PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not applicable - - - - Due to dissociation of nitrogen and oxygen from hydrocarbon through the formation of ammonia and water, the saturation of unsaturated bonds and the deposition and separation of its metal components by the catalysts during the hydrorefining process, the substance does not contain chemical groups associated with explosive properties.
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products.
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
6 Flammable liquids Not classified - - - - Its flash point is > 124degC (CONCAWE (1997)), which is above 93degC.
7 Flammable solid Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - Due to dissociation of nitrogen and oxygen from hydrocarbon through the formation of ammonia and water, the saturation of unsaturated bonds and the deposition and separation of its metal components by the catalysts during the hydrorefining process, the substance does not contain chemical groups associated with explosive or self-reactive properties.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not classified - - - - Referring to a lubricant base oil (CAS No. 64742-53-6), produced through either hydrorefining or decomposition of petroleum distillate or distillation residue of a product similar to the test substance, its autoignition point is > 315degC (Ergon refining, Inc's MSDS). Since its autoignition point is above 70degC, the test substance was classified into "Not classified".
10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable to liquid substances are not available.
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not applicable - - - - Due to deposition and separation of its metal components by the catalysts during the hydrorefining process, the substance does not contain metals or metalloids (B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At).
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Due to dissociation of oxygen from hydrocarbon through water formation, and the deposition and separation of its metal components by the catalysts during the hydrorefining process, the substance does not contain oxygen or halogen.
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Due to dissociation of oxygen from hydrocarbon through water formation during the hydrorefining process, the substance is considered as an organic compound containing no bivalent -O-O- structure.
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - No data available.

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - Its rat LC50 is documented to be 3.9 mg/L (RTECS (2000)). However, classification is not possible due to insufficient data available. With its average molecular weight being 360 and its boiling point being 150-300degC, the experiment was presumably conducted in mist.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - As the IARC classified highly refined mineral oils into Group 3, and untreated and mildly treated mineral oils into Group 1 (IARC 33 (1987)), classification is differentiated by the degree of refinement. Because the degree of refinement associated with this substance is unknown, it is classified into "Classification not possible".
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - According to inhalation tests using rats, its toxic effects documented include behavioral abnormalities, tremors (central nervous system), and labored breathing (respiratory system) (RTECS (2000)). However, due to insufficient data available, classification is not possible.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
10 Aspiration hazard Category 1 Danger H304: May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P331: Do NOT induce vomiting.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since it is a hydrocarbon and its kinematic viscosity is 17.0 mm2/s at 40degC (CONCAWE (1997)), the substance was classified into Category 1.
