Section 10 - Stability and Reactivity
Reactivity:
This product is unlikely to react or decompose under normal storage conditions. However, if you have
any doubts, contact the supplier for advice on shelf life properties.
Conditions to Avoid:
This product should be kept in a cool place, preferably below 30°C. Containers should be
kept dry. Keep away from heat, flames and sparks. Keep away from sources of sparks or ignition.
Incompatibilities:
strong oxidising agents.
Fire Decomposition:
Combustion forms carbon dioxide, and if incomplete, carbon monoxide and possibly smoke.
Water is also formed. Carbon monoxide poisoning produces headache, weakness, nausea, dizziness, confusion,
dimness of vision, disturbance of judgment, and unconsciousness followed by coma and death.
Polymerisation:
Polymerisation reactions are unlikely; they are not expected to occur.
Section 11 - Toxicological Information
Toxicity:
A summary of white spirit type hydrocarbons can be found at
http://www.inchem.org/documents/ehc/ehc/ehc187.htmIngestion of white spirit has been reported to produce gastrointestinal irritation with pain, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Lesions of the mucous membranes in the oesophagus and the gastrointestinal tract followed the oral exposure.
Owing to its low viscosity and low surface tension, white spirit poses a risk of aspiration into the lungs following oral
exposure. A few ml of solvent aspirated into the lungs are able to produce serious bronchopneumonia and 10-30ml
may be fatal.
Prolonged dermal exposure to white spirit, e.g., resulting from wearing clothes that have been soaked or moistened
by white spirit for hours, may produce irritation and dermatitis.
Single cases of acute toxicity to the kidney, liver and bone marrow have been reported following exposure to white
spirit at high levels. However, owing to lack of details and the sporadic nature of the reportings, the relevance of
these findings is unclear.
Inhalation of aliphatic hydrocarbon vapours seems to show little toxicity but are CNS depressants and have a
disinhibiting euphoric effect.
Inhalation:
Short Term Exposure:
High vapour pressures may cause drowsiness and dizziness, could be anaesthetic and may
have other central nervous system effects. In addition product may be mildly irritating, although unlikely to cause
anything more than mild transient discomfort.
Long Term Exposure:
Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Skin Contact:
Short Term Exposure:
Available data indicates that this product is not harmful. It should present no hazards in
normal use. However product may be irritating, but is unlikely to cause anything more than mild transient discomfort.
Long Term Exposure:
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Eye Contact:
Short Term Exposure:
This product may be mildly irritating to eyes, but is unlikely to cause anything more than mild
discomfort which should disappear once product is removed.
Long Term Exposure:
No data for health effects associated with long term eye exposure.
Ingestion:
Short Term Exposure:
Significant oral exposure is considered to be unlikely. Product may be irritating to mucous
membranes. Aspiration into the lungs when swallowed and/or vomited may cause chemical pneumonitis which can
cause lung damage and may be fatal.
Long Term Exposure:
No data for health effects associated with long term ingestion.
Carcinogen Status:
SWA:
No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by SWA.
NTP:
No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by NTP.
IARC:
No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by IARC.
Classification of Hazardous Ingredients
