SECTION 3	HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance & Odor: Amber, clear liquid. Mild odor.
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:
May cause slight irritation of the skin.  If irritation occurs, a temporary 
burning sensation and minor redness and/or swelling may result.  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.  
Other adverse effects not expected from brief skin contact.

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:
If the victim has difficulty breathing or tightness of the chest, is dizzy, 
vomiting or unresponsive, give 100% oxygen with rescue breathing or CPR as 
required and transport to the nearest medical facility.

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.  If redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters occur, 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.  Have 
victim rinse mouth out with water, then drink sips of water to remove taste 
from mouth.  If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent 
aspiration.

Note to Physician:
In general, emesis induction is unnecessary in high viscosity, low volatility 
products such as oils and greases.

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:
Do not store in open or unlabeled containers.  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.

SECTION 8	EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oil mist, mineral   ACGIH TLV  TWA: 5 mg/m3  STEL: 10 mg/m3    
Oil mist, mineral   OSHA PEL  TWA: 5 mg/m3      

EXPOSURE CONTROLS
Provide 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

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:  Air Purifying, R or P style  prefilter & organic cartridge,  
NIOSH approved respirator.  Self-contained breathing apparatus for use in 
environments with unknown concentrations or emergency situations.
