This material is not hazardous according to regulatory guidelines (see (M)SDS Section 15).
Health Hazards:
High-pressure injection under skin may cause serious damage. Excessive exposure may result in eye, skin, or
respiratory irritation.
Environmental Hazards:
Expected to be harmful to aquatic organisms. May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
NOTE: This material should not be used for any other purpose than the intended use in Section 1 without expert
advice. Health studies have shown that chemical exposure may cause potential human health risks which may vary
from person to person.
* All concentrations are percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in percent by volume. Other
ingredients determined not to be hazardous up to 100%.
INHALATION
Under normal conditions of intended use, this material is not expected to be an inhalation hazard.
SKIN CONTACT
Wash contact areas with soap and water. If product is injected into or under the skin, or into any part of the
body, regardless of the appearance of the wound or its size, the individual should be evaluated immediately by
a physician as a surgical emergency. Even though initial symptoms from high pressure injection may be

minimal or absent, early surgical treatment within the first few hours may significantly reduce the ultimate extent
of injury.
EYE CONTACT
Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, get medical assistance.
INGESTION
First aid is normally not required. Seek medical attention if discomfort occurs.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
None
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Appropriate Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish
flames.
FIRE FIGHTING
Fire Fighting Instructions: Evacuate area. Prevent run-off from fire control or dilution from entering
streams, sewers or drinking water supply. Fire-fighters should use standard protective equipment and in
enclosed spaces, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces
and to protect personnel.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Aldehydes, Incomplete combustion products, Oxides of carbon, Smoke,
Fume, Sulphur oxides
FLAMMABILITY PROPERTIES
Flash Point [Method]: >204°C (399°F) [EST. FOR OIL, ASTM D-92 (COC)]
Flammable Limits (Approximate volume % in air): LEL: N/D UEL: N/D
Autoignition Temperature: N/D
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable
regulations.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. See Section 5 for fire fighting information. See the Hazard Identification
Section for Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8 for advice on the minimum
requirements for personal protective equipment. Additional protective measures may be necessary, depending
on the specific circumstances and/or the expert judgment of the emergency responders.
For emergency responders: Respiratory protection: respiratory protection will be necessary only in special
cases, e.g., formation of mists. Half-face or full-face respirator with filter(s) for dust/organic vapor or Self
Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) can be used depending on the size of spill and potential level of

exposure. If the exposure cannot be completely characterized or an oxygen deficient atmosphere is possible
or anticipated, SCBA is recommended. Work gloves that are resistant to hydrocarbons are recommended.
Gloves made of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) are not water-resistant and are not suitable for emergency use.
Chemical goggles are recommended if splashes or contact with eyes is possible. Small spills: normal
antistatic work clothes are usually adequate. Large spills: full body suit of chemical resistant, antistatic
material is recommended.
SPILL MANAGEMENT
Land Spill: Scrape up spilled material with shovels into a suitable container for recycle or disposal.
Water Spill: Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Confine the spill immediately with booms. Warn other
shipping. Skim from surface
Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material;
however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction
and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local experts should be
consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
HANDLING
Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard.
STORAGE
Do not store in open or unlabelled containers.
Biological limits
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions.
Control measures to consider:
No special requirements under ordinary conditions of use and with adequate ventilation.
PERSONAL PROTECTION

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Personal protective equipment selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as applications,
handling practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of protective equipment for use
with this material, as provided below, is based upon intended, normal usage.
For high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in positive pressure mode.
Supplied air respirators with an escape bottle may be appropriate when oxygen levels are inadequate,
gas/vapour warning properties are poor, or if air purifying filter capacity/rating may be exceeded.
Hand Protection: Any specific glove information provided is based on published literature and glove
manufacturer data. Glove suitability and breakthrough time will differ depending on the specific use conditions.
Contact the glove manufacturer for specific advice on glove selection and breakthrough times for your use
conditions. Inspect and replace worn or damaged gloves. The types of gloves to be considered for this material
include:
Nitrile,Viton
No protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use.
Eye Protection: If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
Skin and Body Protection: Any specific clothing information provided is based on published literature or
manufacturer data. The types of clothing to be considered for this material include:
No skin protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use. In accordance with good
industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid skin contact.
Specific Hygiene Measures: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after
handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective
equipment to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned.
Practise good housekeeping.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS
Comply with applicable environmental regulations limiting discharge to air, water and
soil. Protect the environment by applying appropriate control measures to prevent or limit
emissions.
