Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy
to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists, get medical attention.
Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation
develops. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse and discard leather articles saturated
with the material.
Remove exposed person to fresh air if adverse effects are observed.
Note to physician: Treat symptomatically.
Fire Fighting Measures
165 C, 329 F PMCC (Typical)
CO2, dry chemical, or foam. Water can be used to cool and protect exposed material.
Recommend wearing self-contained breathing apparatus. Water may cause splattering.
None known.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Protective Equipment must be worn, see Personal Protection Section for PPE
recommendations. Ventilate area if spilled in confined space or other poorly ventilated areas.
Prevent entry into sewers and waterways, dispose of in accordance with all federal, state and
local environmental regulation. Pick up free liquid for recycle and/or disposal. Residual
liquid can be absorbed on inert material.
Handling and Storage
60 C, 140 F
70 C, 158 F
Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not discharge into drains or the environment,
dispose to an authorized waste collection point. Use appropriate containment to avoid
environmental contamination. Wash thoroughly after handling. Empty container contains
product residue which may exhibit hazards of product.
45 C, 113 F
Odorous and toxic fumes may form from the decomposition of this product if stored at
temperatures in excess of 113 deg F (45 deg C) for extended periods of time or if heat
sources in excess of 250 deg F (121 deg C) are used.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Exposure Limits
Australia
Not applicable.
New Zealand
Not applicable.
Other Exposure Limits

Contains mineral oil. Under conditions which may generate mists, observe the Worksafe
Australia exposure limit of 5 mg per cubic meter, ACGIH STEL of 10 mg per cubic meter.

Clothing Recommendation

Use with adequate ventilation.

Nitrile.
Safety Glasses.
Use full face respirator with a combination organic vapor and dust/mist cartridge if the
recommended exposure limit is exceeded. Use self-contained breathing apparatus for entry
into confined space, for other poorly ventilated areas and for large spill clean-up sites.
Long sleeve shirt is recommended. Use chemically protective boots when necessary to avoid
contaminating shoes. Do not wear rings, watches or similar apparel that could entrap the
material and cause a skin reaction. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.

Toxicological Information

-- ACUTE EXPOSURE -The LD50 in rats is > 5000 mg/kg. Based on data from components or similar materials.
Moderate to strong eye irritation. Based on data from components or similar material.
Not expected to be a primary skin irritant. Based on data from components or similar
materials. Prolonged or repeated skin contact as from clothing wet with material may cause
dermatitis. Symptoms may include redness, edema, drying, and cracking of the skin.
The LD50 in rabbits is > 2000 mg/Kg. Based on data from components or similar materials.
Not expected to be a toxic inhalation hazard. Based on data available from components or
similar materials.
If material is misted or if vapors are generated from heating, exposure may cause irritation of
mucous membranes and the upper respiratory tract similar to that observed with mineral oil.
Based on data from components or similar materials. Under good industrial hygiene practices
where all exposure limits are observed, respiratory irritation should not be a problem.
No data available to indicate product or components may be a skin sensitizer.
No data available to indicate product or components may be respiratory sensitizers.
-- CHRONIC EXPOSURE -No data available to indicate product or components present at greater than 1% are chronic
health hazards.
This product contains mineral oils which are considered to be severely refined and not
considered to be carcinogenic under IARC. All of the oils in this product have been
demonstrated to contain less than 3% extrables by the IP 346 test.
No data available to indicate product or any components present at greater than 0.1% are
mutagenic or genotoxic.
This product contains para-dodecylphenol. Rats given high, repeated daily doses of paradodecylphenol by oral intubation experienced adverse reproductive effects. The relevance of
these effects to humans is uncertain.
This product contains para-dodecylphenol. Pregnant rats given high, repeated daily doses of
para-dodecylphenol by oral intubation gave birth to pups with cleft palate and skeletal
malformations. The relevance of these effects to humans is uncertain.
-- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -No other health hazards known.
