SECTION 10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability: Stable under normal ambient and anticipated conditions of use.
Conditions to Avoid: Extended exposure to high temperatures can cause decomposition. Avoid all
possible sources of ignition.
Materials to Avoid (Incompatible Materials): Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents and strong
reducing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Not anticipated under normal conditions of use.
Hazardous Polymerization: Not known to occur.
SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
CHRONIC TOXICITY:
Lubricant Base Oil (Petroleum)
Carcinogenicity: The petroleum base oils contained in this product have been highly refined by a
variety of processes including severe hydrocracking/hydroprocessing to reduce aromatics and improve
performance characteristics. All of the oils meet the IP-346 criteria of less than 3 percent PAH’s and are
not considered carcinogens by NTP, IARC, or OSHA.
ACUTE TOXICITY:
COMPONENT ORAL LD50 DERMAL LD50 INHALATION LC50
Lubricant Base Oil
(Petroleum)
> 5 g/kg > 2 g/kg > 5 mg/L
Calcium
Dodecylbenzenesulfonate
1,300 mg/kg No data No data
SECTION 12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity: Experimental studies show that acute aquatic toxicity values are greater than 1000 mg/l.
These values are consistent with the predicted aquatic toxicity of these substances based on their
hydrocarbon compositions. However, there is insufficient information available on the toxicity of the
thickening agents used in greases. Should therefore be regarded as capable of causing long term
adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Mobility: Volatilization to air is not expected to be a significant fate process due to the low vapor
pressure of this material.
Components may behave differently in the aquatic environment with soaps dispersing and dissolving
to some extent in water while the hydrocarbons will float on the surface due to their low water
solubility. The hydrocarbon portion would be expected to show low mobility in soil and water. The major
environmental fate would be expected to be biodegradion.
