partially full, or empty product containers.
EXTINGUISHER INFORMATION: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water fog.
Use water to cool fire-exposed containers and to protect personnel.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Water or foam may cause frothing if the product is heated above
93 degrees C (200 degrees F).
Upon decomposition, this product emits carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and/or
low molecular weight hydrocarbons.
=============================== REACTIVITY DATA ===============================
This is a stable material.
This product may react with oxidizing agents.
Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
============================= PREVENTIVE MEASURES =============================
=(A)====================== SAFE HANDLING AND STORAGE ==========================

=(C)===================== SPILLS, LEAKS AND DISPOSAL ==========================
Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up.
Do not allow this material to drain into sewers/water supplies.
Thoroughly wash the area after a spill or leak clean-up.
Eliminate all sources of ignition or flammables that may come into contact
with a spill of this material.
Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk.
Ventilate the contaminated area.
Remove soiled clothing and launder before reuse.
Avoid excessive skin contact with the spilled material.
Dike the spilled material, where this is possible.
Dispose of waste material according to Local, State, Federal, and
Provincial Environmental Regulation.
Small Spills: (1) Wipe or mop up; (2) take up with sand or other
non-combustible absorbant material.
============================= FIRST AID TREATMENT =============================
In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek
medical advice.
If the material is swallowed, get immediate medical attention or advice --
Do not induce vomiting.
For skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water.
If irritation persists, get medical attention.
If inhalation of gas/fume/vapor/dust/mist from the material is excessive (air
concentration is greater than the TLV or health effects are noticed),
immediatly remove the affected person(s) to fresh air.
============================= NOTES TO PHYSICIANS =============================
If the affected person is not breathing, apply artificial respiration.
If the affected person's breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
This material, if aspirated into the lungs, may cause chemical pneumonitis;
treat the affected person appropriately.
=============================== SPECIAL REMARKS ===============================
In some laboratory animal studies ZINC DIALKYL DITHIOPHOSPHATE compounds are
suspect of mutagenic effects.
HEATING: This product contains Zinc Dialkyldithiophosphata (ZDDP) and should
not be heated above 70 degrees C (160 degrees F). Higher temperatures can
result in thermal decomposition of the ZDDP and release highly toxic
hydrogen sulfide and, possibly, odourous alkyl mercaptans. Hydrogen sulfide
smells like rotten eggs in low concentrations but quickly fatigues the sense
of smell. It may cause respiratory irritation and failure without any
warning odor being sensed. Alkyl mercaptans can be smelled at extremely low
concentrations and vapours may travel for a long distance.
Animal testing data indicate that the reproductive effect (Testicular Atropy)
from exposure to ZINC DIALKYL DITHIOPHOSPHATE is a non-specific chemical
effect and is caused by stressing the animals due to severe skin irritation
and weight loss.
===================== ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION: ECOLOGY ======================
Material contains a chemical which is a Ford Motor Company Material of
Concern. Use and release of this material should be minimized to the
greatest extent possible.
Material contains a chemical which is a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP),
regulated by the United States Clean Air Act.
