CHEMICAL PRODUCT and COMPANY INFORMATION <br /> HOVENSA LLC <br /> 1 Estate Hope <br /> Christiansted,VI 00820-5652 <br /> EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER(24 hrs): CHEMTREC (800)424-9300 <br /> COMPANY CONTACT(business hours): (340) 692-3000 <br /> SYNONYMS: Military Aviation Jet Fuel JP-8 <br /> See Section 16 for abbreviations and acronyms. <br /> 2. COMPOSITION and INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS <br /> INGREDIENT NAME(CAS No.) CONCENTRATION PERCENT BY WEIGHT <br /> Kerosene (8008-20-6) 100 <br /> Naphthalene (91-20-3) Typically 0.04 <br /> A complex combination of hydrocarbons including naphthenes, paraffins, and aromatics. <br /> 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION <br /> EYES <br /> Contact with liquid or vapor may cause mild irritation. <br /> SKIN <br /> May cause skin irritation with prolonged or repeated contact. Practically non-toxic if absorbed following <br /> acute (single) exposure. Liquid may be absorbed through the skin in toxic amounts if large areas of skin <br /> are repeatedly exposed. <br /> INGESTION <br /> The major health threat of ingestion occurs from the danger of aspiration (breathing) of liquid drops into <br /> the lungs, particularly from vomiting. Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs), <br /> severe lung damage, respiratory failure and even death. <br /> Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, including irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and <br /> central nervous system (brain) effects similar to alcohol intoxication. In severe cases, tremors, <br /> convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest, and death may occur. <br /> INHALATION <br /> Excessive exposure may cause irritation to the nose, throat, lungs and respiratory tract. Central nervous <br /> system (brain) effects may include headache, dizziness, loss of balance and coordination, <br /> unconsciousness, coma, respiratory failure, and death. <br /> WARNING: the burning of any hydrocarbon as a fuel in an area without adequate ventilation may result <br /> in hazardous levels of combustion products, including carbon monoxide, and inadequate oxygen levels, <br /> which may cause unconsciousness, suffocation, and death. <br /> Revision Date: 7/1/2006 Page 1 of 7 <br />
