3. PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY AND EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye Contact: If splashed into the eyes, flush with clear water for 15 min. or until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, call a physician.
Skin: In case of skin contact, remove any contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. Launder or dry-clean clothing before
reuse. If product is injected into or under the skin, or into any part of the body, regardless of the appearance of the wound or its size, the in-
dividual should be evaluated immediately by a physician as a surgical emergency. Even though initial symptoms from high pressure injec-
tion may be minimal or absent, early surgical treatment within the first few hours may significantly reduce the ultimate extent of injury.
Inhalation: If overcome by vapor, remove from exposure and call a physician immediately. If breathing is irregular or has stopped, start
resuscitation, administer oxygen, if available.
Ingestion: If ingested, DO NOT induce vomiting; call a physician immediately.
4. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD INFORMATION
Flash Point (Min.): Combustible per DOT 49 CFR 173.120; 80.5掳C (177掳F); ASTM D 93, Pensky Martens Closed Cup
Autoignition Temperature: Approximately 338掳C (640掳F); ASTM D 2155
National Fire Protection Assoc.(NFPA)-Hazard Identification: Health 1; Flammability 2; Reactivity 0; BASIS recommended by
Exxon
Handling Precautions: This liquid is volitle and gives off invisible vapors. Either the liquid or vapor may settle in low areas or travel
some distance along the ground or surface to ignition sources where they may ignite or explode. Keep product away from ignition
sources, such as heat, sparks, pilot lights, static electricity, and open flames.
Flammable or Explosive Limits(approx.% by vol in air): Estimated Values: Lower Flammable Limit 1.3%
Upper Flammable Limit 8.8%
Extinguishing Media and Firefighting Procedures: Foam, water spray(fog), dry chemical, carbon dioxide and vaporizing liquid type
extinguishing agents may all be suitable for extinguishing fires involving this type of product, depending on size or potential size of fire
and circumstances related to the situation. Plan fire protection and response strategy through consultation with local fire protection au-
thorities or appropriate specialists.
The following procedures for this type of product are based on the recommendations in the National Fire Protection Association's 鈥淔ire
Protection Guide to Hazardous Materials.鈥? Tenth Edition (1991):
Use dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide to extinguish fire. 鈥淲ater may be ineffective,鈥? by water should be used to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. If a leak or spill has ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors and to protect persons attempting to stop a leak. Water
spray may be used to flush spills away from exposures. Minimize breathing of gases, vapor, fumes or decomposition products. Use sup-
plied-air breathing equipment for enclosed or confined spaces or as otherwise needed.
NOTE: The inclusion of the phrase 鈥渨ater may be ineffective鈥? is to indicate that although water can be used to cool and protect exposed
material, water may not extinguish the fire unless used under favorable conditions by experienced fire fighters trained in fighting all types
of flammable liquid fires. 漏 1999 Goodson Shop Supplies
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD INFORMATION CONT...
Decomposition Products under Fire Conditions: Fumes, smoke, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, aldehydes and other decomposi-
tion products, in case of incomplete combustion.
"Empty" Container Warning: "Empty" containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. DO NOT PRESSUR-
IZE, CUT WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS, STATIC
ELECTRICITY, OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION: THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. Do not attempt
to clean since residue is difficult to remove. "Empty" drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to a
drum reconditioner. All other containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental
regulations. For work on tanks refer to Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations, ANSI Z49.1, and other governmental
and industrial references pertaining to cleaning, repairing, welding, or other contemplated operations.
5. HEALTH AND HAZARD INFORMATION
Variability Among Individuals: Health studies have shown that many petroleum hydrocarbons and synthetic lubricants pose poten-
tial human health risks which may vary from person to person. As a precaution, exposure to liquids, vapors mists or fumes should be
minimized.
Effects of Overexposure (Signs & Symptoms of exposure): High vapor concentrations (greater than approx. 700 ppm, attainable at
elevated temperatures well above ambient) are irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract, and may cause headaches, dizziness, anes-
thesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness and other central nervous system effects, including death.
Nature of Hazard & Toxicity Information: Prolonged or repeated skin contact with this product tends to remove skin oil, possibly
leading to irritation and dermatitis; however, based on human experience and available toxicological data, this product is judged to be
neither a "corrosive" nor an "irritant" by OSHA criteria.
Product contacting the eyes may cause eye irritation. Product has a low order of acute oral and dermal toxicity, but minute amounts aspi-
rated into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury and possibly death. This product is judged
to have an acute oral LD50 (rat) greater than 5 g/kg of body weight, and an acute dermal LD50 (rabbit) greater than 3.16 g/kg of body
weight.
Pre-existing Medical Conditions which may be aggravated by exposure: Petroleum Solvents/Petroleum Hydrocarbons - Skin
contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis.

9. PROTECTION AND PRECAUTIONS
Ventilation: Use only with ventilation sufficient to prevent exceeding recommended exposure limit or buildup of explosive concentra-
tion of vapor in air. No smoking, or use of flame or other ignition sources.
Respiratory Protection: Use supplied-air respiratory protection in confined or enclosed spaces, if needed.
Protective Gloves: Use chemical-resistant gloves, if needed, to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use splash goggles or face shield when eye contact may occur.
Other Protective Equipment: Use chemical-resistant apron or other impervious clothing, if needed, to avoid contaminating regular
clothing, which could result in prolonged or repeated skin contact.
Work Practices / Engineering Controls: Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not store near heat, sparks, flame or strong oxi-
dants. To prevent fire or explosion risk from static accumulation and discharge, effectively ground product transfer system in accordance
with the National Fire Protection Association standard for petroleum products. In order to prevent fire or explosion hazards, use appropri-
ate equipment. Information on electrical equipment appropriate for use with this product may be found in the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code (NFPA-70). This document is available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, Mass, 02269
Personal Hygiene: Minimize breathing vapor or mist. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Remove contaminated clothing;
lauder or dry-clean before re-use. Cleanse skin thoroughly after contact, before breaks and meals, and at end of work period. Product is
readily removed from skin by waterless hand cleaners followed by washing thoroughly with soap and water.
