SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance & Odor: Pale, clear liquid
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]: 367 ºF/186.11 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. Clear fire area of all non-emergency
personnel. Only enter confined fire space with full gear, including a
positive pressure, NIOSH-approved, self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool
surrounding equipment, fire-exposed containers and structures with water.
Container areas exposed to direct flame contact should be cooled with large
quantities of water (500 gallons water per minute flame impingement exposure)
to prevent weakening of container structure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS
Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations below the exposure
guidelines/limits.
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. For Vapors:
