General Description
Oily yellow-brown liquid. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water. (USCG, 1999)

Hazards

Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Flammable. Insoluble in water.
Fire Hazard
No information available.
Health Hazard
INGESTION: minimal gastrointestinal tract irritation; increased frequency of bowel passage may occur. ASPIRATION: pulmonary irritation is normally minimal but may become more severe several hours after exposure. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
May be incompatible with strong oxidizing agents like nitric acid. Charring may occur followed by ignition of unreacted material and other nearby combustibles. In other settings, mostly unreactive. Not affected by aqueous solutions of acids, alkalis, most oxidizing agents, and most reducing agents. Burns exothermically when heated sufficiently or when ignited in the presence of air, oxygen or strong oxidizing agents.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)

First Aid
INGESTION: do NOT lavage or induce vomiting.

ASPIRATION: treatment probably not required; delayed development of pulmonary irritation can be detected by serial chest x-rays.

EYES: wash with copious quantity of water.

SKIN: wipe off and wash with soap and water. (USCG, 1999)
