Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

SWALLOWED

· 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.
· Seek medical advice.

EYE

If this product comes in contact with eyes:
· Wash out immediately with water.
· If irritation continues, seek medical attention.
· Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.

SKIN

If skin or hair contact occurs:
· Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
· Seek medical attention in event of irritation.

INHALED

· If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
· Other measures are usually unnecessary.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN

For acute or short term repeated exposures to xylene:
· Gastro-intestinal absorption is significant with ingestions. For ingestions exceeding 1-2 ml 
(xylene)/kg, intubation and lavage with cuffed endotracheal tube is recommended. The use of 
charcoal and cathartics is equivocal.
· Pulmonary absorption is rapid with about 60-65% retained at rest.
· Primary threat to life from 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 or pCO2 > 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.

INGREDIENT DATA

DISTILLATES, PETROLEUM, LIGHT, HYDROTREATED:
TITANIUM DIOXIDE:
   Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on 
the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for these 
irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborne 
concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should be 
protected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are established 
using uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no-
observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human results 
are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in 
determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling 
values (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLV 
STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints 
combine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five-
category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life. 
However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU) 
Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely 
allied to that of the USA.
   OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:
   · cause inflammation
   · cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents
   · lead to permanent injury or dysfunction
   · permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and
   · acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus 
increasing the risk of overexposure.

TITANIUM DIOXIDE:
   WARNING: This substance has been classified by the IARC as Group 2B: Possibly 
Carcinogenic to Humans.
   Animal studies at 10 mg/m3 show no significant fibrosis, possibly reversible tissue 
reaction and the architecture of lung air spaces remains intact.

DISTILLATES, PETROLEUM, LIGHT, HYDROTREATED:
   for petroleum distillates:
   CEL TWA: 500 ppm, 2000 mg/m3 (compare OSHA TWA).
   ES TWA: 5 mg/m3 refined mineral oil mist.
   Human exposure to oil mist alone has not been demonstrated to cause health effects 
except at levels above 5 mg/m3 (this applies to particulates sampled by a method that 
does not collect vapour). It is not advisable to apply this standard to oils containing 
unknown concentrations and types of additive.
   CEL TWA: 300 ppm, 2100 mg/m3

PERSONAL PROTECTION

EYE

· Safety glasses with side shields
· Chemical goggles.
· Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and 
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens 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].

HANDS/FEET

· Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
· Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.

OTHER

· Overalls.
· P.V.C. apron.
· Barrier cream.
· Skin cleansing cream.
· Eye wash unit.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as "harmful 
by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or human evidence. The material 
may still be damaging to the health of the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-
existing organ (eg. liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic 
substances are generally based on doses producing mortality rather than those producing morbidity 
(disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an 
occupational setting however, ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for 
concern.

EYE

Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives), direct 
contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterised by tearing or conjunctival 
redness (as with windburn).

SKIN

The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation following contact 
(as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires 
that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce 
systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure 
that any external damage is suitably protected.

INHALED

The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory 
tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice 
requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an 
occupational setting.
Headache, fatigue, tiredness, irritability and digestive disturbances (nausea, loss of appetite 
and bloating) are the most common symptoms of xylene overexposure. Injury to the heart, liver, 
kidneys and nervous system has also been noted amongst workers. Temporary memory loss, kidney 
impairment, temporary confusion and some evidence of disturbance of liver function was reported in 
workers grossly exposed to xylene (1%). One death was noted, with autopsy revealing lung 
congestion, oedema and local bleeding of alveoli. Inhaling xylene at 100 ppm for 5-6 hours can 
increase reaction time and cause slight inco-ordination. Tolerance developed during the work week, 
but was lost over the weekend. Physical exercise may reduce tolerance. About 4-8% of total 
absorbed xylene accumulates in fat.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

Women exposed to xylene in the first 3 months of pregnancy showed a slightly increased risk of 
miscarriage and birth defects. Evaluation of workers chronically exposed to xylene has 
demonstrated lack of genetic toxicity. Exposure to xylene has been associated with increased rates 
of blood cancer, but this may be complicated by exposure to other substances, including benzene. 
Animal testing found no evidence of cancer-causing activity.
Repeated application of mildly hydrotreated oils (principally paraffinic), to mouse skin, induced 
skin tumours; no tumours were induced with severely hydrotreated oils.

DISTILLATES, PETROLEUM, LIGHT, HYDROTREATED:
The lower molecular weight hydrocarbons are expected to form a "slick" on the surface of 
waters after release in calm sea conditions. This is expected to evaporate and enter the 
atmosphere where it will be degraded through reaction with hydroxy radicals.
Some of the material will become associated with benthic sediments, and it is likely to 
be spread over a fairly wide area of sea floor. Marine sediments may be either aerobic or 
anaerobic. The material, in probability, is biodegradable, under aerobic conditions 
(isomerised olefins and alkenes show variable results). Evidence also suggests that the 
hydrocarbons may be degradable under anaerobic conditions although such degradation in 
benthic sediments may be a relatively slow process.
Under aerobic conditions the material will degrade to water and carbon dioxide, while 
under anaerobic processes it will produce water, methane and carbon dioxide.
Based on test results, as well as theoretical considerations, the potential for 
bioaccumulation may be high. Toxic effects are often observed in species such as blue 
mussel, daphnia, freshwater green algae, marine copepods and amphipods.
Alkenes have low log octanol/water partition coefficients (Kow) of about 1 and estimated 
bioconcentration factors (BCF) of about 10; aromatics have intermediate values (log Kow 
values of 2-3 and BCF values of 20-200), while C5 and greater alkanes have fairly high 
values (log Kow values of about 3-4.5 and BCF values of 100-1,500
The estimated volatilisation half-lives for alkanes and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, 
xylene (BTEX) components were predicted as 7 days in ponds, 1.5 days in rivers, and 6 
days in lakes. The volatilisation rate of naphthalene and its substituted derivatives 
were estimated to be slower
Indigenous microbes found in many natural settings (e.g., soils, groundwater, ponds) have 
been shown to be capable of degrading organic compounds. Unlike other fate processes that 
disperse contaminants in the environment, biodegradation can eliminate the contaminants 
without transferring them across media.
The final products of microbial degradation are carbon dioxide, water, and microbial 
biomass. The rate of hydrocarbon degradation depends on the chemical composition of the 
product released to the environment as well as site-specific environmental factors. 
Generally the straight chain hydrocarbons and the aromatics are degraded more readily 
than the highly branched aliphatic compounds. The n-alkanes, n-alkyl aromatics, and the 
aromatics in the C10-C22 range are the most readily biodegradable; n-alkanes, n-alkyl 
aromatics, and aromatics in the C5-C9 range are biodegradable at low concentrations by 
some microorganisms, but are generally preferentially removed by volatilisation and thus 
are unavailable in most environments; n-alkanes in the C1-C4 ranges are biodegradable 
only by a narrow range of specialised hydrocarbon degraders; and n-alkanes, n-alkyl 
aromatics, and aromatics above C22 are generally not available to degrading 
microorganisms. Hydrocarbons with condensed ring structures, such as PAHs with four or 
more rings, have been shown to be relatively resistant to biodegradation. PAHs with only 
2 or 3 rings (e.g., naphthalene, anthracene) are more easily biodegraded. PAHs with only 
2 or 3 rings (e.g., naphthalene, anthracene) are more easily biodegraded. In almost all 
cases, the presence of oxygen is essential for effective biodegradation of oil. The ideal 
pH range to promote biodegradation is close to neutral (6-8). For most species, the 
optimal pH is slightly alkaline, that is, greater than 7.
All biological transformations are affected by temperature. Generally, as the temperature 
increases, biological activity tends to increase up to a temperature where enzyme 
denaturation occurs.
Atmospheric fate: Alkanes, isoalkanes, and cycloalkanes have half-lives on the order of 1-
10 days, whereas alkenes, cycloalkenes, and substituted benzenes have half-lives of 1 day 
or less.
Photochemical oxidation products include aldehydes, hydroxy compounds, nitro compounds, 
and peroxyacyl nitrates. Alkenes, certain substituted aromatics, and naphthalene are 
potentially susceptible to direct photolysis.
Drinking Water Standards: hydrocarbon total: 10 ug/l (UK max.).
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.

EXPOSURE STANDARD FOR MIXTURES

"Worst Case" computer-aided prediction of vapour components/concentrations:
Composite Exposure Standard for Mixture (TWA) (mg/m3): 2100 mg/m³
If the breathing zone concentration of ANY of the components listed below is exceeded, 
"Worst Case" considerations deem the individual to be overexposed.
Component  Breathing Zone ppm   Breathing Zone mg/m3  Mixture Conc: (%).

Component                                    Breathing zone  Breathing Zone  Mixture Conc
                                             (ppm)           (mg/m³)         (%)
distillates, petroleum, light, hydrotreated  300.00          2100.0000       5.0
 
Operations which produce a spray/mist or fume/dust, introduce particulates to the 
breathing zone.
If the breathing zone concentration of ANY of the components listed below is exceeded, 
"Worst Case" considerations deem the individual to be overexposed.
At the "Composite Exposure Standard for Mixture" (TWA) (mg/m3): 2100 mg/m³

 

Classification of the preparation and its individual components has drawn on official and
authoritative sources as well as independent review by the Chemwatch Classification
committee using available literature references.
A list of reference resources used to assist the committee may be found at:

The (M)SDS is a Hazard Communication tool and should be used to assist in the Risk
Assessment. Many factors determine whether the reported Hazards are Risks in the
workplace or other settings. Risks may be determined by reference to Exposures Scenarios.
Scale of use, frequency of use and current or available engineering controls must be
considered.
