MSDS For B100 Biodiesel
1. CHEMICAL PRODUCT
General Product Name: Biodiesel (B100)
Product Description: Methyl esters from lipid sources
2. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
This product contains no hazardous materials.
3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health Effects:
INHALATION:
Negligible unless heated to produce vapors. Vapors or finely misted materials may irritate the mucous membranes and cause irritation, dizziness, and nausea. Remove to fresh air.
EYE CONTACT:
May cause irritation. Irrigate eye with water for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Seek medicalattention if symptoms persist.
SKIN CONTACT:
Prolonged or repeated contact is not likely to cause significant skin irritation. Material issometimes encountered at elevated temperatures. Thermal burns are possible.
INGESTION:
No hazards anticipated from ingestion incidental to industrial exposure.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES:
Irrigate eyes with a heavy stream of water for at least 15 to 20 minutes.
SKIN:
Wash exposed areas of the body with soap and water.
INHALATION:
Remove from area of exposure; seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
INGESTION:
Give one or two glasses of water to drink. If gastro-intestinal symptoms develop, consultmedical personnel. (Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.)
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point (Method Used): 130.0 C or 266.0 F min
Flammability Limits: None known
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Dry chemical, foam, halon, CO2, water spray (fog). Water stream may splash the burning liquid and spread fire.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Use water spray to cool drums exposed to fire.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES SPILL CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES
Remove sources of ignition, contain spill to smallest area possible. Stop leak if possible. Pick up small spills with absorbent materials and dispose of properly to avoid spontaneous combustion (see unusual fire and explosion hazards above). Recover large spills for salvage or disposal. Wash hard surfaces with safety solvent or detergent to remove remaining oil film. Greasy nature will result in a slippery surface.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in closed containers between 5°C and 58°F.
Keep away from oxidizing agents, excessive heat, and ignition sources.
Do not store or use near heat, spark, or flame, store out of sun.
Do not puncture, drag, or slide this container.
Drum is not a pressure vessel; never use pressure to empty.
