2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Classification:
Not classified as hazardous for health or environment.
Most important hazards:
Risk for spontaneous combustion if linseed oil is absorbed by porous organic material (cotton waste
or rag). This oxidation, which give rise to heat can happen even at room temperature, but raised
temperature increases the risk.

The value for iron oxide and chrome oxide (only colours with chrome oxide) is only relevant when
grinding the dried product. The value for hydrogen cyanide is only relevant for colours with Milori
blue (if in contact with strong bases or similar).
The CAS number for iron oxide has not been declared because the type of iron oxide could vary in
the different colours.
The occupational exposure value for quartz is not relevant for this product.
Recommended monitoring None

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Conditions to avoid Do not store above room temperature and not below 4癈
Material to avoid Strong acids, bases and oxidizing agents.
It reacts violently with hypochlorite.
Colours with chrome or Miolri blue should not be treated with
strong bases like sodium hydroxide.
Chrome oxide is almost insoluble, but in contact with strong
acids it becomes soluble and could give allergic reactions.
Hazardous decomposition The colours with Milori blue could release hydrogen cyanide in
products contact with strong bases and acids. It decomposes above
140 癈. Chrome oxide decomposes to chromate when heated
e.g. at fire. Chromate ions are carcinogenic and sensitizers.
Stability Stable at normal storage conditions
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
General information: Linseed oil is a common animal nutrition additive and has no known
toxicological hazards. There are even some studies that indicate positive health effects of new
pressed linseed oil. The added siccative in boiled linseed oil and added pigments makes it however
unsuitable to ingest.
Inhalation: Only a risk when spraying the product. The product could cause irritation if
occupational exposure limit for oil mist is surpassed. The product consumes oxygen when drying
and good ventilation is necessary. If inferior ventilation exists, there is a risk for headache.
Skin contact: Repeated contact might dry out the skin, but during normal use there is no hazard.
Acute toxicity: Linseed oil: >15000 mg/kg body weight.
Ingestion: Linseed oil is a laxative, but single ingestion will not give raise to any hazard.
Sensitization: Not a sensitizer.
Carcinogenic effects: None known effect of the product.
Safety Data Sheet for linseed oil paint page 6(8)
Titanium dioxide has given benign tumours in rats when inhaled. In female rats it has also given
cancer tumours in the lungs. Titanium oxide is under evaluation by IARC. In the monograph 47 it is
classified as group 3 (The agent is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans). Monograph
93 is under evaluation and IARC has now classified titanium dioxide as group 2B. The agent is
possibly carcinogenic to humans. When titanium oxide is dispersed in linseed oil like, in this
product, there is no risk of inhaling titanium dioxide (unless dried product is grinded).
Reproductive toxicity: None known.
Mutagenic effects: None known.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute toxicity for aquatic organisms (OECD): The product is not toxic to aquatic organisms.
Persistency and biodegradation: The linseed oil is easily biodegradable.
Bioaccumulation: The product will not bioaccumulate.
PBT Assessment: The product is not estimated to contain any PBT or vPvB substance.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste code EWC Depends where the waste is produced, but suitable codes are
02 02 03, 20 01 28 or 08 01 13.
The product is hazardous No
waste
Package disposal Can be sorted as metal if properly cleaned.
Suitable disposal Must be incinerated in a suitable incineration plant holding a
measurements permit delivered by the competent authorities.
14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION

15. REGULATORY INFORMATION
Labelling Symbols: No hazard label required.
Classification: Not classified as hazardous for health or environment.
Labelling package:
"Safety data sheet for professional users available upon request"

EC-limit from 2007, 400 g/l and from 2010, 300 g/l.
16. OTHER INFORMATION
This MSDS is changed in the following sections:
MSDS changed according to REACH regulation, e.g. Section 2 and 3.
Also changes in other sections (6,8,9,10,12,13,15 and 16), because of removal of zinc oxide from
light colours. The MSDS is now valid for all colours and there is not any special MSDS for dark
colours like Holkham green.
Changes have been made to reflect changes enforced by the VOC directive 2004/42/EC.
Safety Data Sheet for linseed oil paint page 7(8)
VOC is determined according to ISO 11890-2. The volatile VOC will probably remain in the colour
due to cross-binding reactions. This has been shown in emission measurements during painting
with linseed oil paint. VOC content declared for the colour with the highest content of linseed oil
(white).
R-phrases from section 3:
Manganese bis(2-ethylhexanoate)
R22 Harmful if swallowed.
