3. HEALTH INFORMATION

 
The health effects noted below are consistent with requirements under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
 
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 the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Based on component information, product is no more than slightly toxic if swallowed.
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.
Other Health Effects: This product and its components are not classified as carcinogens by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), National Toxicology Program (NTP) or Occupational Safety and Health administration (OSHA).
 

4. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS

 
OSHA
-PEL/TWA:
-PEL/Ceiling:

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

*5 mg/m3
*10 mg/m3
OTHER None
*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. In general, no treatment is necessary unless large quantities of product are ingested. However, get medical advice. Note to physician: In general, emesis induction is unnecessary in high viscosity, low volatility products, i.e., most oils and greases..

Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or CO2. Do not use a direct stream of water. Product will float and can be re-ignited 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
Conditions to Avoid: 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. EMPLOYEE PROTECTION

 
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.
