2. Hazards identification
Notice to reader
Afton operates a world-wide system for hazard communication. Some hazards shown in Section 2 may apply to non-EU countries and may not result in
classification and labeling in the EU. Please see Sections 3 and 15 for country specific classification information, and Section 11 for additional details.
Europe: The preparation is classified as dangerous according to Directive 1999/45/EC and its amendments.
Australia: HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE. NON-DANGEROUS GOODS.
Primary hazards and critical effects : WARNING!
CAUSES RESPIRATORY TRACT AND EYE IRRITATION.
Physical/chemical hazards : COMBUSTIBLE. - United States and Canada
VAPOR MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE.
Environmental hazards : Toxic to aquatic organisms. May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

4. First aid measures
Inhalation : If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
medical attention immediately.
Ingestion : If affected person is fully conscious, give one glass of water to drink. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.
Skin contact : Wash with soap and [Link] medical attention if irritation occurs.
Eye contact : In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention
immediately.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media : In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical, or CO2.
Fire-fighting procedures : Fire-fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full turnout
gear.
Fire/explosion hazards : COMBUSTIBLE. - United States and Canada
VAPOR MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE. Vapors may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a
considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion
hazard.
Hazardous decomposition products : Decomposition products may include the following materials: carbon oxides (CO, CO2), nitrogen oxides
(NO, NO2 etc.), sulfur oxides (SO2, SO3 etc.), phosphates.
Flash point : Closed cup: 76°C (168.8°F). (Pensky-Martens. Minimum)
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions : Immediately contact emergency personnel. Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep unnecessary personnel away.
Use suitable protective equipment (section 8). Follow all fire-fighting procedures (section 5). Do not touch or
walk through spilled material.
Environmental precautions : If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilled material. For small spills, add absorbent (soil may be
and clean-up methods used in the absence of other suitable materials) and use a non-sparking or explosion-proof means to transfer
material to a sealable, appropriate container for disposal. For large spills, dike spilled material or otherwise
contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate container for
disposal. Minimize contact of spilled material with soils to prevent runoff to surface waterways.
Note: see section 1 for emergency contact information and section 13 for waste disposal.
7. Handling and storage
Handling : Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. To avoid fire or explosion,
dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment before transferring
material. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Wash thoroughly
after handling.
Storage : Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly
closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).
8. Exposure controls and personal protection
Engineering controls Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapours
:
below their respective limit value.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory system : Use appropriate respiratory protection if there is the potential to exceed the exposure limit(s).
Skin and body : Disposable outer garments when there is the potential for contact with the material.
Hands : Hand Protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves. Nitrile gloves of minimum thickness 0.4 mm have an
expected breakthrough time of 480 minutes or less when in frequent contact with the product. Due to variable
exposure conditions the user must consider that the practical use of a chemical-protective glove in practice
may be much shorter than the permeation time above. Manufacturer’s directions for use, especially about the
minimum thickness and the minimum breakthrough time, must be observed. This information does not replace
suitability tests by the end user since glove protection varies depending on the conditions under which the
product is used.

Eyes : Safety goggles are considered minimum protection. Goggles with a face shield may be necessary depending
on quantity of material and conditions of use.
