2b. ACUTE TOXICITY DATA

 
Acute Oral: Not Available
Acute Dermal: Not Available
Acute Inhalation: Not Available
 

3. HEALTH INFORMATION

 
Eye contact: Based on component information, product is presumed to be practically non- irritating to the eyes.
Skin contact: Based on component information, product is presumed to be practically non- irritating to the skin. Prolonged and repeated contact may result in skin disorders such as dermatitis, oil acne or folliculitis. Accidental release under high pressure applications may result in injection of oil into the skin causing local necrosis.
Inhalation: The inhalation of vapours (generated at high temperatures only) or oil mist may cause a mild irritation of themucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Ingestion of product may result in vomiting, aspiration (breathing) of vomitus into the lungs must be avoided as even small quantities may result in aspiration pneumonitis.
Signs and Symptoms: Irritation as noted above. Local necrosis may be evidenced by delayed onset of pain and tissue damage a few hours following high pressure injection.
Aggravated medical conditions: Pre-existing skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product.
 

4. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS

 
OSHA
-PEL/TWA:
-PEL/Ceiling:

-5 mg/m3
None
ACGIH
-TLV/TWA
-TLV/STEL

-5 mg/m3
10 mg/m3 (oil mist, mineral)
 

5. EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES

 
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water. If irritation occurs, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing/shoes, wipe excess from skin with water. Follow by washing with soap and water. If irritation occurs, seek medical attention. If material is injected under the skin, seek medical attention promptly to prevent serious damage. Do not wait for symptoms to develop.
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into the lungs. Seek medical attention. Note to physician: If more than 2.0 ml per kg has been ingested and vomiting has not occurred, emesis should be induced with supervision. Keep victim's head below hips to prevent aspiration. If symptoms such as loss of gag reflex, convulsions or unconsciousness occur before emesis, gastric lavage using a cuffed endotracheal tube should be considered.

8. FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS

 
Flash Point (PMCC): 300° F.
Flammable Limits: Not Available
Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or CO2. Do not use a direct stream of water. Product will float and can be reiginted on surface of water.
Special Firefighting
Procedures:
Materials will not burn unless preheated. Do not enter confined fire space without full bunker gear (helmet with face shield, bunker coats, gloves and rubber boots), including a positive pressure NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool fire exposed containers with water.
 

9. REACTIVITY DATA

 
Stability: Stable
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
Incompatibility: Avoid heat, open flames, and oxidizing materials
Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition products are highly dependent on the combustion conditions. A complex mixture of airborne solid, liquid, particulates and gases will evolve when this material undergoes pyrolysis or combustion. Carbon monoxide and other unidentified organic compounds may be formed upon combustion.
 

10. HEALTH HAZARD DATA

 
Respiratory Protection: If exposure may or does exceed occupational exposure limits (Sec. 4) use a NIOSH-approved respirator to prevent overexposure. In accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134 use either an atmosphere-supplying respirator or an air-purifying respirator for organic vapours and particulates.
Protective Clothing: Wear chemical resistant gloves and other protective clothing as required to minimize skin contact. No special eye protection is routinely necessary. Test data from published literature and/or glove and clothing manufacturers indicate the best protection is provided by Nitrile gloves.
 

11. ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS

 
Spill or Leak Procedures: May burn although not readily ignitable. Use cautious judgment when cleaning up large spills. For large spills wear respirator and protective clothing as appropriate. Shut off source of leak if safe to do so. Dike and contain. Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage/salvage vessels. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material. Dispose of properly. Flush area with water to remove trace residue. For small spills take up with an absorbent material and dispose of properly.
 

12. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

 
Skin Contact: Minimize skin contact. Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Properly dispose of contaminated leather articles including shoes that cannot be decontaminated. Store in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation. Keep away from open flames and high temperatures.
 

13. TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS

 
Not hazardous by D.O.T. regulations
 

14. OTHER REGULATORY CONTROLS

 
The components of this product are listed on the EPA/TSCA inventory of chemical substances in accordance with SARA Title III. The EDS should always be copied and sent with the MSDS.
