The product, as with many petroleum products, may cause minor
skin, eye, and lung irritation, but good hygienic practices can
minimize these effects.
999-10498-0503
Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components present in this material at concentrations
equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or
ACGIH as a carcinogen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Call a physician.
Skin Contact
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation develops
and persists, consult a physician.
If injected under the skin, necrosis could occur. See physician.
Eye Contact
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
Ingestion
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately give 2 glasses
of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Call a physician.
Notes to Physicians
Activated charcoal mixture may be administered. To prepare
activated charcoal mixture, suspend 50 grams activated charcoal in
400 mL water and mix thoroughly. Administer 5 mL/kg, or 350 mL
for an average adult.
High velocity injection under the skin can cause a bloodless
puncture wound and result in necrosis. Immediate attention by a
surgical specialist is recommended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flammable Properties
Flash Point (Base Oil) : 550 F (288 C)
Method : Cleveland Open Cup - COC.
Autoignition : Not Available
NFPA Rating : Health 0 Flammability 1; Reactivity 0
Extinguishing Media
Water Spray, Foam, Dry Chemical, CO2.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Water or foam may cause frothing. Use water to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. Water may be used to flush spills away from
exposures.
Products of combustion may contain carbon monoxide, carbon
dioxide, and other toxic materials. Do not enter enclosed or
confined space without proper protective equipment including
respiratory protection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safeguards (Personnel)
NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL)
sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.
Spill Clean Up
Recover undamaged and minimally contaminated material for reuse
and reclamation. Soak up with sawdust, sand, oil dry or other
absorbent material. Shovel or sweep up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Handling (Personnel)
Avoid breathing vapors or mist. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid
prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Wash contaminated clothing prior to reuse.
Handling (Physical Aspects)
Close container after each use. Do not pressurize, cut, weld,
braze, solder, grind, or drill on or near full or empty container.
Empty container retains residue (liquid and/or vapor) and may
explode in heat of a fire.
Storage
Store in accordance with National Fire Protection Association
recommendations. Store away from oxidizers, heat, sparks and
flames.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Controls
VENTILATION
Normal shop ventilation.
Personal Protective Equipment
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
None normally required except under unusual circumstances such as
described under Fire Fighting Measures.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Should be worn when the potential exists for prolonged or
repeated skin contact. Nitrile recommended
EYE PROTECTION
Safety glasses with side shields.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Avoid prolonged skin contact by practicing good personal hygiene
and laundering contaminated clothing.
Exposure Limits
OSHA PEL : None Established
ACGIH TLV : None Established

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chemical Stability
Stable.
Conditions to Avoid
Heat, sparks, and flames.
Incompatibility with Other Materials
Incompatible or can react with strong oxidizers.
Decomposition
Incomplete combustion may produce carbon monoxide; combustion may
form oxides of carbon and sulfur.
Polymerization
Polymerization will not occur.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Animal Data
Mouse skin painting studies have shown that highly refined
petroleum lube base oils similar to ingredients in this product
have not caused skin tumors.
Animal skin exposure studies show high concentrations of zinc
organic phosphates cause testicular atrophy, but this effect
appears related to stress from the chemical causing severe skin
irritation. Low concentrations of the zinc component, as occurs
in lubricant products, would be unlikely to cause testicular damage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ecotoxicological Information
No specific aquatic data available for this product.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waste Disposal
Treatment, storage, transportation, and disposal must be in
accordance with applicable Federal, State/Provincial, and Local
regulations. Do not flush to surface water or sanitary sewer
system.
Container Disposal
Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged, and
promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioner. All
other containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe
manner.
