Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Isolate spill area. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protection. Recover free product
for recycle and/or disposal. Add sand, earth or other suitable absorbent to spill area. Prevent entry into sewers
and waterways. Check under Transportation and Labeling (DOT/CERCLA) and Other Regulator Information
Section (SARA) for hazardous substances to determine regulatory reporting requirements for spill.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
HANDLING: Do not puncture or incinerate can. Do not stick pin, nail or other sharp object into opening on top
of can. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash hands after handling. Empty container
may retain product residue, which may exhibit hazards of product.
STORAGE: Store and use in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas. Keep away from heat or flame.
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
VENTILATION: Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below
exposure limits.
RESPIRATORY: Use a NIOSH approved respirator when necessary.
SKIN: Use Viton or Nitrile gloves to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.
EYE: Use splash goggles or face shield where splashing is expected or can occur.

Section 10: Stability and Reactivity
STABILITY: Stable. Avoid open flame and high temperatures.
INCOMPATIBILITY: Avoid contact with strong oxidizers, concentrated oxygen, sodium hypochlorite or
calcium hypochlorite.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OF PRODUCT: May produce fumes when heated to decomposition.

Section 11: Toxicological Information
ACUTE EXPOSURE
Eye Irritation: Moderate to strong eye irritation. Based on data from components or similar
material.
Skin Irritation: Not expected to be a primary skin irritant. Based on data from components or
similar material. Prolonged or repeated skin contact as from clothing wet with
material may cause dermatitis. Symptoms may include redness, edema, drying,
defatting, and cracking of the skin.
Respiratory Irritation: If material is misted or if vapors are generated from heating, exposure may cause
irritation of mucous membranes and the upper respiratory tract similar to that
observed with mineral oil. Based on data from components or similar materials.
Under good industrial hygiene practices where all exposure limits are observed,
respiratory irritation should not be a problem.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE
Chronic Toxicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% are chronic
health hazards.
Carcinogenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 0.1% are a
carcinogenic hazard.
Mutagenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a
mutagenic or genotoxic hazard.
Reproductive Toxicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a
reproductive hazard.
Teratogenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a
teratogenic hazards.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Exposure Limits: Under conditions, which may generate mists, observe the OSHA PEL of 5 mg per
cubic meter, ACGIH STEL of 10 mg per cubic meter.
There are extensive toxicological data available on the various components of this product. An adequate
representation of all these data is beyond the scope of this document. Please contact the AMSOIL Material
Safety Data Sheet Coordinator for more details.
