FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:

Remove the victim to a ventilated area. If the victim is not breathing,

apply artificial breathing. If breathing but with difficulties, apply oxygen
at a rate of 10 to 15 liters/minute. Seek medical assistance
immediately, taking product label, if possible.

Skin contact:

Immediately remove all contaminated clothes and shoes. Wash

thoroughly with plenty of clean water, for at least 20 minutes,
preferably under an emergency shower. Seek medical assistance
immediately, taking product label, if possible.

Eye contact:

Wash eyes thoroughly with plenty of clean water, for at least 20

minutes, keeping eyelids separated. Preferably, use an eye-wash
fountain. Seek medical assistance immediately, taking product label,
if possible.

Ingestion:

Do not induce vomiting. If patient if conscious, wash mouth with

plenty of clean water and have him/her to ingest olive oil or another
vegetable oil. Seek medical assistance immediately, taking product
label, if possible.

Instructions for physician:

CNS depressor. Consider the possibility of aspiration to the lungs.

The aspiration of even a small amount of gasoline into the lungs is
very hazardous and may cause chemical pneumonitis.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Appropriate fire extinguishing media:

Hydrocarbons foam, dry powder and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Not recommended media:

Do not use water directly on the burning surface, since it may raise
fire intensity.

Specific risks:

Extremely flammable. Dangerous when in contact with heat or

flames. Can release vapours that form explosive mixtures with air at
room temperature. Containers may explode in the heat of fire. The
vapour is heavier than air and can flash back to a source of ignition.

Special methods:

Remove containers from fire area, if possible without running

additional risks. Water spray must be used only to cool containers
exposed to fire.

Protection of emergency personnel:

In closed environments, use rescue equipment with autonomous air

supply.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Individual precautions
- Removal of sources of ignition:

Eliminate all sources of ignition, avoid sparks, flames and do not

smoke in risk area. Isolate the leakage from all sources of ignition.

- Dust control:

Does not apply (liquid product).

- Prevention of inhalation, skin, eye and

mucous membrane contact:

Use impermeable boots, clothes and gloves, closed security goggles

for chemical products and adequate respiratory protection.

Environmental precautions:

Try to stop the leakage, if possible without running additional risks. Do

not direct the spilled product to public drainage and sewage systems.
Avoid the contamination of surface waters and spring waters. Restrict
the spilled product to as small an area as possible. Avoid using water.
In case of using water, further treatment of contaminated water must
be taken into account.

Clean up procedures
- Recovery:

Collect the product into emergency containers appropriately labeled

and well tightened. Keep the recovered product for subsequent
elimination.

- Neutralization:

Absorb with soil or other absorbent material.

- Disposal:

Do not dispose together with ordinary garbage. Do not discharge in

sewage systems and waterways. Confine, if possible, for subsequent
recovery or disposal. The final disposal of this material should be
supervised by a specialist, following applicable environmental
legislation.

Note:

Contact local environmental agency, in case of spillage or

contamination of surface waters, spring waters or soil.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING
Technical measures:

Provide local exhausting ventilation systems where processes

require. All system conducting elements in contact with the product
should be electrically grounded. Use anti-spark tools.

- Overexposure prevention:

Utilize personal protective equipment to avoid direct contact with the

product.

Safe handling advice:

Always handle product under strict adherence to general industrial

security and hygiene recommendations.

STORAGE
Technical measures:

The floor of the storage room must be impermeable, non-oxidizing

and with contention dikes to retain the product in case of leakage.

Storage conditions
- Recommended:

Storage in adequate place with overflow basin to retain the product in

case of leakage; permitted permeabilities should be according to
ABNT-NBR-7505-1 standards or similar.

- Avoid:

Avoid contact with metals and water.

Incompatible products and material:

Strong oxidizing agents.

EXPOSURE CONTROL AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering control measures:

Handle this product in area provided with local exhausting ventilation

system or general diluting ventilation systems (with air renovation), to
maintain vapours concentrations below threshold limits.

Control parameters
- Occupational exposure limits
- Threshold values (USA, ACGIH):

Gasoline:

TLV/TWA: 300 ppm.

TLV/STEL: 500 ppm.

Personal protective equipment

- Respiratory protection:

Use autonomous breathing apparatus or pressure demand airline

respirator, in case of exposure to concentrations above threshold
limits or in emergency situations.

- Hand protection:

PVC gloves for activities in direct contact with the product.

- Eye protection:

For operations in which there may be splashes and spills, it is

recommended the usage of closed security goggles.

Special precautions:

Avoid skin contact. Emergency showers and eyewash fountains

should be provided in handling areas.

Hygiene measures:

Clean clothes and shoes after use. General control methods in

industrial hygiene must be sufficient to minimize product
overexposure. Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling chemical
products. Separate working clothes from ordinary ones.
