4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye: If irritation or redness develops from exposure, flush eyes with clean water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Skin: Remove contaminated shoes and clothing and cleanse affected area(s) thoroughly by washing with mild soap and water or a
waterless hand cleaner. If irritation or redness develops and persists, seek medical attention.
Inhalation (Breathing): First aid is not normally required. If breathing difficulties develop, move victim away from source of exposure
and into fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion (Swallowing): First aid is not normally required; however, if swallowed and symptoms develop, seek medical attention.
Notes to Physician: Acute aspirations of large amounts of oil-laden material may produce a serious aspiration pneumonia. Patients
who aspirate these oils should be followed for the development of long-term sequelae. Inhalation exposure to oil mists below current
workplace exposure limits is unlikely to cause pulmonary abnormalities.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
NFPA 704 Hazard Class
Health: 0 Flammability: 1 Instability: 0 (0-Minimal, 1-Slight, 2-Moderate, 3-Serious, 4-Severe)
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: This material may burn, but will not ignite readily. If container is not properly cooled, it can
rupture in the heat of a fire.
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, or water spray is recommended. Water or foam may cause frothing of
materials heated above 212掳F. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in confined spaces.
Fire Fighting Instructions: For fires beyond the incipient stage, emergency responders in the immediate hazard area should wear
bunker gear. When the potential chemical hazard is unknown, in enclosed or confined spaces, or when explicitly required by DOT, a
self contained breathing apparatus should be worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions warrant (see
Section 8).
Isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done with minimal risk. Move
undamaged containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done with minimal risk. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or
dispersing vapors and to protect personnel. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done with minimal risk. Avoid
spreading burning liquid with water used for cooling purposes.
See Section 9 for Flammable Properties including Flash Point and Flammable (Explosive) Limits

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: This material may burn, but will not ignite readily. Keep all sources of ignition away from spill/release. The
use of explosion-proof electrical equipment is recommended. Stay upwind and away from spill/release. Notify persons down wind of the
spill/release, isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Wear appropriate protective equipment, including
respiratory protection, as conditions warrant (see Section 8). See Sections 2 and 7 for additional information on hazards and
precautionary measures.
Environmental Precautions: Stop spill/release if it can be done with minimal risk. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm
drains, other unauthorized drainage systems, and natural waterways. Use water sparingly to minimize environmental contamination
and reduce disposal requirements.
Spills into or upon navigable waters, the contiguous zone, or adjoining shorelines that cause a sheen or discoloration on the surface of
the water, may require notification of the National Response Center (phone number 800-424-8802).
Methods for Containment and Clean-Up: Notify fire authorities and appropriate federal, state, and local agencies. Immediate cleanup
of any spill is recommended. Dike far ahead of spill for later recovery or disposal. Absorb spill with inert material such as sand or
vermiculite, and place in suitable container for disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use good personal hygiene practices and wear appropriate personal
protective equipment.
Used motor oils have been shown to cause skin cancer in mice after repeated application to the skin without washing. Brief or
intermittent skin contact with used motor oil is not expected to cause harm if the oil is thoroughly removed by washing with soap and
water. Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks or pits without following proper entry procedures such as ASTM D-4276 and 29CFR
1910.146. Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes.
"Empty" containers retain residue and may be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such
containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. "Empty" drums should be
completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioner. All containers should be disposed
of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations. Before working on or in tanks which contain or
have contained this material, refer to OSHA regulations, ANSI Z49.1, and other references pertaining to cleaning, repairing, welding, or
other contemplated operations.
Conditions for safe storage: Keep container(s) tightly closed. Use and store this material in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from
heat and all sources of ignition. Store only in approved containers. Keep away from any incompatible material (see Section 10). Protect
container(s) against physical damage.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Component ACGIH OSHA Other:
5mg/m3 TWA 5 mg/m3 TWA
Synthetic Lubricant Base Oil ---
10 mg/m3 STEL as Oil Mist, if Generated
as Oil Mist, if Generated
Note: State, local or other agencies or advisory groups may have established more stringent limits. Consult an industrial
hygienist or similar professional, or your local agencies, for further information.
Engineering controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below the established
exposure limits, additional engineering controls may be required.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Eye/Face: The use of eye protection that meets or exceeds ANSI Z.87.1 is recommended to protect against potential eye
contact, irritation, or injury. Depending on conditions of use, a face shield may be necessary.
Skin: The use of gloves impervious to the specific material handled is advised to prevent skin contact. Users should check with
manufacturers to confirm the performance of their products. Suggested protective materials: Nitrile.

________________________________________________________________________________________________
Respiratory: Where there is potential for airborne exposure above the exposure limit a NIOSH certified air purifying respirator
equipped with R or P95 filters may be used.
A respiratory protection program that meets or is equivalent to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 should be followed
whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. Air purifying respirators provide limited protection and cannot be used
in atmospheres that exceed the maximum use concentration (MUC) as directed by regulation or the manufacturer's instructions,
in oxygen deficient (less than 19.5 percent oxygen) situations, or other conditions that are immediately dangerous to life and
health (IDLH).
Suggestions provided in this section for exposure control and specific types of protective equipment are based on readily
available information. Users should consult with the specific manufacturer to confirm the performance of their protective
equipment. Specific situations may require consultation with industrial hygiene, safety, or engineering professionals.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
The generator of a waste is always responsible for making proper hazardous waste determinations and needs to consider state and
local requirements in addition to federal regulations.
This material, if discarded as produced, would not be a federally regulated RCRA "listed" hazardous waste and is not believed to exhibit
characteristics of hazardous waste. See Sections 7 and 8 for information on handling, storage and personal protection and Section 9
for physical/chemical properties. It is possible that the material as produced contains constituents which are not required to be listed in
the MSDS but could affect the hazardous waste determination. Additionally, use which results in chemical or physical change of this
material could subject it to regulation as a hazardous waste.
This material under most intended uses would become "Used Oil" due to contamination by physical or chemical impurities. Whenever
possible, Recycle Used Oil in accordance with applicable federal and state or local regulations. Container contents should be
completely used and containers should be emptied prior to discard.
