3. Hazards Identification

Warning Statements

OIL MIST MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT

Eyes

Not expected to cause eye irritation following short-term exposure

Oral

If more than several mouthfuls are swallowed, abdominal discomfort, nauses, and diarrhea may occur

Inhalation

Breathing the vapour or mist at concentrations in air that exceed the ACGIH TLV can cause respiratory irritation or discomfort.

Skin

Not expected to be irritating following short-term contact. May cuase skin discolouration following prolonged or repeated contact.

Long Term Toxic Effects

The base oil component(s) are not expected to be carcinogenic based on IARC criteria. This product has not been tested as a whole for chronic health effects. See Section 11 for additional information.

4. First Aid Measures

Eyes

Flush eyes immediately with fresh water for several minutes while holding the eyelids open. If irritation persists, see a doctor

Skin

Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Launder contaminated clothing. If skin irritation persists or a rash develops as a result of excessive contact, see a doctor

Ingestion

If swallowed and person is conscious, give water or milk. DO NOT make person vomit except on advice of medical personnel. If advice cannot be obtained, take person with container and label to nearest emergency treatment center. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person

Inhalation

If respiratory irritation or any signs or symptons as described in this MSDS occur, mover the person to fresh air. If any of these effects continue, see a doctor

Advice to Doctor

None applicable

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Ignition Temperature, °C

Not determined

Flammable Limits (% by Volume)

Not determined

Flash Point, °C

More than 175 (COC) (for all the product grades)

Fire Extinguishing Agents

According to the US National Fire Protection Assocition Guide, use water spray, dry chemical, foam or carbondioxide. Water or foam may cause frothing. Use water to cool fire-exposed containers. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapours and to provide protection for personsl attempting to stop the leak

Explosion Hazards

For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined space without self-contained breathing apparatus to protect against the hazardous effects of combustion products or oxygen deficiency.

6. Accidential Release Measures

In case of Spill

Stop the source of the leak or release and contain spill if possible. Ventillate the area. Use respirator and protective clothing as discussed in this MSDS. Cover spill with a generous amount of inert absorbent. Use a stiff broom to mix thoroughly. Sweep up and place in a disposable container. Scrub contaminated area with detergent and water using a stiff broom. Pick up liquid with additional absorbent and place in a disposable container. Prevent contamination of groundwater or surface water

7. Handling and Storage

Minimum feasible handling temperatures should be maintained. Periods of exposure to high temperatures should be minimised. Water contamination should be avoided.
Misuse of empty containers can be hazardous. DO NOT cut, weld, heat or drill container. Residue may ignite with explosive violence if heated sufficiently. Do not pressurize or expose to open flame or heat. Keep container closed and drum bungs in place..

8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection

Eyes

Avoid eye contact. The wearing of chemical safety goggles or face shield is recommended.

Skin

Exposed employees should exercise reasonable personal clealiness; this includes cleansing exposed skin several times daily with soap and water, and laundering or dry cleaning soiled work clothing at least weekly.

Inhalation

If operating conditions result in airborne mists or vapours which exceed the exposure standards, the use of an approved respirator is recommended. Wear approved respiratory protection such as toxic dust, mist or fume respirator

Ventilation

Use adequate ventilation to keep the airborne concentrations of this material below the ACGIH TLV for mineral oil mists. Local exhuast ventilation and/or enclosure of the processes is preferred in these cases

Exposure Limits

The ACGIH TLV for mineral oil mists is 5 mg/m3 for a daily 8 – hour exposure.

11. Toxicological Information

General

This product contains petroleum base oils which may be refined by various processes including severe solvent extraction, hydrocracking and hydrotreating. These oils have not bene listed in the US National Toxicology Program (NTP) Annual report nor have they been classified by the International Agency on Research on Cancer (IARC) as carcinogenic or probably carcinogenic to humans.This material contains chlorinated paraffin. In a recent NTP bioassay, a similar chlorinated paraffin caused an increase in tumours when given in very high oral doses to mice and rats for the duration of their lifespans. The significance to man of the results of this study is not known. While we believe that low level or infrequent exposure to this material is not likely to cause cancer or other serious disease, the precautions outlined in this MSDS should be carefully observed.

12. Ecological Information

Environmental Effects

No specific toxicology data on this product is available. This product or a component(s) is expected to be resistant to biodegradation. Contains a component that has the potential to bioaccumulate

13. Disposal Considerations

Waste Disposal

Place contamined materials is disposable containers and dispose off in a manner consistent with applicable regulations. Contact local environmental or health authorities for approved disposal of this material. It is the responsibility of the user of products to determine, at the time of disposal whether the product meets criteria for hazardious wastes. Product uses, transformations, mixuture and processes, may render the resulting material hazardous

Remarks

This material may present environmental risks common to oil spills. Contact your local oil spill response group and applicable government agencies if a spill occurs.

15. Regulatory Information

Respirator Information

In the absense of local approval authorities/standards, follow US NIOSH/MSHA, UK BSI regulations. Respirators must meet either the above or local standard for approved respirators

16. Other Information

Thermal decomposition products may be formed during metal working  operations or upon exposure to extreme heat or open flame. The products may be irritating to the eyes, nose, throat or lungs. Metal oxide fumes may also be formed; exposure to fumes may cause flu-like symptoms, including nose and chest congestion, fever, tightness in the chest, and rapid heart rate. Symptoms usually disappear within several days.
During machining, emulsions or solutions may become contaminated with certain metals which are present in the workpieces or tools. Some of these contaminants (like chormium, nickel and cobalt) are capable of inducing allegic skin reactions, and cause an increased health risk if excessive exposure to mist occurs. In addition, metallic particles may abrade the skin with a resultant increase in irritant effects. Proper procdures for regular draining and cleaning of machine tool coolant systems can help obtain optimum fluid performance and reduce bacterial spoilage.
