SECTION 3 – HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: No ingredients are known to be hazardous under normal usage.
ACUTE EFFECTS – EYE CONTACT: May cause irritation.
ACUTE EFFECTS - SKIN CONTACT: Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause irritation.
ACUTE EFFECTS – INHALATION: Vapor and mist may irritate nose and throat. Prolonged inhalation may cause
dizziness.
ACUTE EFFECTS - INGESTION: May cause gastrointestinal irritation. Nausea and vomiting may occur.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS: Individuals with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems or impaired liver or
kidney function may be more susceptible to the effects of chemical.
OTHER INFORMATION: Target Organs: Respiratory passages at high temperatures, eyes, skin.
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: Inhalation at high temperatures, eye contact, skin contact.
SECTION 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT: Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical
attention if symptoms persist.
INHALATION: No known harmful effects. If symptoms develop, remove affected person from source of exposure into fresh
air. Get medical attention.
INGESTION: Get immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a physician. Give
large quantities of water or milk.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Treat symptomatically.

SECTION 5 – FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: N.A.
LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: N.A.
UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: N.A.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: N.A.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: CO2, Foam, Dry Chemical, Water Spray
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: None.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Fire may produce toxic thermal decomposition products. Wear a self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in pressure-demand or positive-pressure mode. Do not
release runoff from fire control methods to sewers or waterways.
SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Small Spills: Isolate area and deny entry. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Small spill can be picked up with vermiculite or
other absorbent, noncombustible material. Properly protected personnel should flush spill with plenty of water, taking care
not to splash personnel.
Large Spills: Notify appropriate personnel and implement facility emergency response plan. Evacuate nonessential
personnel, and isolate area. Cleanup personnel should wear fully protective equipment for skin and eye contact.
Containment: For large spills, dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Do not release directly into sewers or
waterways. Wash walking surfaces thoroughly to reduce slipping hazard.
Cleanup: Absorb spilled liquid with non-reactive absorbent material. Place clean-up material in appropriate disposal
containers and dispose of according to local, state and federal requirements.
Regulatory Requirement: Any release to the environment of this product may be subject to federal, state, and/or local
reporting requirements. Check with appropriate agencies.
SECTION 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Exercise ordinary care in handling industrial lubricants. Avoid contamination of cigarettes or other tobacco
products. Wash hands thoroughly before eating or smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Users
should be alert to the possibility that very small percentages of the population may display unexpected allergic reactions to
otherwise innocuous industrial lubricants and raw materials.
STORAGE: Do not store in open or unlabeled containers. Store in well ventilated, properly drained/contained site, away
from heat, out of the sun, and away from combustibles and reactive chemicals. Uses only approved containers and
protect containers from damage and keep material from freezing.

MSDS NUMBER: 9107695
SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Local ventilation is generally not necessary under normal conditions of use with adequate
general ventilation. Ventilation and other forms of engineering controls are the preferred means for controlling chemical
exposures.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid breathing in mist. Respiratory protection is generally not necessary under normal
conditions of use with adequate general ventilation.
SKIN PROTECTION: Avoid skin contact. Wear chemical protective gloves. Depending upon conditions of use, additional
protection may be necessary such as a face shield, apron, etc.
EYE PROTECTION: Avoid eye contact. Wear safety glasses or chemical goggles.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and washing
facilities available in work area.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Practice good personal hygiene after using this
material.
