immediate number (800) 424-8802. In case of accident or road spill notify CHEMTREC (800) 424-9300.
PROCEDURES IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Absorb on fire retardant treated sawdust, diatomaceous earth, etc. Shovel up and dispose of at an appropriate waste
disposal facility in accordance with current applicable laws and regulations, and product characteristics at time of disposal.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Prevent spills from entering storm sewers or drains and contact with soil.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: See Section 8
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: No special precautions are necessary beyond normal good hygiene practices. See Section 8 for additional personal
protection advice when handling this product.
STORAGE: Do not store in open or unlabeled containers. Store away from strong oxidizing agents or combustible material.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: Prevent small spills and leakages to avoid slip hazard.
EMPTY CONTAINER WARNING: Empty containers retain 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. Do not
attempt to refill or clean container since residue is difficult to remove. Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged
and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner. All containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in
accordance with governmental regulations.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: When mists/aerosols can occur, the following are recommended:
5 mg/m3 (as oil mist)- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV), 10 mg/m3 (as oil mist)
ACGIH Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL), 5 mg/m3 (as oil mist) - OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL)
VENTILATION: Use in well ventilated area.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: No special requirements under ordinary conditions of use and with adequate ventilation.
EYE PROTECTION: Normal industrial eye protection practices should be employed.
SKIN PROTECTION: No special equipment required. However, good personal hygiene practices should always be followed.

Based on testing of similar products and/or the components.
DERMAL TOXICITY (RABBITS): Practically non-toxic (LD50: greater than 2000 mg/kg).
Based on testing of similar products and/or the components.
INHALATION TOXICITY (RATS): Not established
EYE IRRITATION (RABBITS): Practically non-irritating. (Draize score: greater than 6 but 15 or less).

NEUROTOXICOLOGY (SUMMARY)
This lubricant contains trimethylol propane ester and tricresyl phosphates. It has been determined that during fires neurotoxic
trimethylol propane phosphate may be formed, which when inhaled may impair central nervous system function. In addition,
thermally decomposed (and cooled) residues may be neurotoxic.
SENSITIZATION (SUMMARY)
This product contains 1.0% wt. phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine (PAN). Human repeated insult patch testing with lubricants containing
1.0% (w/w) PAN caused no reactions indicative of sensitization in over 449 human subjects. A similar jet oil formulation (containing
0.75% w/w PAN) was evaluated in a guinea pig sensitization test (Buehler) and found not to cause skin sensitization. In a separate
study, guinea pigs that were highly sensitized to pure PAN were found to tolerate a challenge concentration of 1.0% (w/w) PAN in
mineral oil with no sensitization response.
