Summary of risks: May irritate eyes. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause irritation. Inhalation of 1
F
oil mist or vapors may irritate respiratory passages. Contains a small percentage of tricresyl phosphate and 0
R
trixylenyl phosphate, which may cause cholinesterase inhibition. PPE
Sec. 8
Potential Health Effects
Eye Contact: May cause irritation.
Skin Contact: Skin contact may cause irritation. Tricresyl phosphate and trixylenyl phosphate, if absorbed through the skin, may
cause cholinesterase inhibition (see Section 4, "Note to Physician", for signs and symptoms of these effects).
Inhalation: Oil mist and vapors may irritate respiratory passages. Inhalation of tricresyl phosphate and trixylenyl phosphate may
cause cholinesterase inhibition (see Section 4, "Note to Physician", for signs and symptoms of these effects).
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation. Ingestion of tricresyl phosphate and trixylenyl phosphate may cause
cholinesterase inhibition (see Section 4, "Note to Physician", for signs and symptoms of these effects).
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation, eye contact, skin contact.
Target Organs: Respiratory passages, eyes, skin.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure: Persons with pre-existing neuromuscular disorders may be at an
increased risk from exposure to tricresyl phosphate and trixylenyl phosphate.
Carcinogenicity: IARC, NTP, and OSHA do not list Synthetic Oil 132 or its ingredients as carcinogens.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms
persists.
Inhalation: If symptoms develop, remove affected person from source of exposure into fresh air. Get immediate medical
attention. If person is not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen if available.
Ingestion: Get immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a physician.

MSDS No. 132 Synthetic Oil 132 Revision: 12/18/00
Note to Physician: This product contains a small percentage of an organophosphorus mixture, which contains tricresyl
phosphate and trixylenyl phosphate. Overexposure to this product by ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption may cause
cholinesterase inhibition. Symptoms of cholinesterase inhibition may include: headache, nausea, sweating, numbness and
tingling of the hands and feet, salivation, muscle twitching, tremors, incoordination, blurred vision, tears, abdominal cramps,
diarrhea, and chest discomfort. In cases of cholinesterase inhibition, atropine by injection is antidotal. Pralidoxime chloride (2-
PAM; Protopam chloride) is also antidotal when administered early and in conjunction with atropine.
Section 5 - Fire-Fighting Measures
Flash Point: over 400癋 (204癈)
Flash Point Method: CC, ASTM D93
Lower Flammable Limit (LFL): N/A
Upper Flammable Limit (UFL): N/A
Extinguishing Media: CO2, Foam, Dry Chemical, Water Spray
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: None
Hazardous Combustion Products: Phosphorus oxides, carbon monoxide and small amount of other toxic fumes.
Fire-Fighting Instructions: Wear a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus with full protective
clothing. Do not release runoff from fire control methods to sewers or waterways.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Spill Response: Observe precautions from other sections. Contain any spill with dikes or absorbents to prevent migration and
entry into drains, sewers or bodies of water. Take up small spills with absorbent. Large spills may be taken up with pump or
vacuum and finished off with absorbent. Wipe or scrape up saturated absorbent and place it in a proper container for disposal.
Wash walking surfaces thoroughly to reduce slipping hazard. Follow applicable OSHA (29 CFR 1910.120), state and local
regulations.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling Precautions: Exercise ordinary care in handling industrial lubricants. Avoid contamination of cigarettes or other
tobacco products. Wash hands thoroughly before eating or smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and clean before reuse.
Users should be alert to the possibility that very small percentages of the population may display unexpected allergic reactions
to otherwise innocuous industrial lubricants and raw materials.
Storage Requirements: Do not store in open or unlabeled containers. Store away from incompatibles.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Eye Protection: Avoid eye contact. Wear safety glasses or chemical goggles in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133.
Skin Protection: Avoid skin contact. Wear chemical protective gloves. Depending upon conditions of use, additional protection
may be necessary such as a face shield, apron, etc.
Ventilation: Local ventilation is generally not necessary under normal conditions of use with adequate general ventilation.
Ventilation and other forms of engineering controls are the preferred means for controlling chemical exposures.
Respiratory Protection: Avoid breathing oil mist. Respiratory protection is generally not necessary under normal conditions of
use with adequate general ventilation.
Safety Stations: Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and washing facilities available in work area.
Other Precautionary Information: Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Practice good personal hygiene after using this
material, especially before eating, drinking, smoking, using the toilet, or applying cosmetics.
