Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE LETHALITY: PRODUCT IS
PRACTICALLY NON-TOXIC. CHRONIC EFFECTS: NOT SKIN IRRITANTS.
HOWEVER, PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION,
DERMATITIS OR OIL ACNE. INHALATION IS UNLIKELY . HOWEVER, PROLONGED
OR REPEATED INHALATION OF EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF MISTS OR FUMES MAY
CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. OIL DEPOSIT IN THE LUNGS
MAY LEAD TO FIBROSIS AND REDUCED PULMONARY FU NCTION. INGESTION IS
UNLIKELY, HOWEVER IT MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. NOT EYE
IRRITANTS. HOWEVER, REPEATED OR PROLONGED CONTACT WITH SPRAY MIST
MAY PRODUCE EYE IRRITATION , BUT NO PERMANENT DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:(ACGIH) EXPOSURE TO OIL MIST ALONE HAS
NOT BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO CAUSE HUMAN HEALTH EFFECTS AT LEVELS BELOW
5 MG/M3. (IARC) GROUP 3. CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED AS TO CARCINOGENICITY
TO HUMANS. (NTP) NO STUDI ES WERE FOUND. (IRIS) NO STUDIES WERE
FOUND. (API) PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN EXPOSURE TO USE MOTOR OILS
CAN CAUSE CANCER IN MICE.
Effects of Overexposure:MAY IRRITATE THE EYES. NON IRRITATING TO SKIN.
INHALATION MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE BREATHING PASSAGES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NOT PROVIDED.

First Aid:EYE: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH RUNNING WATER FOR AT LEAST
15 MINUTES, KEEPING EYELIDS OPEN. DO NOT USE AN EYE OINTMENT. SKIN:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH GENTLY AND THOROUGHLY
CONTAMINATED SK IN WITH RUNNING WATER AND NON-ABRASIVE SOAP.
INHALATION: EVACUATE VICTIM TO A SAFE AREA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IF
THE VICTIM IS NOT BREATHING, PERFORM MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION.
ADMINISTER OXYGEN IF AVAILABLE. ALLOW VICTIM TO REST IN A WELL
VENTILATED AREA. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING BECAUSE OF DANGER OF ASPIRATING LIQUID INTO LUNGS. GET
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Flash Point Method:COC
Flash Point:>177.C, 350.6F
COC: ASTM D92
Autoignition Temp:>195.C, 383.F
Extinguishing Media:SMALL FIRE: USE DRY CHEMICALS, FOAM, OR CO2. LARGE
FIRES: USE WATER SPRAY, FOG OR FOAM. FOR SMALL OUTDOOR FIRES,
PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS MAY BE USED.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IF RAIL CAR OR TANK TRUCK IS INVOLVED IN A
FIRE, ISOLATE FOR 0.5 MILES IN ALL DIRECTIONS. DO NOT EXTINGUISH A
LEAKING GAS FLAME UNLESS LEAK CAN BE STOPPED. SHUT OFF FUEL TO FIRE
IF POSSIBLE TO DO SO W ITHOUT HAZARD. IF IMPOSSIBLE, WITHDRAW FROM
AREA AND LET FIRE BURN OUT UNDER CONTROL CONDITION. SEE OTHER
INFORMATION.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:LOW FIRE HAZARD. THIS MATERIAL MUST BE
HEATED BEFORE IGNITION WILL OCCUR. AVOID CONTACT WITH STRONG
OXIDIZING AGENTS, INCLUDING PEROXIDES, CHLORINE AND STRONG ACIDS.
DO NOT CUT, WELD, HEAT, OR DRILL E MPTY CONTAINER.

Spill Release Procedures:ELIMINATE ALL IGNITION SOURCES. AVOID CONTACT.
STOP LEAK IF WITHOUT RISK. CONTAIN SPILL. ABSORB WITH INERT
ABSORBENTS SUCH AS DRY CLAY, OR DIATOMACEOUS EARTH. PLACE USED
ABSORBENT IN CLOSED METAL CONT AINERS FOR LATER DISPOSAL OR BURN
ABSORBENT IN A SUITABLE COMBUSTION CHAMBER. DO NOT FLUSH TO SEWERS,
STREAMS OR WATER. CHECK WITH APPLICABLE JURISDICTION FOR DISPOSAL
REQUIREMENTS. NOTIFY AUTHORITIES
Neutralizing Agent:NOT PROVIDED.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINERS IN
COOL, DRY, ISOLATED AND WELL-VENTILATED AREA. KEEP AWAY FROM
SOURCES OF IGNITION. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES. PRACTICE
GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE. WASH HANDS AFT ER HANDLING AND BEFORE
EATING. LAUNDER WORK CLOTHES FREQUENTLY. DISCARD SATURATED LEATHER
GOODS.
Other Precautions:NOT PROVIDED.

Respiratory Protection:RESPIRATOR NORMALLY NOT NECESSARY. IF MIST
GENERATED BY HEATING, SPRAYING, ETC. WEAR AN ORGANIC VAPOUR
RESPIRATOR WITH A MIST FILTER. ALL RESPIRATORS MUST BE NIOSH
CERTIFIED.
Ventilation:FOR NORMAL APPLICATION, SPECIAL VENTILATION IS NOT
NECESSARY IF USER'S OPERATIONS GENERATE VAPOURS OR MIST. (SEE
SUPPL)
Protective Gloves:FOR CASUAL CONTACT, PVC GLOVES ARE SUITABLE. OVER 2
HOURS, NEOPRENE OR NITRILE.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES IN CASE OF SPLASHING.
Other Protective Equipment:FEET: SAFETY BOOTS OR SHOES. BODY: LONG
SLEEVED CLOTHING TO MINIMIZE SKIN CONTACT.
Work Hygienic Practices:NOT PROVIDED.
Supplemental Safety and Health
USE VENTILATION TO KEEP EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE CONTAMINANTS BELOW THE
EXPOSURE LIMIT. MAKE-UP AIR SHOULD ALWAYS BE SUPPLIED TO BALANCE
AIR REMOVED BY EXHAUST VENTILATION. ENSURE THAT EYEWASH STATION AND
SAFETY SHOWER ARE CLOSE TO WORK-STATION. COPPER CORROSION, 3H,
