SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION


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.
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 recommended 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. As a precaution, remove contact lenses, if
worn, and flush eyes with water.
Skin: No specific first aid measures are required. 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. Do not induce vomiting. As a
precaution, get medical advice.
Inhalation: No specific first aid measures are required. 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: 0 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0

FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES:
Flashpoint: (Cleveland Open Cup) 230 C (446 F) (Min)
Autoignition: No Data Available
Flammability (Explosive) Limits (% by volume in ai r): Lower: Not Applicable Upper:
Not Applicable

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 self-contained 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 non-combustible 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 and accumulating an 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 Warnings: 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 in the workplace. Suggested materials for protective
gloves include: 4H (PE/EVAL), 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
occupational exposure limit for mineral oil mist. If not, wear an 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 in circumstances where air-purifying
respirators may not provide adequate protection.

ADDITIONAL TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION:
This product contains petroleum base oils which may be refined by various processes
including severe solvent extraction, severe hydrocracking, or severe hydrotreating. None of
the oils requires a cancer warning under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29
CFR 1910.1200). These oils have not been listed in the National Toxicology Program (NTP)
Annual Report nor have they been classified by the International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC) as; carcinogenic to humans (Group 1), probably carcinogenic to humans
(Group 2A), or possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). These oils have not been
classified by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) as:
confirmed human carcinogen (A1), suspected human carcinogen (A2), or confirmed animal
carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans (A3).

During use in engines, contamination of oil with low levels of cancer-causing combustion
products occurs. Used motor oils have been shown to cause skin cancer in mice following
repeated application and continuous exposure. Brief or intermittent skin contact with used
motor oil is not expected to have serious effects in humans if the oil is thoroughly removed by
washing with soap and water.
