DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Combustion of material will produce hydrogen chloride and oxides of sulfur, carbon
and nitrogen.
SECTION 6 HEALTH, FIRST AID AND MEDICAL DATA
ACUTE AND CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS AND EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE. PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF
ENTRY ARE: INHALATION AND SKIN ABSORPTION. Abbreviations used in the following section: SKIN=Skin
absorption. EYE=Eye contact. INHAL=Inhalation INGEST=Ingestion. THE INFORMATION PRESENTED AND
CONCLUSIONS DRAWN ARE FROM SOURCES OTHER THAN DIRECT TEST DATA.
MINERAL OIL: ACUTE: SKIN: May irritate the skin. Predisposing factors: Usually individuals with sensitive skin or
large amounts of body hair. Material is not sterile and may infect open cuts or sores. When tested, an essentially
identical mixture was judged to be non-irritating per 16 CFR 1500.3(c)(4). Primary irritation index=2 (Albino Rabbits).
EYE: When tested, an essentially identical mixture was judged to be non-irritating per 16 CFR 1500.42 No corneal
opacity, iritis or moderate conjunctival irritation after; 1,2,3 days (Draize, rabbits). INGEST: Acute oral toxicity: LD
50>5 gm./kg. (rats). INHAL: Observe OSHA limits for oil mist. Target organs are respiratory system and lungs.
Symptoms of overexposure to oil mist include coughing, sore throat, headache, chest pain and difficult breathing.
Predisposing factors: Individuals with pre-existing respiratory impairments (such as emphysema) can display
increased sensitivity to oil mists or vapors. CHRONIC: SKIN: Prolonged repeated skin contact can cause skin
irritation or oil acne: Inflammation and blackheads due to mechanical blockage of the pores. Prolonged or repeated
exposure may aggravate existing dermatitis. EYE: None known. INGEST: None known. INHAL: None known. The
manufacturer of the mineral oil used in this product reports the oil has been hydrotreated at such temperatures and
pressures to eliminate potential carcinogenicity. The fact that this product is severely hydrotreated, means the oil
does not require labelling according to OSHA regulations. This mineral oil is periodically monitored using the Sun
Predictor test, Modified Ames Assay, FDA 21CFR178.3620(c), and IP 346 to further confirm this oil is not a potential
carcinogen. This oil passes the Sun Predictor Test with fewer than one percent mice developing tumors; the
maximum value to be considered a pass is 8 percent. This oil typically has an FDA 21CFR178.3620(b) absorbance
value between 280nm and 289nm of less than 35. The conclusions of the Sun Oil study on oils with absorbance
values less than 200 are that the oils will easily pass as non-carcinogenic. This oil also passes FDA
21CFR178.3620(c), which is identified for use as a component of non-food articles with incidental food contact.
Modified Ames testing is performed by an independent laboratory and shows mutagenicity indices of less than 1.
Typical values are 0.2 MI, which do not cause a positive increase in the number of reverents per plate. The IP 346
test method is utilized in Europe to determine potential carcinogenicity. This mineral oil typically gives values of 0.2%
PNA content by DMSO extract.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID
INHALATION: Remove from further exposure. If unconsciousness occurs, seek immediate medical assistance and
call a physician. If breathing has stopped, begin mouth to mouth resuscitation. EYE CONTACT: Remove contact
lenses(if wearing) and flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention to check for possible irritation.
SKIN CONTACT: Wash contact areas with mild non-abrasive soap and water. INGESTION: Do not induce
vomiting. Administer vegetable oil. Get medical assistance. (Note to physician: Material if aspirated into the lungs
may cause chemical pneumonitis. Treat appropriately).
SECTION 7 HANDLING, STORAGE AND USE PROCEDURES
NORMAL STORAGE AND HANDLING: Store away from heat or flame as the material will expand if overheated and
possibly rupture the container spilling the contents. The spilled material will create a slip hazard and will burn if inited.
If stored outdoors, store so as to shed water to prevent pollution by water and dirt. Plastic containers are brittle if
frozen and may split and leak if handled roughly. Since emptied containers retain material residue, follow label
MSDS 24-9 Page 2 of 4
warnings even after container is emptied and do not reuse container for other purposes. All precautions detailed on
the container label apply to partially full or empty containers. Do not transfer to unlabeled containers. Use personal
protection equipment and precautions as specified in Section 8. Do not cut, braze, weld, solder, or pressurize
container as doing so may cause container to EXPLODE, potentially causing serious injury or DEATH. NORMAL
USE: Practice good personal hygiene. Wash hands thoroughly to remove grinding oil and microscopic particles of
metal debris (suspended in the oil) before touching other parts of the body, food,
drinks or smoking to avoid contact with or ingestion of metal fines. Clean material from parts using alkaline cleaner.
Avoid prolonged inhalation of mist or vapors. FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY. Not suitable for use in or around
household or dwelling. STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE OF LEAKS OR SPILLS: Ventilate if large amount is spilled
in a confined space. Contain and absorb on fire-retardant treated sawdust, diatomaceous earth
or other suitable absorbent and place in fireproof waste container. Notify Coast Guard if spill could reach any
waterways (1-800-424-8802) and also local/state authorities. Spilled material is greasy and produces a slip/fall
hazard. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: The unused product, in our opinion, is not specifically listed by the EPA as a
hazardous waste (40 CFR 261D), is not ignitible, not corrosive, not reactive and is not formulated with the metals cited
in the EP Toxicity Test. Used material may be regulated. Do not attempt to clean container as residue is difficult to
remove. Containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with applicable
federal, state and local laws, regulations, rules, orders and ordinances.
SECTION 8 PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If unusual grinding conditions generate any strong odor or detectable oil mist use
NIOSH approved respirator rated for mineral oil mist to maintain oil mist levels below OSHA PEL levels.
VENTILATION: Normal ventilation is required. Do not operate grinding machine within a closed un-ventilated space.
If strong odors or oil mist is detected, use forced ventilation to maintain levels of fumes or mists below OSHA PEL
levels. SKIN PROTECTION: Not normally required for short exposures. Launder contaminated clothing before
reuse. Avoid wearing clothing soaked with fluid. Note that oil flowing over the work-piece while grinding will contain
small chips from the work-piece and abrasive debris. These materials may be irritating to the skin and eyes. Some
materials that are not normally irritating to the skin may be converted to a form that is irritating when trapped in skin
pores and acted upon by sweat. Oil impervious gloves should be worn in the event any symptoms of skin distress
appear. Note that some barrier creams have been shown to increase skin absorption of metallic compounds and also
that many people are allergic to chemicals used in protective gloves. EYE PROTECTION: Always wear NIOSH
approved safety glasses when grinding or operating machinery. OTHER EQUIPMENT: Oil-impervious apron if
desired. MEASURES TO BE TAKEN DURING REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT
THAT HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THIS MATERIAL: Same as for petroleum lubricating oil. Remove traces of
material if soldering, welding, brazing, cutting or other process involving ignition sources to prevent a fire hazard.
SECTION 9 FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
FLASH POINT: 270 F (132 C) ASTM D-92. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical and
water fog. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: For fires in enclosed areas, fire fighters must use
self-contained breathing apparatus. AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not Established UNUSUAL FIRE AND
EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Combustion will produce oxides of carbon, chlorine and sulfur. Towels, rags or other
insulating absorbent fibrous media contaminated with any oil product should be stored in appropriate fireproof
container that is emptied daily, to limit spontaneous combustion hazard. Although not classified as "combustible"
(based on flash point and ignition properties) this product can be made to burn and will serve as a fuel source for a
fire. Sealed containers may melt, leak, burst or explode, releasing contents and spreading fire, if exposed to extreme
heat.
