3. Hazards Identification

Warning Statements

ASPIRATION HAZARD IS SWALLOWED. LOW VISCOSITY PETROLEUM MIXUTURE. CAN CAUSE LUNG INJURY IF INGESTED OR ASPIRATED. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

Eyes

Not expected to cause eye irritation following short term exposure

Oral

Ingestion of this product and subsequent vomitting can result in aspiration into the lungs, causing chemical pnuemonia and lung damage

Inhalation

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

Skin

Not expected to be irritating following short-term 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 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

Do not induce vomitting. Aspiration of the material can cause serious lung injury such as chemical pnemonia. Call a doctor immediately. If spontaneous vomitting occurs, keep head below hips to prvent aspiration and monitor for breathing difficulty. 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

This product may present an aspiration hazard. See related comments in this MSDS. If spontaneous vomitting has occurred after ingestion, the patient should be monitored for difficult breathing, as adverse effects of aspiration into the lungs may be delayed up to 48 hours

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.

8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection

Eyes

No special eye protection is usually required

Skin

No special skin protection is necessary

Inhalation

Respiratory protection is not usually 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

Ventilation

Use adequate ventilation to keep the airborne concentrations of this material below the recommended exposure standard(s). 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
