VARIABILITY AMONG INDIVIDUALS
Health studies have shown that many petroleum hydrocarbons and synthetic
lubricants pose potential human health risks which may vary from person to
person. As a precaution, exposure to liquids, vapors, mists or fumes should
be minimized.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE (Signs and symptoms of exposure)
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause skin irritation.
PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHICH MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
None recognized
________________________________________________________________________________
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
________________________________________________________________________________
EYE CONTACT
If splashed into the eyes, flush with clear water for 15 minutes or until
irritation subsides. If irritation persists, call a physician.
SKIN
In case of skin contact, remove any contaminated clothing and wash skin with
soap and water. Launder or dry-clean clothing before reuse. If product is
injected into or under the skin, or into any part of the body, regardless of
the appearance of the wound or its size, the individual should be evaluated
immediately by a physician as a surgical emergency. Even though initial
symptoms from high pressure injection may be minimal or absent, early surgical
treatment within the first few hours may significantly reduce the ultimate
extent of injury.
INHALATION
Vapor pressure is very low. Vapor inhalation under ambient conditions is
normally not a problem. If overcome by vapor from hot product, immediately
remove from exposure and call a physician. If breathing is irregular or has
stopped, start resuscitation; administer oxygen, if available. If overexposed
to oil mist, remove from further exposure until excessive oil mist condition
subsides.
INGESTION
If ingested, DO NOT induce vomiting; call a physician immediately.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA AND FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Foam, water spray (fog), dry chemical, carbon dioxide and vaporizing liquid
type extinguishing agents may all be suitable for extinguishing fires
involving this type of product, depending on size or potential size of fire
and circumstances related to the situation. Plan fire protection and response
strategy through consultation with local fire protection authorities or
appropriate specialists.
The following procedures for this type of product are based on the
recommendations in the National Fire Protection Association's "Fire Protection
Guide on Hazardous Materials", Tenth Edition (1991):
Use water spray, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide to extinguish the fire.
Use water to keep fire-exposed containers cool. If a leak or spill has not
ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors and to provide protection for
persons attempting to stop a leak. Water spray may be used to flush spills
away from exposures. Minimize breathing of gases, vapor, fumes or
decomposition products. Use supplied-air breathing equipment for enclosed or
confined spaces or as otherwise needed.
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS
Fumes, smoke, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, aldehydes and
other decomposition products, in the case of incomplete combustion.

electricity, and open flame.
"EMPTY" CONTAINER WARNING
"Empty" containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous.&n, bsp;
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.
Do not attempt to refill or clean containers since residue is difficult to
remove. "Empty" drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and
promptly returned to a drum reconditioner. All other containers should be
disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with
governmental regulations.
For work on tanks refer to Occupational Safety and Health Administration
regulations, ANSI Z49.1, and other governmental and industrial references
pertaining to cleaning, repairing, welding, or other contemplated operations.

EXPOSURE LIMIT FOR TOTAL PRODUCT BASIS
5 mg/m3 for oil mist (aerosol) for OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1910.1000 and
an 8-hour workday recommended by the American Conference
of Governmental Industrial Hygienists
(ACGIH). ACGIH states that the air is
to be sampled by a method that does not
collect vapor; in addition, it lists a
10 mg/m3 STEL.
VENTILATION
Use local exhaust to capture vapor, mists or fumes, if necessary. Provide
ventilation sufficient to prevent exceeding recommended exposure limit or
buildup of explosive concentrations of vapor in air. No smoking, or use of
flame or other ignition sources.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Use supplied-air respiratory protection in confined or enclosed spaces, if
needed.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Use chemical-resistant gloves, if needed, to avoid prolonged or repeated skin
contact.
EYE PROTECTION
Use splash goggles or face shield when eye contact may occur.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Use chemical-resistant apron or other impervious clothing, if needed, to avoid
contaminating regular clothing, which could result in prolonged or repeated
skin contact.

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
________________________________________________________________________________
NATURE OF HAZARD AND TOXICITY INFORMATION
Repeated and prolonged overexposure to oil mists may result in droplet
deposition, oil granuloma formation, inflammation and increased incidence of
infection.
In accordance with the current OSHA Hazard Communication Standard criteria,
this product does not require a cancer hazard warning. This is because the
product is formulated from base stocks which are severely hydrotreated,
severely solvent extracted, and/or processed by mild hydrotreatment and
extraction. Alternatively, it may consist of components not otherwise
affected by IARC criteria, such as atmospheric distillates or synthetically
derived materials, and as such is not characterized by current IARC
classification criteria.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact with this product tends to remove skin
oils, possibly leading to irritation and dermatitis; however, based on human
experience and available toxicological data, this product is judged to be
neither a "corrosive" nor an "irritant" by OSHA criteria.
Product contacting the eyes may cause eye irritation.
Product has a low order of acute oral and dermal toxicity, but minute amounts
aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe
pulmonary injury and possibly death.
This product is judged to have an acute oral LD50 (rat) greater than 5 g/kg of
body weight, and an acute dermal LD50 (rabbit) greater than 3.16 g/kg of body
weight.
