3. Hazards identification

Classification: No classification needed according to 67/548/EC and 1999/45/EC.


Human Health: Inhalation of vapours and/or mists might irritate respiratory tract.
Prolonged skin contact will cause defatting and possible irritation.
Eye contact might cause irritation.
Environment: Slow biodegradation, the product will remain for long time in the
environment. Risk for contamination of earth, soil and water.
Physical and chemical At elevated temperatures flammable vapours and decomposition
hazard: products will be released. Risk for slippery floors if spilled out.

First Aid Measures


4.

General advice:
Inhalation: If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapours occur causing irritation,
move to fresh air. If the symptoms persist, obtain medical advice.
Skin contact: Remove immediately adhering matter and wash off with soap and
plenty of water.
Eye contact: Rinse with plenty of water.
Ingestion: Clean mouth with water. Obtain medical advice if a large amount has
been swallowed. Do not induce vomiting.
Fire-fighting Measures
5.

Suitable extinguishing Extinguish preferably with dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO2 ), or
media: foam. Waterspray / mist may be used.
Extinguishing media which Water jet, unless used by authorised people.(Stain risk caused by
must not be used for safety combustion).
reasons:

Accidental Release Measures


6.

Personal precautions: Suitable protection equipment should be used. In case of large


spillage, the cleaning procedure should be carried out using suitable
protective clothing such as overall, gloves and boots. Remove
contaminated clothes as soon as possible.
Smaller spillage can be wiped up with paper cloths, using protective
gloves.
Environmental precautions: Prevent spills to enter and spread to drains, sewers, water courses,
and soil. Contact local safety authorities.
Methods for cleaning up: Absorb leaking product with sand, earth or other suitable inert
material and collect. Disposal according to section 13.

Handling and Storage


7.

Handling: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety


practices. If handled at elevated temperatures or with high speed
mechanical equipment, vapours or mists might be released and
require a well ventilated workplace.
Storage: Store at ambient temperature or with lowest necessary heating as
handling requires.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection


Control parameters: Exposure via the air and normal handling.
Chemical name: Mineral oil.
Short term value: 5 mg/m3. TLV-TWA 8 hours ACGIH (1998).
Engineering measures to Mechanical ventilation and local exhaust will reduce exposure via the
reduce exposure: air. Use oil resistant material in construction of handling equipment.
Store under recommended conditions and if heated, temperature
control equipment should be used to avoid overheating.

Personal protection equipment:

- Respiratory protection: If the product is heated under manual handling, use suitable mask
with filter A1P2 or A2P2. Handling in automatic production lines,
with exhaust or ventilation, will not require mask.
- Hand protection: Wear oil-resistant protective gloves if there is a risk of repeated skin
contact. Suitable gloves are neoprene, nitrile- or acrylnitrilebutadiene
rubber, or PVC. Take notice of CEN 420:94, CEN 374:1-3:94 and
CEN 388:94.
- Eye protection: Wear safety goggles / safe shield if splashes may occur.
- Skin and body protection: Wear protective clothing if there is a risk of skin contact and change
them frequently, or when contaminated.
Hygienic measures: Act in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Stability and Reactivity


10.

Stability: Stable at normal conditions. Start to decompose at 250°C or higher.


Avoid: Excessive heating and highly oxidizing agents.
Hazardous decomposition Flammable gases which might also be noxious. With air present,
products: there is a risk for auto ignition at temperatures >270°C.

Toxicological Information
11.
Acute toxicity: Studies available indicate oral and dermal LD50 s of >5 000 mg/kg
which is considered as low acute toxicity.
Local effects:
- Inhalation: Prolonged and repeated inhalation of mist or vapour generated at
elevated temperatures may irritate respiratory tract.
- Oral: May cause nausea and eventually vomiting and diarrhoea.
- Skin contact: Prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to defatting of the skin and
subsequent irritation.
- Eye contact: May cause redness and transient pain.
- Sensitisation: Studies indicate no evidence of sensitisation.

12. Ecological Information

Mobility: Low, due to low water solubility.


Persistence/degradability: The baseoil is not readily biodegradable. Substances may not meet
criteria for ready biodegradability. Studies indicate inherent,
primary
biodegradation in the range of 20-60 % based on carbondioxide
evolution.
Bio-accumulation: Base oil has Log Pow in the range >3,9->6,0.
Log Pow is used for estimating the bioacccumulation in fish. A value
>3,0 indicates possible bioaccumulation. The size of the hydrocarbon
molecules reduces the risk for bioaccumulation.
Ecotoxicity: Aquatic toxicity data on base oils indicate LC50 values of >1 000
mg/l, which is considered as low toxicity. Chronic toxicity studies
shows no long-term hazard to the aquatic environment.
Disposal Considerations
13.

Residues of unused product is not regarded as hazardous waste. Residues of products/packageing


must not be disposed of in the environment, but taken care of in accordance with local regulations.

Emptying instructions:

Barrels and equals: Turn the barrel upside down and tilt it approximately 10° until nondripping.
Nondripping is less than one drop / minute at 15 °C. The product viscosity depends on temperature,
and it is important that the emptying not is done at to low temperature. It can be necessary to
scrape out highviscous products.
When the barrel is nondripping send it for recycling. If the residue volume is more than 1% send it
for destruction of barrels. Empty barrels with < 1 % residue is not dangerous goods. Notify local
regulations.

Bags for one way use/multiple use: Follow instructions given by the bag manufacturer. The last
residues in the bag can be removed by placing the hose over the remaining residues or by lifting the
bag so the product can run towards the hose.
Bottom residues; roll up the bag towards the hose to press out the oil
One way bags of polyethylene can be recycled or disposed of by incineration. Notify local
regulations.

14. Transport Information
