Other Health Warnings:
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: 400 F Lower Explosive Limit: NE Upper Explosive Limit: NE
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, water fog, carbon dioxide, foam, sand, earth
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Water may be ineffective, but may be used to cool fire-exposed
containers.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Wear safety goggles, gloves, and a dust respirator. Remove all ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Shut off leak. Dike if
necessary. After cooling and solidification, scrape and/or shovel up material. Clean area with absorbent material (do not use
flammable substances such as sawdust). Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Keep in closed container. Store below 200 F. Avoid ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid incompatible materials.
Use only in well-ventilated areas. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Other Precautions:
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection:
Ventilation Requirements:
Use only in well-ventilated areas.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Safety goggles, gloves, dust respirator, protective clothing

X. Stability and Reactivity:
Stability:
Stable under normal conditions.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid):
Ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark), strong oxidizing agents, hydrogen peroxide, bromine, mineral acids
Decomposition/By Products:
Carbon monoxide & dioxide, sulfur oxides, hydrogen sulfide, zinc, manganese (See Section XI)
Hazardous Polymerization:
Does not occur.
XI. Toxicological Information:
Manganese fumes may evolve under FIRE conditions. Men exposed to manganese dusts showed a decrease in fertility. Chronic
manganese poisoning primarily involves the central nervous system. Early symptoms include languor, sleepiness, and weakness in
the legs. A stolid mask-like appearance of the face, emotional disturbances (i. e. uncontrollable laughter), and a spastic gait with
tendency to fall in walking are findings in more advanced cases. High incidence of pneumonia has been found in workers exposed
to the dust or fume of some manganese compounds.
XII. Ecological Information:
Prevent from entering sewers or waterways. May be toxic to some aquatic life.
XIII. Disposal Considerations:
Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
XIV. Transport Information:
Keep in closed container. Transport below 200 F. Avoid ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid incompatible materials.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
XV. Regulatory Information:
Petrolatum USP grades are fully refined materials meeting the requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia XXII and the
requirements of the Food & Drug Administration as per Title 21 CFR parts 172.880 & 178.3700.
This material is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 313 of SARA Title III and 40 CFR Part 373.
XVI. Other Information:
Using this product under normal, properly instructed procedures should not be hazardous.
