Best to recover and recycle. If this is not possible, destruction is to be in an approved facility
which is equipped to absorb and neutralise acids and other toxic processing products.
Non-flammable at atmospheric conditions.
Fire exposed containers should be kept cool with water sprays. Containers may burst if
overheated.
Self contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing must be worn in fire conditions.
YORK 'L' Oil
Non-hazardous
Minimally irritating. No first aid necessary. Exercise reasonable personal cleanliness
including cleansing exposed skin areas several times daily with soap and water. Launder
soiled work clothes at least weekly.

Not determined.
Stable but hygroscopic - store in sealed containers.
Strong oxidisers, caustic or acid solutions, excessive heat. May degrade some paints and
rubber materials.
Not fully, Analogous compounds evolve carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other
unidentified fragments when burned. Burning may evolve irritating/noxious fumes.
Use in well ventilated areas - ventilate locally.
Goggles or face shield should be worn. Gloves not necessary, but recommended, especially
for prolonged exposure.
Wear suitable protective equipment. Especially goggles. Stop source of spill. Use absorbent
materials to soak up fluid (i.e. sand, sawdust and commercially available materials).
Incinerate the oil and all associated wastes in an approved facility in accordance with local
laws and regulations governing oily wastes.
Flash point over 300°C. Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam. Spraying water on hot or
burning liquid may cause frothing or splashing.
If a leak or spill has not ignited use water spray to disperse the vapours and to provided
protection for persons attempting to stop the leak.
Fire exposed containers should be kept cool with water sprays.
Self contained breathing apparatus should be worn in fire conditions.
Toxicity Index <10 to NES713 Issue 3 (1991): Non-hazardous, non-toxic. No first aid
necessary.
Stable.
No special handling precautions required. Dispose of according to local laws and regulations
governing non-biodegradable non-hazardous solid wastes.
Flammability rating Class 1 to BS 476 pt 7: Non-flammable. If forced to burn, combustion
products are typically over 95% carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
