Hydrocarbon liquids including this product can act as a non-conductive flammable liquid (or
static accumulator), and may form ignitable vapor-air mixtures in storage tanks or other
containers. Precautions to prevent static initiated fire or explosion during transfer, storage
or handling, include but are not limited to these examples: (1) Ground and bond containers
during product transfers. Grounding and bonding may not be adequate protection to
prevent ignition or explosion of hydrocarbon liquid and vapors that are static accumulators.
(2) Special slow load procedures for "switch loading" must be followed to avoid the static
ignition hazard that can exist when higher flash point material (such as fuel or diesel) is
loaded into tanks previously containing low flash point products (such as gasoline or
naphtha). (3) Storage tank level floats must be effectively bonded. For more information on
precautions to prevent static-initiated fire or explosion, see NFPA 77 Recommended
Practice on Static Electricity and API Recommended Practice 2003 Protection Against
Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents.
Storage Conditions Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from
heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric motors and static
electricity). Keep in properly labeled containers. Do not store near combustible materials.
Keep in an area equipped with sprinklers. Store in accordance with the particular national
regulations. Store in accordance with local regulations. Store locked up. Keep out of the
reach of children. Store away from other materials.
Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame. Use approved
containers. Keep containers closed and clearly labeled. Empty or partially full product
containers or vessels may contain explosive vapors. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld or
expose containers to sources of ignition. Store in a well-ventilated area. The storage area
should comply with NFPA 30 "Flammable and Combustible Liquid Code". The cleaning of
tanks previously containing this product should follow API Recommended Practice (RP)
2013 "Cleaning Mobile Tanks In Flammable and Combustible Liquid Service" and API RP
2015 "Cleaning Petroleum Storage Tanks". Keep away from food, drink and animal feed.
Incompatible with oxidizing agents. Incompatible with acids. Emergency eye wash
capability should be available in the near proximity to operations presenting a potential
splash exposure.
NOTE: Limits shown for guidance only. For additional information, OSHA’s 1989 air contaminants standard exposure limits
provided even though the limits were vacated in 1992. State, local or other agencies or advisory groups may have established
more stringent limits. Follow applicable regulations.
Skin and body protection Wear suitable protective clothing. Long sleeved clothing. Chemical resistant apron.
Antistatic boots.
Respiratory protection When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use
appropriate certified respirators. Use a NIOSH approved respirator when there is a potential
for airborne concentrations to exceed occupational exposure limits. Refer to OSHA 29 CFR
1910.134, ANSI Z88.2, NIOSH Respirator Decision Logic, and the respirator manufacturer
for additional guidance on respiratory protection selection. A Self-Contained Breathing
Apparatus (SCBA) should be used for fire fighting. Use a NIOSH approved
positive-pressure supplied air respirator if there is a potential for uncontrolled release,
exposure levels are unknown, in oxygen deficient (less than 19.5% oxygen), or any other
circumstance where an air-purifying respirator may not provide adequate protection.

ATEmix (dermal) 1,987.00 mg/kg
ATEmix (inhalation-dust/mist) 2.70 mg/l
Delayed and immediate effects as well as chronic effects from short and long-term exposure
Chemical Name
Naphthalene Acute (short term) exposure to large amounts of naphthalene may damage or destroy red
blood cells, a condition termed hemolytic anemia. Symptoms of hemolytic anemia include
fatigue, lack of appetite, restlessness, and pale skin. Acute inhalation or oral exposure to
large amounts of naphthalene may also cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, blood in the
urine, and a yellow color to the skin. Ingestion may result in death. Chronic (long term)
exposure in rats and mice can lead to irritation and inflammation of their nose and lungs;
nasal hyperplasia and metaplasia in respiratory and olfactory epithelium has been reported
in studies in mice. Exposure to high enough levels may have effects on the blood, resulting
in chronic hemolytic anemia, and effects on the eyes, resulting in the development of
cataracts. Cancer from naphthalene exposure has been observed in animals, but not
humans. IARC has classified naphthalene as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B),
and the ECHA C&L Inventory reports that naphthalene is suspected of causing cancer
(Carc. 2).
Ethylbenzene Ethylbenzene may be fatal if it is swallowed and enters the airways. Short term (acute)
exposure to ethylbenzene can cause eye, skin, and throat irritation. It may have effects on
the central nervous system including dizziness, and at very high exposure, lowering on
consciousness. Long-term exposures orally and by inhalation have been shown to cause
damage to the inner ear and hearing in animals. Long term or repeated exposure to high
enough levels of ethylbenzene may have effects on the kidneys and liver, resulting in
impaired functions, and repeated contact with skin may cause dryness and cracking.
Animal studies indicate some evidence of adverse effects on the liver, kidney, thyroid, and
pituitary gland. In a 2-year inhalation study in mice and rats, the animals were exposed to
0, 75, 250, and 750 ppm ethylbenzene 6 hours/day, 5 days/week. Renal effects were
observed in male rats (renal tubule hyperplasia) and female rats (renal tubule adenoma
and adenoma or carcinoma) exposed to 750 ppm. The incidence of adenoma in the testes
of males was significantly greater than in the control group and exceeded the historical
control range for inhalation studies. The incidences of alveolar/bronchiolar adenoma was
increased in males and the incidence of hepatocellular adenoma was increased in females.
IARC has classified ethylbenzene as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). Studies
do not provide conclusive evidence of reproductive effects. In one study, developmental
effects were reported in animals but only at very high doses (≥1000 ppm) that are likely to
be toxic to the mother. The relevance of these findings to humans is not clear at this time.
