and be ignited by pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters, electrical
equipment, static discharges or other ignition sources at locations distant
from handling point.
HEALTH EFFECTS DATA
As the material is 80% D-Limonene it exhibits all of the health
hazards of that material, but to a lesser degree. The lower concentration
of the D-Limonene mitigates the defatting and drying effects of D-Limonene
on the skin. Although the hazards are moderate, there is still a hazard
on eye contact. If the container of Stabilant22L left uncapped for extended
periods at normal room temperatures, the D-Limolene evaporates. This reduces
the hazards somewhat. When applied to contacts, the D-Limolene will evaporate
leaving the nonvolatile portion of the material (Stabilant 22) on the surfaces,
and reference should be made to the MSDS for Stabilant 22 as to the potential
hazards of that product.
-
LD50 (oral, rat): 4400 mg/kg
-
Skin Irritation: The material is a mild irritant and may cause some
defatting and drying of the skin.
-
Prolonged Skin Exposure: Prolonged and repeated contact may cause
dermatitis.
-
First Aid on Skin Exposure: Major spills on clothing require removal
of contaminated clothing, then flush area with running water and wash with
soap and water. Small area contact, wash with running water, then soap
and water. Obtain medical advice.
-
Eye Irritation: The vapor is an irritant which may cause conjunctivitis
and corneal damage. The liquid is an eye irritant which may cause some
eye damage.
-
First Aid on Eye Exposure: Flush eyes with running water for at
least 20 minutes holding eyelids open. Obtain
medical attention immediately! Treat for D-Limolene exposure.
-
Exposure when Inhaled: May cause irritation of the eyes, nose and
throat and of the respiratory tract. Overexposure could cause Central Nervous
System Depression characterized by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea,
vomiting, abdominal pain and incoordination.
-
First Aid when Inhaled: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give
artificial respiration. Obtain medical attention immediately.
-
Oral ingestion: If victim is alert and not convulsing, rinse out
mouth and give 2 glasses of water to dilute material DO
NOT induce vomiting. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim
lean forward with head down to avoid breathing in of vomitus, rinse mouth
and administer more water. Transport victim to
an emergency facility IMMEDIATELY!

ENGINEERING CONTROLS & SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Note: Conditions of use, adequacy of engineering or of other control
measures and actual exposure Mll dictate the need for specific protective
devices at the workplace. The recommendations listed in this section indicate
the type of equipment which will prevent overexposure to the product.
-
Ventilation: Where the material is being applied by swab or small
brush, or from a dropper bottle, it is highly unlikely that sufficient
air concentration of the D-Limolene could occur under normal ventilation
such that a health hazard could be created. Whenever large volumes of the
material are being used (>500 mL) or whenever the continually exposed surface
area of the material is in excess of 3 ft.2 it is suggested that local
exhaust ventilation
-
Respiratory Protection: Where small amounts are being used with
a swab or small brush, or are being dispensed from a dropper bottle, respiratory
protection is not needed under normal ventilation conditions. Where large
volumes of the material (>500 mL) are being used or where large surface
areas are being exposed (e.g. - dipping tanks) the use of a NIOSH/MSHA
approved air purifying respirator equipped with organic vapor cartridges
be used if exposed to concentrations up to 1000 ppm. Use an air supplied
unit if exposed to higher or unknown concentrations. (Such as in bulk handling)
-
Protective Gloves: Rubber, or Neoprene gloves should be worn when
the handling of circuit boards or connectors requires constant skin contact
with the material.
-
Eye Protection: Goggles or Face shield when there is a potential
for eye contact.
-
Footwear: Non slip when handling bulk amounts.
-
Clothing: Rubber or Neoprene protective clothing when handling bulk
amounts.
-
Other: Not required.
-
Observe physical safety procedures commensurate with the size of the container
involved.
SPECIAL STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
-
Storage Procedures: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated location
away from strong oxidizers.
