PRODUCT HEALTH AND SAFETY DATA SHEET

(MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET - U.S.)

"Not a WHMIS Controlled Product"

 

 

 

 

 

Section 1:  Description and Application

A hydrocarbon lubricating oil used for mixing with other lubrication oils.

 

Section 2:  Health Information and Protection – Nature of Hazard

Inhalation:  No special respiratory protection is normally required. If mist generated by heating, spraying, etc., wear an organic vapor respirator with a mist filter. All respirators must be NIOSH approved.

Eye contact:  Slightly irritating but does not cause eye tissue damage. In case of splashing wear chemical splash goggles.

Skin Contact:  Very low order of toxicity by skin absorption.  However, frequent or prolonged contact may irritate skin and cause dermatitis.

Ingestion:  Low order of toxicity.

HMIS Rating:  Health - 1, Flammability - 1, Reactivity - 0, Protection - B.

Occupational Exposure Limit:  For oil mists, 5mg/m3 recommended based on the ACGIH TLV.

Precautions:  In blending operation, at elevated temperatures, or during air blowing, adequate ventilation should be provided to maintain the oil mist concentration below the recommended TLV.

 

Section 3:  First Aid

Inhalation:  Not applicable due to low volatility of product.

Eye Contact:  Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Skin Contact:  Wash with soap and water.

Ingestion:  Normally no action required.  If quantity ingested is large, DO NOT induce vomiting, call a Physician. Has laxative effect-quickly eliminated.

Note to Physician:  Prevent further absorption by administering charcoal slurry, aqueous mixed with saline cathartic or sorbitol. The FDA suggested 240 ml of diluent/30g of charcoal. Usual charcoal dose is 30 to 100g in adults, 15 to 30g in children and 1 to 2g/kg in infants.

 

Section 4: Fire and Explosive Hazard Data

Flash Point:  255 C.

Hazardous products of combustion:  Smoke, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

 

Section 5:  Fire Fighting

Respirators and eye protection required for fire fighters. If possible to do, safely shut off fuel at source.

Extinguishing Agents:  Dry chemical, foam, fog nozzle, water spray or carbon dioxide. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed surfaces and to protect personnel. When using water spray, boil over may occur when the product temperature reaches the boiling point of water.

 

Section 6:  Spillage Clean-up and Disposal Procedure

Clean-up:  Stop leak if without risk. Contain spill. Pump up or soak up with sand, cotton waste or other absorbent.

Disposal:  Incineration or use waste disposal service. Prevent from entering watercourse or sewers. Sweep or scrape up into suitable container for recycle or disposal.

 

Section 7:  Reactivity Data

Stability:  Stable

Materials/Conditions to avoid:  Strong oxidizing agents.

Hazardous decomposition or polymerization products:  Smoke, Carbon Dioxide and fumes.

 

Section 8:  Storage

Keep container closed. Store in cool, dry area well removed from strong oxidizing and sources of ignition. The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control emissions near the source.
