In general, the product contain components that may be a significant health and safety hazard thus proper
handling petroleum products and observing precautions must be observed and good standards of industrial and
personal hygiene must be maintained.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact Immediately flush eyes with large amount of water for at least 15 minutes
or until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, get prompt medical
attention.
Skin Contact Immediately flush with large amount of water; use soap if available.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes, and launder before reuse.
Ingestion If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. If individual is conscious, give milk
or water to dilute stomach contents. Keep warm and quiet. Get immediate
medical attention. DO NOT attempt to give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
Inhalation This product is not expected to present an inhalation problem at ambient
temperature. However, if overexposed to oil mist, using proper respiratory
protection, immediately remove the affected person immediately to fresh
air. Administer artificial respiration if breathing is stopped. Keep at rest.
Call for prompt medical attention.
SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media In case of fire use foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical extinguishers.
Special Fire-fighting Procedures Water jets should not be used directly on igniting products. Avoid spraying
water directly into storage containers due to danger of over-boil.
However, water may be used to cool exposed containers, structures and
equipment adjacent to fire. Respiratory and eye protection required for
fire-fighting personnel.
Decomposition Products Fumes, smoke, oxides of sulfur, nitrogen, carbon and other toxic gases
Under Fire Conditions may be formed.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Land Spill Taking normal safety precaution, eliminate sources of ignition. Prevent
additional discharge of material, if possible to do so without hazard. For
small spills, implement cleanup procedures. For large spills, implement
clean-up procedures and, if in public area, keep public away and advise
authorities. Prevent material from entering sewers, water courses, or low
areas. Contain spilled material with sand or earth. Recover by scraping.
Revision 5
Issue Date: 01/2013
Page 3 of 8
Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and ensure conformity
to local disposal regulations.
Water Spill Use booms to confine spills immediately. Remove from water surface by
skimming or with suitable adsorbents. If allowed by local authorities and
environmental agencies, sinking and/or suitable dispersants may be used in
non-confined waters. Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material
and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Procedures Keep away from potential sources of ignition. Open container in a well
ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapors. Keep containers closed when not
in use. Wash thoroughly after handling. “Empty” containers with retained
product residue (liquid or vapor) can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut,
weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose containers to heat, flame,
sparks, static electricity or other sources of ignition; they may explode and
cause death or injury. Empty drums should be completely drained,
properly bunged and promptly returned to a drum re-conditioner, or
properly disposed off.
Storage Procedures Store in a cool dry place with adequate ventilation. Keep at temperature
not exceeding 50°C. Keep containers away from sparks, flame and strong
oxidants.

Personal Protection
Ventilation Procedures The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control mists or
vapors. Additional ventilation or exhaust may be required to maintain air
concentrations below exposure limits.
Respiratory Protection Respiratory protection is not required under conditions of normal use. If
vapor or mist generated when the materials are heated or handled, use an
organic vapor respirator with dust and mist filter. All respirators must be

NIOSH certified. Do not use compressed oxygen in hydrocarbon
atmospheres.
Skin Protection No skin protection is required for single, short duration, exposures. For
prolonged, repeated exposures and if handling hot materials, use
impervious clothing (boots, aprons, etc.) over parts of the body subject to
exposure.
Eye Protection Eye protection is not required under conditions of normal use. If materials
are handled such that they could be splashed into the eyes, wear plastic
face shield or splash-proof safety goggles.
Others Consumption of food and beverage should be avoided in work areas where
hydrocarbons are present. Always wash hands and face with soap and
water before eating and drinking.

Inhalation Product is not expected to present an inhalation hazard at ambient
conditions. Caution should be taken to prevent misting of this product.
Exposures below 5 mg/m3 appear to be without significant health risk.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity Greases consist of solid or semi-solid dispersions of metallic soaps and
other thickeners in base oils. Long-term exposure to small doses of base
oil by inhalation, aspiration or ingestion can lead to lipid pneumonia or
lipid granuloma of the lung. These are low-grade, chronic, localized tissue
reactions. Shortness of breath and cough are most common symptoms.
