* All concentrations are percent by weight unless material is a gas. Gas concentrations are in percent by
volume.
As per paragraph (i) of 29 CFR 1910.1200, formulation is considered a trade secret and specific chemical
identity and exact percentage (concentration) of composition may have been withheld. Specific chemical
identity and exact percentage composition will be provided to health professionals, employees, or designated
representatives in accordance with applicable provisions of paragraph (i).
INHALATION
Under normal conditions of intended use, this material is not expected to be an inhalation hazard.
SKIN CONTACT
Wash contact areas with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Launder contaminated
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 within the first few hours may significantly reduce
the ultimate extent of injury.
EYE CONTACT
Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, get medical assistance.
INGESTION
First aid is normally not required. Seek medical attention if discomfort occurs.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Appropriate Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to
extinguish flames.
FIRE FIGHTING
Fire Fighting Instructions: Evacuate area. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering
streams, sewers, or drinking water supply. Firefighters should use standard protective equipment
and in enclosed spaces, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Use water spray to cool fire
exposed surfaces and to protect personnel.
FLAMMABILITY PROPERTIES
Flash Point [Method]: >204C (399F) [EST. FOR OIL, ASTM D-92 (COC)]
Flammable Limits (Approximate volume % in air): LEL: N/D UEL: N/D
Autoignition Temperature: N/D
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all
applicable regulations. US regulations require reporting releases of this material to the environment
which exceed the applicable reportable quantity or oil spills which could reach any waterway including
intermittent dry creeks. The National Response Center can be reached at (800)424-8802.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. Warn or evacuate occupants in surrounding and downwind areas
if required due to toxicity or flammability of the material. See Section 5 for fire fighting information.
See the Hazard Identification Section for Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice.
See Section 8 for advice on the minimum requirements for personal protective equipment. Additional
protective measures may be necessary, depending on the specific circumstances and/or the expert
judgment of the emergency responders.
For emergency responders: Respiratory protection: respiratory protection will be necessary only in
special cases, e.g., formation of mists. Half-face or full-face respirator with filter(s) for dust/organic
vapor or Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) can be used depending on the size of spill and
potential level of exposure. If the exposure cannot be completely characterized or an oxygen
deficient atmosphere is possible or anticipated, SCBA is recommended. Work gloves that are
resistant to hydrocarbons are recommended. Gloves made of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) are not
water-resistant and are not suitable for emergency use. Chemical goggles are recommended if
splashes or contact with eyes is possible. Small spills: normal antistatic work clothes are usually

adequate. Large spills: full body suit of chemical resistant, antistatic material is recommended.
SPILL MANAGEMENT
Land Spill: Scrape up spilled material with shovels into a suitable container for recycle or disposal.
Water Spill: Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Confine the spill immediately with booms.
Warn other shipping. Skim from surface.
Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this
material; however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave
and current direction and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this
reason, local experts should be consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to
be taken.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
HANDLING
Avoid contact with skin. Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard.
STORAGE
Do not store in open or unlabelled containers.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure
conditions. Control measures to consider:
No special requirements under ordinary conditions of use and with adequate ventilation.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protective equipment selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as
applications, handling practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of
protective equipment for use with this material, as provided below, is based upon intended, normal
usage.

For high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in positive
pressure mode. Supplied air respirators with an escape bottle may be appropriate when oxygen
levels are inadequate, gas/vapor warning properties are poor, or if air purifying filter capacity/rating
may be exceeded.
Hand Protection: Any specific glove information provided is based on published literature and glove
manufacturer data. Glove suitability and breakthrough time will differ depending on the specific use
conditions. Contact the glove manufacturer for specific advice on glove selection and breakthrough
times for your use conditions. Inspect and replace worn or damaged gloves. The types of gloves to
be considered for this material include:
Chemical resistant gloves are recommended. If contact with forearms is likely wear gauntlet
style gloves.
Eye Protection: If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
Skin and Body Protection: Any specific clothing information provided is based on published
literature or manufacturer data. The types of clothing to be considered for this material include:
Chemical/oil resistant clothing is recommended.
Specific Hygiene Measures: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing
after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work
clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated clothing and
footwear that cannot be cleaned. Practice good housekeeping.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS
Comply with applicable environmental regulations limiting discharge to air, water and soil. Protect the
environment by applying appropriate control measures to prevent or limit emissions.
