Emptied container retains vapor and product residue. Observe all labeled safeguards until container is

cleaned, reconditioned, or destroyed.



Storage: Product is stable under normal conditions of storage and handling.



 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION



Eye Protection: This product does not cause significant eye irritation or eye toxicity requiring special

protection. Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact.



Skin Protection: Although it does not present a significant skin concern, minimize skin contamination by

following good industrial practice. Wearing protective gloves is recommended. Wash hands and

contaminated skin thoroughly after handling.



Respiratory Protection: Avoid breathing mist. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection equipment

when airborne exposure is excessive. Consult respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type

equipment for given application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH/MSHA or the

manufacturer. Respiratory protection programs must comply with 29 CFR 1910.134.



Ventilation: Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to minimize exposure. If practical, use local mechanical

Dermal -         Practically Nontoxic   (Rabbit LD50 > 34,600 mg/kg)



Inhalation -     Practically Nontoxic   (Rat 4-hr LC50 > 47 mg/l. No deaths and no signs of toxicity were

                                        observed in animals exposed to 47 mg/l, the highest atmospheric

                                        concentration achievable by heating the material to 329°C in this

                                        study.)



Eye Irritation - Nonirritating          (Rabbit, 0.0/110.0)



Skin Irritation - Nonirritating         (Rabbit, 24-hr exposure, 0.0/8.0)



Laboratory studies have been conducted on similar polyphenyl ether formulations and these data are

considered representative of Santovac® 5 Lubricant.



In a controlled skin contact study, no skin irritation (primary or cumulative) or skin allergy was observed in

humans following repeated exposures to a polyphenyl ether formulation similar to Santovac® 5 Lubricant.



Increases in liver weights and liver/body weight ratios with accompanying increase in liver cell size,

considered to be related in increased liver metabolic activity and increases in adrenal weight were noted in

rats following repeated skin exposure (4-weeks) to a second polyphenyl ether formulation. This same

formulation produced no genetic changes in standard tests using animal or bacterial cells.
