CAS #: 86290-81-5

UN #: 1203

EC Number: 289-220-8

	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Highly flammable. Vapour/air mixtures are explosive.	NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding).	Use powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.


	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Confusion. Cough. Dizziness. Drowsiness. Lethargy. Headache.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED! Dry skin. Redness.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety spectacles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	Nausea. Vomiting. See Inhalation.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .

GASOLINE

ICSC: 1400

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance MOBILE LIQUID. Physical dangers The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. The vapour mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are easily formed. As a result of flow, agitation, etc., electrostatic charges can be generated. Chemical dangers	Boiling point: 20-200°C Relative density (water = 1): 0.70-0.80 Solubility in water: none Relative vapour density (air = 1): 3 - 4 Flash point: <-21°C Auto-ignition temperature: ~250°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 1.3-7.1 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2-7

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour, through the skin and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. If this liquid is swallowed, aspiration into the lungs may result in chemical pneumonitis. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system.	Inhalation risk A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure The substance defats the skin, which may cause dryness or cracking. The substance may have effects on the central nervous system and liver. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
