SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye: No specific first aid measures are required. As a precaution, remove contact lenses, if worn, and
flush eyes with water.
Skin: No specific first aid measures are required. As a precaution, remove clothing and shoes if
contaminated. To remove the material from skin, use soap and water. Discard contaminated clothing
and shoes or thoroughly clean before reuse.
Ingestion: No specific first aid measures are required. Do not induce vomiting. As a precaution, get
medical advice.
Inhalation: No specific first aid measures are required. If exposed to excessive levels of material in the
air, move the exposed person to fresh air. Get medical attention if coughing or respiratory discomfort
occurs.
Note to Physicians: In an accident involving high-pressure equipment, this product may be injected
under the skin. Such an accident may result in a small, sometimes bloodless, puncture wound.
However, because of its driving force, material injected into a fingertip can be deposited into the palm of
the hand. Within 24 hours, there is usually a great deal of swelling, discoloration, and intense throbbing

pain. Immediate treatment at a surgical emergency center is recommended.

IMMEDIATE HEALTH EFFECTS

Eye: Not expected to cause prolonged or significant eye irritation.
Skin: High-Pressure Equipment Information: Accidental high-velocity injection under the skin of
materials of this type may result in serious injury. Seek medical attention at once should an accident like
this occur. The initial wound at the injection site may not appear to be serious at first; but, if left
untreated, could result in disfigurement or amputation of the affected part.
Contact with the skin is not expected to cause prolonged or significant irritation. Contact with the skin
is not expected to cause an allergic skin response. Not expected to be harmful to internal organs if
absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion: Not expected to be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation: Not expected to be harmful if inhaled. Contains a synthetic hydrocarbon oil. May cause
respiratory irritation or other pulmonary effects following prolonged or repeated inhalation of oil mist at
airborne levels above the recommended mineral oil mist exposure limit. Contains a petroleum-based
mineral oil. May cause respiratory irritation or other pulmonary effects following prolonged or repeated
inhalation of oil mist at airborne levels above the recommended mineral oil mist exposure limit.
Symptoms of respiratory irritation may include coughing and difficulty breathing.

SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish
flames.
Unusual Fire Hazards: Leaks/ruptures in high pressure system using materials of this type can create a
fire hazard when in the vicinity of ignition sources (eg. open flame, pilot lights, sparks, or electric arcs).

PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS:

Fire Fighting Instructions: This material will burn although it is not easily ignited. See Section 7 for
proper handling and storage. For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined fire
space without proper protective equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus.
Combustion Products: Highly dependent on combustion conditions. A complex mixture of airborne
solids, liquids, and gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and unidentified organic
compounds will be evolved when this material undergoes combustion.

SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Protective Measures: Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spilled material.

Spill Management: Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Contain release to
prevent further contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater. Clean up spill as soon as possible,
observing precautions in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as
applying non-combustible absorbent materials or pumping. Where feasible and appropriate, remove
contaminated soil. Place contaminated materials in disposable containers and dispose of in a manner
consistent with applicable regulations.
Reporting: Report spills to local authorities as appropriate or required.

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and
drainage systems and bodies of water.
Precautionary Measures: DO NOT USE IN HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEMS in the vicinity of flames,
sparks and hot surfaces. Use only in well ventilated areas. Keep container closed.
Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling

Revision Number: 4 2 of 7 Cetus HiPerSYN Oil 32, 46, 68
Revision Date: December 02, 2022 SDS : 34125
this material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by
themselves, be sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating
an electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling,
tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations)
and use appropriate mitigating procedures.
Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty
container or it may rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid,
and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. They may explode
and cause injury or death. Empty containers should be completely drained, properly closed, and
promptly returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of properly.

SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 2), applicable exposure limits, job activities,
and other substances in the workplace when designing engineering controls and selecting personal
protective equipment (PPE). If engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent
exposure to harmful levels of this material, refer to PPE information below.

Factors that affect PPE include, but are not limited to: properties of the chemical, other chemicals which
may contact the same PPE, physical requirements (fit & sizing, cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal
protection, etc.), and potential allergic reactions to the PPE material. It is the responsibility of the user to
read and understand all instructions and limitations supplied with the equipment since protection is
usually provided for a limited time or under certain circumstances. Refer to appropriate CEN standards.
Special note: Do not use in breathing air apparatus or medical equipment.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use in a well-ventilated area.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Eye/Face Protection: Wear protective equipment to prevent eye contact. Selection of protective
equipment may include safety glasses, chemical goggles, face shields, or a combination depending on
the work operations conducted.
Skin Protection: Wear chemical personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent skin contact. Selection
of chemical protective clothing should be performed by an Occupational Hygienist or Safety Professional
and be based upon applicable standards (ASTM F739 or EN 374). Using chemical PPE depends upon
operations conducted and may include chemical gloves, boots, chemical apron, chemical suit, and
complete facial protection. Refer to PPE manufacturers to obtain breakthrough time information to
determine how long PPE can be used before it needs to be replaced. Unless specific glove
manufacturer data indicates otherwise, the below table is based upon available industry data to assist in
the glove selection process and is intended to be used as reference only.

Chemical Glove Material Thickness Typical Breakthrough Time

(mm) (minutes)
Butyl 0.7 120
Nitrile 0.8 240
Viton Butyl 0.3 240

Respiratory Protection: No respiratory protection is normally required. If user operations generate an

oil mist, determine if airborne concentrations are below the occupational exposure limit for mineral oil
mist. If not, wear an approved respirator that provides adequate protection from the measured

Use a positive pressure air-supplying respirator in circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not
provide adequate protection.
