3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
- Health Hazards: Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
- Physical and Chemical hazards: Static discharge. Product can accumulate static charges, which can cause an incendiary electrical discharge.
- Fire and Explosion hazards: Low hazard. Material can form flammable mixtures or can burn only on heating to temperatures at or above the flash point.
- Environmental hazards: Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
- Eyes: Immediately wash with fresh water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
- Skin: Remove contaminated clothing as soon as possible; this will be a fire hazard. Wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation persists, consult a physician. Launder contaminated clothing before re-use. Badly contaminated leather shoes should be discarded.
- Inhalation: In event of over-exposure remove individual to fresh air, taking steps necessary to protect the rescuer. If unconscious but breathing, place in recovery position. If breathing stops, administer artificial respiration. Seek medical assistance.
- Ingestion: If this material is swallowed DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If vomiting begins, lower victim's head in an effort to prevent vomit from entering lungs. IMMEDIATILY SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. If unconscious do not attempt to administer fluids, place in recovery position and protect airway.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
- Extinguishing media: Use water spray, dry chemical, foam or carbon ioxide. NEVER USE WATER IN A JET.
- Special fire fighting procedure: Wear impervious clothing and self contained breathing apparatus. Use water to keep fire exposed containers cool. If a leak or spill has not ignited use water spray to disperse the vapours and to provide protection for personnel attempting to stop a leak. Take care not to spread the fire with water.
- Fire and explosion hazards: Products of combustion may contain carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other toxic materials. Do not enter enclosed or confined space without proper protective equipment including respiratory protection. Solvent vapours are an explosion hazard. Keep material away from sources of ignition. Closed containers may explode from vapour pressure when exposed to extreme heat. Vapours may travel great distances and ignite and flashback to source.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Remove all sources of ignition. Ensure adequate ventilation. Shut off source and contain with sand or earth to prevent entry to water sources and sewers. Contain spill immediately in smallest area possible. Recover as much of the product itself as possible by such method as vacuuming, using an approved vacuum pump powered by a flame proof motor, followed by soaking up of residual fluids by use of absorbent materials. Remove contaminated items including contaminated soil and place in proper containers for disposal. Avoid washing, draining or directing material to sewers.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
- Handle in a well ventilated area or provide efficient exhaust ventilation. Wear long sleeved, chemical resistant gloves, and also safety glasses if there is a risk of splashing. Avoid prolonged contact with the skin. No smoking , no open flames.
- Store in properly designed tanks or approved tightly closed containers in cool, well ventilated situations away from sources of ignition. Protect from static discharges. All hazard precautions given here must be applied to handling of empty containers.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/ PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ingredient Name: Cas No STD LT EXP (8 HRS)
Heavy Solvent Naphta 64742-94-5 OEL 5mg/m3 (oil mist)
- Respiratory Protection: Unprotected inhalation of vapour should be avoided. Self contained breathing apparatus or other suitable protection must be worn if TLV levels are exceeded. Provide adequate ventilation.
- Eye protection: Goggles to BSEN 166 are required when exposed to vapour or when splashing is possible. Eye wash should be provided.
- Skin protection: Unprotected exposure by skin contact to liquid or vapour should be avoided. Protective clothing consisting of impervious gloves (nitrile rubber or PVC) and coveralls should be used when necessary to avoid skin contact.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Primary route of exposure/entry: Eye, skin, inhalation
- Skin/Eye: Vapour may irritate the eyes. Liquid is irritating and potentially damaging to eyes. Liquid may irritate and dry the skin. Prolonged contact may lead to burns and blisters and may aggravate dermatitis.

- Inhalation: vapours may irritate the respiratory tract may lead to headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and unconsciousness. High vapour concentrations are anaesthetic and may have other central nervous system effects including death.
Known toxicological information for the components of the product:
Component: Solvent Rd Dyes
- Toxicological data: Acute toxicity. LD50 (oral rat)> 7500 mg/kg
- Carcinogenicity: Similar products have produced a weak to moderate carcinogenic response in laboratory animals. Therefore there may be a potential risk of skin cancer from prolonged or repeated skin contact with this product in the absence of good personal hygiene. Occasional skin contact with this product is not expected to have serious effects, but good personal hygiene should be practised and repeated skin contact avoided. This product can also produce moderate skin irritation upon prolonged or repeated skin contact. Personal hygiene measures taken to prevent skin irritation are expected to be adequate to prevent undue risk of skin cancer. It has been found that with some azo dyes there is a suspicion that the azo groups can be given off enzymatically in the body. In the case of Solvent red 19 and similar dyes, otoluidine can be formed. This chemical has been found to be carcinogenic in animal studies.
