| SECTION 2: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION | |
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
AS DEFINED BY OSHA'S HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD, THIS PRODUCT IS
NON-HAZARDOUS.
APPEARANCE & ODOR:
AMBER SEMI-SOLID TO SOLID GREASE WITH A FAINT PETROLEUM ODOR
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
ACUTE EFFECTS:
EYE: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION.
SKIN: REPEATED OR PROLONGED CONTACT CAN RESULT IN DRYING OF THE SKIN.
INHALATION:
HEATING CAN GENERATE VAPORS THAT MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, NAUSEA,
AND HEADACHES. INHALATION HAZARD AT ROOM TEMPERATURE IS UNLIKELY DUE TO THE
LOW VOLATILITY OF THIS PRODUCT.
INGESTION:
CAN CAUSE STOMACH ACHE AND VOMITING. MAIN HAZARD, IF INGESTED, IS ASPIRATION
INTO THE LUNGS AND SUBSEQUENT PNEUMONITIS.
CHRONIC EFFECTS: UNKNOWN
TARGET ORGANS: NONE KNOWN
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: SKIN OR RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS

| SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYE CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. CALL A PHYSICIAN IF
IRRITATION PERSISTS.
SKIN CONTACT:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER.
CALL A PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING PRIOR
TO RE-USE.
INHALATION:
REMOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR. KEEP PERSON CALM. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT GIVE OXYGEN. CALL A
PHYSICIAN.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA:
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
CO2, DRY CHEMICAL, SAND, DOLOMITE, ALCOHOL RESISTANT FOAM, WATER SPRAY
PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION: OXIDES OF CARBON
EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
CONTAINERS, WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT FROM FIRE, MAY BUILD PRESSURE AND RUPTURE.
PROTECTION OF FIRE-FIGHTERS:
FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED, NIOSH-APPROVED BREATHING APPARATUS
FOR PROTECTION AGAINST SUFFOCATION AND POSSIBLE TOXIC DECOMPOSITION
PRODUCTS. PROPER EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION SHOULD BE PROVIDED. USE WATER SPRAY
TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL AND TO KNOCK DOWN VAPORS WHICH MAY
RESULT FROM PRODUCT DECOMPOSITION. AVOID WATER IN STRAIGHT HOSE STREAM AS IT
WILL SCATTER AND SPREAD FIRE.
| SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
USE PERSONAL PROTECTION RECOMMENDED IN SECTION 8. MINIMIZE SKIN CONTACT
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF GROUND AND SURFACE WATERS. DO
NOT FLUSH INTO SEWERS OR STORM DRAINS. ADVISE AUTHORITIES IF PRODUCT HAS
ENTERED WATERWAYS.
METHODS FOR CONTAINMENT & CLEAN-UP:
VENTILATE THE AREA WITH FRESH AIR. IF IN CONFINED SPACE OR LIMITED AIR
CIRCULATION AREA, CLEAN-UP WORKERS SHOULD WEAR APPROPRIATE RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION. WIPE UP SPILLED MATERIAL. PLACE USED ABSORBENTS INTO PROPER
WASTE CONTAINERS.
| SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING PROCEDURES:
KEEP CONTAINER AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, AND OPEN FLAME. HIGH TEMPERATURES
MAY PRODUCE IRRITATING VAPORS. EYE WASH STATION SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AT WORK
PLACE. KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. VENTILATE WELL, ESPECIALLY
IN WARMER ENVIRONMENTS. FOR PRODUCT USE INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE SEE THE PRODUCT
LABEL.
STORAGE PROCEDURES:
STORE IN A COOL DRY AREA OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT. CONTAINERS SHOULD BE
TIGHTLY CLOSED WHILE IN STORAGE. STORE SEPARATED FROM ACIDS, AND OXIDIZING
MATERIALS. STORE AWAY FROM SPARKS AND OPEN FLAME.
AEROSOL STORAGE LEVEL: NA

CONTROLS AND PROTECTION:
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
AREA SHOULD HAVE VENTILATION TO PROVIDE FRESH AIR. LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION
IS GENERALLY PREFERRED BECAUSE IT CAN CONTROL THE EMISSIONS OF THE
CONTAMINANT AT THE SOURCE, PREVENTING DISPERSION INTO THE GENERAL WORK AREA.
USE MECHANICAL MEANS IF NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN VAPOR LEVELS BELOW THE
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES. IF WORKING IN A CONFINED SPACE, FOLLOW APPLICABLE OSHA
REGULATIONS.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
NONE REQUIRED FOR NORMAL WORK WHERE ADEQUATE VENTILATION IS PROVIDED. IF
ENGINEERING CONTROLS ARE NOT FEASIBLE OR IF EXPOSURE EXCEEDS THE APPLICABLE
EXPOSURE LIMITS, USE A NIOSH-APPROVED CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR WITH ORGANIC
VAPOR CARTRIDGE. AIR MONITORING IS NEEDED TO DETERMINE ACTUAL EMPLOYEE
EXPOSURE LEVELS. USE A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IN CONFINED
SPACES AND FOR EMERGENCIES.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION: FOR NORMAL CONDITIONS, WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
SKIN PROTECTION:
USE PROTECTIVE GLOVES SUCH AS NEOPRENE OR NITRILE. ALSO, USE FULL PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING IF THERE IS PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT OF MATERIAL WITH SKIN.
