| 4. FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA |
| |
| Flash Point: |
94°C (201°F) PMCC |
| Flammability Limits: |
NE |
| Autoignition Threshold: |
NE |
| Extinguishing Media: |
Carbon Dioxide, Foam, Dry Chemical |
| Firefighting Procedures: |
Use normal procedures for oil/solvent
mixtures. Firefighters should wear NIOSH approved positive pressure
self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid exposure from decomposition
products. Proper eye and skin protection should be used. If a spill has not
ignited, use water spray to disperse vapours and keep container cool. |
| Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: |
Water and foam may cause frothing.
After ignition, the use of water can scatter the liquid thereby possibly
spreading the fire. Ignition may also produce dense black smoke. |
| |
| 5. REACTIVITY DATA |
| |
| Stability: |
Stable |
| Incompatibility: |
Avoid strong oxidizing agents. |
| Hazardous Polymerization: |
Will not occur. |
| Conditions to Avoid: |
Sources of ignition such as sparks, hot
spots, welding, flames, and cigarettes. |
| Hazardous Decomposition Products: |
Oxides of Carbon, Sulfur, Nitrogen and
PTFE powder. |
| |
| 6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA |
| |
| Primary Routes of Entry: |
Inhalation |
| |
| Signs & Symptoms of Exposure |
| Inhalation: |
Respiratory irritation and discomfort
may be experienced if mists of materials resembling mineral oils are breathed at
air concentrations exceeding recommended exposure levels. Excessive inhalation
can cause respiratory irritation, central nervous system effects including
dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headaches and possible unconsciousness. |
| Ingestion: |
The mixture has a low level of toxicity
(LD50 > 5g/kg). Small amounts of the liquid aspirated into the respiratory
system during ingestion or vomiting may cause pulmonary edema or
bronchopneumonia. Minimal toxicity. |
| Skin Contact: |
Possible slight to moderate redness may
occur with extended daily exposure. Not classified as a primary skin irritant or
corrosive. |
| Eye Contact: |
Possible transient irritation. Not classified as a
primary irritant. |
| Acute or Chronic Health Hazards: |
While expected to be non-irritating from the skin, eye and oral
testing done, as with all petroleum products, prolonged and repeated contact
with the skin could cause irritation and possible dermatitis. The synthetic oils
and additives could also be absorbed through abraded skin, but the information
from dermal toxicity tests suggest that no acute systemic effects would be
expected in healthy individuals. |
| Emergency and First Aid Procedures: |
Follow good industrial hygiene practices. If splashed in the
eyes, flush with water immediately for15 minutes. If spilled on clothing, remove
soiled clothing and wash skin with soap and water. Launder all contaminated
clothing before reuse. If swallowed. DO NOT induce vomiting. If conscious, drink
large quantities of water and seek immediate medical attention. If inhaled, move
to fresh air. Anesthetic or narcotic effects could occur from overexposure to
vapours, so call a physician. If available, give oxygen. If breathing stops,
give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. |
| NOTE: |
This material is not known to contain any carcinogen required to
be listed under the hazard Communication Standard 29CFR 1910.1200 from
the National Toxicology Program (NTP) or the International Agency for
Research on Cancer (ARC) sources.

7. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING & USE
|
| Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or
Spilled: For small spills, vacuum into waste containers or absorb with dry
sand or absorbent cloth. For large spills immediately evacuate the area and shut
off potential ignition sources. Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory
and skin/eye protection should be permitted in the area. Dike the area to
contain the spill. Take precautions as necessary to prevent contamination of
ground or surface waters. Recover with a wet vacuum or absorb spilled material
in sawdust or vermicultie and sweep into closed containers for disposal. After
all visible traces have been removed, thoroughly wet vacuum area again.
DO
NOT FLUSH INTO SEWER. |
Waste Disposal: Recovered liquids may be reprocessed, or incinerated, or
treated in a permitted hazardous waste management facility. Care must be taken
when using or disposing of chemical materials and/or their containers to prevent
environmental contamination. Dispose of chemical materials and/or their
containers in accordance with the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as well as any other Federal, State, or
local laws and regulations regarding disposal.
Precautions To Be Taken In Storage & Handling:
Do not store above 120°F.
Do not use around opened flames. Maintain adequate ventilation and keep from
children. Note that some vapours are heavier than air and can displace air in
low areas or confined spaces such as pits or tanks. Do not enter those areas
where large quantities of vapours are suspected or collecting until exchanging
the air or using special breathing apparatus with an observer present for
possible assistance.

8. PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
|
| Respiratory Protection/Ventilation: |
Not required for normal work situations where adequate
ventilation is provided (see next section). Use NIOSH approved self-contained
positive pressure respirators for emergencies and in situations where air may be
displaced by vapours or in confined areas with low air exchange rates. Follow
OSHA Std. 29CFR 1910.134. |
| Ventilation: |
No special requirements. Use local exhaust at filling zones and
where leakage is probable. Use mechanical ventilation for storage areas. For
general dilution or local exhaust maintain adequate air exchange to avoid vapour
build-up. All ventilation should be designed in accordance with OSHA Std. 29CFR
1910.94. |
| Skin Protection: |
Polyethylene. Neoprene or PVC protective gloves if there is
prolonged and repeated contact with skin. |
| Eye Protection: |
For normal conditions, none is required. Where there is
reasonable probability of liquid contact, wear splash-proof goggles. Contact
lenses should not be worn under such conditions. |
| Other Protection Clothing: |
Safety shower and eye-wash fountain in manufacturing areas.
Personal protective clothing and use of equipment must be in accordance with
29CFR 1910.132 and 29CFR 1910.133. |
| Work & Hygienic Practices: |
Do not smoke, eat or drink while using this product. Wash hands
with soap and water before smoking, eating, drinking or using toilet facilities.
Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. |
