Slight Hydrocarbon odor. Health Hazards: No known immediate health hazards. High-pressure injection under the skin may cause serious damage. Physical Hazards: No known physical hazards. NFPA Rating (Health, Fire, Reactivity): 0, 1, 0 Hazard Rating:Least - 0 Slight - 1 Moderate - 2 High - 3 Extreme - 4 Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors (generated at high temperatures only) or oil mist may cause mild irritation of the nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Eye Irritation: Lubricating oils are generally considered no more than minimally irritating to the eyes. Skin Contact: Lubricating oils are generally considered no more than minimally irritating to the skin. Prolonged and repeated contact may result in defatting and drying of the skin that may cause various skin disorders such as dermatitis, folliculitis or oil acne. Release of the material during high-pressure applications may result in injection under the skin causing possible extensive tissue damage which is difficult to heal. Ingestion: Lubricating oils are generally no more than slightly toxic if swallowed. Signs and Symptoms: Irritation as noted above. Local necrosis is evidenced by delayed onset of pain and tissue damage a few hours following injection. Aggravated Medical Conditions: Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product. For additional health information, refer to section 11. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Get medical attention. Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes and wipe excess from skin. Flush skin with water, then wash with soap and water. If irritation occurs, get medical attention. Do not reuse clothing until cleaned. If material is injected under the skin, transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment. Eye: Flush with water. If irritation occurs, get medical attention. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. In general, no treatment is necessary unless large quantities of product are ingested. However, get medical attention. Note to Physician: In general, emesis induction is unnecessary in high viscosity, low volatility products such as oils and greases. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flash Point [Method]: 370 ºF/187.78 ºC [ Cleveland Open Cup] Extinguishing Media: Material will float and can be re-ignited on surface of water. Use water fog, 'alcohol foam', dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames. Do not use a direct stream of water. Fire Fighting Instructions: Material will not burn unless preheated. Do not enter confined fire space without full bunker gear (helmet with face shield, bunker coats, gloves and rubber boots), including a positive pressure, NIOSH approved, self-contained breathing apparatus. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protective Measures: May burn although not readily ignitable. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when cleaning up spills. Refer to Section 8. Spill Management: FOR LARGE SPILLS: Remove with vacuum truck or pump to storage/salvage vessels. FOR SMALL SPILLS: Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material. Place in non-leaking container and seal tightly for proper disposal. Reporting: CERCLA: Product is covered by EPA's Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) petroleum exclusion. Releases to air, land, or water are not reportable under CERCLA (Superfund). CWA: This product is an oil as defined under Section 311 of EPA's Clean Water Act (CWA). Spills into or leading to surface waters that cause a sheen must be reported to the National Response Center, 1-800-424-8802. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Precautionary Measures: Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics, or using toilet. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Properly dispose of contaminated leather articles such as shoes or belts that cannot be decontaminated. Avoid heat, open flames, including pilot lights, and strong oxidizing agents. Use explosion-proof ventilation to prevent vapor accumulation. Ground all handling equipment to prevent sparking. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation. Keep away from open flames and high temperatures. Container Warnings: Keep containers closed when not in use. Containers, even those that have been emptied, can contain explosive vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld or perform similar operations on or near containers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oil mist, mineral ACGIH TLV TWA: 5 mg/m3 STEL: 10 mg/m3 Oil mist, mineral OSHA PEL TWA: 5 mg/m3 Oil mist, mineral OSHA PEL - 1989(revoked) TWA: 5 mg/m3 Hydrogen sulfide ACGIH - TLV TWA: 10 ppmm STEL: 15 ppmm Hydrogen sulfide OSHA - PEL_IS TWA: 10 ppmm STEL: 15 ppmm Hydrogen sulfide Elevated Temperatures > 120 Degrees F EXPOSURE CONTROLS Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations below the exposure guidelines/limits. Eye washes and showers for emergency use. PERSONAL PROTECTION Personal protective equipment (PPE) selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as handling practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of eye, skin and respiratory protection for use with this material is provided below. Eye Protection: Chemical Goggles, or Safety glasses with side shields Skin Protection: Use protective clothing which is chemically resistant to this material. Selection of protective clothing depends on potential exposure conditions and may include gloves, boots, suits and other items. The selection(s) should take into account such factors as job task, type of exposure and durability requirements. Published literature, test data and/or glove and clothing manufacturers indicate the best protection is provided by: Neoprene, or Nitrile Rubber Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator must be worn. Respirator selection, use and maintenance should be in accordance with the requirements of the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard, 29 CFR 1910.134. Types of respirator(s) to be considered in the selection process include: For Mist: Air Purifying, R or P style NIOSH approved respirator.
