4. First Aid Measures
Ingestion DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If conscious, give 1 glass of water.
Get immediate medical attention. If vomiting occurs naturally, the
casualty should lean forward to reduce the risk of aspiration.
Eyes Flush immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate
medical attention.
Skin Wash with soap and water. Immediately remove contaminated
clothing. Get medical attention if irritation persists. Launder
contaminated clothing before reuse and discard shoes and other
leather articles saturated with the material.
Inhalation Remove exposed person to fresh air if adverse effects are observed. If
breathing is labored, administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped,
apply artificial respiration.
Additional Information Note to physician. Treat symptomatically.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point 64 Deg C, 147.2 Deg F PMCC (Typical)
Extinguishing Media CO2, dry chemical, or foam. Water can be used to cool and protect
exposed material.
Firefighting Procedures Recommend wearing self-contained breathing apparatus. Treat as an
oil fire. Water may cause splattering.

BOSS LUBRICANTS: MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Unusual Fire & Explosion Toxic fumes, gases or vapors may evolve on burning. Vapors may be
Hazards heavier than air and may travel along the ground to a distant ignition
source and flash back. Container may rupture on heating.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Spill Procedures Evacuate all non-essential personnel. Personal Protective Equipment
must be worn, see Personal Protection Section for PPE
recommendations. Remove sources of ignition. Ventilate spill area.
Prevent entry into sewers and waterways. Pick up free liquid for
recycle and/or disposal. Residual liquid can be absorbed on inert
material. Check under Transportation and Labeling (DOT/CERCLA)
and Other Regulatory Information Section (SARA) for hazardous
substances to determine regulatory reporting requirements for spills.
7. Handling and Storage
Pumping Temperature Not Available
Maximum Handling 45 Deg C, 113 Deg F
Temperature
Handling Procedures Keep away from potential sources of ignition. Open container in a
well ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapors. Keep containers closed
when not in use. Don not discharge into drains or the environment,
dispose to an authorized waste collection point. Use appropriate
containment to avoid environmental contamination. Wash thoroughly
after handling. Empty containers retain material residue. Do not cut,
weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose containers to heat, flame,
spark or other sources of ignition.
Maximum Storage 45 Deg C, 113 Deg F
Temperature
Handling Procedures Keep away from potential sources of ignition. Open container in a
well ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapors. Keep containers closed
when not in use. Do not discharge into drains or the environment,
dispose to an authorized waste collection point. Use appropriate
containment to avoid environmental contamination. Wash thoroughly
after handling. Empty containers retain material residue. Don not cut,
weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose containers to heat, flame,
spark or other sources of ignition.

Maximum Storage 45 Deg C, 113 Deg F
Temperature
Storage Procedures Do not store near potential sources of ignition. Store in well ventilated
area. Equip bulk storage tank with overfill protection such as high level
alarms or secondary containment. Store drums in area with secondary
containment. Storage area should be covered to prevent rain from
entering.
Loading Temperature 45 Deg C, 113 Deg F
8. Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection
Other Exposure Limits Contains mineral oil. Under conditions which may generate mists,
observe the OSHA PEL of 5mg per cubic meter, ACGIH STEL of 10
mg per cubic meter.
Ventilation Procedures Use local exhaust ventilation to control mists or vapors. Additional
ventilation or exhaust may be required to maintain air concentrations
below recommended exposure limits.
Gloves Procedures Rubber. Nitrile. Polyvinyl alcohol. Note: polyvinyl alcohol gloves are
water soluble and should not be used when there is potential for water
contact.
Eye Protection Safety glasses. If potential for splash or mist exists, wear chemical
goggles or face shield.
Respiratory Protection Use full face respirator with an organic vapor cartridge if the
recommended exposure limit is exceeded. Use self-contained breathing
apparatus for entry into confined space, for other poorly ventilated
areas and for large spill clean-up sites.
Clothing Recommendation Long sleeve shirt is recommended. Wear either a chemical protective
suit or apron when potential for contact with material exists. Don not
wear rings, watches or similar apparel that could entrap the material
and cause a skin reaction.

11. Toxicology Information
-- ACUTE EXPOSURE--
Oral Toxicity The LD50 in rats is> 5000 mg/kg. Based on data from components or
similar materials. Swallowing material may cause irritation in the
gastrointestinal lining, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
Eye Irritation Moderate to strong eye irritation. Based on data from components or s
similar material.
Skin Irritation Skin irritant. Based on data from components or similar materials.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact as from clothing wet with material
may cause dermatitis. Symptoms may include redness, edema, drying
and cracking of the skin.
Dermal Toxicity The LD50 in rabbits is > 2000 mg/kg. Based on data from components
or similar materials.
Inhalation Toxicity High concentrations may cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, stupor
and other central nervous system effects leading to visual impairment,
difficulty breathing and convulsions.
Respiratory Irritation If material is misted or if vapors are generated from heating, exposure
may cause irritation of mucous membranes and the upper respiratory
tract similar to that observes with mineral oil. Based on data from
components or similar materials. Under good industrial hygiene
practices where all exposure limits are observed, respiratory irritation
should not be a problem. Exposure to a high concentration of vapor or
mist is irritating to the respiratory tract. If fatty acids are over-heated,
vapors or entrained mist may cause respiratory irritation.
Dermal Sensitization May cause allergic skin reaction in susceptible individuals.
Inhalation Sensitization No data available to indicate product or components may be respiratory
sensitizers.

BOSS LUBRICANTS: MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
-- CHRONIC EXPOSURE--
Chronic Toxicity Repeated overexposure to petroleum naphtha can cause nervus system
damage. Repeated overexposure to naphthalene may cause destruction
of red blood cells with anemia, fever, jaundice and kidney and liver
damage.
Carcinogenicity A two-year National Toxicology Program (NTP) study found an
increased incidence of tumors of the nose in rats exposed to
naphthalene by inhalation. In mice similarly exposed increased
incidences of alveolar/ bronchiolar adenomas were observed.
Naphthalene has been classified by the International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) as a possible human carcinogen (Group
2B) on the basis of sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in
experimental animals but inadequate evidence in exposed humans.
Reproductive Toxicity No data available to indicate either product or components present at
greater than 0.1% that may cause reproductive toxicity.
Teratogenicity No evidence of adverse effects were found in a developmental toxicity
study of 2-ethylexanol in rats. Doses up to 3 ml/kg applied to the skin
during the most critical part of the gestation period produced evidence
of toxicity to mothers, but no evidence of injury in the developing
offspring. In previous study, birth defects were observed by oral
administration, an unlikely route of exposure in the workplace.
Mutagenicity No data available to indicate product or any components present at
greater than 0.1% are mutagenic or genotoxic.
Other No other health hazards known.
12. Ecological Information
Freshwater Fish Toxicity The acute LC50 is 1-10 mg/L based on component data.
Freshwater Invertebrates The acute EC50 is 1-10 mg/L based on component data.
