:

No significant effects expected.

Potential health effects Note

See Section 11 for further health effects/toxicological data. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation

:

Not expected to be a problem. However, if respiratory irritation occurs due to excessive vapour or mist exposure, seek immediate medical assistance.

Skin

:

Remove contaminated clothing. Dry wipe exposed skin and cleanse with hand cleaner, soap and water. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. (See Section 16 - Injection Injury)

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Procedure if material is released or spilled

:

Report spills/releases as required to appropriate authorities.

Methods for cleaning up

:

LAND SPILL: Shut off source taking normal safety precautions. Take measures to minimize the effects on ground water. Recover by pumping using explosion-proof equipment or contain spilled liquid with sand or other suitable absorbent and remove mechanically into containers. If necessary, dispose of absorbed residues as directed in Section 13. WATER SPILL: Notify port and relevant authorities. Confine with booms if skimming equipment is available to recover the spill for later recycling or disposal.

Environmental precautions

:

Prevent spill from entering municipal sewers, water sources or low lying areas. Advise the relevant authorities if contaminations have occurred.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Safe handling advice

:

No special precautions are necessary beyond normal good hygiene practices. See Section 8 for additional personal protection advice when handling this product.

Storage information

:

Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not store in open or unlabelled containers. Do not store near heat sources, sparks, flames, strong oxidizing agents and combustible materials.

Storage and handling procedures

:

Prevent small spills and leakages to avoid slip hazard.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Acute oral toxicity

:

(Rats): Practically non-toxic (LD50: Greater than 2000 mg/kg). Based on testing of similar products and/or components.

Acute inhalation toxicity

:

Not applicable. Harmful concentrations of mists and/ or vapours are unlikely to be encountered through any customary or reasonably foreseeable handling, use, or misuse of this product.

Acute dermal toxicity

:

(Rabbits): Practically non-toxic (LD50: greater than 2000 mg/kg). Based on testing of similar products and/or the components.

Skin irritation

:

(Rabbits): Practically non-irritating. (Primary Irritation Index: 0.5 or less). Based on testing of similar products and/or the components.

Eye irritation

:

(Rabbits): Practically non-irritating. (Draize score: greater than 0 but 6 or less). Based on testing of similar products and/or the components.

Repeated dose toxicity

:

Severely solvent refined and severely hydrotreated mineral base oils have been tested at an Environmental and Health Sciences Laboratory by dermal application to rats 5 days/week for 90 days at doses significantly higher than those expected during normal industrial exposure. Extensive evaluations including microscopic examination of internal organs and clinical chemistry of body fluids, showed no adverse effects.

Carcinogenicity

:

Chronic mouse skin painting studies of severely solvent refined mineral base oils showed no evidence of carcinogenic effects.

Other toxicological information

:

Overexposure to oil mist may result in oil droplet deposition and/or granuloma formation.
