Please Note: The chemical identity of some or all of the above ingredients is confidential business
information and may be withheld as permitted by 29 CFR 1910 1200 and various State Right to Know Laws.
Trade secret may apply.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: WARNING! Combustible Liquid, causes eye and skin irritation. Inhalation
irritant.
EYE: Flush with water for 15-20 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
SKIN: Wash immediately with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before
reuse. Discard shoes and leather articles saturated with the product. Obtain medical advice if
irritation occurs.
INHALATION: Remove exposed person to fresh air. If breathing is labored give oxygen. If breathing
has stopped apply artificial respiration. Get immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If conscious, give 2 glasses of water. If vomiting does
occur, keep head below hips to reduce risk of aspiration. Get immediate medical
attention. CAUTION: Harmful or Fatal if Swallowed
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, and alcohol foam and halon extinguishing.
FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Full bunker gear recommended, including a positive pressure self-contained
breathing apparatus. Water may cause spattering. Frothing material will float on water.
Isolate spill area. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protection. Recover free product
for recycle and/or disposal. Add sand, earth or other suitable absorbent to spill area. Prevent entry into sewers
and waterways. Check under Transportation and Labeling (DOT/CERCLA) and Other Regulator Information
Section (SARA) for hazardous substances to determine regulatory reporting requirements for spill.
HANDLING: Keep away from potential sources of ignition. Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin or clothing. Wash hands after handling. Empty container may retain product residue which
may exhibit hazards of product.
STORAGE: Do not store near potential sources of ignition. Store in well ventilated area. Keep away from
heat or flame.
VENTILATION: Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below
exposure limits.
SKIN: Use Viton or Nitrile gloves to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.
EYE: Use splash goggles or face shield where splashing is expected or can occur.
EXPOSURE LIMITS: The Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of 5 mg/m3 is suggested for oil mist.
INCOMPATIBILITY: Avoid contact with strong oxidants, concentrated oxygen, sodium hypochlorite or
calcium hypochlorite.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OF PRODUCT: Thermal decomposition products may include toxic oxides
of carbon, aldehydes and other products of incomplete
combustion.
ACUTE EXPOSURE
Eye Irritation: Moderate eye irritation. Based on data from components or similar material.
Skin Irritation: Moderate skin irritant. Based on data from components or similar material.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact as from clothing wet with material may cause
dermatitis. Symptoms may include redness, edema, drying, defatting, and
cracking of the skin.
Inhalation Toxicity: No data available to indicate product or components may be a toxic inhalation
hazard. However, high concentrations may cause headaches, dizziness, nausea,
stupor and other CNS effects leading to visual impairment, difficulty breathing and
convulsions.
Respiratory Irritation: If material is misted or if vapors are generated from heating, exposure may cause
irritation of mucous membranes and the upper respiratory tract similar to that
observed with mineral oil. Based on data from components or similar materials.
Under good industrial hygiene practices where all exposure limits are observed,
respiratory irritation should not be a problem.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE
Chronic Toxicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1% are chronic
health hazards.
Mutagenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a
mutagenic or genotoxic hazard.
Reproductive Toxicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a
reproductive hazard.
Teratogenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a
teratogenic hazards.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Exposure Limits: Under conditions which may generate mists, observe the OSHA PEL of 5 mg per
cubic meter, ACGIH STEL of 10 mg per cubic meter.
Material is expected to be hazardous when disposed, Dispose of in accordance with all local, state and
federal regulations as defined under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 40 CFR 261.
This product is not classified as hazardous material for DOT shipping. For further information relative to spills
resulting from transportation incidents, refer to the latest DOT Emergency Response Guidebook for Hazardous
Materials.
