General Description
Oily yellow liquid with the odor of motor oil. 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
Excerpt from 128
[Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]:
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks, etc.). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids will float on water. Substance may be transported hot. For hybrid vehicles, 147
(lithium ion batteries) or 138
(sodium batteries) should also be consulted. If molten aluminum is involved, refer to 169
. (ERG, 2020)
Health Hazard
Liquid may irritate stomach and increase frequency of bowel movements. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
OIL, [PENETRATING] 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)
- Hydrocarbons, Aliphatic Saturated
Potentially Incompatible Absorbents

Response Recommendations
Isolation and Evacuation
Excerpt from 128
[Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]:
IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE: Isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions.
LARGE SPILL: Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 300 meters (1000 feet).
FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2020)
Firefighting
Fire Extinguishing Agents Not to Be Used: Water or foam may cause frothing.
Fire Extinguishing Agents: Foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide (USCG, 1999)
Non-Fire Response
Excerpt from 128
[Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]:
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
LARGE SPILL: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Water spray may reduce vapor, but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. (ERG, 2020)
Protective Clothing
Protective gloves; goggles or face shield. (USCG, 1999)

First Aid
INGESTION: have victim drink water or milk; do NOT induce vomiting.
ASPIRATION: check for delayed development of pulmonary irritation by serial x-rays.
EYES: wash with copious amounts of water.
SKIN: wipe off, wash with soap and water. (USCG, 1999)
