4. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
NATURE OF HAZARD:
INHALATION: Negligible hazard at normal temperatures (up to 38 deg. C). Elevated
temperatures or mechanical action may form vapours, mists or fumes which may be
irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Avoid breathing vapours or mists.
EYE CONTACT: Slightly irritating, but will not injure eye tissue.
SKIN CONTACT: Low toxicity. Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate the skin.
INGESTION: Low toxicity.
ACUTE TOXICITY DATA: Based on animal testing data from similar materials and
products, the acute toxicity of this product is expected to be:
Oral: LD50 > 5000 mg/kg (rat)
Dermal: LD50 > 3160 mg/kg (rabbit)
Inhalation: LC50 > 5000 mg/m3 (rat)
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT:
ACGIH recommends: For oil mists, 5 mg/m3. Local regulated limits may vary.
5. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Vapour pressure of this material is low and as such inhalation under
normal conditions is usually not a problem. If overexposed to oil mist, remove from
further exposure. Administer artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Keep at
rest. Call for prompt medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. If
irritation persists, get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Flush with large amounts of water. Use soap if available. Remove
severely contaminated clothing (including shoes) and launder before reuse. If irritation
persists, seek medical attention.
INGESTION: If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Get prompt
medical attention.
6. PREVENTIVE AND CORRECTIVE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTION: The selection of personal protective equipment varies,
depending upon conditions of use. In open systems where contact is likely, wear
safety goggles, chemical-resistant overalls, and chemically impervious gloves.
Where only incidental contact is likely, wear safety glasses with side shields. No other
special precautions are necessary provided skin/eye contact is avoided. Where
concentrations in air may exceed the occupational exposure limits given in Section 4
and where engineering, work practices or other means of exposure reduction are not
adequate, approved respirators may be necessary to prevent overexposure by
inhalation.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to
control emissions near the source. Laboratory samples should be handled in a
fumehood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces.
HANDLING, STORAGE AND SHIPPING: Keep containers closed. Handle and open
containers with care. Store in a cool, well ventilated place away from incompatible
materials. Do not handle or store near an open flame, sources of heat, or sources of
ignition. Odorous and toxic fumes may form from the decomposition of this product
if stored at temperatures in excess of 45 deg. C for extended periods of time or if heat
sources in excess of 121 deg. C are used. Empty containers may contain product
residue. Do not pressurize cut, heat, or weld empty containers. Do not reuse empty
containers without commercial cleaning or reconditioning.
LAND SPILL: Eliminate source of ignition. Keep public away. Prevent additional
discharge of material. If possible to do so without hazard. Prevent spills from entering
sewers, watercourses or low areas. Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. Recover
by pumping or by using a suitable absorbent. Consult an expert of disposal or
recovered material. Ensure disposal in compliance with government requirements and
ensure conformity to local disposal regulations. Notify the appropriate authorities
immediately. Take all additional action necessary to prevent and remedy the adverse
effects of the spill.
WATER SPILL: Remove from surface by skimming or with suitable absorbants. If
allowed by local authorities and environmental agencies, sinking and/or suitable dis-
persants may be used in unconfined waters. Consult an expert on disposal of recov-
ered material. Ensure disposal in compliance with government requirements and
ensure conformity to local disposal regulations. Notify the appropriate authorities
immediately. Take all additional action necessary to prevent and remedy the adverse
effects of the spill.
7. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flashpoint and method: 150 deg. C COC ASTM D92
Autoignition: 240 deg. C Flammable Limits: LEL: NA UEL: NA
GENERAL HAZARDS:
Low hazard; liquids may burn upon heating to temperatures at or above the flash point.
Decomposes; flammable/toxic gases will form at elevated temperatures (thermal
decomposition). Toxic gases will form upon combustion.
FIRE FIGHTING: Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect
personnel. Shut off fuel to fire.
Use foam, dry chemical or water spray to extinguish fire. Respiratory and eye
protection required for fire fighting personnel. Avoid spraying water directly into
storage containers due to danger of boilover. A self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) should be used for all indoor fires and any significant outdoor fires. For small
outdoor fires, which may easily be extinguished with a portable fire extinguisher, use
of an SCBA may not be required.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
and traces of oxides of sulphur. Alkyl mercaptans and sulfides may also be released.
8. REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: This product is stable. Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS AND CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Strong oxidizing agents.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION: Fumes, smoke, carbon monoxide and sulphur
oxides in case of imcomplete combustion.
9. NOTES
All components of this product are listed on the U.S. TSCA inventory.
