Section 3 - Health Hazard Data
HEALTH EFFECTS - (Acute and Chronic):
Petroleum hydrocarbons and synthetic lubricants pose potential human health risks which vary between
individuals. As a precaution, exposure to liquids, vapors, mists or fumes should be minimized.
Inhalation: Headache, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, nasal and respiratory irritation can result from excessive
exposure. Greater than 1000 ppm, anesthesia, central nervous system effects, drowsiness,
unconsciousness and even death.

Section 3 - Health Hazard Data (continued)
HEALTH EFFECTS - (Acute and Chronic):
Ingestion: Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Eyes: Can cause irritation, redness, tearing, possibly tissue damage.
Skin: Can cause irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact can remove skin oils and cause dermatitis.
Chronic: Prolonged overexposure has not been evaluated. Health studies have shown that many petroleum
hydrocarbons pose potential health risks which may vary from person to person. As a precaution,
exposure to liquids, vapors, mists or fumes should be minimized.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY Inhalation, Skin contact
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Persons with chronic respiratory disease may show increased symptoms due to irritation. Skin contact may
aggravate an existing dermatitis condition.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water for 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids occasionally, until irritation
subsides. Get medical attention, if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: If discharged onto skin or clothes, wash skin with soap and water. Remove and launder
contaminated clothing before reuse. If injected under the skin, get evaluation by a Doctor as a
surgical emergency.
Inhalation: If overcome by vapor, get to fresh air and call a Doctor immediately. Keep patient warm and
quiet. If breathing is irregular of has stopped, start artificial respiration, administer oxygen if
available. Get Medical Help at once.
Ingestion: Unlikely route of entry. However, if ingested DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Aspiration into lungs
can cause mild to severe pulmonary injury, possibly progressing to death.
Get Medical Help at once.

Flash Point (Method Used)................. 104掳 F (TCC) Flammable Limits : LEL = 1.2 % UEL = 9.3 %
COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID AND VAPOR
Extinguishing Media Carbon dioxide, alcohol foam, dry chemical, water fog/spray, vaporizing liquid type agents.
Using water to cool exposed containers may be useful.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures At elevated temperatures (over 130掳 F) aerosol containers may burst, vent or
rupture. Use equipment or shielding to protect personnel against bursting, rupturing or venting containers. Cooling
with water streams may be helpful.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards Firefighters should wear self-contained, positive-pressure breathing
apparatus, with full facepiece - See decomposition products.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid) Strong oxidizing agents and strong reducing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, aldehydes, and other toxic materials would be expected.
Will Hazardous Polymerization Occur? No
Conditions to Avoid for Polymerization: N/A
Is the Product Stable? Yes
Conditions to Avoid for Stability Avoid heat sufficient to burst can and spraying near flame, around sparks,
onto red hot surfaces, or other sources of ignition including sources of static electricity. Avoid strong oxidants such
as liquid chlorine, concentrated oxygen, and hypochlorites,
Section 6 - Spill or Leak Procedures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled
Remove sources of ignition such as heat, sparks, pilot lights, static electricity, and open flames. Ventilate
area. Use protective equipment consistent with the situation. The liquid is volatile and gives off invisible
vapors. Liquid and vapor will settle in low areas or travel some distance along the ground to ignition sources.
Add sand, earth or other suitable absorbent to spill area. Advise authorities if product can or has entered
sewers.
Waste Disposal Methods
Place spilled material along with cleaning items into metal, closed, containers for proper disposal. Consult
Federal, State or Local regulations.
Do not puncture or incinerate containers. Do not attempt to refill or clean containers since residue is difficult to
remove. Give empty, leaking or full containers to a disposal service equipped to safely handle and dispose of
pressurized containers.
EMPTY CONTAINER WARNING: Empty containers retain residue and can be dangerous. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose such container to heat, flame, sparks, static
electricity, or other sources of ignition; they can explode and cause injury or death.

Section 7 - Exposure Control Information
Ventilation General ventilation, local exhaust, or mechanical or special ventilation to maintain product and its
components below their exposure limits. Do not allow smoking, open flames or other ignition sources.
Respiratory Protection Generally not required if adequate ventilation is provided. If the exposure limit of the
product or any of its components is exceeded in confined or enclosed spaces, use a supplied 鈥揳ir respiratory
protection. Otherwise, use an approved organic vapor and mist mask (consult your safety equipment supplier).
Protective Gloves Wear solvent-resistant gloves such as Neoprene, Viton, Polyvinyl Alcohol, or equivalent where
prolonged or repeated contact with the spray mist or deposited product is likely.
Other Protective Equipment As required by your employer. If contact with the spray is likely, eye protection is
required. Goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a face shield will provide protection in most situations.
Other Engineering Controls
To determine exposure levels, monitoring should be performed. Eyewash station should be available.
Work Practices Keep container closed when not in use. Do not store near heat, sparks, flame or strong oxidants.
Prevent Static Electricity caused explosions and fires by effectively bonding and grounding product transfer system.
Perform in accordance with Local Authority or NFPA regulations. Do not use in confined or closed space.
Ventilation should maintain the concentration of the product and its components below the exposure limits.
Hygienic Practices Avoid contact with skin and avoid breathing vapors. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area.
Wash hands prior to eating, drinking or using restroom after using this or any chemical product.
Meets USDA requirements for H-1 and FDA 21 CFR 172.884, 174.3650 and others.
Section 8 - Special Precautions
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage
Store in cool, dry area out of direct sunlight. Do not puncture or incinerate (burn) or heat above 130掳F either
full or empty containers. Give empty, leaking or full containers to a disposal service equipped to handle and
dispose of pressurized containers.
Maintenance Precautions Do not remove or deface label.
Other Precautions Read and follow directions and cautions on the container label, and any accompanying
literature.
Additional Comments Because spraying may produce fine droplets that can easily be ignited, use caution and
remove sources of ignition from the area of use.
CAUTION Intentional misuse of this chemical product, as with any industrial chemical in contact with the body, can be
harmful or fatal. This includes such things as deliberately breathing, placing in mouth, swallowing, placing on skin, or
any other body contact, or repeated, or continuous contact.
