5. HEALTH HAZARD DATA

-Permissible Exposure Level:

TWA = 5 mg/M3; STEL = 10 mg/M3 – As Oil Mist—Respiratory Irritant. See section 2 for concise information concerning ingredients having a PEL.

Effects of Overexposure:

Inhalation: Not expected to be acutely toxic by inhalation. Breathing petroleum oil mist at concentrations in air that exceed the recommended exposure standard can cause respiratory irritation or discomfort.

Skin: Under normal conditions of use, no adverse health effects are expected upon short term contact. Prolonged or repeated contact may produce skin irritation and inflammation. Primary hazard associated with grease in high pressure gun. If injected under skin, necrosis could result.

Eyes: Under normal conditions of use, expected to cause no more than minor, if any, eye irritation based on data from components.

Swallowing/Ingestion: May cause irritation, nausea or diarrhea. Possible aspiration hazard.

Medical conditions generally aggravated by exposure: None known, but may aggravate previously existing skin disorders. Not listed by IARC, NTP, or OSHA as a possible carcinogen.

First Aid:

Inhalation: If respiratory discomfort or irritation occurs, move person to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration and get medical attention immediately.

Skin: Wash exposed portion with soap and water. Launder soiled clothes before reuse. If injected under skin get medical attention immediately.

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with water for a minimum of 15 minutes occasionally lifting the lower and upper lids. If film or irritation persists, seek medical attention.

Swallowing / Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; contact a physician.

6. REACTIVITY DATA

Stability: stable Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
Incompatibility: Strong oxidizers.
Conditions to Avoid: Avoid conditions that could generate an oil mist. Do not expose the product to strong oxidizers or excessive heat. Avoid prolonged and or repeated skin contact.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Incomplete combustion can yield carbon (smoke), carbon monoxides, various hydrocarbons and oxide of Zinc. Other toxic gases, vapors or solid residues may evolve on burning.

7. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES

Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: pick-up and place in container for disposal.
Waste disposal method: Not an EPA hazardous waste: Utilize licensed waste disposal company. Consider recycling or controlled incineration. Utilize permitted industrial waste disposal site. Follow all local, state and federal guidelines.

8. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION

Respiratory Protection: Up to 25mg/M3, half-mask organic vapor respirator. Up to 50mg/m3, full-face organic vapor respirator or full-face self-contained respirator. Greater than 50mg/M3, firefighting or unknown concentration, use self-contained breathing apparatus with positive pressure.
Ventilation: Maintain local or dilution ventilation to keep air concentration below TLV/PEL. Request assistance of safety and industrial hygiene personnel to determine air concentration.
Protective Gloves: For prolonged or repeated contact use nitrile or neoprene gloves or other material resistant to petroleum oils.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses, chemical goggles or face shield as appropriate for exposure.
Other Protective Equipment: None normally required.

9. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

Precautions to be taken in handling and storing: Store clean, dry, below 120oF (50oC) to preserve for intended use. Do not store with strong oxidizers.
Recommended consumer warning: Contains petroleum hydrocarbon lubricant and organic zinc compound. May cause eye or skin irritation. In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with water for a minimum of 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the lower an upper lids. If film or irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash skin with soap and water. May be harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Use only with adequate ventilation. If ingested, do not induce vomiting; contact a physician. Keep away from children!
Recommended OSHA warning: Contains petroleum hydrocarbon lubricant and organometallic zinc. May cause eye or skin irritation. May be harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Use only with adequate ventilation.

First Aid:

Inhalation – Remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration and get medical attention immediately.

Ingestion – Do not induce vomiting; contact a physician.

Eye Contact – Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If film or irritation persists, seek medical attention.
