C.  PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY AND EMERGENCY AND FIRST  AID PROCEDURES

EYE CONTACT

 If splashed into the eyes, flush with clear water for 15 minutes or u until irritation subsides.  If irritation persists, call

 a physician.

SKIN

In case of skin contact, remove any contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water.  Launder or dry-clean

clothing before reuse.  If product is injected into or under the skin, or into any part of the body, regardless of the appearance of the wound or its size, the individual should be evaluated immediately by a physician as a surgical

emergency.  Even though initial symptoms from high pressure injection may be minimal or absent, early surgical

treatment with the first few hours may significantly reduce the ultimate extent of injury.

INHALATION

Vapor pressure is very low.  Vapor inhalation under ambient conditions is normally not a problem.  If overcome by

vapor from hot product, immediately remove from exposure and call a physician.  If breathing is irregular or has

stopped, start resuscitation; administer oxygen, if available.  If overexposed to oil mist, remove from further                 exposure until excessive oil mist condition subsides.

INGESTION

If ingested, DO NOT induce vomiting; call a physician immediately.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA AND FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES

Foam, water spray (fog), dry chemical, carbon dioxide and vaporizing liquid type extinguishing agents may all   be    suitable for extinguishing fires involving this type of product, depending on size or potential size of fire and

circumstances related to the situation.  Plan fire protection and response strategy through consultation with   local       fire protection authorities or appropriate specialties.

The following procedures for this type of product are based on the recommendations in the National Fire                      Protection Associations Fire Protection Guide on Hazardous Materials,   Tenth Edition (1991):

Use water, spray, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide to extinguish the fire.  Use water to keep fire-exposed

containers cool.  If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors and to provide                 protection for   men attempting to stop a leak.  Water spray may be used to flush spills away from exposures.        Minimize breathing or gases, vapor, fumes or decomposition products.  Use supplies-air breathing equipment for enclosed or confined spaces or as otherwise needed.

DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS

Fumes, smoke, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, aldehydes, and other decomposition products,    in the case of incomplete combustion.

EMPTY CONTAINER WARNING EMPTY containers retain 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.  Do not attempt to clean since residue is difficult to remove.  Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged or promptly returned to a drum reconditioned.  All other containers  should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations.  For work on tanks, refer to Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations.  ANSI Z49.1, and other governmental and industrial references pertaining to cleaning, repairing, welding, or other contemplated operations.

E.  HEALTH AND HAZARD INFORMATION

VARIABILITY AMONG INDIVIDUALS

Health studies have shown that many petroleum hydrocarbons and synthetic lubricants pose potential human health risks which may  vary from person to person.  As a precaution, exposure to liquids, vapors, mists or fumes should be minimized.

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE (Signs and Symptoms of Exposure)

Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause skin irritation.

NATURE OF HAZARD AND TOXICITY INFORMATION

Repeated and prolonged overexposure to oil mists may result in droplet deposition, oil granuloma formation,

inflammation and increased incidence of infection.

In accordance with the current OSHA Hazard Communication Standard criteria, this product does not require a      cancer hazard warning.  This is because the product is formulated from base stocks which are severely hydrotreated,

severely solvent extracted, and/or processed by mild hydrotreatment and extraction.  Alternatively, it may consist of

components not otherwise affected by IARC criteria, such as atmospheric distillates or synthetically derived       materials, and as such is not characterized by current IARC classification criteria.

Prolonged or repeated skin contact with this product tends to remove skin oils, possibly leading to irritation and    dermatitis; however, based on human experience and available toxicological data, this product is judged to be      neither a corrosive nor an irritant by OSHA criteria.

Product contacting the eyes may cause eye irritation.

Product has a low order of acute oral and dermal toxicity, but minute amounts aspirated into the lungs during       ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury and possibly death.

This product is judged to have an acute oral LD50 (rat) greater than 5 g/kg of body weight, and an acute dermal      LD50 (rabbit) greater than 3.16 g/kg of body weight.

I.  PROTECTION AND PRECAUTIONS

VENTILATION

 Use local exhaust to capture vapor, mists or fumes, if necessary.  Provide ventilation sufficient to prevent exceeding

 recommended exposure limit or buildup of explosive concentrations of vapor in air.  No smoking, or use of flame

 or other ignition sources.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

 Use supplied-air respiratory protection in confined or enclosed spaces, if needed.

PROTECTIVE GLOVES

 Use chemical-resistant gloves, if needed, to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.

EYE PROTECTION

 Use splash goggles or face shield when eye contact may occur.

WORK PRACTICES / ENGINEERING CONTROLS

Keep containers closed when not in use.  Do not store near heat, sparks, flame or strong oxidants.

In order to prevent fire or explosion hazards, use appropriate equipment.

Information on electrical equipment appropriate for use with this product may be found in the latest edition of the

National Electrical Code (NFPA-70).  This document is available from the National Fire protection Association.  Battery march Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

PERSONAL HYGIENE

Minimize breathing vapor, mist or fumes.  Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.  Remove contaminated clothing; launder or dry-clean before re-use.  Remove contaminated shoes and thoroughly clean before re-use; discard if oil-soaked.  Cleanse skin thoroughly after contact, before breaks and meals, and at end of work period.  Product is readily removed from skin by waterless hand cleaners followed by washing thoroughly with soap and water.
