PRODUCT USE
Drying oils are characterized by high levels of fatty acids One common measure of the
siccative (drying) property of oils is iodine number. Oils with an iodine number greater
than 130 are considered drying, those with an iodine number of 115- 130 are semi- drying
oils and those with an iodine number of less than 115 are non- drying oils The " drying" ,
" hardening" , or, more properly, " curing" of oils is the result of an exothermic
reaction in the form of autoxidation Oxygen attacks the hydrocarbon chain, touching off a
series of addition reactions. As a result, the oil, forms long, chain- like a vast polymer
network molecules, resulting in a vast polymer network. Over time, this network may
undergo further change. Certain functional groups in the networks become ionised and the
network transitions from a system held together by nonpolar covalent bonds to one governed
by the ionic forces between these functional groups and the metal ions present in the
paint pigment. In oil autoxidation, oxygen attacks a hydrocarbon chain, often at the site
of an allylic hydrogen (a hydrogen on a carbon atom adjacent to a double bond). This
produces, a free radical a substance with an unpaired electron which makes it highly
reactive. A series of addition reactions ensues. Each step produces additional free
radicals, which then engage in further polymerization. The process finally terminates when
free radicals collide, combining their unpaired electrons to form a new bond. The
polymerisation stage occurs over a period of days to weeks, and renders the film dry to
the touch. . Component of paints coatings varnishes, oil cloth, putty, printing inks, core

MATERIAL DATA
Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on
the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for these
irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborne
concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should be
protected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are established
using uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no
-observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human results
are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in
determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling
values (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLV
STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints
combine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five
-category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life.
However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU)
Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely
allied to that of the USA.
OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:
路 cause inflammation
路 cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents
路 lead to permanent injury or dysfunction
路 permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and
路 acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus
increasing the risk of overexposure.

TLV TWA: 10 mg/m3
ES TWA: 10 mg/m3
OSHA PEL TWA: 15 mg/m3, total particulate; 5 mg/m3, respirable particulate
The common vegetable oil mists are considered "nuisance" particulates which have little
adverse effect on the lung. They do not produce toxic effects or significant organic
disease when exposures are kept under reasonable control. Direct instillation of
vegetable oils into rabbit lungs produces acute bronchitis whilst high oral doses are
laxatives.

EYE
路 Safety glasses with side shields.
路 Chemical goggles.
路 Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET

Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of overexposure
exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate
protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas. Air
contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in
turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively
remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating 0.25- 0.5 m/s (50- 100 f/min)

3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood - local control only
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening
of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance
from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction
point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating
source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2
m/s (200-400 f/min.) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from
the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits
within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as
"harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or human
evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of the individual, following
ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (eg. liver, kidney) damage is evident.
Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses producing
mortality rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal
tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however,
ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
EYE
Although the liquid is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives),
direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterised by tearing or
conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
SKIN
Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under EC
Directives); the material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds,
lesions or abrasions.
There is some evidence to suggest that the material may cause moderate inflammation of
the skin either following direct contact or after a delay of some time. Repeated exposure
can cause contact dermatitis which is characterised by redness, swelling and blistering.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may
produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the
material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the
respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,
good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
control measures be used in an occupational setting.
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
Inhalation of oil droplets or aerosols may cause discomfort and may produce chemical
inflammation of the lungs.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following
repeated or long-term occupational exposure.
Based on experience with similar materials, there is a possibility that exposure to the
material may reduce fertility in humans at levels which do not cause other toxic effects.
Glyceryl triesters (triglycerides) undergo metabolism to become free fatty acids and
glycerol. Animal studies show that there is no toxicity when given by mouth unless the
material takes up a large proportion of energy intake.
Common side effects of treatment with HIV-I protease inhibitors (PI) include diarrhoea,
nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, weakness, fatigue and taste
disturbances. Renal stones are seen occasionally. Patients receiving highly active
antiretroviral therapy (HAART), generally a combination of reverse transcriptase
inhibitors and protease inhibitors frequently develop wasting of body fat but much
increased fatty acids and cholesterol in the bloods, thus predisposing to cardiovascular
disease. Disturbances in metabolism are also often seen. White and older persons seem to

be more affected than other groups. PI can also lead to diabetes, impaired glucose
tolerance (very commonly seen and a precursor to diabetes) or excessive production of
insulin.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.
TOXICITY IRRITATION
Skin (human):300 mg/3days- Moderate
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may
produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and
thickening of the skin.
Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
During the drying process, a number of compounds are produced that do not contribute to
the polymer network. These include unstable hydroperoxide (ROOH) the major by-product of
the reaction of oxygen with unsaturated fatty acids. The hydroperoxides quickly decompose
, forming carbon dioxide and water, as well as a variety of aldehydes, acids and
hydrocarbons. Many of these compounds are volatile, and in an unpigmented oil, they would
be quickly lost to the environment. However, in paints, such volatiles may react with
lead, zinc, copper or iron compounds in the pigment, and remain in the paint film as
coordination complexes or salts. A large number of the original ester bonds in the oil
molecules undergo hydrolysis releasing individual fatty acids. Some portion of the free
fatty acids react with metals in the pigment, producing metal carboxylates. Together, the
various non-cross-linking substances associated with the polymer network constitute the
mobile phases. Unlike the molecules that are part of the network itself, they are capable
of moving and diffusing within the film, and can be removed using heat or a solvent. The
mobile phase may play a role in plasticising the paint film, preventing it from becoming
too brittle.
One simple technique for monitoring the early stages of the drying process is to measure
weight change in an oil film over time. Initially, the film becomes heavier, as it
absorbs large amounts of oxygen. Then oxygen uptake ceases, and the weight of the film
declines as volatile compounds are lost to the environment.
As the oil ages, a further transition occurs. Carboxyl groups in the polymers of the
stationary phase lose a hydrogen ion, becoming negatively charged, and form complexes
with metal cations present in the pigment. The original network, with its nonpolar,
covalent bonds is replaced by an ionomeric structure, held together by ionic
interactions. At present, the structure of these ionomeric networks is not well
understood.
Substances containing unsaturated carbons are ubiquitous in indoor environments. They
result from many sources (see below). Most are reactive with environmental ozone and many
produce stable products which are thought to adversely affect human health.The potential
for surfaces in an enclosed space to facilitate reactions should be considered.

Section 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/ or
territory. Each user must refer to laws operating in their area. In some areas, certain
wastes must be tracked.
A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:
路 Reduction,
路 Reuse
路 Recycling
路 Disposal (if all else fails)
This material may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make
it unsuitable for its intended use. If it has been contaminated, it may be possible to
reclaim the product by filtration, distillation or some other means. Shelf life
considerations should also be applied in making decisions of this type. Note that
properties of a material may change in use, and recycling or reuse may not always be
appropriate.
DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains.
It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal.
In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and these
should be considered first. Where in doubt contact the responsible authority.
路 Recycle wherever possible or consult manufacturer for recycling options.
