GHS Hazard Statements: The material is not hazardous under the criteria of the federal OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard’s (29 CFR 1910.1200) implementation of the Globally Harmonized System
(GHS)

GHS Precautionary Statements: Material is not a dangerous substance or mixture requiring GHS
classification according to the US GHS regulations.

Other Hazards: Spills produce extremely slippery surfaces.

3) Information on Ingredients

measured at 40°C.

4) First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air. No hazards which require special first aid measures.

Skin Contact: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated
clothes and shoes. In case of persistent skin irritation, consult a physician.

Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
Alternatively, rinse immediately with Diphoterine®. Get prompt medical attention.

5) Fire and Explosion Data/Fire Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None.

Special Hazards Arising from the Substance or Mixture: Hazardous Decomposition Products—
Carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides. Hydrogen cyanide (hydrocyanic acid) may be produced in the event of
combustion in an oxygen deficient atmosphere.

Advice for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit. Spills produce
extremely slippery surfaces.

6) Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment, and Emergency Procedures: Do not touch or walk
through spilled material. Spills produce extremely slippery surfaces. Wear suitable protective clothing,
gloves, and eye/face protection. Keep people away from spill/leak.

Environmental Precautions: Do not contaminate water.

Methods and Materials for Containment and Clean Up: SMALL SPILLS—Do not flush with water.
Soak up with inert absorbent material. Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal.
LARGE SPILLS—Do not flush with water. Dam up. Clean up promptly by scoop or vacuum. RESIDUES—
Soak up with inert absorbent material. After cleaning, flush away traces with water.

7) Handling and Storage

Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Renders surfaces extremely slip-
pery when spilled. When using, do not eat, drink, or smoke.

Conditions for Safe Storage, Including Any Incompatibilities: Keep away from heat and sources of
ignition. Freezing will affect the physical condition and may damage the material. Incompatible with oxi-
dizing agents.

8) Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits:

Distillates, (petroleum) hydrotreated light
ACGIH: 200mg/m3 (8-hour)

Appropriate Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust if misting occurs. Natural ventilation is
adequate in absence of mists.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Eye/Face Protection: Safety glasses with side shields.

Skin Protection: Wear coveralls and/or chemical apron and rubber footwear where physical contact can
occur.

Hand Protection: PVC or other plastic material gloves.

Respiratory Protection: No personal respiratory protective equipment normally required.

Additional Advice: Wash hands before breaks and at the end of the workday. Handle in accordance
with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands and face before breaks and immediately
after handling the product.

Environmental Exposure Controls: Do not allow uncontrolled discharge of product into the
environment.
