SECTION 2: HAZARD(S) IDENTIFICATION
Identification:
ISOOCTANE
FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. Can accumulate static charge. Vapor is heavier than air and may spread long distances. Distant
ignition and flashback are possible. Liquid can float on water and may travel to distant locations and/or spread fire. Central nervous
system depressant. High vapor concentrations may cause headache, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, unconsciousness and
death. Aspiration hazard. Swallowing or vomiting of the liquid may result in aspiration into the lungs.
TOLUENE
FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. Liquid can accumulate static charge by flow or agitation. Vapor is heavier than air and may spread
long distances. Distant ignition and flashback are possible. Liquid can float on water and may travel to distant locations and/or spread fire.
Can decompose at high temperatures forming toxic gases. Closed containers may rupture and explode in heat of fire. Mild central nervous
system depressant. Vapor may cause headache, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, confusion and incoordination.
SKIN IRRITANT. Causes moderate skin irritation. Aspiration hazard. Swallowing or vomiting of the liquid may result in aspiration into the
lungs. POSSIBLE TERATOGEN/EMBRYOTOXIN - may harm the unborn child, based on animal information. Confined space hazard.
Can accumulate in confined spaces, producing a fire and toxicity hazard.
HEXANE
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. Can accumulate static charge. Vapor is heavier than air and may spread long
distances. Distant ignition and flash back are possible. Liquid can float on water and may travel to distant locations and spread fire. Can
decompose at high temperature forming carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other irritating and toxic vapors, fumes and smoke. Mild
central nervous system depressant. High vapor concentrations may cause headache, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, incoordination, and
unconsciousness. High vapor concentrations can displace oxygen in the air and life-threatening asphyxiation (suffocation) may result.
Confined space hazard. Can accumulate in confined spaces, producing a fire/toxicity hazard. SKIN IRRITANT. Causes moderate skin
irritation. VERY TOXIC. Long-term exposure may cause damage to the nervous system of the extremities (the hands, arms, legs and
feet). Aspiration hazard. Swallowing or vomiting of the liquid may result in aspiration (breathing) into the lungs.

SECTION 4: FIRST-AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If large amounts inhaled, remove victim to fresh air.
If breathing is difficult give oxygen. If breathing has stopped
administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Keep the affected
person warm and at rest. Contact physician.
Eye Contact: Contamination of the eyes should be treated
by immediate and prolonged irrigation with copious amounts
of lukewarm water by separating the eyelids with fingers. Contact
physician.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately wash skin
with soap and copious amounts of lukewarm water.
Ingestion: If swallowed, get medical attention immediately. Do
NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
ISOOCTANE
Flash Point (Method): -12°C (10.4°F) closed cup
Flammable Limits: LEL (1.1%) LEL (1.1%)
TOLUENE
Flash Point (Method): 4°C (39.2°F) (closed cup)
Flammable Limits: LEL (1.2%) LEL (1.2%)
HEXANE
Flash Point (Method): -23°C (-9.4°F closed cup)
Flammable Limits: LEL (1.1%) LEL (1.1%)
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical
powder, Halon, water spray or standard foam.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear full protective
clothing and self-contained positive pressure breathing
apparatus certified by NIOSH, when fighting chemically
related fires.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Flammable. Vapor may
travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back.
Container explosion may occur under fire conditions. Use water spray
to cool unopened containers.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Procedure for Spill Control: Shut off all sources of ignition. Restrict
access to area until completion of clean-up. Ventilate area. Notify
government occupational health and safety and environmental
authorities.
Personal Procedure: Wear appropriate respiratory and personal
protective equipment when engaged in clean-up outside of hood.
Clean-Up Procedure: Absorb with non-combustible absorbent.
Place leaking ampoules in a plastic bag containing absorbent
and dispose of as hazardous waste.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Adequate ventilation is required to protect personnel from
exposure to chemical vapors exceeding PEL and to minimize fire
hazards. Safety glasses are considered minimum protection.
The choice of protective gloves or clothing must be based on
chemical-resistance and other user requirements. Chemical-resistant
protective gloves and clothing are recommended. Remove and wash
contaminated clothing promptly.
Storage: Store in a cool dry place. Keep away from heat, sparks,
open flame, and oxidizing agents. Proper storage must be determined
based on other materials stored and their hazards and potential
chemical incompatibility. Store in an acceptable, protected and
secure, ‘Flammable Liquid Storage’ cabinet or room.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory: Use NIOSH approved respirator equipment.
Eyes: Chemical safety goggles or face shield may be
necessary depending on quantity of material and conditions
of use. Emergency eye wash fountains should be available
in the vicinity of any possible exposure.

Human Toxicity Information Animal Toxicity Values
Currently the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties of this material Isooctanes appear to cause pulmonary lesions if aspirated into lungs of rats.
have not been thoroughly investigated as to their affects on Humans. The pathological lung finding in rabbits injected in with Cyclohexane, n-
Hexane, or Isooctane test groups include hemorrhage, edema, & tissue with
polmorphonuclear leukocytic reactions, such as angitis, interstitial pneumonitis,
abscess formation, thrombosis & fibrosis. Isooctane was highly irritating to
mice after 1000 ppm for 5 minutes. Respiratory arrest occurred in the
expiratory phase during prolonged expiration.

SECTION 16: OTHER INFORMATION

DISCLAIMER: This Material Safety Data Sheet is offered without charge to the clients of Spectrum Quality Standards. Data is the most
current available to Spectrum at the time of preparation and is issued as a matter of information only, no warranty as to its accuracy or
completeness is expressed or implied.

Unless otherwise noted, the above information pertains only for the solvent and similar types of components in the sample.
Per GHS & OSHA requirements, please note that Spectrum Quality Standards does not manufacture pure components but rather blend
existing components to create ASTM approved standards.

When no toxicity data is provided, it is prudent to handle this chemical as hazardous. Furthermore, since individual chemical
hypersensitivity cannot be predicted, every chemical should be handled with due respect.
