3. Hazards Identification

Warning Statements	OIL MIST MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT
Eyes	Expected to cause no more than minor eye irritation
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	Expected to cause no more than minor skin irritation. Prolonged or frequently repeated contact may cause more severe irritation or may cause the skin to become cracked or dry from the defatting action of this material.
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 Section11 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 164 (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. Amonia fumes may be released

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 shied 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 daily.
Inhalation	Respiratory protection is normally not required. However, if operating conditions create airborne concentrations which exceed the recommended exposure standard(s), the use of an approved respirator is recommended. Wear approved respiratory protection such as toxic dust, mist and fume respirator. Use approved supplied air respiratory protection for cleaning large spills or upon entry into tanks, vessels, or other confined spaces
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 been listed in the US National Toxicoloty Program (NTP) Annual Report nor have they been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as carcinogenic or probably carcinogenic to humans.

Some low viscosity naphthenic oils have caused skin irritation and skin tumours in laboratory animals when repeatedly applied and left in place between applications. The significance of this effect to humans has not been established. Brief or intermittant contact is not expected to cause adverse effects it if is washed thoroughly. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.
