10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Conditions / materials to avoid: Stable. May react with strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous decomposition products: Thermal decomposition or incomplete combustion may produce oxides of carbon
and irritating fumes.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Eyes: Slightly irritating to the eye.
Skin: Although incidental contact with the skin does not cause immediate irritation, prolonged and repeated contact
may defat the skin and eventually cause dermatitis.
Inhalation: Not volatile. It is not likely to be an inhalation hazard at normal ambient temperatures.
If overheated, fumes and vapours are slightly irritating to the breathing passages and lungs.
Ingestion: Ingestion is unlikely to cause adverse systemic health effects.
Other: The refined mineral base oils used in the formulation of this product are of a low order of toxicity in test
animals.
LD50 (rat) for base oils is above 5 g/kg .
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Mobility: Little mobility in soil. Some components may penetrate the soil causing ground water
pollution. Will spread on the water surface. A small portion may be dispersed in water.
Degradability: Not readily biodegradable.
Ecotoxicity/bioaccumulation: Expected to be harmful to aquatic organisms. May cause long term adverse effects in the
aquatic environment.
