Common names:

2Methyl sulfhydrate, thiomethanol, methanethiol.
3Methyl monosulfide, dimethyl thioether, methyl sulfide, thiopropane.
4Methyl disulfide, disulfide dimethyl.
Note: Terpene hydrocarbons include mainly alpha and beta pinene and other C10H16 hydrocarbons. Crude Sulfate
Turpentine may also contain variable concentrations of miscellaneous sulfur compounds, some of which are
known to be hazardous. Sulfur compounds in Crude Sulfate Turpentine vary by the region where they are
produced, the tree species and whether the product is from a bleached or unbleached mill. Specific chemical
analyses may be requested from the mill producing the Crude Sulfate Turpentine.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Inhalation may cause respiratory tract irritation, difficulty breathing, and respiratory tract
damage. Symptoms may include coughing, burning, difficulty breathing and shortness of breath.
Remove exposed person to fresh air and get medical advice. If gases released from turpentine (e.g.
methyl mercaptan) create exposures they may have central nervous system (CNS) effects. Exposure
to high concentrations can cause nausea, headache, dizziness, difficulty breathing.
Eye Contact: Liquid turpentine may cause serious eye irritation and conjunctivitis. Vapors are irritating
to the eyes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Immediately flush with running water
for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation and dermatitis. Remove contaminated clothing, footwear, and
accessories such as a watch. Wash clothing before reuse and discard footwear which cannot be
decontaminated. Immediately wash with warm running water and soap. Get medical attention if
irritation persists.
Skin Absorption: Liquid can penetrate skin to produce systemic effects. Wash thoroughly with soap
and water and rinse.
Ingestion: If swallowed, can produce nausea, chemical pneumonitis or serious illness. DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITING. Get immediate medical attention.
Symptoms or Effects:
Acute Symptoms/Effects – Vapors cause headache, confusion, and respiratory aspiration hazard. Liquid
irritates the skin. If ingested, can irritate the entire digestive system and may injure kidneys. If liquid
is taken into the lungs it may cause severe pneumonitis.
Delayed Symptoms/Effects – Delayed effects may include chemical pneumonitis and allergic skin
sensitization. See Section 11 for additional information on chronic effects.

5. Fire-fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media and Restrictions: Foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical. If water must be used,
use as a mist or fog only.
Specific Hazards, Anticipated Combustion Products: Combustion products may be carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, methyl mercaptan, sulfur oxides, aldehydes and dimethyl sulfide.
Autoignition Temperature: 488°F (253°C)
Special Firefighting Equipment/Procedures: Water may be ineffective in quenching fire, but can be
used to cool fire-exposed containers and surroundings. Toxic gases may be released during fire.
Use SCBA with full face piece and operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors may be ignited by heat, sparks, flame or static electricity.
Forms explosive vapor/air mixtures if combined with strong oxidizer (especially chlorine). Gases and
vapors released may create flammable atmospheres from the liquid.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be taken in case Material Is Released or Spilled: Immediately notify safety and
environmental personnel. Ventilate to remove vapors from spill area.
Small Spill: Absorb with an inert material and place the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal
container.
Large Spill: Toxic flammable liquid, insoluble or very slightly soluble in water. Keep away from heat and
sources of ignition. Absorb with non-combustible material. Prevent entry into sewers, dike if needed.
Personnel involved in cleanup should use appropriate protection to prevent contact with liquid and
excessive vapor inhalation.
7. Handling and Storage
Precautions to be taken in Handling and Storage: This material is reasonably stable when stored in a
well-ventilated, cool place in a suitable container sealed to exclude air. Turpentine vapors are
heavier than air and can accumulate in low areas. Reduced sulfur compound gases and vapors may
be released which can be lighter or heavier than air. Hazardous levels of flammable and toxic
reduced sulfur compounds, (e.g. methyl mercaptan) and turpentine vapors, may collect in the
headspace of enclosed tanks or railcars. Store away from oxidizing agents. Protect containers
against physical damage. Use grounding straps when dispensing liquid. Do not smoke in areas of
storage or use.

8. Exposure Control Measures/Personal Protection (cont’d.)
Ventilation:
LOCAL EXHAUST – Provide local exhaust as needed so that exposure limits are met.
MECHANICAL (GENERAL) – Provide general ventilation in processing and storage areas so that
exposure limits are met.
SPECIAL – Ensure that ventilation systems are of spark and explosion proof design.
OTHER ENGINEERING CONTROLS: NAP
Personal Protective Equipment:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION – If Turpentine and total reduced sulfur (TRS) gases are at levels below
their respective allowable levels an air-purifying respirator may be used, following a hazard
determination, assuming the filter cartridge/canister is appropriate for TRS gases. A full facepiece
respirator will prevent eye irritation. If a half mask respirator is used, tight fitting goggles must also be
used. If air concentrations exceed recommended levels (or unknown concentrations) at least a
supplied-air respirator with full facepiece, operated in pressure demand mode in combination with
separate escape supply is recommended. Eye irritation may become a serious issue at elevated
levels. Use respiratory protective equipment tested and approved under appropriate government
standards such as NIOSH (US), CSA (Canada), CEN (EU), or JIS (Japan) where ventilation is not
possible and exposure limits may be exceeded or for additional worker comfort or symptom relief
following a determination of exposure risks.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES – Chemical resistant gloves such as neoprene or polyvinyl alcohol are
recommended.
EYE PROTECTION – Full-face mask respirator or chemical goggles and faceshield are recommended
depending on the exposure potential.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT – Long sleeve protective garments may be used to
protect against exposures from splash hazards. Launder contaminated clothing prior to reuse.
WORK/HYGIENE PRACTICES – Eyewash stations and safety showers should be readily accessible
where there is the possibility for splash hazards. Avoid all contact with skin and eyes. Follow good
hygienic and housekeeping practices.

Conditions to Avoid: This material is reasonably stable when stored in a well-ventilated, cool place in a
suitable container sealed to exclude air. Turpentine vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate
in low areas. Reduced sulfur compound gases and vapors may be released which can be lighter or
heavier than air.
