3 POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS OF DIRECT EXPOSURE
.
Product Product at Use Dilution
Inhalation: Not Applicable Extended exposure to mist may cause upper
respiratory irritation.
Eye Contact: Product is a primary eye irritant. Will cause stinging sensation in the eye.
Skin Contact: Product is not a primary skin irritant. Product may Product may be a primary skin irritant.
be a primary skin irritant.
Ingestion: Not orally toxic. Swallowing small quantities may cause diarrhea,
nausea or vomiting.
Medical Conditions generally aggravated by exposure
May aggravate existing skin irritation where further defatting or skin penetration could occur.
Mild skin irritation (redness and dryness of hands) may be experienced when the diluted product has
been contaminated by certain oils, by dissolved metals, or when mix ratio is too strong. When
problems occur, use of water-resistant barrier creams may be a temporary control measure.
Contact Oak International, Inc. Technical Services at 1-269-651-9790 for specific recommendations.

When used in applications generating high levels of mist, operator exposure can be minimized by
proper ventilation, use of mist collectors or splash guards, as appropriate. If there is doubt about
actual mist levels present, monitoring should be conducted. Contact Oak International, Inc. at
1-269-651-9790 for specific recommendations.
Repeated excessive exposures to high amounts of triethanolamine may cause liver and kidney
effects.
Carcinogen Listings: NTP: No IARC: No OSHA: No
Signs and symptoms of exposure
Acute
Eye injury may result from contact with product. Skin irritation can result from improper use and
handling of product.
4 EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
.
Eyes
In case of eye contact, flush immediately with running water for at least 15 minutes, and get prompt
medical attention.
Skin Contact
For skin contact flush with large amounts of water while removing contaminated clothing. Remove
contaminated shoes and clothing and launder before reuse. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
Ingestion
If the material is swallowed, get immediate medical attention or advice. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
Give two glasses of water or milk. Immediately contact a physician and obtain treatment. Swallowing
small quantities of diluted product may cause nausea, diarrhea or abdominal distress.
Inhalation
Inhalation can occur in applications where high mist levels are generated. OSHA has set a PEL of 15
mg/m?for any airborne particulate as a nuisance level of exposure. NIOSH has set a REL of 0.5 mg/m?br>
for metalworking fluid mist. If symptoms are experienced, remove source of contamination or move
victim to fresh air. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
5 CONTROL MEASURES .
Respiratory protection
Product is not volatile.
In applications where time-weighted exposures are 0.5 to 5 mg/m? mist reduction through improved
ventilation, mist collection or process modification is recommended by NIOSH. Where this is not
possible, NIOSH recommends the use of any air purifying, half-mask respirator including a disposable
respirator, equipped with any P- or R-series particulate filter. If the average exposure will exceed 5
mg/m? NIOSH recommends use of a powered, air-purifying respirator equipped with a hood or helmet
and a HEPA filter. If respiratory problems are present when mist levels are < 0.5 mg/m? respiratory
protection should be based on the individual recommendation of a qualified health care provider.
Caution
The appropriate use and type of respirator is dependent upon use of the product and local operating
conditions.
Ventilation
For most applications, normal shop ventilation is adequate. However, when high mist levels are
generated or where machines are close together or ventilation is inadequate, operators may experience
respiratory irritation. For such applications, use of splash guards or mist collectors is recommended.

9 WASTE DISPOSAL .
For Used Product
Disposal procedures must comply with local, county, state and Federal regulations. If pre-treatment is

Empty Containers
Empty containers will contain a residue which is not considered a hazardous waste under RCRA
regulations. Drums can be drained to a "drip dry" condition by inversion and can be offered for
recycling or scrap.
CAUTION: Empty containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and may be dangerous. DO NOT
PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND, OR EXPOSE THIS CONTAINER TO
HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION: IT MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE
INJURY OR DEATH. Do not attempt to clean drums since residue is difficult to remove. Empty drums
should be completely drained, promptly bunged, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner. Empty
disposable bulk containers should be drained, sealed, and properly discarded. Empty recyclable bulk
containers should be drained, sealed, and recycled. Empty pails and jugs should be drained and
