FUEL OIL NO. 5 Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
General Description
Oily dark liquid with strong lube oil odor. Insoluble in water. Usually less dense than water.
Air & Water Reactions
Flammable. Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
FUEL OIL NO. 5 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 to produce mostly carbon dioxide and water.
Health Hazard
INGESTION: gastrointestinal irritation. ASPIRATION: treatment probably not required; delayed development of pulmonary irritation can be detected by serial chest x-rays; consider prophylactic antibiotic regime if condition warrants. EYES: wash with copious quantity of water. SKIN: wipe off and wash with soap and water.
