HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS
Aliphatic Petroleum Distillates 64742-89-8 500 ppm NO
SECTION 3 CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid Boiling Point (oF): 285-335 oF
Odor: Characteristic petroleum Freezing Point (oF): ND
pH: NA Specific Gravity (H2O=1 @ 70oF): 0.759
Water solubility: Negligible Vapor Pressure, mm Hg, 20oC: ND
Vapor Density (air=1): 3.8 Volatile Organic (VOC) content: 100%
Evaporation Rate (Butyl Acetate = 1) ND
SECTION 4 FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Flash Point (Method): >104 oF Explosive Limits: Lower 1.0% Upper 6.0%
Flammable Limits: ND Auto Ignition Temperature: ND
Extinguishing Media: Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical
Special Fire Fighting Procedures and Hazards: Self contained breathing apparatus is recommended. Water is not a suitable extinguishing media but good for keeping containers cool.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: Vapors are heavier than air and can travel along the ground and gather in low areas which can be ignited by ignition sources such as pilot lights. Overheated containers can burst due to pressure buildup.
SECTION 5 REACTIVITY INFORMATION
Stable: X Unstable: Hazardous Polymerization: Occurs: Does not Occur: X
Conditions to Avoid: None known. Keep away from heat or ignition sources.
Materials to Avoid: Strong oxidizing agents.
Decomposition Products: Forms smoke, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide at high heat.
