The product obtained by the fractional distillation of rosin at a temperature above 360.degree.C | [General Description]
A water-white to brown-colored viscous, odorless liquid. Insoluble in water. Flash point near 80°F. Vapors are heavier than air. Used as a lubricant and solvent. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Highly flammable. Insoluble in water. | [Reactivity Profile]
ROSIN OIL NO 1 is subject to spontaneous heating [Hawley]. 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. When heated sufficiently or when ignited in the presence of air, oxygen or strong oxidizing agents, burns exothermically. | [Health Hazard]
Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. | [Fire Hazard]
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 ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. |
