Section 2 Hazards Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
This product is a liquid that is soluble in water. Direct eye contact may cause mild
irritation and redness. Short term skin exposure is not expected to be irritating.
Inhalation of high mist levels may cause upper respiratory tract irritation. Ingestion is
not an anticipated route of exposure.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS AND SYMPTOMS FROM SHORT TERM / ACUTE
EXPOSURE:
Eye
This product is not expected to cause eye irritation under normal conditions of
use. Symptoms of mild eye irritation and redness may result upon direct contact
or when exposed to high mist levels in poorly ventilated areas.
Skin
Short term skin contact is not expected to cause skin irritation. Prolonged or
repeated direct exposure to the skin may result in symptoms of irritation and
redness. In severe cases, prolonged or repeated contact may result in dermatitis
accompanied by symptoms of irritation, itching, dryness, cracking and/or
inflammation.

Section 4 First Aid Measures
EYE CONTACT:
Upon direct eye contact, hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream
of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation is due to exposure to mist or vapors,
remove the individual to fresh air. If irritation persists, flush the eyes with clean
water until the irritation subsides. If symptoms persist, contact a physician.
SKIN CONTACT:
Remove product from the skin by washing with a mild soap and water.
Contaminated clothing should be removed to prevent prolonged exposure. If
symptoms of exposure persist, contact a physician.
INHALATION:
Inhalation is not an expected route of exposure. If respiratory irritation or distress
occurs, remove the individual to fresh air. Contact a physician or other medical
professional if irritation or distress persists.
INGESTION:
If small amounts are ingested, first aid measures are not likely to be necessary.
If larger amounts are ingested or if symptoms of ingestion occur, dilute stomach
contents with two glasses of water or milk. (NOTE: Do NOT give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person.) Do not induce vomiting without medical
supervision. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep airway clear. If symptoms
of ingestion persist, seek medical attention.
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS:
No further data known.

Product Name......................... : RIDGID Water Washable Thread Cutting Oil
EXTINGUISH MEDIA:
In accordance with NFPA guidance, dry chemical, foam or CO2 fire extinguishers
are all acceptable. Note that while water fog extinguishers are also acceptable,
do NOT apply a direct stream of water onto burning product because it may
cause spreading and increase fire intensity.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
No further data known.
FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT:
Emergency responders in the danger area should wear bunker gear and self-
contained breathing apparatus for fires beyond the incipient stage. See Section
8 of the MSDS for other PPE to be worn as conditions warrant.
Section 6 Accidental Release Measures
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
Use personal protection recommended in Section 8.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
This material is a water pollutant. Do not let spilled or leaking material enter
waterways.
CLEAN-UP MEASURES:
Important: As with any spill or leak, before responding, ensure that you are
familiar with the potential hazards and recommendations of the MSDS.
Appropriate personal protective equipment must be worn.
If possible, safely contain the spill with dikes or other spill response equipment
appropriate for petroleum or organic material releases. Take measures to
prevent spreading of product. Note that while product will ignite, it will not readily
burn. However, as a precaution, eliminate ignition sources. Prevent from
entering sewers or waterways. Large volumes may be transferred to an
appropriate container for proper disposal. Small volumes or residues may be
soaked up with absorbents. Spill response materials should be collected for
proper disposal.

Section 7 Handling And Storage
HANDLING:
As with any industrial chemical, handle the product in a manner that minimizes
exposure to practicable levels. Prior to handling, consult Section 8 of this MSDS
to evaluate personal protective equipment needs. Open containers slowly to
relieve any pressure. Follow all other standard industrial hygiene practices.
Empty containers may contain product residue. All safety precautions taken
when handling this product should also be taken when handling empty drums
and containers. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Product residue in empty containers is combustible but will not readily burn.
Note, however, that excessive heating or cutting of empty containers may create
an ignition source sufficient to start a fire and, in extreme cases, cause an
explosion.
STORAGE:
Protect product quality by storing indoors and away from extreme temperatures.
Close all containers when not in use.
SPECIAL COMMENTS:
Do not mix with nitrites. This product contains an amine that may react, under
certain conditions, with nitrites to form nitrosamines.
Provide adequate ventilation to protect against exposure to ethylene oxide which
may collect in the head space of containers or in enclosed areas where the
product is used.
No further data known.

Section 8 Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES:
Component
Hexylene Glycol OSHA Ceiling: 25 PPM
ACGIH Ceiling: 25 PPM
8 hr TWA: 50 PPM (total)
Propylene Glycol AIHA WEEL:
10 mg / m3 (aerosol)
5 mg / m3
Triethanalamine OSHA PEL /
ACGIH TWA: 5mg / m3
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Normal general ventilation is expected to be adequate. It is recommended that
ventilation be designed in all instances to maintain airborne concentrations at
lowest practicable levels. Ventilation should, at a minimum, prevent airborne
concentrations from exceeding any exposure limits.
The user may wish to refer to 29 CFR 1910.1000(d) (2) and the ACGIH
"Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents Biological
Exposure Indices" (Appendix C) for the determination of exposure limits of
mixtures. An industrial hygienist or similar professional may be consulted to
confirm that the calculated exposure limits apply.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Selection of personal protective equipment should be based upon the anticipated
exposure and made in accordance with OSHA's Personal Protective Equipment
Standard found in 29 CFR 1910 Subpart I. The following information may be
used to assist in PPE selection.
Eye Protection
Wear eye protection appropriate to prevent eye exposure. Where
splashing is not likely, chemical safety glasses with side shields are
recommended. Where splashing may occur, chemical goggles or full face
shield is recommended.

Product Name......................... : RIDGID Water Washable Thread Cutting Oil
Skin Protection
Gloves are not normally needed during normal conditions of use. If health
effects are experienced, oil or chemical resistant gloves such as butyl or
nitrile are recommended.
Where splashing or soaking is likely, wear oil or chemical resistant
clothing to prevent exposure.
Respiratory Protection
A respirator may be worn to reduce exposure to vapors, dust or mist.
Select a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator appropriate for the type and
physical character of the airborne material. A self-contained breathing
apparatus is recommended in all situations where airborne contaminant
concentration has not been confirmed to be below safe levels. Respirator
use should comply with the OSHA Respirator Protection Standard found in
29 CFR 1910.134.
General Hygiene Considerations
Wash thoroughly after handling.
