3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION



    Potential Health Effects



    INHALATION: Negligible unless heated to produce vapors. Vapors or finely misted materials may irritate the

    mucous membranes and cause irritation, dizziness, and nausea. Remove to fresh air.



    EYE CONTACT: May cause irritation. Irrigate eye with water for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Seek medical

    attention if symptoms persist.



    SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged or repeated contact is not likely to cause significant skin irritation. Material is

    sometimes encountered at elevated temperatures. Thermal burns are possible.



    INGESTION: No hazards anticipated from ingestion incidental to industrial exposure.





4. FIRST AID MEASURES



    EYES: Irrigate eyes with a heavy stream of water for at least 15 to 20 minutes.



    SKIN: Wash exposed areas of the body with soap and water.



    INHALATION: Remove from area of exposure, seek medical attention if symptoms persist.



    INGESTION: Give one or two glasses of water to drink. If gastro-intestinal symptoms develop, consult

    medical personnel. (Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.)





5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

    FLASH POINT (Method Used): > 175°C (COC)

    FLAMMABILITY LIMITS: None known



    EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, foam, halon, CO2, water spray (fog). Water stream may splash

    burning liquid and spread fire.



    SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use water spray to cool drums exposed to fire.



    UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus

LUMULSE AET-4S                                                                                      6/28/04



  to avoid exposure to smoke and vapor.









6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES



  SPILL CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES: Remove sources of ignition, contain spill to smallest area possible. Stop

  leak if possible. Pick up small spills with absorbent materials such as paper towels, "Oil Dry", sand or dirt.

  Recover large spills for salvage or disposal. Wash hard surfaces with safety solvent or detergent to remove

  remaining oil film. Greasy nature will result in a slippery surface.





7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

  Store in closed containers between 50°F and 120°F. Keep away from oxidizing agents, excessive heat, and

  ignition sources. Store and use in well ventilated areas. Do not store or use near heat, spark, or flame; store out

  of sun. Do not puncture, drag, or slide this container. Drum is not a pressure vessel; never use pressure to

  empty.





8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION



  RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If vapors or mists are generated, wear a NIOSH approved organic

  vapor/mist respirator.



  PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Safety glasses, goggles, or face shield recommended to protect eyes from mists

  or splashing. PVC coated gloves recommended to prevent skin contact.



  OTHER PROTECTIVE MEASURES: Employees must practice good personal hygiene, washing exposed

  areas of skin several times daily and laundering contaminated clothing before re-use.
