First-aid measures

Eye: Flush eyes with water immediately while holding the eyelids open. Remove contact lenses, if worn,

after initial flushing, and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation

persists.

Skin: Wash skin with water immediately and remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical

attention if any symptoms develop. To remove the material from skin, apply a waterless hand cleaner,

mineral oil, or petroleum jelly. Then wash with soap and water. Discard contaminated clothing and shoes

or thoroughly clean before reuse.

IMMEDIATE SYMPTOMS AND HEALTH EFFECTS

Eye: Contact with the eyes causes irritation. Symptoms may include pain, tearing, reddening, swelling

and impaired vision.

Skin: Contact with the skin causes irritation. Contact with the skin may cause an allergic skin reaction.

Symptoms may include pain, itching, discoloration, swelling, and blistering.

Ingestion: May be irritating to mouth, throat, and stomach. Symptoms may include pain, nausea,

vomiting, and diarrhea.

Inhalation: Not expected to be harmful if inhaled. Contains a petroleum-based mineral oil. May cause

respiratory irritation or other pulmonary effects following prolonged or repeated inhalation of oil mist at

airborne levels above the recommended mineral oil mist exposure limit. Symptoms of respiratory

irritation may include coughing and difficulty breathing.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Combustion Products: Highly dependent on combustion conditions. A complex mixture of airborne

solids, liquids, and gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and unidentified organic compounds

will be evolved when this material undergoes combustion. Combustion may form oxides of: Nitrogen .

Advice for firefighters

This material will burn although it is not easily ignited. For fires involving this material, do not enter any

enclosed or confined fire space without proper protective equipment, including self-contained breathing

apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spilled material. Refer to Sections 5 and 8 for more

information.

Environmental precautions

Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Contain release to prevent further

contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Clean up spill as soon as possible, observing precautions in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use

appropriate techniques such as applying non-combustible absorbent materials or pumping. Where

feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated soil and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable

requirements. Place other contaminated materials in disposable containers and dispose of in a manner

consistent with applicable requirements. Report spills to local authorities as appropriate or required.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. If this material is heated above 49C (120F) thermal burns can

result from accidental contact with skin or eyes. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment if

engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent contact. Some heated materials may

release fumes that are unpleasant and produce nausea and irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract.

Use in a well-ventilated area. Do not taste or swallow. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and

drainage systems and bodies of water.

Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this

material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves,

be sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an

electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling,

tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations)

and use appropriate mitigating procedures.

General Storage Information: In normal storage conditions, the shelf life of this product is 2 years.

Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty

container or it may rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid,

and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose

such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. They may explode

and cause injury or death. Empty containers should be completely drained, properly closed, and promptly

returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of properly.

Specific end use(s):Lubricating oil additive

Exposure controls / personal protection

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 2), applicable exposure limits, job activities,

and other substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and selecting personal

protective equipment. If engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent exposure to

harmful levels of this material, the personal protective equipment listed below is recommended. The user

should read and understand all instructions and limitations supplied with the equipment since protection is

usually provided for a limited time or under certain circumstances. Refer to appropriate CEN standards.

Control parameters

No applicable occupational exposure limits exist for this material or its components. Consult local

authorities for appropriate values.

Exposure controls

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:

Use in a well-ventilated area.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Eye/Face Protection: Wear protective equipment to prevent eye contact. Selection of protective

equipment may include safety glasses, chemical goggles, face shields, or a combination depending on the

work operations conducted.

Skin Protection: Wear protective clothing to prevent skin contact. Selection of protective clothing may

include gloves, apron, boots, and complete facial protection depending on operations conducted.

Suggested materials for protective gloves include: Nitrile Rubber, Silver Shield, Viton.

Respiratory Protection: No respiratory protection is normally required. If user operations generate an

oil mist, determine if airborne concentrations are below the occupational exposure limit for mineral oil

mist. If not, wear an approved respirator that provides adequate protection from the measured

concentrations of this material. For air-purifying respirators use a particulate cartridge.

ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE CONTROLS:

See relevant Community environmental protection legislation or the Annex, as applicable.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity: This material is not expected to react.

Chemical Stability: This material is considered stable under normal ambient and anticipated storage

and handling conditions of temperature and pressure.

Possibility of hazardous reactions: Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

Conditions to Avoid: Do not heat above flash point.

Incompatible materials to avoid: May react with strong acids or strong oxidizing agents, such as

chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, etc.

Hazardous decomposition products: None known (None expected)

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Use material for its intended purpose or recycle if possible. This material, if it must be discarded, may

meet the criteria of a hazardous waste as defined by international, country, or local laws and regulations.

In accordance with European Waste Catalogue (E.W.C.) the codification is the following: 07 07 99.
