Give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if there is no breathing AND no pulse. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY. Inhalation: Start flushing while removing contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation, redness, or a burning sensation develops and persists, repeat flushing and obtain medical attention. Skin Contact: Immediately flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 20 minutes. Hold eyelids open during flushing. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY. Eye Contact: Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If victim is alert and not convulsing, rinse mouth out and give 1/2 to 1 glass of water to dilute material. IMMEDIATELY contact local Poison Control Centre. Vomiting should only be induced under the direction of a physician or a poison control centre. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with head down to avoid breathing in of vomitus, rinse mouth and administer more water. IMMEDIATELY transport victim to an emergency facility. Ingestion: This product contains materials that may cause severe pneumonitis if aspirated. If ingestion has occurred less than 2 hours earlier, carry out careful gastric lavage; use endotracheal cuff if available, to prevent aspiration. Observe patient for respiratory difficulty from aspiration pneumonitis. Give artificial resuscitation and appropriate chemotherapy if respiration is depressed. Vasopressor drugs (e.g. epinephrine, ephedrine etc.) should not be given on their own as there may be danger of cardiac arrhythmia. (7) Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure to this product include neurological and cardiovascular disorders, diseases of the skin, eyes or respiratory tract, preexisting liver and kidney disorders. Note to Physicians: Prolonged or wide spread skin contact may result in the absorption of potentially harmful amounts of material. Skin Absorption: Splashes to the eye may cause irritation, redness and pain. Vapours are mildly irritating to eyes. Eye Contact: This product causes irritation, a burning sensation of the mouth and throat and abdominal pain. Ingestion: Effects (irritancy) on the skin and eyes may be delayed, and damage may occur without the sensation or onset of pain. Strict adherence to first aid measures following any exposure is essential. Prolonged and repeated exposure may cause chemical pneumonitis, cardiac arrhythmia and central nervous system (CNS) depression. CNS depression is characterized by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting and incoordination. Severe overexposures may lead to coma and possible death due to respiratory failure. Petroleum Naphtha may sensitize heart muscle causing cardiac arrhythmia, in rare cases. Other Health Effects: 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Flashpoint (°C) AutoIgnition Temperature (°C) LEL UEL Flammability Limits in Air (%): 40. (3) 230. (3) 0.8. (3) 6.0. (3) B-3: Combustible Liquid Flammability Class (WHMIS): Thermal decomposition products are toxic and may include oxides of carbon and irritating gases. Hazardous Combustion Products: Vapours from this product are heavier than air, and may "travel" to a source of ignition (eg. pilot lights, heaters, electric motors) some distance away, and then "flash back" to the point of product discharge causing an explosion and fire. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Closed containers exposed to heat may explode. Spilled material may cause floors and contact surfaces to become slippery. Enforce NO SMOKING rules. Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Not expected to be sensitive to mechanical impact. Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not available. Rate of Burning: Not available. Explosive Power: Mineral Spirits D38 Brenntag Canada Inc. Date of Revision: 2009 January 28 WHMIS Number : 00064392 Page 3 of 7 Expected to be sensitive to static discharge when vapours are present between the lower and upper explosive limits. Sensitivity to Static Discharge: EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical media for small fires. If only water is available, use it in the form of a fog. Water may cause frothing if it gets below the surface of the liquid and turns to steam. Water fog gently applied to the surface may cause frothing which may extinguish the fire. This material may produce a floating fire hazard in extreme fire conditions. Fire Extinguishing Media: FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers or structures. Use water spray to disperse vapours; re- ignition is possible. Isolate materials that are not involved in the fire and protect personnel. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after the fire is out. Spilled material may cause floors and contact surfaces to become slippery. Instructions to the Fire Fighters: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Fire Fighting Protective Equipment: 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Information in this section is for responding to spills, leaks or releases in order to prevent or minimize the adverse effects on persons, property and the environment. There may be specific reporting requirements associated with spills, leaks or releases, which change from region to region. In all cases of leak or spill contact vendor at Emergency Number shown on the front page of this MSDS. Wear protective clothing. Do not use combustible materials such as sawdust as an absorbent. Recover spilled material on non-combustible absorbents, such as sand or vermiculite, and place in covered containers for disposal. Use spark-resistant tools. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Collect product for recovery or disposal. For release to land, or storm water runoff, contain discharge by constructing dykes or applying inert absorbent; for release to water, utilize damming and/or water diversion to minimize the spread of contamination. Ventilate enclosed spaces. Notify applicable government authority if release is reportable or could adversely affect the environment. Containment and Clean-Up Procedures: 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING Ground and bond equipment and containers to prevent a static charge buildup. Use spark-resistant tools and avoid "splash-filling" of containers. Use normal "good" industrial hygiene and housekeeping practices. Containers exposed to heat may be under internal pressure. These should be cooled and carefully vented before opening. A face shield and apron should be worn. Vent container frequently, and more often in warm weather, to relieve pressure. Enforce NO SMOKING rules in area of use.
