Kerosine (Fischer-Tropsch), full-range, C8-16-branched and linear

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Eyes: Flush eye with water. If irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Protect the airway if vomiting begins. Give nothing by mouth. If breathing but unconscious, place in the recovery position. If breathing has stopped, apply artificial respiration. Obtain medical attention immediately.

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing but unconscious, place in the recovery position. If breathing has stopped, apply artificial respiration. If heartbeat absent give external cardiac compression. Monitor breathing and pulse. Obtain medical attention immediately.

Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with water using soap if available. Obtain medical attention if irritation occurs.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agents: Foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only.

Products arising from burning or pyrolysis: the substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a fire, evolving noxious fumes (e.g. carbon oxides).

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus must be worn. Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to the relevant national or international

standards.Absorb spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material (eg. sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste containers. Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in the same way as the original substance containers. For large spills, dike spilled material or otherwise contain the material to ensure run-off does not reach a waterway.

Handling and storage

The substance should be stored, handled and used under conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with any local regulations in order to avoid exposure. Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the substance. When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn. Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate international or national standards as follows: Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374; Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368; Eye protection to Standard EN166. Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be used, it must be capable of adequately controlling exposure, be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the appropriate international or national standards, such as a powered air respirator conforming to EN12941. These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store tanks away from heat and other sources of ignition. Do not store in unsuitable, unlabelled or incorrectly labelled containers. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat and ignition.

SpecialProvisions

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure Limits: There is no appropriate occupational exposure limit for this material. If vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their

concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.

Protective Clothing: Wear face visor or goggles in circumstances where eye contact can accidentally occur. If skin contact is likely, wear impervious protective clothing and/or gloves. Protective clothing should be regularly inspected and maintained; overalls should be dry-cleaned, laundered

and preferably starched after use.

Respiratory Protection: If operations are such that exposure to vapour, mist or fume may be anticipated, then suitable approved respiratory

equipment should be worn. The use of respiratory equipment must be strictly in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions and any

statutory requirements governing its selection and use.

Stability and reactivity

The substance is stable under normal conditions of use.

Disposal considerations

Dispose of via an authorised person/ licensed waste disposal contractor in accordance with local regulations. Empty packages may contain some

remaining product. Hazard warning labels are a guide to the safe handling of empty packaging and should not be removed.

Used/ contaminated product - European Waste Catalogue (EWC) 13 07 03 other fuels.

However, deviation from the intended use and/or the presence of any potential contaminants may require an alternative waste disposal code to be

assigned by the end user.

Incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment processor in

accordance with local regulations. Stack gases should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon oxides) could be formed.

Storage: Only use in well ventilated areas. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well

ventilated place when not in use.
