SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Vapors irritating to eyes and respiratory tract. Vapors may cause flash fire or explosion.
Effects of Overexposure:
Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin
irritation and dermatitis (rash).
Effects of Overexposure (continued):
Eye Contact: Liquid, aerosols and vapors of this product are irritating and can cause pain, tearing, reddening and
swelling accompanied by a stinging sensation and/or a feeling like that of fine dust in the eyes.
Ingestion: This material may be harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Inhalation: Headaches, dizziness, nausea, decreased blood pressure, changes in heart rate and cyanosis may result
Cyclo?Red Grease, Stock No. C-123 MSDS - Page 2 of 5
from over-exposure to vapor or skin exposure. Prolonged inhalation may be harmful.
Chronic Health Hazards: Overexposure may cause nervous system damage, lung damage and kidney damage.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
First Aid Procedures:
Ingestion: Get medical attention immediately. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give victim a glass of water or
milk. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove clothing. Get medical attention immediately.
Wash clothing separately before reuse.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get immediate medical attention.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: -156癋 (-104癈) Method Used: Pensky-Martens C.C.
Flammable Limits in Air by Volume: Lower Explosion Limit (LEL) = 1.2% / Upper Explosion Limit (UEL) = 12.8%
Extinguishing Media: Alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical, foam, water fog.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat (fire). As in any fire, wear self-
contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand (MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. "Empty" containers retain
product residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or
expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause
injury or death. Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to a drum
reconditioner,
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill/Leak Procedures: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. dry sand or earth), then place in a chemical waste container.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling & Storage Procedures: Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep from freezing.
See product label for additional information. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or canister may be
permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits.
Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any
Cyclo?Red Grease, Stock C-123, MSDS - Page 3 of 5
potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air purifying
respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Ventilation: Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary to control any air contaminants to within their TLVs during the use of
this product.
Protective Clothing: Where contact is likely, wear chemical resistant gloves, a chemical suit, rubber boots and chemical safety
goggles plus a face shield.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses with side shields or goggles and a face shield.
Work/Hygienic Practices: Eye washes and safety showers in the workplace are recommended. Wash hands before eating.
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use only in a well ventilated area. Follow all MSDS/label
precautions even after container is emptied because they may retain product residues. Avoid prolonged or repeated
contact with skin. Avoid breathing vapors from heated material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
