BOSS LUBRICANTS: MATERIAL SAFEETY DATA SHEET
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, Ingestion, Skin Contact/Absorption, Eye Contact
EYE: May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Vapors
or mists may cause eye irritation .
SKIN: Prolonged or repeated exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. A single
prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful
amounts. Repeated skin exposure may result in absorption of harmful amounts. Massive contact
with damaged skin or of material sufficiently hot to burn skin may result in absorption of potential
lethal amounts.
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be moderate. Excessive exposure may
cause central nervous system effects, cardiopulmonary effects (metabolic acidosis), and kidney
failure. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause
injury; however, swallowing amounts larger than that may cause serious injury, even death.
INHALATION: At room temperature, exposures to vapors are minimal due to physical prop-
erties; higher temperatures may generate vapor levels sufficient to cause adverse effects.
SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: Repeated excessive exposures
may cause severe kidney and also liver and gastrointestinal effects. Signs and symptoms of
excessive exposure may be nausea and/or vomiting. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure
may be anesthetic or narcotic effects. Observations in animals include formation of bladder
stones after repeated oral doses of ethylene glycol. Reports of kidney failure and death in burn
patients suggest the ethylene glycol may have been a factor. The use of topical applications
containing this material may not be appropriate in severely burned patients or individuals with
impaired renal function.
CANCER INFORMATION: Based on data from long-term animal studies, ethylene glycol
is not believed to pose a carcinogenic risk to man.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): Exposure to ethylene glycol has caused birth defects
in laboratory animals only at doses toxic to the mother.
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: Ethylene glycol has not interfered with reproduction in animal
studies except at very high doses

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ensure physician has access to this Material Safety Data Sheet.
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes, lifting lower and
upper lids. Get medical attention as soon as possible. Contact lenses should never be worn when
working with this chemical.
Skin: Flush area of skin immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing. If irritation persists after flushing, get medical attention
promptly. Wash clothing before re-use.
Inhalation: If inhaled, immediately remove victim to fresh air and call emergency medical care.
If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Ingestion: If swallowed, give two glasses of water and immediately call physician. Induce
vomiting of conscious patient by pressing finger down throat. Small amounts entering mouth
should be rinsed out for 5 minutes.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABILITY PROPERTIES
FLASH POINT: NONE, since % of water is over 20%.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Autoignition temperature for ethylene glycol is 398篊 (748篎)
FLAMMABILITY LIMITS - % of vapor concentration at which product can ignite in presence of
spark.
Lower Flammability Limit: Not Determined
Upper Flammability limit: Not Determined
Flammability limits are not determined on this product because the solution consists of 40% water. If and
when the water evaporates and 100% glycol is left, the lower and upper flammability limits would be 3.2%
and 22% (the same as pure ethylene glycol).
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Hazardous combustion products may include and are not
limited to carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and trace amounts of aldehydes and organic acids. When
available oxygen is limited, as in a fire when heated to very high temperatures be a hot wire or plate,
carbon monoxide and other hazardous compounds such as aldehydes might be generated.

Fire Fighting measures cont'd
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water fog or fine spray. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred
if available. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but much
less effectively. Carbon dioxide. Dry chemical. Do not use direct water stream, as this may spread the
fire.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: No fire and explosion hazards expected under normal storage and
handling conditions (i.e. ambient temperatures). However, ethylene glycol or solutions of ethylene glycol
And water can form flammable vapors with air if heated sufficiently. Keep people away. Isolate fire area
and deny unnecessary entry.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR THE FIRE FIGHTERS: Wear positive-pressure, self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire-fighting helmet, coat, pants,
boots and gloves).
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
EMERGENCY CONTACTS: CANUTTEC 1-613-996-6666
BOSS LUBRICANTS 1-800-844-9457
PROTECT PEOPLE: Material is moderately toxic when ingested. Take adequate precautions to keep
people, especially children away from spill site. PVC-coated rubber gloves and monogoggles or faceshield
can be used during cleanup of spill site.
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT: Do not dump used product or diluted material into sewers, on the
ground, or into any body of water.
CLEANUP: Small spills: Soak up with absorbent material. Large spills: Dike and pump into suitable
containers for disposal. Ensure compliance with all applicable statues that require notification of
appropriate government officials.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Product on surfaces can cause slippery conditions. Practice reasonable care and cleanliness. Avoid
breathing spray mists if generated. Keep out of reach of children. Product may become a solid at
temperatures below ?2 篊. Do not store near food, foodstuffs, drugs or portable water supplies.
