Genium Publishing Corporation Material Safety Data Sheets Collection: ® 1145 Catalyn Street Sheet No.468 Schenectady,NY 12303-1836 USA Fuel Oil No. 1 V (518)377-8854 Issued: 3/82 Revision: A, 11/90 ection l Materpal:Identification ..,... .:: ' Fuel Oil No 1 Description:A kerosine-like mixture of petroleum hydrocarbons;a distillate of controlled sulfur content. R 1 NFPA3 Fuel oil no.I is available for home heating use. I 2 Other Designations:Coal oil,heating fuel,kerosene,kerosine,range oil. S 1 Manufacturer:Contact your supplier or distributor.Consult the latest ChemicalweekBuyers'Guidem)for a suppliers list. K 2 0 0 V HMIS H 0 F 2 Cautions:Fuel oil No.1 is a skin,eye,and mucous membtane irritant and central nervous system(CNS)depressant.Ingestion may lead R0 to aspiration pneumonitis.It is flamntab/e when exposed to heat or flame.

" Section 4 F11-e and;Expiosion Dafa Flash Point: 100 to 162-F(43 to 72-C) Autolgnition Temperature 410'F(210'C) LEL:0.7%v/v UEL:5%.v/v Extinguishing Media:Use dry ehemcial,carbon dioxide,foam,water fog or spray.Do not use a forced water spray directly on burning oil since �. 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 bum with explosive violence. Special Fire-fighting Procedures:Since fire may produce toxic fumes,wear a self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA)with a full faccpiece operated in pressure-demand or positive-pressure mode and full protective clothing.Be aware of runoff from fire control methods.Do not release to sewers or waterways due to health and fire or explosion hazard. Section 5 :Reactivity Data: Stability/Polymerization:Fuel oil no.l is stable at room temperature in closed containers under normal storage and handling conditions.Haz- ardous polymerization cannot occur. i Chemical Incompatibilities:Fuel oil no.1 is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents;heating greatly increases fire hazard. Conditions to Avoid:Avoid heat and ignition sources. Hazardous Products of Decomposition:Thermal oxidative decomposition of fuel oil no. 1 can produce carbon dioxide;incomplete combustion 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 reining 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 or mist can cause respiratory tract irritation,headache,dizziness,nausea.stupor.convulsions,or unconsciousness.depending on concentration and exposure
