4. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
NATURE OF HAZARD:
INHALATION: Negligible hazard at normal temperatures (up to 38 deg. C). Elevated tem-
peratures 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 prod-
ucts, 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 nor-
mal conditions is usually not a problem. If overexposed to oil mist, remove from further
exposure. Administer artifi cial 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 irrita-
tion 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 precau-
tions 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 respi-
rators 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 fume
hood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confi ned spaces.
HANDLING, STORAGE AND SHIPPING: Keep containers closed. Handle and open
containers with care. Store in a cool, well ventilated place away from incompatible materi-
als. Do not handle or store near an open fl ame, 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 dis-
charge 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 con-
formity 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 absorbents. If allowed
by local authorities and environmental agencies, sinking and/or suitable dispersants
may be used in unconfi ned waters. Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material.
Ensure disposal in compliance with government requirements and ensure conformity
to local disposal regulations. Notify the appropriate authorities immediately. Take all ad-
ditional action necessary to prevent and remedy the adverse effects of the spill.
7. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flash point and method: 178 deg. C COC D92
Auto ignition: NA
Flammable Limits: LEL: NA UEL: NA
GENERAL HAZARDS:
Low hazard; liquids may burn upon heating to temperatures at or above the fl ash point.
Decomposes; fl ammable/toxic gases will form at elevated temperatures (thermal decom-
position). Toxic gases will form upon combustion.
FIRE FIGHTING: Use water spray to cool fi re exposed surfaces and to protect personnel.
Shut off fuel to fi re.
Use foam, dry chemical or water spray to extinguish fi re. Respiratory and eye protection
required for fi re fi ghting personnel. Avoid spraying water directly into storage contain-
ers due to danger of boil over. A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) should be
used for all indoor fi res and any signifi cant outdoor fi res. For small outdoor fi res, which
may easily be extinguished with a portable fi re 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 sulfi des 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: Smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of
sulphur and phosphorus. Alkyl mercaptans and sulfi des may also be released.
