations should also be
applied in making decisions of this type. Note that properties of a material may change in use, and recycling or reuse may not always be
appropriate.
DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains.
It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal.
In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and these should be considered first.
