Genium Publishing Corporation Material Safety Data Sheets Collection: 468 1145 NYCatalyri 123 Street Sheet No. Schenectady,NY 12303-1836 USA Fuel Oil No.o. I P (518)377-8854 Issued: 3/82 Revision: A, 11/90 Section 1. Material Identification Fuel OII No.1 Description:A kerosine-like mixture of petroleum hydrocarbons;a distillate of controlled sulfur content. R 1 NFPA Fuel oil no. 1 is available for home heating use. I - Other Designations: Coal oil,heating fuel,kerosene,kerosine,range oil. S 1 Manufacturer:Contact your supplier or distributor.Consult the latest ChemicalweekBuyeri Guider"]for a suppliers list. K 2 0 6 HMIS H F . Cautious:Fuel oil No. I is a skin,eye,and mucous membrane irritant and central nervous system(CNS)depressant.Ingestion may lead PPG' C to aspiration pneunonitis.It is flammable when exposed to heat or flame. Section 2. Ingredients and Occupational Exposure Limits Fuel oil No. 1,ca 100% 1989 OSHA PEL 1990.91 ACGIH TLV 1988 NIOSH REL 1985-86 Toxicity Data* None established None established None established Rat,oral,LD.:9 g/kg;produces gastmintesdnal effe:_ (hypermotility,diarrhea) •Monitor NIOSH,RTECS(HZI 800000),for future toxicity data. Section 3. Physical Data Boiling Range:302 to 554 T(1 50 to 290 C) Specific Gravity:0.8251 at 59'F(15'C) Freezing Point:-40'F(40'C) Water Solubility:losoluble Vapor Pressure,100'F(39'C):ca 5 %Volatile by Volume: >99 Viscosity: 160 centistoke at 99.5'F(37.5'C) Appearance and Odor:Light amber liquid with a mild petroleum odor. Section 4. Fire and Explosion Data Flash Point: 100to1627(43to72'C) I AutoignitionTemperature:410'F(210'C) LEL:0.7%viv UEL: 5%viv Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemcial,carbon dioxide,foam,water fog or spray.Do not use a forced water spray directly on burning oi:sir.:. this scatters the fire.Use a smothering technique to extinguish fire. Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards:Caution!Vapors may spread to an ignition or heat source and burn with explosive violence. Special Fire-fighting Procedures:Since fire may produce toxic fumes,wear a self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA)with a full faceniecc operated in pressure-demand or positive-pressure mode and full protective clothing.Be aware of runoff from fire control methods.Do not:leas: to sewers or waterways due to health and fire or explosion hazard. Section 5. Reactivity Data StaDility/Polymerizatlon:Fuel oilno.1 is stable at room temperature inclosed containers under normal storage and handling conditions. Haz- ardous polymerization cannot occur. Chemical Incompatibilities:Fuel oil no.1 is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents;heating greatly increases fire hazard. Conditions to Avoid: Avoid heal and ignition sources. Hazardous Products of Decomposition:Thermal oxidative decomposition of fuel oil no. 1 can produce carbon dioxide;incomplete combust::- can produce carbon monoxide. Section 6. Health Hazard Data Carcinogenicity: Although the IARC has not assigned an overall evaluation,it has evaluated occupational exposures in petroleum rcfinin_as IARC probable human carcinogens(Group 2A). Summary of Risks: Fuel oil No.1 is insufficiently volatile to constitute an acute inhalation hazard.Excessive inhalation of aerosol er mc,:;t- cause respiratory tract irritation,headache,dizziness,nausea,stupor,convulsions,or unconsciousness,depending on concentration and time.When removed from exposure area,affected persons usually experience complete recovery.Death may occur by asphyxiation due to Continue on next page
