Section 3: Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Clear colorless to pale yellow liquid.

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 absorbed through the skin.  Contact with the skin is not expected to cause an allergic skin response.

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 because this material is not expected to cause eye irritation. As a precaution, remove contact lenses, if worn, and flush eyes with water.

SKIN:

No specific first aid measures are

required because this material is not

expected to be harmful if it contacts the

skin. As a precaution, remove clothing

and shoes if contaminated. To remove

the material from skin, use soap and

water. Discard contaminated

clothing and shoes or thoroughly

clean before reuse.

INGESTION:

No specific first aid measures are required because this material is not expected to be harmful if swallowed. Do not induce vomiting. As a precaution, give the person a glass of water or milk to drink and get medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

INHALATION:

No specific first aid measures are

required because this material is not

expected to be harmful if inhaled. 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.

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

FIRE CLASSIFICATION;

OSHA Classification (29 CFR

1910.1200): Not classified by OSHA as flammable or combustible.

NFPA RATINGS:

HEALTH FLAMMABILITY REACTIVITY

0 1 0

FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES:

FLASH POINT:

Cleveland Open Cup 378°F (190°C)

(Min)

AUTOIGNITION:

No data available

FLAMMABLE (EXPLOSIVE) LIMITS (% by volume in air):

Lower N/A Upper N/A

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 selfcontained breathing apparatus.

Combustion Products:

Highly dependent on combustion

conditions. A complex mixture of

airborne solids, liquids, and gases including carbon 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 can

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 noncombustible

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 Guard’s National Response Center at (800) 424-8802 as appropriate or required.

Section 7. Handling and Storage

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 an

accumulation of electrostatic charge and/

or a flammable atmosphere (including

tank and container filling, splash filling,

tank cleaning, 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 Association (NFPA 77, ‘Recommended Practice on Static Electricity; and /or the American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice 2003, ‘Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning and Stray Currents’.

CONTAINER WARNING:

Container is not designed to contain

pressure. Do not use pressure to empty

container or it may rupture with

explosive 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 Controls/

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 engineering 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 protection 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 normally required. Where splashing is possible, select protective clothing depending on operations conducted, physical requirements and other substances.  Suggested materials for protective gloves include: Nitrile Rubber, Silver Shield, Viton.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:

No respiratory protection is normally required.

If user operations generate an oil mist,

determine if airborne concentrations are

below the OSHA Permissible Exposure

Limit (PEL) of 5 mg/m3 for mineral oil

mist. If not, wear a NIOSH 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 if there is potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
