Emergency Overview:
Signal Words: DANGER! COMBUSTIBLE
Health Flammability Reactivity
1 2 0
Hazardous Materials Identification (HMIS)

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
Potential Health Effects:
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, Skin, Ingestion, Eye
Variability Among Individuals: Health studies have shown that many petroleum hydrocarbons and synthetic
lubricants pose potential 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: High vapor concentrations (greater than approximately 1000 ppm) are irritating to
the eyes and respiratory tract, and may cause headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness, and
other central nervous system effects, including death.
Conditions Aggravated by Exposure Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Take precautions to ensure your own health and safety before attempting rescue and providing first aid.
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.
Eye: Thoroughly flush the eyes with large amounts of clean low-pressure water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. 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 individual should be evaluated by a physician as a surgical emergency.
Even though initial symptoms from high pressure injection may be minimal or absent, early surgical treatment within
the first few hours may significantly reduce the ultimate extent of injury.
Ingestion: If ingested, DO NOT induce vomiting; call a physician immediately.
5. FIRE FIGHTING
Flash Point: (odorless mineral spirits) 49掳C (120掳F) ASTM D 56, Tag Closed Cup
Autoignition Temperature: (odorless mineral spirits) Approximately 349掳C (660掳F) ASTM D2155
Flammable or Explosive Limits (Approximate percent by volume in air)
Lower Explosive Limit: (estimated value - odorless mineral spirits) 1.3%
Upper Explosive Limit: (estimated value - odorless mineral spirits) 9.8%
Extinguishing Media and Fire Fighting Procedures: Foam, water spray (fog), dry chemical carbon dioxide and
vaporizing liquid type fire 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 authorities or appropriate specialists.
The following procedures for this type of product are based on the recommendations in the National Fire Protection
Association鈥檚 鈥淔ire Protection Guide on Hazardous Materials鈥?, Tenth Edition (1991).
Use dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide to extinguish the fire. 鈥淲ater may be ineffective鈥?, but 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 supplied-air breathing equipment for
enclosed or confined spaces or as otherwise needed.
NOTE: The inclusion of the phrase 鈥淲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.
Decomposition: Fumes, smoke, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, aldehydes and other decomposition products,
in the case of incomplete combustion.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Clean Water Act / Oil Pollution Act: This product may be classified as an oil under Section 311 of the Clean
Water Act, and under the Oil Pollution Act. Discharge or spills into or leading to surface waters that cause a sheen
must be reported to the National Response Center (1-800-424-8802).

Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled: Shut off and eliminate all ignition sources. Keep
people away. Recover free product. Add sand, earth or other suitable absorbent to spill area. Minimize breathing
vapors. Minimize skin contact. Ventilate confined spaces. Open all windows and doors. Keep product out of sewers
and watercourses by diking or impounding. Advise authorities if product has entered or may enter sewers,
watercourses, or extensive land areas.
Assure conformity with applicable government regulations. Continue to observe precautions for volatile, combustible
vapors from absorbed materials.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Precautions: This liquid is volatile 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.
鈥淓mpty鈥? Container Warning: 鈥淓mpty鈥? containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous.
Do not pressurize, 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 refill or clean containers since residue is difficult to remove. All containers should be disposed of
in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with government regulations.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure limit for total product (odorless mineral spirits): 177 ppm based on total hydrocarbon for an 8-hour
workday.
Ventilation: Use only with ventilation sufficient to prevent exceeding recommended exposure limit or buildup of
explosive concentration 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 glove, 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: To prevent fire or explosion risk from static accumulation and discharge,
effectively bond and/or ground product transfer system in accordance with National Fire Protection publications.
Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not store near heat, sparks, flame or strong oxidants. To prevent fire and
explosion risk from static accumulation and discharge, effectively bond and/or ground product transfer system in
accordance with the National Fire Protections standard for petroleum products.
In order to prevent fire or explosion hazards, use appropriate 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, Massachusetts 02269.
Personal Hygiene: Minimize breathing vapor or mist. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Remove
contaminated clothing; launder or dry clean before re-use. Remove contaminated shoes and thoroughly clean and dry
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.
