2 EMERGENCY INFORMATION .

Product is alkaline. Product is a primary eye irritant. Highway spills could result in slippery conditions.
No other significant health effects are associated with this material.

3 POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS OF DIRECT EXPOSURE

.

Product Product at Use Dilution

Inhalation: Not Applicable Extended exposure to mist may cause upper
respiratory irritation.
Eye Contact: Product is a primary eye irritant. Will cause stinging sensation in the eye.
Skin Contact: Product is not a primary skin irritant. Not irritating to the skin when used as directed
and good personal hygiene is practiced.
Ingestion: Not orally toxic. Swallowing small quantities may cause diarrhea,
nausea or vomiting.
Medical Conditions generally aggravated by exposure
May aggravate existing skin irritation where further defatting or skin penetration could occur.
Mild skin irritation (redness and dryness of hands) may be experienced when the diluted product has
been contaminated by certain oils, by dissolved metals, or when mix ratio is too strong. When
problems occur, use of water-resistant barrier creams may be a temporary control measure.
Contact Milacron Marketing Company, Global Industrial Fluids Technical Services at 1-513-458-8199
for specific recommendations.
When used in applications generating high levels of mist, operator exposure can be minimized by
proper ventilation, use of mist collectors or splash guards, as appropriate. If there is doubt about
actual mist levels present, monitoring should be conducted. Contact Milacron Marketing Company,
Global Industrial Fluids at 1-513-458-8199 for specific recommendations.

Signs and symptoms of exposure
Acute
Eye injury may result from contact with product. Skin irritation can result from improper use and
handling of product.

4 EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

.

Eyes
In case of eye contact, flush immediately with running water for at least 15 minutes, and get prompt
medical attention.
Skin Contact
For skin contact flush with large amounts of water while removing contaminated clothing. Remove
contaminated shoes and clothing and launder before reuse. If irritation persists, get medical attention.

Diluted product is not irritating to the skin when used as recommended and good personal hygiene is
practiced.
Ingestion
If the material is swallowed, get immediate medical attention or advice. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
Give two glasses of water or milk. Immediately contact a physician and obtain treatment. Swallowing
small quantities of diluted product may cause nausea, diarrhea or abdominal distress.
Inhalation
Inhalation can occur in applications where high mist levels are generated. OSHA has set a PEL of 15
mg/m³ for any airborne particulate as a nuisance level of exposure. NIOSH has set a REL of 0.5 mg/m³
for metalworking fluid mist. If symptoms are experienced, remove source of contamination or move
victim to fresh air. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.

5 CONTROL MEASURES .

Respiratory protection
Product is not volatile.

In applications where time-weighted exposures are 0.5 to 5 mg/m³, mist reduction through improved
ventilation, mist collection or process modification is recommended by NIOSH. Where this is not
possible, NIOSH recommends the use of any air purifying, half-mask respirator including a disposable
respirator, equipped with any P- or R-series particulate filter. If the average exposure will exceed 5
mg/m³, NIOSH recommends use of a powered, air-purifying respirator equipped with a hood or helmet
and a HEPA filter. If respiratory problems are present when mist levels are < 0.5 mg/m³, respiratory
protection should be based on the individual recommendation of a qualified health care provider.
Caution
The appropriate use and type of respirator is dependent upon use of the product and local operating
conditions.
Ventilation
For most applications, normal shop ventilation is adequate. However, when high mist levels are
generated or where machines are close together or ventilation is inadequate, operators may experience
respiratory irritation. For such applications, use of splash guards or mist collectors is recommended.
Eye protection
Proper metalworking plant eye protection required when handling product concentrate.

34HUU352 2/ 6
 Other protective clothing or equipment
Use effective metalworking plant protective clothing as appropriate.
Work / Hygiene Practices
Good personal hygiene should always be followed.
Protective Gloves
Impervious gloves, such as nitrile gloves, are recommended when handling product concentrate.
