Aspiration hazard:
Viscosity
Kinematic viscosity > 20.5 mm2/s.
The product viscosity is greater than the upper limit assigned for classification. The product contains mineral oil. If aspirated into the lungs
e.g. through vomitting after ingestion admit to hospital immediately.
General information
This product has low toxicity. Only large volumes may have adverse impact on human health.
Inhalation
Unlikely to be hazardous by inhalation because of the low vapour pressure of the substance at ambient temperature.
Ingestion
No harmful effects expected in amounts likely to be ingested by accident.
Skin contact
Skin irritation is not anticipated when used normally. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Eye contact
May cause temporary eye irritation.
Specific effects
Prolonged or repeated contact with used oil may cause serious skin diseases, such as dermatitis and skin cancer.
SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity
Based on available data the classification criteria are not met. Not regarded as dangerous for the environment.
12.1. Toxicity
Acute Fish Toxicity
Based on available data the classification criteria are not met. Not considered toxic to fish.
Based on available data the classification criteria are not met.
12.2. Persistence and degradability
The product contains mineral oil which has limited biodegradability in CEC test methods but will biodegrade slowly in aerobic water and
sediments and is considered ultimately biodegradable.
Degradability
The product is not readily biodegradable.
The product is based on highly refined mineral oils that are considered stable to hydrolysis.
The product is not considered readily biodegradeable, albeit the major constituents are expected to ultimately biodegrade.
Biological Oxygen Demand
Not determined.
Chemical Oxygen Demand
Not determined.
12.3. Bioaccumulative potential
Bioaccumulative potential
Bioaccumulation is unlikely to be significant because of the low water solubility of this product.
Bioaccumulation factor
Not known.
Partition coefficient
Not determined.
log Kow > 6
The above figure is typical of mineral oil.
12.4. Mobility in soil
Mobility:
The product is non-volatile. The product is insoluble in water and will spread on the water surface.
Henry's Law Constant
Not determined.
12.5. Results of PBT and vPvB assessment
This product does not contain any PBT or vPvB substances.
12.6. Other adverse effects
None known.
