OLOA 61007

Move the exposed person to fresh air. Get medical attention if coughing or respiratory discomfort occurs. If exposure to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas is possible during an emergency, wear an approved, positive pressure air-supplying respirator. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get immediate medical attention.

Symptoms: Coughing, difficulty breathing, respiratory irritation, irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. Moderate levels can cause headache, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Higher levels can cause shock, convulsions, coma, and death.

Wash skin with water immediately and remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if any symptoms develop. To remove the material from skin, apply a waterless hand cleaner, mineral oil, or petroleum jelly. Then wash with soap and water. Discard contaminated clothing and shoes or thoroughly clean before reuse.

Symptoms: Allergic skin reaction. Symptoms may include pain, itching, discoloration, swelling, and blistering.

Remove contact lenses, if worn, and flush eyes with water.

Symptoms: Not expected to cause prolonged or significant eye irritation.

Do not induce vomiting. As a precaution, get medical advice.

Symptoms: Not expected to be harmful if swallowed.

Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.

Combustion Products: Highly dependent on combustion conditions. A complex mixture of airborne solids, liquids, and gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and unidentified organic compounds will be evolved when this material undergoes combustion.

This material will burn although it is not easily ignited. See Section 7 for proper handling and storage.

Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Contain release to prevent further contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater.

Clean up spill as soon as possible, observing precautions in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as applying non-combustible absorbent materials or pumping.

Materials: non-combustible absorbent materials

Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Do not breathe gas. Wash thoroughly after handling. Toxic quantities of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) may be present in storage tanks and bulk transport vessels. Persons opening or entering these compartments should first determine if H2S is present.

The recommended long-term (2 weeks or more) storage temperature is ambient to 45°C (113°F) maximum. Storage temperatures for up to 2 weeks should not exceed 66°C (150°F).

Wash thoroughly after handling.

Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition. Bonding and grounding may be necessary. Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures.

Use general ventilation, local exhaust ventilation, or a combination of both.

Selection of chemical protective clothing should be performed by an Occupational Hygienist or Safety Professional and be based upon applicable standards (ASTM F739 or EN 374). Using chemical PPE depends upon operations conducted and may include chemical gloves. Refer to PPE manufacturers to obtain breakthrough time information to determine how long PPE can be used before it needs to be replaced. Chemical Glove Material: Butyl (0.35 mm, 5 min), Neoprene (1.4 mm, 30 min), Nitrile (0.8 mm, 30 min), Nitrile (0.23 mm, 7 min), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) (1.1 mm, 15 min), Viton Butyl (0.3 mm, 120 min).

Wear protective equipment to prevent eye contact. Selection of protective equipment may include safety glasses, chemical goggles, face shields, or a combination depending on the work operations conducted.

No respiratory protection is normally required. If material is heated and emits hydrogen sulfide, determine if airborne concentrations are below the occupational exposure limit for hydrogen sulfide. If not, wear an approved positive pressure air-supplying respirator. For more information on hydrogen sulfide, see Chevron SDS No. 301. If user operations generate an oil mist, determine if airborne concentrations are below the occupational exposure limit for mineral oil mist. If not, wear an approved respirator that provides adequate protection from the measured concentrations of this material. For air-purifying respirators use a particulate cartridge.

Wear chemical personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent skin contact. Selection of chemical protective clothing should be performed by an Occupational Hygienist or Safety Professional and be based upon applicable standards (ASTM F739 or EN 374). Using chemical PPE depends upon operations conducted and may include chemical gloves, boots, chemical apron, chemical suit, and complete facial protection.

See relevant Community environmental protection legislation or the Annex, as applicable.

This material is considered stable under normal ambient and anticipated storage and handling conditions of temperature and pressure.

May react with strong acids or strong oxidizing agents, such as chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, etc.

Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

Do not exceed handling and storage temperatures listed in SDS Section 7 (Handling and Storage).

Not applicable

Alkyl Mercaptans (See Section 7), Hydrogen Sulfide (See Section 7)

Use material for its intended purpose or recycle if possible.

This material, if it must be discarded, may meet the criteria of a hazardous waste as defined by international, country, or local laws and regulations.
