Occupational Control Procedures
Eyes: Chemical type goggles or face shield optional.
Skin: Exposed employees should exercise reasonable
personal cleanliness; this includes cleansing exposed skin areas several
times daily with soap and water, and laundering or dry cleaning soiled work clothing at least weekly.
Inhalation: If vapor, mist or dust is generated in
excess of permissible concentrations use respirator approved by MSHA or
NIOSH.
Ventilation: Adequate to meet permissible concentrations.
Permissible Concentrations:
Air: 5 mg/m3 for mineral oil mist
averaged over an 8 hour daily exposure (OSHA PEL, ACGIH TLV-TWA).
Emergency And First Aid Procedures
Eyes: As with most foreign materials, should eye contact
occur, flush eyes with plenty of water.
Skin: Wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Ingestion: None considered necessary.
Inhalation: If irritation or drowsiness occurs, remove
to fresh air.
Other Instructions: None.

Fire Protection Information
Ignition Temp, F: N.D.
Flash Point, F, (Method): 410 F (COC)
Flammable Limits (%): Lower: N.D. Upper: N.D.
Products Evolved When Subjected to Heat or Combustion: Carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, aldehydes and ketones,
combustion products of nitrogen and sulfur.
Recommended Fire Extinguishing Agents and Special Procedure: According to the National Fire Protection Association
Guide, use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide. Water or foam may cause frothing. Use
water to cool fire-exposed containers. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to
disperse the vapors and to provide protection for
persons attempting to stop the leak.
Unusual or Explosive Hazards: None.
Environmental Protection
Waste Disposal Method: Under RCRA, it
is the responsibility of the user of the products to determine, at the time of
disposal, whether the product meets RCRA criteria for hazardous waste. This is because product
user, transformations,
mixture, processes, etc. may render the resulting material hazardous. (See remarks for Waste Classification.)
Procedure in Case of Breakage or Leakage: Contain spill if possible. Wipe up or absorb on suitable material and shovel up.
Remarks: Waste Classification: Product
has been evaluated for RCRA characteristics and does not meet criteria of a
hazardous waste if discarded in its purchased form.
Precautions
None considered necessary.
Requirements for Transportation, Handling, and Storage: Minimum feasible handling temperatures should be maintained.
Periods of exposure to high temperatures should be minimized. Water contamination
should be avoided.
