SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance & Odor: Brown semi-solid. Slight odor.
Health Hazards: No known immediate health hazards. High-pressure injection under the skin may cause
serious damage.
Physical Hazards: No known physical hazards.
NFPA Rating (Health, Fire, Reactivity): 0, 1, 0
Hazard Rating:Least - 0 Slight - 1 Moderate - 2 High - 3 Extreme - 4
Inhalation:
Inhalation of vapors (generated at high temperatures only) or oil mist may cause mild irritation of the nose, throat,
and respiratory tract.
Eye Irritation:
Lubricating greases are generally considered no more than minimally irritating to the eyes.
Skin Contact:
Other adverse effects not expected from brief skin contact. May cause slight irritation of the skin. If irritation
occurs, a temporary burning sensation and minor redness and/or swelling may result. Release of the material
during high-pressure applications may result in injection under the skin causing possible extensive tissue damage
which is difficult to heal.
Ingestion:
Lubricating greases are generally no more than slightly toxic if swallowed.
Signs and Symptoms:
Irritation as noted above. Local necrosis is evidenced by delayed onset of pain and tissue damage a few hours

following injection.
Aggravated Medical Conditions:
Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product.
For additional health information, refer to section 11.
SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Get medical attention.
Skin:
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes and wipe excess from skin. Flush skin with water, then wash with
soap and water. If irritation occurs, get medical attention. Do not reuse clothing until cleaned. Wipe off excess
material from exposed area. If material is injected under the skin, transport to the nearest medical facility for
additional treatment.
Eye:
Flush with water. If irritation occurs, get medical attention.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. In general, no treatment is necessary unless large quantities of product are ingested.
However, get medical attention.
Note to Physician:
In general, emesis induction is unnecessary in high viscosity, low volatility products such as oils and greases.
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point [Method]: >500 潞F/>260 潞C [ Pensky-Martens Closed Cup]
Extinguishing Media:
Material will float and can be re-ignited on surface of water. Use water fog, 'alcohol foam', dry chemical or
carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames. Do not use a direct stream of water. Do not use a direct stream of
water.
Fire Fighting Instructions:
Material will not burn unless preheated. Do not enter confined fire space without full bunker gear (helmet with
face shield, bunker coats, gloves and rubber boots), including a positive pressure, NIOSH approved, self-
contained breathing apparatus.
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Protective Measures:
May burn although not readily ignitable.
Spill Management:
Scoop up excess grease. Clean area with appropriate cleaner.
Reporting:
CERCLA: Product is covered by EPA's Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) petroleum exclusion. Releases to air, land, or water are not reportable under CERCLA
(Superfund).

CWA: This product is an oil as defined under Section 311 of EPA's Clean Water Act (CWA). Spills into or leading
to surface waters that cause a sheen must be reported to the National Response Center, 1-800-424-8802.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautionary Measures:
Avoid heat, open flames, including pilot lights, and strong oxidizing agents. Use explosion-proof ventilation to
prevent vapor accumulation. Ground all handling equipment to prevent sparking.
Handling:
Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics, or using toilet. Launder
contaminated clothing before reuse. Properly dispose of contaminated leather articles such as shoes or belts that
cannot be decontaminated. Contaminated leather articles including shoes cannot be decontaminated and should
be destroyed to prevent reuse.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation. Keep away from open flames and high temperatures.
Container Warnings:
Keep containers closed when not in use. Containers, even those that have been emptied, can contain explosive
vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld or perform similar operations on or near containers.
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Controls
No exposure controls are ordinarily required under normal conditions of use. It is good general industrial hygiene
practice to minimize exposure to the material.
Personal Protection
Personal protective equipment (PPE) selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as handling
practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of eye, skin and respiratory protection for
use with this material is provided below.
Eye Protection:
Safety glasses with side shields
Skin Protection:
Use protective clothing which is chemically resistant to this material. Selection of protective clothing depends on
potential exposure conditions and may include gloves, boots, suits and other items. The selection(s) should take
into account such factors as job task, type of exposure and durability requirements.
Published literature, test data and/or glove and clothing manufacturers indicate the best protection is provided by:
Neoprene, or Nitrile Rubber
Respiratory Protection:
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker
health, an approved respirator must be worn. Respirator selection, use and maintenance should be in
accordance with the requirements of the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard, 29 CFR 1910.134.
Types of respirator(s) to be considered in the selection process include:
For Vapors: Air Purifying, R or P style prefilter & organic cartridge, NIOSH approved respirator. Self-
contained breathing apparatus for use in environments with unknown concentrations or emergency
situations.
