This product contains mineral oils which are considered to be severly refined and not
considered to be carcinogenic under IARC. All of the oils in this product have been
demonstrated to contain less than 3% extractables by the IP346 test
No data available to suggest the product will cause reproductive toxicity.
Based on available data the classification criteria are not met.
Based on available data the classification criteria are not met.
Kinematic viscosity > 20.5 mm²/s. The product viscosity is greater than the upper limit
assigned for classification. The product contains mineral oil. If aspirated into the lungs e.g.
through vomitting after ingestion admit to hospital immediately.
This product has low toxicity. Only large quantities are likely to have adverse effects on
human health.
Unlikely to be hazardous by inhalation because of the low vapour pressure of the product at
ambient temperature.
No harmful effects expected from quantities likely to be ingested by accident.
Skin irritation should not occur when used as recommended. Repeated exposure may cause
skin dryness or cracking.
May cause temporary eye irritation.
Prolonged or repeated contact with used oil may cause serious skin diseases, such as
dermatitis and skin cancer.
Based on available data the classification criteria are not met. Not regarded as dangerous for
the environment.
Based on available data the classification criteria are not met. Not considered toxic to fish.
Based on available data the classification criteria are not met.
The product contains mineral oil which has limited biodegradability in CEC test methods but
will biodegrade slowly in aerobic water and sediments and is considered ultimately
biodegradable.
The product is based on highly refined mineral oils that are considered stable to hydrolysis.
The product is not considered readily biodegradeable, albeit the major constituents are
expected to ultimately biodegrade.
Not determined.
Not determined.
Bioaccumulation is unlikely to be significant because of the low water-solubility of this product.
Not determined. log Kow: > 7 The above figure is typical of mineral oil.
The product is non-volatile. The product is insoluble in water and will spread on the water
surface.
Not determined.
