in Air
NFPA Ratings- Health: 1 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0 Special: -
NPCA-HMIS Ratings- Health: 1 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0
Extinguishing Media:
Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or CO2. Do not use a direct
stream of water. Product will float, and be reignited on surface of water.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures and Precautions:
Material will not burn unless preheated. Do not enter confined fire-space
without full bunker gear (Helmet with face shield, bunker coats, gloves and
rubber boots), including a positive-pressure NIOSH-Approved self-contained
breathing apparatus. Cool fire exposed containers with water.
5. REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Stable
Hazardous Polymerization: Will Not Occur
Conditions and Materials to Avoid: Avoid heat, open flames and oxidizing
materials.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Thermal decomposition products are highly dependent on the combustion
conditions. A complex mixture of airborne solid, liquid, particulate and gases
will evolve when this material undergoes pyrolysis or combustion. Carbon
monoxide and other unidentified organic compounds may be formed upon combustion.
6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA
The health effects noted below are consistent with requirements under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910, 1200).
Eye Contact: Lubricating oils are general considered no more than minimally irritating to
the eyes.
Skin Contact: Lubricating oils are generally considered no more than mildly irritating to
the skin. Prolonged and repeated contact may result in various skin disorders
such as Dermatitis, Folliculitis or Oil Acne.
Inhalation: Inhalation of vapor (generated at high temperatures only) or oil mist from
this product may result in mild irritation of the upper respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Lubricating oils are generally considered no more than slightly toxic if
swallowed.
Signed and symptoms: Irritation as noted above.
Aggravated Medical Conditions: Preexisting skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to
this product.
Other Health Effects: The international agency for research on cancer has determined there is
sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity on experimental animals of used
motor (crankcase) oil. Handling procedures and safety precautions in the MSDS
should be followed to minimize employee’s exposure to the product if used as a
lubricating oil in a gasoline combustion engine.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eye Contact – Flush with water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids
open. Get Medical attention.
Skin Contact - Remove contaminated clothing and wipe excess off. Wash
with sopa and water or a waterless hand cleaner followed by soap and
water. If irritation occurs, get medical attention.
Inhalation – Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is
difficult. Get medical attention
Ingestion – Do Not induce vomiting. In general, not treatment
is necessary unless large quantities of product are ingested. However, get
medical attention.
Note to Physician – In general, Emesis Induction is unnecessary in high
viscosity, low volatility products, I.E., most oils and greases.
7. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Spill or Leak Precautions: May burn although not readily ignitable. Use cautious judgement when cleaning up large spills. ***Large Spills*** Wear respirator and protective clothing as appropriate. Shut off source of leak. If safe to do so, dike and contain. Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage salvage vessels. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand, or other suitable materials; dispose of properly. Flush are with water to remove trace residue. ***Small Spills*** Take up with an absorbent material and dispose of properly.
Waste Disposal: Place in an appropriate disposal facility in compliance with local regulations.
Environmental Hazards: This product is classified as an oil under section 311 of the Clean Water Act. Spills entering (A) surface waters of (B) any water courses or sewers entering/leading to surface waters that cause a sheen must be reported to the nearest local Environmental Protection Agency Office.
8. CONTROL MEASURESMinimize skin contact. Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse, properly dispose of contaminated leather articles, including shoes that cannot be decontaminated.
Store in a cool dry place with adequate ventilation. Keep away form open flames and high temperatures.
Respiratory Protection:
If exposure may or does exceed occupational exposure limits (Section 2) use
NIOSH-Approved respirator to prevent overexposure. In accord with 29 DFR
1910.134 use either an atmosphere-supplying respirator or an air-purifying
respirator for organic vapors and particulate.
Protective clothing:
Wear chemical resistant gloves and other protective clothing as required to
minimize skin contact. Wear safety goggles to avoid eye contact. Test data from
published literature and/or glove and clothing manufacturers indicate the best
protection is provided by nitrile gloves.
