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.
