Section III - HAZARDS INDENTIFICATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYE CONTACT: Irritating and may injure eye tissue if not removed

SKIN CONTACT: Low order of toxicity. Frequent or prolonged skin contact may irritate

INHALATION: Negligible hazard at ambient temperature (40 to 100F, 5 to 38C). Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Warning: if this product 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: Minimal Toxicity. Ingestion of excessive quantities may cause irritation of the digestive tract

Section IV - FIRST AID
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water. If eye irritation occurs, get medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT: Immediately flush with large amounts of water; use soap if available. Remove contaminated clothing, including shoes, and launder before reuse or discard. If skin irritation occurs, get medical attention.

INHALATION: Using proper respiratory protection, immediately remove the affected victim from exposure. If breathing has stopped administer artificial respiration, keep victim at rest, and get prompt medical attention.

INGESTION: DO NOT induce vomiting. If individual is conscious, give milk or water to dilute stomach contents. Keep warm and quiet. Get prompt medical attention. DO NOT attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Section V - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: COC 385F. PMCC 360F
FIRE POINT: COC 410F
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR, % Volume, LOWER: ND UPPER: ND
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Poses low fire hazard. Liquid can burn upon heating to temperatures at or above the flash points. If thermally decomposed, flammable/toxic gases may be released. Toxic gases will form upon combustion. Exposure to excessive heat, extreme temperatures and fire builds pressure in closed containers which may burst or explode. "Empty" containers retain product residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. DO NOT pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition; they may explode and cause injury or death.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear appropriate protective equipment including self contained breathing apparatus. Move undamaged containers away from fire area if it can be done without risk.

FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical or water spray. 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 flash points 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 in 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. (NFPA 325M-1984)

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS: Fumes, smoke, oxides of sulfur, oxides of nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, methacrylate monomers, and carbon monoxide/dioxide.

Section VI - ACCIDENTIAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL ON LAND: Eliminate sources of ignition. Prevent additional discharge of material, if possible to do so without hazard. Floor may be slippery; use care to avoid falling. 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 viscous for pumping, 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.

Section VII - STORAGE AND HANDLING
ELECTROSTATIC ACCUMULATION HAZARD: No, but use proper grounding procedure
STORAGE TEMPERATURE: Ambient ; 40 to 100F, 5 to 38C
STORAGE/TRANSPORT PRESSURE: Ambient atmospheric
LOADING/UNLOADING TEMPERATURE: Ambient ; 40 to 100F, 5 to 38C
LOADING/UNLOADING VISCOSITY: 840 cSt. typical @ 104F, 40C

STORAGE AND HANDLING: Keep container tightly closed. Handle and open containers with care. Store in a cool, well ventilated place away from incompatible materials. DO NOT handle or store near an open flame, heat, or other sources of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. DO NOT pressurize, cut, heat, or weld containers. Empty product containers may contain product residue. Low temperature storage may cause handling difficulty due to viscosity increase.

Section VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS: Ventilation should be provided to control worker exposures and prevent health risk

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. Where concentrations may exceed the limits given in this Section and engineering, work practice, or other means of exposure reduction are not adequate, NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators may be necessary to prevent overexposure by inhalation.

WORKPLACE EXPOSURE GUIDELINES: Contains mineral oil (an additive carrier oil). Under conditions which may generate mists, control exposures and observe the OSHA PEL of 5mg/m3 and the ACGIH STEL of 10mg/m3.

Section XVI - OTHER INFORMATION
HAZARD RATING SYSTEMS: NOTES: This product contains zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP). Do not heat above 250F, 121C because higher temperatures can result in exothermic decomposition of the ZDDP releasing highly toxic hydrogen sulfide and possibly odorous alkyl mercaptans. These decomposition vapors are flammable and may suddenly ignite when mixed with air or in the presence of ignition sources such as sparks or flames. Ignition temperatures may be decresed by sudden pressure changes which are often found if vacuum or pressurized process equipment fails. Product should be stored at temperatures below 140F, 60C. to avoid degradation of product quality. Extreme caution must be used in tank gauging or similar operations as overheating could lead to accumulation of lethal concentrations of hydrogen sulfide in the head-space of containters.

WARNING: Continuous contact with used motor oil has caused skin cancer in animal tests. Avoid prolonged and repeated contact. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Launder or discard soiled clothes. Don't pollute. Return used oil to an oil collection center.

HAZARD RATING SYSTEMS: This information is for people trained in: National Paint & Coatings Association's (NPCA) Hazardous Materials Identification System (HMIS) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 704) Identification of the Fire Hazards of Materials.
