NOTES |
---|
This is a mixture of saturated aliphatic and alicyclic hydrocarbons (C7-C12) and aromatic hydrocarbons (C7-C12). May contain benzene (see ICSC 0015) but modern Stoddard solvents usually contain little or no benzene. The symptoms of chemical pneumonitis often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Auto-ignition temperature may be reduced to approx. 180°C in the presence of a high-surface-area material. Flash points may vary from 21 to 60 °C depending on the composition. |
