SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION 
IMMEDIATE HEALTH EFFECTS 
Eye: Not expected to cause prolonged or significant eye irritation. 
Skin: Contact with the skin is not expected to cause prolonged or significant irritation. Not 
expected to be harmful to internal organs if abs orbed through the skin. High-Pressure Equipment 
Information: Accidental high-velocity injection under  the skin of materials of this type may result in 
serious injury. Seek medical attention at once shou ld an accident like this occur. The initial wound 
at the injection site may not appear to be serious at first; but, if left untreated, could result in 
disfigurement or amputation of the affected part.  
Ingestion:  Not expected to be harmful if swallowed. 
Inhalation:  Not expected to be harmful if inhaled. Contains a petroleum-based mineral oil. May 
cause respiratory irritation or other pulmonary effects following prolonged or repeated inhalation 
of oil mist at airborne levels above the recomm ended mineral oil mist exposure limit. Symptoms 
of respiratory irritation may include coughing and difficulty breathing. 
  
						

							
SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES 
 
Eye: No specific first aid measures are required. As a precaution, remove contact lenses, if worn, 
and flush eyes with water. 
Skin:  No specific first aid measures are required. As a precaution, remove clothing and shoes if 
contaminated. To remove the material from sk in, use soap and water. Discard contaminated 
clothing and shoes or thoroughly clean before reuse.  
Ingestion:  No specific first aid measures are required . Do not induce vomiting. As a precaution, 
get medical advice. 
Inhalation:  No specific first aid measures are required . If exposed to excessive levels of material 
in the air, move the exposed person to fresh air. Get medical attention if coughing or respiratory 
discomfort occurs. 
Note to Physicians:  In an accident involving high-pressure equipment, this product may be 
injected under the skin. Such an accident may re sult in a small, sometimes bloodless, puncture 
wound. However, because of its driving force,  material injected into a fingertip can be deposited 
into the palm of the hand. Within 24 hours, there is usually a great deal of swelling, discoloration, 
and intense throbbing pain. Immediate treatm ent at a surgical emergency center is 
recommended.
 
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES 
Leaks/ruptures in high pressure system using materials of this type can create a fire hazard when 
in the vicinity of ignition sources (eg. open fl ame, pilot lights, sparks, or electric arcs).  
FIRE CLASSIFICATION: 
OSHA Classification (29 CFR 1910.1200): Not classi fied by OSHA as flammable or combustible. 
 
NFPA RATINGS:  Health: 0 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0 
 
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: 
Flashpoint:  (Cleveland Open Cup) 170 °C (338 °F) (Min) 
Autoignition:  No Data Available  
Flammability (Explosive) Limits (% by volume in air):  Lower: Not Applicable Upper: Not 
Applicable  
 
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:  Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to 
extinguish flames.
  
PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS: 
Fire Fighting Instructions:  This material will burn although it is not easily ignited. For fires 
involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space without proper protective 
equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus. 
Combustion Products:  Highly dependent on combustion conditions. A complex mixture of 
airborne solids, liquids, and gases including carb on monoxide, carbon dioxide, and unidentified 
organic compounds will be evolved when this material undergoes combustion. 
 
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 
Protective Measures:  Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spilled material.  
Spill Management:  Stop the source of the release if you c an do it without risk. Contain release to 
prevent further contamination of  soil, surface water or groundwater. Clean up spill as soon as  
						

							
possible, observing precautions in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate 
techniques such as applying non-combustible absorbent materials or pumping. Where feasible 
and appropriate, remove contaminated soil.  Place contaminated materials in disposable 
containers and dispose of in a manner  consistent with applicable regulations. 
Reporting:  Report spills to local authorities and/or the U.S. Coast Guards National Response 
Center at (800) 424-8802 as appropriate or required.
 
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE 
Precautionary Measures:  DO NOT USE IN HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEMS in the vicinity of 
flames, sparks and hot surfaces. Use only in  well ventilated areas. Keep container closed. 
 
General Handling Information:  Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage 
and drainage systems and bodies of water. 
Static Hazard:  Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when 
handling this material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but 
may not, by themselves, be sufficient. Review  all operations which have the potential of 
generating and accumulating an electrostatic ch arge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including 
tank and container filling, splash filling, tank clea ning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering, 
mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations)  and use appropriate mitigating procedures. For 
more information, refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106, Flammable and Combustible 
Liquids, National Fire Protection Associati on (NFPA 77, Recommended Practice on Static 
Electricity, and/or the American Petroleu m Institute (API) Recommended Practice 2003, 
Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents.   
Container Warnings:  Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to 
empty container or it may rupture with explosiv e force. Empty containers retain product residue 
(solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. 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. Empty containers should be completely 
drained, properly closed, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of properly.
  
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTRO LS/PERSONAL PROTECTION 
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:  
Consider the potential hazards of this material  (see Section 3), applicable exposure limits, job 
activities, and other substances in the work  place when designing engineering controls and 
selecting personal protective equipment. If engi neering controls or work practices are not 
adequate to prevent exposure to harmful levels  of this material, the personal protective 
equipment listed below is recommended. The user  should read and understand all instructions 
and limitations supplied with the equipment since pr otection is usually provided for a limited time 
or under certain circumstances.  
 
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: 
Use in a well-ventilated area. 
 
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 
Eye/Face Protection:  No special eye protection is normally required. Where splashing is 
possible, wear safety glasses with side shields as a good safety practice. 
Skin Protection:  No special protective clothing is norma lly required. Where splashing is possible, 
select protective clothing depending on operatio ns conducted, physical requirements and other 
substances in the work place. Suggested materials for protec tive gloves include: 4H (PE/EVAL), 
Nitrile Rubber, Silver Shield, Viton.  
Respiratory Protection:  No respiratory protection is normally required.  
If user operations generate an oil mist, determi ne if airborne concentrations are below the 
occupational exposure limit for mineral oil mist. If  not, wear an approved respirator that provides 
adequate protection from the measured concentrations of this material. For air-purifying 
respirators use a particulate cartridge. 
Use a positive pressure air-supplying respirator  in circumstances where air-purifying respirators  
						

							
may not provide adequate protection.
