Material Safety Data Sheet MSDS Number: M4039 Product Name: Unleaded Racing Fuel MSDS Date: January 1, 1999 Emergency Response Number: Chemtrec: 1-800-424-9300 1-703-527-3887 Product Identification
Health = 2, Flammability = 3, Reactivity = 0
Manufacturer's Name and Address:
Chemical Name: Petroleum Distillate Hazardous Ingredients
Benzene concentration maintained to [3.25% (0.2 to 3.25%)] Physical Data
Fire and Explosion Data
Flash Point: Less than 28 degree Fahrenheit Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam or water spray. Water may be ineffective in fighting fires of liquids with low flash points, but water should be used to keep fire-exposed container cool. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors and to protect persons attempting to stop a leak. Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Pressure-demands, self-contained breathing apparatus should be provided for the fire fighters in buildings or confined area where product is stored. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazard: Clothing, rags or similar organic material contaminated with the product and stored in a closed space may under go spontaneous combustion. Transfer product to and from commonly grounded containers. Product spreads easily and can flash back along vapor trails. Health Hazard Information
Health Hazard Data: Routes of Exposure Inhalation: Irritation of the upper respiratory tract with central nervous system stimulation possibly followed by depression, dizziness, headache, incoordination, anesthesia, coma and respiratory arrest. Skin Contact: Defatting may occur with continued or prolonged contact. Irritation and burning sensation may occur on exposure to liquid or vapor phase. Skin Absorption: Not significant for major components; alkyl lead compounds are absorbed through the intact skin. Eye Contact: Severe burning sensation with temporary irritation and swelling of lids. Ingestion: Irritation of mucous membranes of throat, esophagus and stomach which may result in nausea and vomiting; depression may occur if absorbed. (See Inhalation above.) Effects of Overexposure Acute: Central nervous system depression with extreme overexposure; effects may include anesthesia, coma, respiratory arrest, and irregular heart rate. Oxygen deprivation is possible if working in confined spaces. Chronic: Experience has shown no major cumulative or latent effects to have resulted from exposure to this product. (See Health Hazard Data on previous page.) Alkyl lead intoxicating is not expected under normal handling and conditions of use. Emergency and First Aid Procedures Eyes: Object is to flush material out then seek medical attention. Immediately flush eyes with larg amounts of water for at least 15 minutes holding lids apart to ensure flushing of the entire eye surface. Seek medical attention. Skin: Wash contaminated areas with plenty of soap and water. A soothing ointment may be applied to irritated skin after thorough cleansing. Remove contaminated clothing and footwear. Seek medical attention if symptoms result. Inhalation: Get affected person out of contaminated area to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, resuscitate and administer oxygen if readily available. Seek medical attention immediately. Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep airway clear. Seek medical attention immediately. Notes to Physician: Gastric lavage only if large quantity has been ingested. Guard against aspiration into lungs which may result in chemical Pheumonitis. Irregular heart beat may occur; use of Adrenaline is not advisable. Treat Symptomatically. Reactivity Data Conditions Contributing to instability: Under normal conditions, the material is stable. Heat, sparks and static electricity can ignite the product. Use EP equipment to transfer. Incompatibility: Avoid strong oxidizing agents (peroxide, chlorine, dichromate, etc.), strong acids, caustics and halogens. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide and other toxic organic compounds. Conditions Contributing to Hazardous Polymerization: Material is not known to polymerize. Environmental Procedures Spills or Releases: If material is spilled or released to the atmosphere, steps should be taken to contain liquids and prevent discharges to streams or sewer systems; and control or stop the loss of volatile materials to the atmosphere. Spills or releases should be reported, if required, to the appropriate local, state and federal regulatory agencies. Disposal: Clean-up action should be carefully planned and executed. Shipment, storage, and/or disposal of waste materials are regulated and action to handle/or dispose of spilled or released materials must meet all applicable local, state and federal rules and regulations. If any question exists, the appropriate agencies should be contacted to assure proper action being taken. Waste product and contaminated material will be considered a hazardous waste if the flash point is less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit requiring disposal at an approved hazardous waste facility. Storage: Protect against physical damage. Outside or detached storage is preferred. Separate from oxidizing materials. Store in cool, well ventilated area of non-combustible construction away from possible sources of ignition. Industrial Hygiene Control Measures Ventilation Requirements: Work in well ventilated areas. Special ventilation is not required under normal use. Good engineering controls in high volume uses is required in some localities. Specific Personal Protective Equipment Respiratoy: Respiratory protection is not required under normal use. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection following manufacturer's recommendation where spray, mist, or vapor may be generated. Supplied air respiratory protection is required for IDLH areas. Eye: Face shield and goggles or chemical goggles should be worn where mist or spray may be generated. Gloves: Impervious gloves should be worn during routine handling of this product. Clothing and Equipment: Standard work clothing. Shoes contaminated with this product that can not be decontaminated should be discarded. Clothing contaminated with this product should be removed, washed in soap and water and dried before reuse, Contaminated clothing should be stored in well ventilated areas. Shower and eyewash facilities should be accessible. Monitoring Exposure Biological: No applicable procedure: Breath analysis for hydrocarbons has been suggested. Analysis of blood for lead may be used as an index of exposure to the Alkyl lead compound. Personal / Area: Both active and passive monitor employing charcoal absorption followed by gas chromatography. A molecular weight of 69 has been suggested as the average value to convert the determined weight of hydrocarbons to ppm. Direct reading indication tubes are available to evaluate short term exposure. SHIPPING INFORMATION
