EC number: 270-726-2 | CAS number: 68477-35-0 A complex combination of hydrocarbons from the distillation of saturated and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons usually ranging in the carbon numbers C3 through C6. It consists of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons having carbon numbers in the range of C3 through C6, predominantly piperylenes.

Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General Information : Keep victim calm. Obtain medical treatment immediately.
Inhalation : DO NOT DELAY. Remove to fresh air. If rapid recovery does
not occur, transport to nearest medical facility for additional
treatment.
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.
Advice to Physician : Potential for chemical pneumonitis. Consider: gastric lavage
with protected airway, administration of activated charcoal.
Potential for cardiac sensitisation, particularly in abuse
situations. Hypoxia or negative inotropes may enhance these
effects. Consider: oxygen therapy. Call a doctor or poison
control center for guidance.
Fire-fighting measures
Clear fire area of all non-emergency personnel.
Specific Hazards : The vapour is heavier than air, spreads along the ground and
distant ignition is possible. Will float and can be reignited on
surface water. Carbon monoxide may be evolved if incomplete
combustion occurs.
Extinguishing Media : Foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon
dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only.
Unsuitable Extinguishing
Media
: Do not use water in a jet.
Protective Equipment for
Firefighters
: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus.
Additional Advice : Keep adjacent containers cool by spraying with water.
Accidental release measures
Observe all relevant local and international regulations. Avoid contact with spilled or released
material. For guidance on selection of personal protective equipment see Chapter 8 of this
Material Safety Data Sheet. See Chapter 13 for information on disposal.
Protective measures : Isolate hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary or
unprotected personnel. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas.
Shut off leaks, if possible without personal risks. Remove all
possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area. Use
appropriate containment (of product and fire fighting water) to
avoid environmental contamination. Prevent from spreading or
entering drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other
appropriate barriers. Attempt to disperse the vapour or to direct
its flow to a safe location for example by using fog sprays.
Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Ensure
electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all
equipment. Ventilate contaminated area thoroughly.
Clean Up Methods : For large liquid spills (> 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means
such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank for recovery or safe
disposal. Do not flush away residues with water. Retain as
contaminated waste. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up
with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely.
Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely.
For small liquid spills (< 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means
to a labelled, sealable container for product recovery or safe
disposal. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an
appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove
contaminated soil and dispose of safely.
Additional Advice : Notify authorities if any exposure to the general public or the
environment occurs or is likely to occur. Local authorities
should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
The vapour is heavier than air, spreads along the ground and
distant ignition is possible. Vapour may form an explosive
mixture with air
Handling and storage
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. Use the
information in this data sheet as input to a risk assessment of
local circumstances to help determine appropriate controls for
safe handling, storage and disposal of this material.
Handling : Avoid inhaling vapour and/or mists. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes, and clothing. Avoid exposure. Obtain special instructions
before use. Extinguish any naked flames. Do not smoke.
Remove ignition sources. Avoid sparks. Electrostatic charges
may be generated during pumping. Electrostatic discharge may
cause 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.
Storage : Vapours from tanks should not be released to atmosphere.
Breathing losses during storage should be controlled by a
suitable vapour treatment system. Bulk storage tanks should
be diked (bunded). The vapour is heavier than air. Beware of
accumulation in pits and confined spaces.
Product Transfer : Electrostatic charges may be generated during pumping.
Electrostatic discharge may cause 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.
Recommended Materials : For containers, or container linings use mild steel, stainless
steel.
Unsuitable Materials : Natural, butyl, neoprene or nitrile rubbers.
Additional Information : Ensure that all local regulations regarding handling and storage
facilities are followed.
