Chemical extinguished. Damaged cylinders should be handled only by specialists.

Protective Equipment and As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or
Precautions for Firefighters equivalent) and full protective gear.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Use personal protective equipment.
Monitor oxygen level.

Environmental Precautions Prevent spreading of vapors through sewers, ventilation systems and confined areas.

Methods for Containment Stop the flow of gas or remove cylinder to outdoor location if this can be done without risk. If leak is in
container or container valve, contact the appropriate emergency telephone number in Section 1 or call
your closest Linde location.

Methods for Cleaning Up Return cylinder to Linde or an authorized distributor.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling Use only in ventilated areas. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its valve protection cap. Protect
cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. When moving cylinders, even for short
distance, use a cart designed to transport cylinders. Use equipment rated for cylinder pressure. Use
backflow preventive device in piping. Never insert an object (e.g. wrench, screwdriver, pry bar,etc.)
into valve cap openings. Doing so may damage valve, causing leak to occur.

Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Close valve after each use and
when empty. If user experiences any difficulty operating cylinder valve discontinue use and contact
supplier.

Never put cylinders into trunks of cars or unventilated areas of passenger vehicles. Never attempt to
refill a compressed gas cylinder without the owner's written consent. Never strike an arc on a
compressed gas cylinder or make a cylinder a part of an electrical circuit.

For additional recommendations consult Compressed Gas Association's (CGA) Safety Bulletin SB-2,
Oxygen-Deficient Atmospheres.

For additional handling recommendations, consult Compressed Gas Association's pamphlets P-1, G-
10.1, P-8.1, P-8.2, P-9, P-16, P-18, and Safety Bulletin SB-2.

Physical & Chemical Properties Characteristics


Appearance and Odour: Yellowish-Green Extrudates, Odourless
Solubility in water: < 5%
Bulk density (for solids): 0.74 g/cc

10. STABILITY/REACTIVITY
Stability:
Stable. Hygroscopic.

Materials to avoid:
Strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidizing agents. May form nickel carbonyl, a very toxic and potentially
lethal gas, on contact with carbon monoxide.

Hazardous decomposition products:


In use the catalyst is reduced and sulfided. The reduced form, especially when warm, reacts with oxygen on
contact with air. Enough heat can be produced to burn coke or residual organic material left on the catalyst,
and could ignite flammable mixtures that it may contact. To protect against this possibility, spent catalyst
should be oxidized and cooled before removing it from the reactor. Other measures, such as cooling and
blanketing with nitrogen or water wetting the catalyst may also be used to retard oxidation.

Potential Health Effects


----------------------------------

Inhalation:
A slight irritant to the mucous membranes. Toxic effects exerted upon nervous system, particularly the
optic nerve. Once absorbed into the body, it is very slowly eliminated. Symptoms of overexposure may
include headache, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, blindness, coma, and death. A person may
get better but then worse again up to 30 hours later.
Ingestion:
Toxic. Symptoms parallel inhalation. Can intoxicate and cause blindness. Usual fatal dose: 100-125
milliliters.
Skin Contact:
Methyl alcohol is a defatting agent and may cause skin to become dry and cracked. Skin absorption can
occur; symptoms may parallel inhalation exposure.
Eye Contact:
Irritant. Continued exposure may cause eye lesions.
Chronic Exposure:
Marked impairment of vision has been reported. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause skin
irritation.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems or impaired liver or kidney function may be
more susceptible to the effects of the substance.

4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
medical attention immediately.
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids
occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
5. Fire Fighting Measures

Fire:
Flash point: 12C (54F) CC
Autoignition temperature: 464C (867F)
Flammable limits in air % by volume:
lel: 6.0; uel: 36
Flammable Liquid and Vapor!
Explosion:
Above flash point, vapor-air mixtures are explosive within flammable limits noted above. Moderate
explosion hazard and dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, sparks or flames. Sensitive to static
discharge.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use alcohol foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. (Water may be ineffective.)
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing
apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. Use
water spray to blanket fire, cool fire exposed containers, and to flush non-ignited spills or vapors away
from fire. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source and flash back.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel
from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Collect
liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and
place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to
sewer! If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors, to protect personnel
attempting to stop leak, and to flush spills away from exposures. US Regulations (CERCLA) require
reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable quantities. The toll free number
for the US Coast Guard National Response Center is (800) 424-8802.

7. Handling and Storage

Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated location, away from any area where
the fire hazard may be acute. Outside or detached storage is preferred. Separate from incompatibles.
Containers should be bonded and grounded for transfers to avoid static sparks. Storage and use areas
should be No Smoking areas. Use non-sparking type tools and equipment, including explosion proof
ventilation. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues
(vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product. Do Not attempt to clean
empty containers since residue is difficult to remove. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill,
grind or expose such containers to heat, sparks, flame, static electricity or other sources of ignition: they
may explode and cause injury or death.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits:


For Methyl Alcohol:
- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
200 ppm (TWA)
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
200 ppm (TWA), 250 ppm (STEL) skin
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the
Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the
emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please
refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent
edition, for details. Use explosion-proof equipment.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, wear a supplied air, full-
facepiece respirator, airlined hood, or full-facepiece self-contained breathing apparatus. Breathing air
quality must meet the requirements of the OSHA respiratory protection standard (29CFR1910.134). This
substance has poor warning properties.
Skin Protection:
Rubber or neoprene gloves and additional protection including impervious boots, apron, or coveralls, as
needed in areas of unusual exposure.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

General advice
Pay attention to self-protection.
Remove victims from hazardous area. Immediately remove soiled or soaked clothing and remove it to a
safe distance. Keep victim warm, in a stabilized position and covered.
Do not leave victims unattended.
If the casualty is unconscious: Place the victim in the recovery position.
Inhalation
Inhalation is possible if aerosols, mists, dusts, or smoke form.
Move victims into fresh air.
With labored breathing: Provide with oxygen. Consult a doctor.
If the casualty is not breathing: Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, notify emergency physician
immediately.
Skin contact
Wash off affected area immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
With liposoluble substances, products, or preparations, continue decontamination with polyethylene
glycol 400 after initial rinsing with water and then wash with water and soap.
If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.
Eye contact
With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.
Consult an ophthalmologist immediately if the symptoms persist.
When dealing with caustic substances, notify emergency physician immediately (key words: burns in
eye).

Ingestion
Rinse out mouth.
Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.
Consult a physician immediately.
When dealing with caustic substances, notify emergency physician immediately.
Notes to physician
In case of substances with high water solubility, inhalation of vapors, aerosols, mists, and smoke from
caustic substances, products, and preparations, as well as caustic gases, results in irritations up to
formation of necrosis in the upper respiratory tract.
The initial focus is on the local action: signs of irritation of the respiratory tract such as coughing,
burning behind the sternum, tears, burning in the eyes or nose.
There is a fundamental risk of acute toxic pulmonary edema!
In case of substances with low water solubility, only slight local irritations may appear at first, but after
several hours of latency without symptoms, may develop into increasingly labored breathing and
cyanosis as a result of a delayed pulmonary edema.
There is a danger of underestimating the severity of the intoxication!

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable extinguishing media


water, mist, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry powder
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons

In the case of fire, the following hazardous smoke fumes may be produced:
Carbon oxides
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
Wear suitable protective clothing.
wear a self contained respiratory apparatus
Further information
Water used to extinguish fire should not enter drainage systems, soil, or stretches of water Ensure there
are sufficient retaining facilities for water used to extinguish fire. Contaminated fire-extinguishing water
must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations issued by the appropriate local authorities.
Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions

and later rescinded. SHELL IS is the Shell Internal Standard.

Exposure Controls : The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary
depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls
based on a risk assessment of local circumstances.
Appropriate measures include: Use sealed systems as far as
possible. Adequate explosion-proof ventilation to control
airborne concentrations below the exposure guidelines/limits.
Local exhaust ventilation is recommended. Firewater monitors
and deluge systems are recommended. Eye washes and
showers for emergency use.
Personal Protective : Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet
Equipment recommended national standards. Check with PPE suppliers.
Respiratory Protection : If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations
to a level which is adequate to protect worker health, select
respiratory protection equipment suitable for the specific
conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation. Check with
respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where air-filtering
respirators are unsuitable (e.g., airborne concentrations are
high, risk of oxygen deficiency, confined space) use
appropriate positive pressure breathing apparatus. Where air-
filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate
combination of mask and filter. Select a filter suitable for
organic gases and vapours [boiling point >65 °C (149 °F)].
Where respiratory protective equipment is required, use a full-
face mask. Respirator selection, use and maintenance should
be in accordance with the requirements of the OSHA
Respiratory Protection Standard, 29 CFR 1920.134.
Hand Protection : Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of
gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374,
US: F739, AS/NZS:2161) made from the following materials
may provide suitable chemical protection: Longer term
protection: Viton. Incidental contact/Splash protection: Nitrile
rubber. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on
usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical
resistance of glove material, glove thickness, dexterity. Always
seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should
be replaced.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care.
Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves,
hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a
non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended.
Eye Protection : Chemical splash goggles (chemical monogoggles).
Protective Clothing : Chemical resistant gloves/gauntlets, boots, and apron. Where
risk of splashing or in spillage clean up, use chemical resistant
one-piece overall with integral hood.

2. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Benzene is a colorless, flammable, toxic liquid, with a characteristic aromatic odor.
Benzene is a known human carcinogen and a possible human mutagen. Inhalation of vapors of Benzene can
cause serious, permanent damage to the blood system. Skin and eye contact can be irritating. This liquid is very
flammable; vapors are heavier than air and may travel long distances to source of ignition and flashback. If
involved in a fire Benzene will decompose to produce toxic gases (i.e. carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, irritating
aldehydes and ketones). Persons responding to fires or emergencies involving Benzene must have adequate fire
protection and wear personal protective equipment to protect against the significant health hazards posed by
Benzene.

SYMPTOMS OF OVER-EXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: Benzene is a serious poison by all routes of


exposure. The symptoms of each route of exposure are described below.
INHALATION: The immediate symptoms of inhalation of vapors of Benzene are due to the initial excitation, followed
by depression of the central nervous system. Central nervous system symptoms include drowsiness, headache,
nausea, incoordination and unconsciousness, that can lead to death in severe cases. Other symptoms of acute
over-exposure to vapors of Benzene can include transient euphoria, ataxia (incoordination of voluntary muscular
movements), vertigo, tinnitus, substernal pain, cough, hoarseness and general irritation of the nose, throat and
respiratory tract, confusion, stupefaction and coma. In cases of severe over-exposure (as may occur in a confined
space, or other poorly ventilated areas, or if large volumes are used or released), tremors, convulsions and death,
due to respiratory paralysis or circulatory collapse can occur within minutes to several hours following exposure.
Reversible liver and kidney effects have been reported after exposure to Benzene. The effects associated with
various levels of Benzene vapors are as follows:
CONCENTRATION SYMPTOM OF EXPOSURE
Brief (10 minute) up to 25 ppm: No symptoms.
50-150 ppm: Exhilaration, headache, tiredness, nose and throat irritation.
20,000 (for 5-10 min): Collapse and death
One of the most significant health effects associated with Benzene is the potential for blood system disorders which
develop after long-term exposures to relatively low vapor concentrations. There are reports that exposure to low
levels (10 ppm) over an extended time period (24 weeks) of Benzene vapors can damage the bone marrow and
blood systems. This damage can result in the development of serious health disorders (including anemia and
leukemia). Adverse effects on the immune system have also been reported. Refer to “Other Health Effects” in this
section for further information.
CONTACT WITH SKIN or EYES: Contact with the skin can cause irritation and redness. Repeated or prolonged
contact can also cause dermatitis, resulting in dry, itchy, cracked skin as Benzene is a defatting agent, removing oils
from the skin. Contact with the vapors of Benzene and the eyes will be irritating. Direct contact of the liquid with the
eyes can cause irritation, pain; prolonged contact may result in tissue damage.
SKIN ABSORPTION: Benzene poisoning through skin contact has been reported, although skin absorption is not
considered as significant a route of exposure as via inhalation or ingestion. Symptoms of absorption may be similar
as those described in “Ingestion”.
INGESTION: Ingestion of Benzene will cause a burning sensation in the mouth and stomach, nausea, vomiting,
excess salivation and vomiting of blood. Benzene is readily absorbed into the body following ingestion exposures,
producing symptoms of central nervous system depression and other symptoms similar to those described in
“Inhalation”. If ingested, Benzene presents a potential aspiration hazard. Aspiration of even small amounts of
Benzene into the lungs can result in immediate pulmonary edema (a potentially fatal accumulation of fluid in the
lungs), chemical pneumonitis and hemorrhage of pulmonary tissue.

2. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION (Continued)
INJECTION: Injection is not anticipated to be a significant route of over-exposure for this product. If Benzene is
“injected” (as may occur through punctures by contaminated, sharp objects), symptoms described in “Inhalation” can
occur.
OTHER HEALTH EFFECTS: The chief target organ affected by serious Benzene exposure is the blood and bone
marrow system. Chronic Benzene exposure eventually leads to pancytopenia (abnormal decrease of all three
formed elements of the blood; hemoglobin, disease-fighting leukocytes and blood-clotting thrombocytes), followed by
thrombocytopenia (problems with the blood-clotting properties of the blood) and anemia. These syndromes can lead
to sudden, overwhelming infections. After exposure to Benzene, bleeding from the nose, gums, or mucous
membranes and development of small bruises can occur. Benzene is a known human carcinogen and can produce
forms of leukemia. Direct contact with the liquid with mucous membranes will result in the development of
hemorrhagic lesions.
HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE: An Explanation in Lay Terms. Over-exposure to may cause
the health effects described on the following page.
ACUTE: Acute inhalation over-exposure to Benzene will initially act as a narcotic, possibly leading to coma in
extreme cases. Following exposure to high concentrations, victims may be unconscious, and if exposure continues,
death can follow from respiratory failure and circulatory collapse. Contact with the skin can cause irritation and
dermatitis. Contact with the eyes is irritating, causing burning and watering of the eyes. Ingestion of Benzene will
cause gastric distress, hemorrhage and possible severe depression of the central nervous system. Aspiration of
Benzene into the lungs, following ingestion, can result in severe damage to the lungs; death may result.
CHRONIC: Chronic exposure to Benzene causes serious damage to the health by all routes of exposure. Chronic
oral and inhalation exposure causes severe effects on the blood system, including damage to the bone marrow,
leading to a decrease in production or changes to the cells of hemoglobin, hematocrit, red and white blood cells.
Effects can occur with an exposure level as low as 10 ppm for 24 weeks. Benzene also causes harmful changes to
the immune system, decreasing the production of mature B- and T- white blood cells. Benzene is a confirmed human
carcinogen, which can produce Hodgkin’s Disease, leukemia and lymphomas by inhalation. Human mutation data
are reported for Benzene. See Section 11 (Toxicological Information) for further information. Symptoms of chronic
exposure by most routes can be delayed for months to years after exposure has ceased.
TARGET ORGANS: Respiratory system, central nervous system, blood and immune systems, bone marrow, heart,
liver, kidneys, skin, eyes and reproductive system.

4 FIRST-AID MEASURES
RESCUERS SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE VICTIMS OF EXPOSURE TO BENZENE
WITHOUT ADEQUATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. If necessary, a Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus should be worn.
INHALATION: If vapors, mists, or sprays of Benzene are inhaled, remove victim to fresh air. Remove victim(s) to
fresh air as quickly as possible. Only trained personnel should administer supplemental oxygen and/or cardio-
pulmonary resuscitation if necessary. Remove or cover gross contamination to avoid exposure to rescuers.
SKIN EXPOSURE: If Benzene contaminates the skin, immediately begin decontamination with running water.
Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Remove exposed or contaminated clothing, taking care not to contaminate
eyes. Victim must seek medical attention if any adverse reaction occurs.
EYE EXPOSURE: If Benzene or its vapors enter the eyes, open victim's eyes while under gentle running water. Use
sufficient force to open eyelids. Have victim "roll" eyes. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Victim must seek
immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: If Benzene is swallowed, CALL PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER FOR MOST
CURRENT INFORMATION. If professional advice is not available, do not induce vomiting. Victim should drink milk,
egg whites, or large quantities of water. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward to reduce risk of
aspiration. Never induce vomiting or give diluents (milk or water) to someone who is unconscious, having
convulsions, or who cannot swallow.
Victims of chemical exposure must be taken for medical attention. Rescuers should be taken for medical attention, if
necessary. Physicians should refer to “Recommendations to Physicians” in Section 11 (Toxicological Information).
Take copy of label and MSDS to health professional with victim.

FLASH POINT, (Closed Cup): -11°C (12°F)
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: 498°C (928°F)
FLAMMABLE LIMITS (in air by volume, %):
Lower (LEL): 1.3%
Upper (UEL): 7.1%
FIRE EXTINGUISHING MATERIALS:
Water Spray: YES (for cooling only) Carbon Dioxide: YES
Foam: YES Dry Chemical: YES
Halon: YES Other: Any "B" Class.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Benzene is a Class IB flammable liquid and presents a serious fire
hazard to firefighters. Due to the low flash point, vapors can form explosive mixtures with air, at room temperature.
When involved in a fire, this material may decompose and produce toxic gases (i.e., carbon monoxide, carbon
dioxide, irritating aldehydes and ketones). The vapors of Benzene are heavier than air and may spread long
distances; distant ignition and flash-back are possible. Benzene can float on water; therefore, water contaminated
with this product can spread the flammable liquid and can spread fire. Containers of Benzene, when involved in fire,
may rupture or burst in the heat of the fire.
Explosion Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not sensitive.
Explosion Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Benzene can accumulate static charge by flow or agitation; vapors can be
ignited by static discharge.
SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: In the event of fire, cool containers of this product with water to prevent
failure. Use a water spray or fog to reduce or direct vapors. Water may not be effective in actually extinguishing a
fire involving Benzene, due to its low flash point. Stop the leak or discharge, if possible. For small releases, if it is
not possible to stop the leak, and it does not endanger personnel, let the fire burn itself out. Incipient fire responders
should wear eye protection. Structural fire fighters must wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus and full protective
equipment, including chemically resistant clothing. Large fires should be fought from a distance with an unmanned
hose holder or monitor nozzles. If this product is involved in a fire, fire run-off water should be contained to prevent
possible environmental damage. If necessary, decontaminate fire-response equipment with soap and water
solution.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
LEAK RESPONSE: Evacuate immediate area. Uncontrolled releases should be responded to by trained personnel
using pre-planned procedures. Proper protective equipment should be used. In case of a leak, clear the affected
area, protect people, and respond with trained personnel.
Minimum Personal Protective Equipment should be Level B: triple-gloves (rubber gloves and nitrile gloves, over
latex gloves), chemically resistant suit and boots, hard-hat, and Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus.
Monitor the surrounding area for combustible vapor levels. Combustible vapor levels must be below 10% of the LEL
for Benzene (LEL = 1.3%) before personnel are permitted to enter the area. If necessary, ventilate area.
Monitoring should be done for the levels of Benzene and oxygen. Colorimetric tubes are available to detect the
presence of Benzene. Levels of Benzene should be below levels listed in Section 2 (Composition and Information
on Ingredients) and the atmosphere must have at least 19.5 percent oxygen before personnel can be allowed in the
area without Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus.
Eliminate all sources of ignition before clean-up operations begin. Use non-sparking tools. Absorb spilled liquid with
activated carbon, polypads or other suitable absorbent materials. Prevent material from entering sewer or confined
spaces. Decontaminate the area thoroughly. Place all spill residue in an appropriate container and seal. If
necessary, decontaminate spill-response equipment with soap and water solution. Dispose of in accordance with
Federal, State, and local hazardous waste disposal regulations (see Section 13, Disposal Considerations).
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE, TOXIC LIQUID: Protection of all personnel and the area must be
maintained. All responders must be adequately protected from exposure.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE (Continued)
Storage areas must meet national electrical codes for Class 1 Hazardous Areas. Post “No Smoking or Open
Flames” signs in storage or use areas. Consider installation of leak detection and alarm for storage and use areas.
Have appropriate extinguishing equipment in the storage area (i.e. sprinkler system, portable fire extinguishers).
Use only compatible materials for cylinders, process lines, and other Benzene-handling equipment. Lines should be
purged with dry nitrogen both before and after maintenance activity. Use a check valve or other protective device in
the discharge line to prevent hazardous backflow.
Never tamper with pressure relief valves and cylinders. Use non-sparking ventilation systems, approved explosion-
proof equipment, and appropriate electrical systems. Electrical equipment used in gas-handling operations, or
located in storage areas, should be non-sparking or explosion proof.
Use a check valve in the discharge line to prevent hazardous backflow. Never tamper with pressure relief devices in
valves and cylinders.
Periodic inspections of process equipment by knowledgeable persons should be made to ensure that the equipment
is used appropriately and the system is kept in suitable operating condition.
Keep the smallest amount necessary on-site at any one time. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use
a first-in, first-out inventory systems to prevent full containers from being stored for long periods of time.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING CYLINDERS: Cylinders of Benzene can present significant safety
hazards. The following rules are applicable to work situations in which cylinders are being used.
Before Use: Move cylinders with a suitable hand-truck. Do not drag, slide or roll cylinders. Do not drop cylinders or
permit them to strike each other. Secure cylinders firmly. Leave the valve protection cap (where provided) in-place
until cylinder is ready for use.
During Use: Use designated CGA fittings and other support equipment. Do not use adapters. Do not heat cylinder
by any means to increase the discharge rate of the product from the cylinder. Do not use oils or grease on cylinder-
handling fittings or equipment. Immediately contact the supplier if there are any difficulties associated with operating
cylinder valve. Never insert an object (e.g wrench, screwdriver, pry bar, etc.) into valve cap openings. Doing so may
damage valve, causing a leak to occur. Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Never
strike an arc, on a compressed gas cylinder or make a cylinder part of and electric circuit.
After Use: Close main cylinder valve. Valves should be closed tightly. Replace valve protection cap. Mark empty
cylinders “EMPTY”.
NOTE: Use only DOT or ASME code containers designed for flammable storage. Close valve after each use and
when empty.
STANDARD VALVE CONNECTIONS FOR U.S. AND CANADA: Use the proper CGA connections, DO NOT
USE ADAPTERS:
THREADED: CGA - 510
PIN-INDEXED YOKE: Not applicable.
ULTRA HIGH INTEGRITY: Not applicable.
PROTECTIVE PRACTICES DURING MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT: Follow practices
indicated in Section 6 (Accidental Release Measures). Make certain application equipment is locked and tagged-out
safely. Purge gas handling equipment with inert gas (i.e. nitrogen) before attempting repairs. Always use product in
areas where adequate ventilation is provided.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS - PERSONAL PROTECTION


VENTILATION AND ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use with adequate ventilation. Use a mechanical fan or vent
area to outside. Where appropriate, use a non-sparking, grounded ventilation system separate from other exhaust
ventilation systems. Ensure eyewash/safety shower stations are available near areas where this product is used.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Maintain exposure levels of Benzene below the levels listed in Section 2
(Composition and Information on Ingredients) and oxygen levels above 19.5% in the workplace. Use supplied air
respiratory protection if Benzene levels exceed exposure limits and if oxygen level is below 19.5% or during
emergency response to a release of this product. If respiratory protection is required, follow the requirements of the
Federal OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134), or equivalent State standards. The following

Additional Information on Benzene: Because of the chronic toxicity effects associated with Benzene, a component of this product, additional
information is provided, as follows:
EFFECTS ON THE BLOOD AND BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS: Extensive studies have conclusively proven that oral and inhalation exposure to
benzene causes severe effects on the blood system, including damaging the bone marrow where new blood cells are formed. Most studies
report a decrease in hemoglobin, hematocrit, red and white blood cells, platelets and/or changes in the cells. Effects of varying severity have
been demonstrated with both intermittent and continuous exposures to concentrations as low as 10 ppm for 24 weeks.
EFFECTS ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM: Studies have also conclusively shown that benzene causes harmful changes to the immune system which
protects the body from disease. Benzene has decreased the number of mature B- and T-lymphocytes (white blood cells which produce
disease-fighting antibodies). Exposure of mice to 300 ppm for 6 to 23 weeks resulted in a decrease in the number of mature B- and T-
lymphocytes. Rats and mice exposed orally to 25 to 200 mg/kg/day for 2 years had significantly reduced white blood cells and lymphocytes.
SUSPECTED CANCER AGENT: Benzene is listed as follows:
BENZENE: ACGIH-A2 (Suspected Human Carcinogen); EPA-A (Human Carcinogen); IARC-1 (Carcinogenic to Humans); MAK-A1 (Capable of
Inducing Malignant Tumors/Experience with Humans); NIOSH-X (Carcinogen); NTP-1 (Known to be a Carcinogen); OSHA-X (Carcinogen);
Cal-OSHA (Carcinogen).
IRRITANCY OF PRODUCT: Benzene is irritating to the skin, eyes, and other contaminated tissue.
SENSITIZATION OF PRODUCT: Benzene is not known to cause respiratory system or skin sensitization in
humans. Cardiac sensitization to stimulants (i.e. epinephrine, ephedrine) is a possible result of severe or chronic
over-exposure.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY INFORMATION: Listed below is information concerning the effects of Benzene on the
human reproductive system.
Mutagenicity: Human mutation data are available for Benzene. These data were obtained from individuals who were
exposed at levels which produced changes in the blood system.
Embryotoxicity: Benzene is not reported to cause embryotoxic effects in humans.
Teratogenicity: Benzene is not reported to cause embryotoxic effects in humans. Teratogenic data are available
from clinical studies involving test animals exposed to relatively high doses of Benzene. Fetotoxic effects (i.e.,
reduced birth weight and/or minor skeletal variations) were observed at exposures above 50 ppm.
Reproductive Toxicity: Data on reproductive effects on ovaries and testes are available from clinical studies
involving test animals exposed to relatively high doses of Benzene. These data were obtained at doses which
caused toxic effects on other organs.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (Continued)
A mutagen is a chemical which causes permanent changes to genetic material (DNA) such that the changes will propagate
through generation lines. An embryotoxin is a chemical which causes damage to a developing embryo (i.e. within the first eight
weeks of pregnancy in humans), but the damage does not propagate across generational lines. A teratogen is a chemical which
causes damage to a developing fetus, but the damage does not propagate across generational lines. A reproductive toxin is any
substance which interferes in any way with the reproductive process.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Pre-existing blood system disorders, respiratory
conditions, central nervous, liver, kidney, and cardio-vascular conditions may be aggravated by severe or chronic
over-exposure to this product. Skin disorders may also be aggravated by exposures to Benzene.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO PHYSICIANS: The following guidelines are derived from “Clinical Toxicology of
Commercial Chemical Products” (5th edition, 1984)
• Check for signs of impending pulmonary edema.
• Because of the aspiration hazard, avoid emetic drugs, whenever practical.
• For over-exposures in which emesis is advisable: If the patient is not drowsy, comatose, or in respiratory
difficulty, induce vomiting. If necessary, as an alternative treatment, remove Benzene from the stomach via
gastric lavage. One or two ounces of mineral oil may be instilled and left in the stomach at the completion of
lavage.
• Avoid epinephrine because of its possible adverse effect on the sensitized myocardium. Avoid all digestible fats,
oils and alcohol,, which may promote the absorption of Benzene in the intestinal system.
• If eyes or skin are affected, wash thoroughly and apply a bland analgetic ointment.
• Because of the possibility of ventricular fibrillation, monitor the EKG continuously and be prepared to administer
external cardiac massage.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO PHYSICIANS (Continued): Refer to the OSHA Benzene Standard [29 CFR 1910.1028;
paragraph(i) and Appendix C] for specific information on Medical Surveillance requirements (i.e. for the general
physical exam, medical history, specific tests, and re-examination protocol).
BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDICES (BEIs): The following Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs) are currently
applicable for Benzene.
BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDICES (BEIs) for Benzene are as follows:
CHEMICAL DETERMINANT SAMPLING TIME BEI

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION


ENVIRONMENTAL STABILITY: Benzene will be degraded over time into other organic compounds. The following
environmental data are available for Benzene.
Benzene: KOW = 2.13. Water Solubility = 1791 mg/L. BCF (Anguilla japonica, eels) = 3.5. BCF (Clupea harengus Pallasi, pacific herring) = 4.4.
BCF (goldfish) = 4.3. BCF, benzene = 24 (estimated). If benzene is released into the soil, it will be volatilized near the surface or it will leach
to the groundwater. No degradation of benzene (BOD) was reported in coarse-filtered Lake Superior harbor water incubated at 21°C for 12
days. In the marine eco-system, biodegradation occurs from 2 days to 2 weeks in the summer and spring, respectively. The half-life of
14
Benzene in estuarine water was 6 days, as measured by CO2 produced. Biodegradation half-lives of 28 and 16 days were reported in die-
away tests for degradation of up to 3.2 UL/L benzene using groundwater and Lester River water, respectively, under aerobic conditions. In a
base-rich para-brownish soil, 20 ppm benzene was 24% degraded in one week, 44% in 5 weeks and 47% in 10 weeks. It is not expected to
adsorb to sediment nor bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms.

EFFECT OF MATERIAL ON PLANTS or ANIMALS: Benzene may be harmful or fatal to contaminated plant and
animal-life (especially if large quantities of this product are released). Refer to Section 11 (Toxicology Information).

Not considered to be a fire hazard. Hot or molten material can react violently with water.
Can react with certain metals, such as aluminum, to generate flammable hydrogen gas.
Explosion:
May cause fire and explosions when in contact with incompatible materials.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Adding water to caustic solution
generates large amounts of heat.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing
apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away from area of spill.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Contain and recover
liquid when possible. Do not flush caustic residues to the sewer. Residues from spills can be diluted
with water, neutralized with dilute acid such as acetic, hydrochloric or sulfuric. Absorb neutralized
caustic residue on clay, vermiculite or other inert substance and package in a suitable container for
disposal.
US Regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of
reportable quantities. The toll free number for the US Coast Guard National Response Center is
(800) 424-8802.

7. Handling and Storage

Keep in a tightly closed container. Protect from physical damage. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated
area away from sources of heat, moisture and incompatibilities. Store above 16C (60F) to prevent
freezing. Always add the caustic to water while stirring; never the reverse. Containers of this
material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe
all warnings and precautions listed for the product. Do not store with aluminum or magnesium. Do
not mix with acids or organic materials.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits:


- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
2 mg/m3 Ceiling
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
2 mg/m3 Ceiling
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the
Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control
the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work
area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended
Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half facepiece
particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times the
exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or
respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100
filters) may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified
by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. If oil particles
(e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For
emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-
pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in
oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as
appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye
wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation: Inhalation produces damaging effects on the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.
Symptoms may include irritation of the nose and throat, and labored breathing. May cause lung edema, a
medical emergency.
Ingestion: Corrosive. Swallowing can cause severe burns of the mouth, throat, and stomach, leading to
death. Can cause sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea. Circulatory collapse with clammy skin, weak and rapid
pulse, shallow respirations, and scanty urine may follow ingestion or skin contact. Circulatory shock is
often the immediate cause of death.
Skin Contact: Corrosive. Symptoms of redness, pain, and severe burn can occur. Circulatory collapse with
clammy skin, weak and rapid pulse, shallow respirations, and scanty urine may follow skin contact or
ingestion. Circulatory shock is often the immediate cause of death.
Eye Contact:
Corrosive. Contact can cause blurred vision, redness, pain and severe tissue burns. Can cause blindness.
Chronic Exposure:
Long-term exposure to mist or vapors may cause damage to teeth. Chronic exposure to mists containing
sulfuric acid is a cancer hazard.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems or impaired respiratory function may be more
susceptible to the effects of the substance.

4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call
a physician immediately.
Ingestion:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Call a physician immediately.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Excess acid on skin can be neutralized with
a 2% solution of bicarbonate of soda. Call a physician immediately.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with gentle but large stream of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and
upper eyelids occasionally. Call a physician immediately.
5. Fire Fighting Measures

Fire:
Concentrated material is a strong dehydrating agent. Reacts with organic materials and may cause
ignition of finely divided materials on contact.
Explosion:
Contact with most metals causes formation of flammable and explosive hydrogen gas.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Do not use water on material. However, water spray may be used
to keep fire exposed containers cool.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing
apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Structural firefighter's protective clothing is ineffective for fires involving this material. Stay away from
sealed containers.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover
liquid when possible. Neutralize with alkaline material (soda ash, lime), then absorb with an inert material
(e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible
materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! US Regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spills and
releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable quantities. The toll free number for the US Coast
Guard National Response Center is (800) 424-8802.

7. Handling and Storage

Store in a cool, dry, ventilated storage area with acid resistant floors and good drainage. Protect from
physical damage. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat, water, and incompatible materials. Do
not wash out container and use it for other purposes. When diluting, always add the acid to water; never
add water to the acid. When opening metal containers, use non-sparking tools because of the possibility
of hydrogen gas being present. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they
retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits:


For Sulfuric Acid:
- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) -
1 mg/m3 (TWA)
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV) -
0.2 mg/m3(T) (TWA) for sulfuric acid - A2 Suspected Human Carcinogen for sulfuric acid contained in
strong inorganic mists.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the
Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the
emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please
refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent
edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a full facepiece respirator
with an acid gas cartridge and particulate filter (NIOSH type N100 filter) may be worn up to 50 times the
exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or
respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are
present, use a NIOSH type R or P particulate filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure
levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air
purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. Where respirators are
required, you must have a written program covering the basic requirements in the OSHA respirator
standard. These include training, fit testing, medical approval, cleaning, maintenance, cartridge change
schedules, etc. See 29CFR1910.134 for details.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate,
to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash
fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
