Naphtha (petroleum), light catalytic reformed (CAS 64741-63-5)

Remove to fresh air. If rapid recovery does not occur, transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment.

Symptoms: If material enters lungs, signs and symptoms may include coughing, choking, wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chest congestion, shortness of breath, and/or fever. The onset of respiratory symptoms may be delayed for several hours after exposure. Breathing of high vapour concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression resulting in dizziness, light-headedness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination. Continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness and death.

Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately flush skin with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, and follow by washing with soap and water if available. If redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters occur, transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment.

Symptoms: A burning sensation, redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters.

Flush eyes with water while holding eyelids open. Rest eyes for 30 minutes. If redness, burning, blurred vision, or swelling persists, transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment.

Symptoms: A burning sensation and a temporary redness of the eye. If redness, burning, blurred vision, or swelling persists.

If swallowed, do not induce vomiting: transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration. If any of the following delayed signs and symptoms appear within the next 6 hours, transport to the nearest medical facility: fever greater than 38.3C, shortness of breath, chest congestion or continued coughing or wheezing.

Symptoms: If any of the following delayed signs and symptoms appear within the next 6 hours: fever greater than 38.3C, shortness of breath, chest congestion or continued coughing or wheezing.

Use sealed systems as far as possible. Adequate explosion-proof ventilation to control airborne concentrations below the exposure guidelines/limits. Local exhaust ventilation is recommended.

Select gloves tested to a relevant standard (e.g. Europe EN374). When prolonged or frequent repeated contact occurs, Nitrile gloves may be suitable. (Breakthrough time of > 240 minutes.) For incidental contact/splash protection Neoprene, PVC gloves may be suitable.

Chemical splash goggles (chemical monogoggles). Approved to EU Standard EN166.

If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation. Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate combination of mask and filter. Where air-filtering respirators are unsuitable (e.g. airborne concentrations are high, risk of oxygen deficiency, confined space) use appropriate positive pressure breathing apparatus. All respiratory protection equipment and use must be in accordance with local regulations. Select a filter suitable for combined particulate/organic gases and vapours (boiling point >65 C) meeting EN14387.

Chemical resistant gloves/gauntlets, boots, and apron (where risk of splashing).

Local guidelines on emission limits for volatile substances must be observed for the discharge of exhaust air containing vapour.
