2. COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

 
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT A WHMIS CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE.
See Section 8 for Occupational Exposure Guidelines.
 

3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

 
Physical Description: Liquid, lightly coloured, Hydrocarbon Odour
Routes of Exposure: Exposure will most likely occur through skin contact or from inhalation of mechanically or thermally generated oil mists.
Hazards: This product is not expected to be irritating and has a low level of toxicity under normal use.
Inhalation of oil mist or vapours from hot oil may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract.
For further information on health effects, see Section 11.
 

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

 
Eyes: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. If irritation
occurs and persists, obtain medical attention.
Skin: Wipe excess from skin. Wash contaminated skin with mild soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and persists, obtain medical attention. If material is injected under the skin, get medical attention promptly to prevent serious damage; do not wait for symptoms to develop
Inhalation: Remove victim from further exposure. Additional first aid treatment is not ordinarily
required.
Ingestion: Not normally required; obtain medical attention if large amounts have been ingested. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into the lungs.
Notes to Physician:: In general, lubricating oils have low oral toxicity. High pressure injection under the skin may have serious consequences and may require urgent treatment.
 

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

 
Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical, Carbon Dioxide, Foam, Water Fog
Firefighting Instructions: Caution, spilled material is slippery. Material will not burn unless preheated. Product will float and can be reignited on surface of water. Do not use a direct stream of water as it may spread fire. Use water to cool fire exposed containers. Water may be used to flush spills away from exposure. Do not enter confined fire space without adequate protective clothing and an approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and unidentified organic compounds may be
formed upon combustion.
 

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

 
Isolate hazard area and restrict access. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wear appropriate breathing apparatus (if applicable) and protective clothing. Stop leak only if safe to do so. Spilled material is slippery. Dike and contain land spills; contain spills to water by booming. For large spills remove by mechanical means and place in containers. Adsorb residue or small spills with adsorbent material and remove to nonleaking containers for disposal. Notify appropriate environmental agency(ies). After area has been cleaned up to the satisfaction of regulatory authorities, flush area with water to remove trace residue. Dispose of recovered material as noted under Disposal Considerations.
 

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

 
Handling: Avoid excessive heat, formation of oil mist, breathing of vapours and mist of hot oil and prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wash with soap and water prior to eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics or using toilet facilities. Launder contaminated clothing prior to reuse. Use good personal hygiene.
Storage:: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, away from heat and ignition sources.
 

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

 
The following information, while appropriate for this product, is general in nature. The selection of personal protective equipment will vary depending on the conditions of use.
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (Current ACGIH TLV/TWA unless otherwise noted):
North American exposure limits have not been established for the product. Consult local and provincial authorities for acceptable values.
  Oil mist (mineral): 5 mg/m3 (STEL: 10 mg/m3)
  Mechanical Ventilation: Not normally required. Local ventilation is recommended if oil mist is present or if exposure limit is exceeded. Make up air should always be supplied to balance air exhausted (either generally or locally).
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
  Eye Protection: No special eye protection is routinely necessary. Wear safety glasses as appropriate.
  Skin Protection: Not normally needed. Chemically-resistant gloves should be worn for frequent or prolonged contact with this product.
  Respiratory Protection: Not normally required under intended conditions of use. If airborne concentration is high (e.g. when product is heated), use a NIOSH-approved chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapour cartridges in combination with a P95 particulate filter

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

 
Routes of Exposure: Exposure will most likely occur through skin contact or from inhalation of mechanically or thermally generated oil mists.
Irritancy: This product is not a primary skin irritant after exposure of short duration, is not a skin sensitizer and is not irritating to the eyes.
Acute Toxicity: This product is not expected to be irritating and has a low level of toxicity under
normal use.
Chronic Effects: Long term intensive exposure to oil mist may cause benign lung fibrosis. Prolonged and repeated contact with skin can cause defatting and drying of the skin resulting in skin irritation and dermatitis.
 

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

 
Environmental Effects: The immediate effect of a release is the physical impairment of the environment from the coating of surfaces, resulting in the disruption of oxygen, water and light to flora and fauna. Do not allow product or runoff from fire control to enter storm or sanitary sewers, lakes, rivers, streams, or public waterways. Block off drains and ditches. Provincial regulations require and federal regulations may require that environmental and/or other agencies be notified of a spill incident. Spill area must be cleaned and restored to original condition or to the satisfaction of authorities.
Biodegradability: Not readily biodegradable.
 

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

 
Waste management priorities (depending on volumes and concentration of waste) are: 1. recycle (reprocess), 2.
energy recovery 3. incineration, 4. disposal at a licenced waste disposal facility. Do not attempt to combust waste
