Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: clear, colorless. Flash Point: 56 deg F. Warning! Flammable liquid. May cause central nervous system depression. May cause cardiac disturbances. Causes eye and skin irritation. Causes digestive and respiratory tract irritation.
Target Organs: Central nervous system.

Potential Health Effects

Eye: Causes eye irritation.
Skin: Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause defatting of the skin and dermatitis.
Ingestion: Aspiration hazard. Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause central nervous system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory failure. Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal.
Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract irritation. Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. May cause narcotic effects in high concentration. Exposure produces central nervous system depression.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and dermatitis.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Possible aspiration hazard. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Firefighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Flammable Liquid. Can release vapors that form explosive mixtures at temperatures above the flashpoint. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. May accumulate static electrical charges, and may cause ignition of its own vapors.
Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective. Water may spread fire.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using an absorbent, non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage: Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.

Section 12 - Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: No information available.
Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Photolysis or hydrolysis of n-octane is not expected to be important in soils. The biodegradation of n-octane may occur in soils; however, volatilization and adsorption are expected to be far more important fate processes. An estimated range for Koc from 5500 to 15,600 indicates n-octane will be immobile in most soils. Based upon an estimated Henry's Law Constant of 3.21 atm-cu m/mole, n-octane is also expected to apidly volatilize from moist surface soils.
Physical/Chemical: No information available.
Other: AQUATIC FATE: Photolysis or hydrolysis of n-octane in aquatic systems is not expected to be important. The biodegradation of n-octane may occur in aquatic environments, however volatilization and adsorption are expected to be far more important fate processes. The log bioconcentration factor (log BCF) for n-octane has been estimated to range from 2.89 to 3.71suggesting bioconcentration may be an important factor in aquatic systems. An estimated range for Koc from 5500 to 15,600 indicates n-octane will strongly absorb to carbon.

Section 13 - Disposal Considerations

Chemical waste generators must determine whether a discarded chemical is classified as a hazardous waste. US EPA guidelines for the classification determination are listed in 40 CFR Parts 261.3. Additionally, waste generators must consult state and local hazardous waste regulations to ensure complete and accurate classification.
