4. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
NATURE OF HAZARD:
INHALATION: Negligible hazard at normal temperatures (up to 38 deg. C). Elevated temperatures or
mechanical action may form vapours, mists or fumes which may be irritating to the eyes, nose, throat
and lungs. Avoid breathing vapours or mists.
EYE CONTACT: Slightly irritating, but will not injure eye tissue.
SKIN CONTACT: Low toxicity. Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate the skin.
INGESTION: Low toxicity.
ACUTE TOXICITY DATA: Based on animal testing data from similar materials and products, the acute
toxicity of this product is expected to be:
Oral:
LD50 > 5000 mg/kg (rat)
Dermal:
LD50 > 3160 mg/kg (rabbit)
Inhalation:
LC50 > 5000 mg/m3 (rat)
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT:
ACGIH recommends: For oil mists, 5 mg/m3. Local regulated limits may vary.
5. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Vapour pressure of this material is low and as such inhalation under normal conditions
is usually not a problem. If overexposed to oil mist, remove from further exposure. Administer artifi cial
respiration if breathing has stopped. Keep at rest. Call for prompt medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. If irritation persists,
get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Flush with large amounts of water. Use soap if available. Remove severely contami-
nated clothing (including shoes) and launder before reuse. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
INGESTION: If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Get prompt medical attention.
6. PREVENTIVE AND CORRECTIVE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTION: The selection of personal protective equipment varies, depending upon
conditions of use. In open systems where contact is likely, wear safety goggles, chemical-resistant
overalls, and chemically impervious gloves. Where only incidental contact is likely, wear safety glasses
with side shields. No other special precautions are necessary provided skin/eye contact is avoided.
Where concentrations in air may exceed the occupational exposure limits given in Section 4 and where
engineering, work practices or other means of exposure reduction are not adequate, approved respira-
tors may be necessary to prevent overexposure by inhalation.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control emis-
sions near the source. Laboratory samples should be handled in a fumehood. Provide mechanical
ventilation of confi ned spaces.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
HANDLING, STORAGE AND SHIPPING: Keep containers closed. Handle and open containers with
care. Store in a cool, well ventilated place away from incompatible materials. Do not handle or store
near an open fl ame, sources of heat, or sources of ignition. Odorous and toxic fumes may form from
the decomposition of this product if stored at temperatures in excess of 45 deg. C for extended periods
of time or if heat sources in excess of 121 deg. C are used. Empty containers may contain product
residue. Do not pressurize cut, heat, or weld empty containers. Do not reuse empty containers without
commercial cleaning or reconditioning.
LAND SPILL: Eliminate source of ignition. Keep public away. Prevent additional discharge of material. If
possible to do so without hazard. Prevent spills from entering sewers, watercourses or low areas. Con-
tain spilled liquid with sand or earth. Recover by pumping or by using a suitable absorbent. Consult an
expert of disposal or recovered material. Ensure disposal in compliance with government requirements
and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations. Notify the appropriate authorities immediately. Take
all additional action necessary to prevent and remedy the adverse effects of the spill.
WATER SPILL: Remove from surface by skimming or with suitable absorbants. If allowed by local
authorities and environmental agencies, sinking and/or suitable dispersants may be used in uncon-
fi ned waters. Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material. Ensure disposal in compliance with
government requirements and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations. Notify the appropriate
7. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flashpoint and method: 178 deg. C COC D92
Autoignition: NA
GENERAL HAZARDS:
Low hazard; liquids may burn upon heating to temperatures at or above the fl ash point. Decomposes;
fl ammable/toxic gases will form at elevated temperatures (thermal decomposition). Toxic gases will
form upon combustion.
FIRE FIGHTING: Use water spray to cool fi re exposed surfaces and to protect personnel. Shut off
fuel to fi re.
Use foam, dry chemical or water spray to extinguish fi re. Respiratory and eye protection required for
fi re fi ghting personnel. Avoid spraying water directly into storage containers due to danger of boilover.
A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) should be used for all indoor fi res and any signifi cant
outdoor fi res. For small outdoor fi res, which may easily be extinguished with a portable fi re extinguisher,
use of an SCBA may not be required.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and traces of
