Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EXTENSIVE STUDIES HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED
ON HALOCARBON OILS SIMILAR TO THE ONES FOUND IN THIS PRODUCT.BASED
ON ALL THE AVAILABLE DATA IN THREE SPECIES OF ANIMALS,LIMITED
EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT SHOULD N OT BE HARMFUL TO ANY PORTION OF
THE HU MAN ANATOMY.STUDIES CONDUCTED BY THE AIR FORCE HAVE
DEMONSTRATED LIVER TOXICITY IN RODENTS BUT NOT IN PRIMATES.THE
OBSERVED LIVER TOXICITY IS BELIEVED TO BE SPEC IFIC FOR RODENTS AND
NOT RELEVENT TO HUMANS.HALOCARBON OILS ARE NOT IRRITATI NG TO THE
SKIN BUT SIMPLE SKIN PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED TO PREVENT REPEATED
EXPOSURE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF SENSITIZATION. AMORPHOUS SILICA IS
BENIGN .
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT PROVIDED BY MFR
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE: FROM THE ANIMAL STUDIES, SIGNS OF
FLUORIDE POISONING MAY BE EXPECTED. THESE INCLUDE NAUSEA, SHORTNESS
OF BREATH AND LOSS OF APPETITE.HLTH HAZ: ALL MUTAGANIC STUDIES WERE
NEGATIVE. AMORPHOUS SIL ICA, UNLIKE CRYSTALLINE SILICA, IS
CONSIDERED BIOLOGICALLY BENIGN. SINCE THE POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN
TOXICITY CANNOT BE RULED OUT PROPER WORK PRACTICES SHOULD BE
EMPLOYED. ACUTE: FROM THE ANIMAL STUDIES, SIGNS OF FLUORIDE
POISONING MAY BE EXPECTED. THESE INCLUDE NAUSEA, SHORTNESS OF
BREATH AND LOSS OF APPETITE. CHRONIC: UNKNOWN.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE KNOWN

First Aid:INHALATION: N/A. SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. NO SKIN
EFFECTS EXPECTED. EYE: FLUSH EYES IMMEDIATELY WITH PLENTY OF WATER
FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. ORAL: DILUTE BY DRINKING LARGE QUANTITIES
OF WATER. IF VOMITING OCCURS ADMINISTER MORE WATER.

SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IF
THERE IS DANGER OF LEAKAGE IN FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS ARE TOXIC
AND CORROSIVE.
