The precise composition of this product mixture in confidential proprietary information. A more detailed disclosure will be provided by us to qualified medical or industrial hygiene personnel as privileged information upon request in case of emergency or need for specific treatment. This MSDS has been prepared in compliance with the Federal OSHA hazard communication standard 29CFR1910.1200. This product is considered non-hazardous under that standard.
WARNING: This product contains 1.0%-1.4% zinc compounds (CAS# Mixture, NA)
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYE CONTACT: May cause mild eye irritation. Direct contact with liquid may cause stinging, tearing, redness, and may injure eye tissue if not removed promptly.
SKIN CONTACT: May cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause dermatitis, redness, burning, drying, defatting, and cracking of the skin.
INHALATION: This material is expected to have a low degree of toxicity by inhalation. Breathing high concentrations of vapors or mists may cause irritation of the nose and throat. Warning: if this material is overheated, especially in the presence of water, hydrogen sulfide may be released; this can cause respiratory collapse, coma, and death without necessarily any warning odor being sensed.
INGESTION: While this product has a low degree of toxicity, ingestion of excessive quantities may cause irritation of the digestive tract
EYE CONTACT: If irritation or redness due to vapors develops, move victim away from exposure and into fresh air. If splashed into the eyes, flush eyes immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes. If available, use eye cups or eye wash fountain. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Clean affected areas with mild soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing, including shoes, and launder before reuse or discard.
INHALATION: If respiratory symptoms develop, move victim away from source of exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, get medical attention. If victim is not breathing immediately begin artificial respiration. If breathing difficulties develop, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Get medical attention.
INGESTION: DO NOT induce vomiting If victim is conscious, give milk or water to dilute stomach contents. Do not give sodium bicarbonate, fruit juices, or vinegar. Keep warm and quiet. Do not attempt to give by mouth anything to an unconscious person. If possible, do not leave victim unattended. Get prompt medical attention.
FLASH POINT: ND, > 356F, 180C lube oil mixture
FIRE POINT: ND
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR, % Volume, LOWER: ND UPPER: ND
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: ND
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: Poses low fire hazard. Liquid can burn upon heating to temperatures at or above the flashpoint. Exposure to excessive heat, extreme temperatures, and fire builds up pressure in closed containers and they may burst or explode. "Empty" containers retain liquid and/or vapor residue and can be dangerous. DO NOT pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to sources of ignition. They may explode causing injury or death.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA AND FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical, or water spray may be used to extinguish fire. Wear appropriate protective equipment including self contained breathing apparatus. Move undamaged containers away from fire area if it can be done without risk. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors and cooling equipment and buildings exposed to heat and flame. Individuals should perform only those fire fighting procedures for which they have been trained. Water or foam may cause frothing when applied to combustible liquids having flashpoints above 212F, 100C. This remark is included only as a precaution and does not mean that water or foam should not or could not be used in fighting fires of such liquids. The frothing may be quite violent and could endanger the life of the firefighter particularly when solid streams are directed into the hot burning liquid. On the other hand, water spray carefully applied has frequently been used with success in extinguishing such fires by causing the frothing to occur only on the surface and this foaming action blankets and extinguishes the fire.
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS: Fumes, smoke, carbon monoxide/dioxide, sulfur oxides, aldehydes, acrylate monomers, and nitrogen oxides. Wear appropriate protective equipment including self contained breathing apparatus.
SPILL ON LAND: Floor may be slippery; use caution to avoid injury due to falls. Prevent additional discharge of material, if possible to do so without risk. Minimize skin contact. For small spills implement the following cleanup procedures: Prevent liquid from entering sewers, watercourses, or low areas. Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. Recover by pumping or with a suitable absorbent. If liquid is too thick to pump, scrape up. For large spills implement the preceding cleanup procedures and, if in public area, keep public away and advise authorities. Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations.
SPILL ON WATER: Remove from surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents. If spill happens in non-confined waters material may be permitted to dissipate if allowed by local authorities and environmental agencies. Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations.
ELECTROSTATIC ACCUMULATION HAZARD: No, but use proper grounding procedures
STORAGE TEMPERATURE: Ambient
STORAGE/TRANSPORT PRESSURE: Atmospheric
LOADING/UNLOADING TEMPERATURE: Ambient
LOADING/UNLOADING VISCOSITY: 57 cSt typical @ 40C
STORAGE AND HANDLING: Keep container closed. Handle and open containers with care. Store in a cool, well ventilated place away from sources of ignition. Do not store above 155F, 70C to avoid possible release of hydrogen sulfide gas. Store only in approved containers and protect from physical damage. Storage should meet OSHA standards. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes. DO NOT handle or store near an open flame, heat, or other source of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. Empty drums contain liquid/vapor residue and can be dangerous. DO NOT pressurize, cut, heat, or weld such containers. Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly shipped to a drum reconditioner. DO NOT reuse containers without commercial cleaning or reconditioning. All other containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS: Local exhaust and mechanical ventilation are recommended for extensive use.
PERSONAL PROTECTION: For open systems where contact is likely, wear long sleeves, chemical resistant gloves, and chemical goggles. Where contact may occur, wear safety glasses with side shields. Although normally not necessary, where concentrations in air may exceed the limits given in this Section and engineering, work practice, or other means of exposure reduction are not adequate, use appropriate respiratory protection.
