3. Hazards identification
Classification: No classification needed according to 67/548/EC and
1999/45/EC.
Human Health: Inhalation of vapours and/or mists might irritate respiratory
tract.
Prolonged skin contact will cause defatting and possible
irritation. Eye contact might cause irritation.
Environment: Slow biodegradation, the product will remain for long time in
the environment. Risk for contamination of earth, soil and
water.
Physical and chemical At elevated temperatures flammable vapours and
hazard: decomposition products will be released. Risk for slippery
floors if spilled out.
4. First Aid Measures
General advice:
Inhalation: If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapours occur causing irritation,
move to fresh air. If the symptoms persist, obtain medical
advice.
Skin contact: Remove immediately adhering matter and wash off with soap
and plenty of water.
Eye contact: Rinse with plenty of water.
Ingestion: Clean mouth with water. Obtain medical advice if a large
amount has been swallowed. Do not induce vomiting.
5. Fire-fighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing Extinguish preferably with dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO2),
media: or foam. Waterspray / mist may be used.
Extinguishing media Water jet, unless used by authorised people.(Stain risk caused
which must not be used by combustion).

6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions: Suitable protection equipment should be used. In case of
large spillage, the cleaning procedure should be carried out
using suitable protective clothing such as overall, gloves and
boots. Remove contaminated clothes as soon as possible.
Smaller spillage can be wiped up with paper cloths, using
protective
gloves.
Environmental Prevent spills to enter and spread to drains, sewers, water
precautions: courses, and soil. Contact local safety authorities.
Methods for cleaning up: Absorb leaking product with sand, earth or other suitable inert
material and collect. Disposal according to section 13.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practices. If handled at elevated temperatures or with high
speed mechanical equipment, vapours or mists might be
released and require a well ventilated workplace.
Storage: Store at ambient temperature or with lowest necessary heating
as handling requires.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Control parameters: Exposure via the air and normal handling.
Chemical name: Mineral oil.
Short term value: 5 mg/m3. TLV-TWA 8 hours ACGIH (1998).
Engineering measures to Mechanical ventilation and local exhaust will reduce exposure
reduce exposure: via the air. Use oil resistant material in construction of handling
equipment. Store under recommended conditions and if
heated, temperature control equipment should be used to
avoid overheating.

Personal protection equipment:
- Respiratory protection: If the product is heated under manual handling, use suitable
mask with filter A1P2 or A2P2. Handling in automatic
production lines, with exhaust or ventilation, will not require
mask.
- Hand protection: Wear oil-resistant protective gloves if there is a risk of repeated
skin contact. Suitable gloves are neoprene, nitrile- or
acrylnitrilebutadiene rubber, or PVC. Take notice of CEN
420:94, CEN 374:1-3:94 and CEN 388:94.
- Eye protection: Wear safety goggles / safe shield if splashes may occur.
- Skin and body Wear protective clothing if there is a risk of skin contact and
protection: change them frequently, or when contaminated.
Hygienic measures: Act in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practice.

11. Toxicological Information
Acute toxicity: Studies available indicate oral and dermal LD50 s of >5 000
mg/kg which is considered as low acute toxicity.
Local effects:
- Inhalation: Prolonged and repeated inhalation of mist or vapour generated
at elevated temperatures may irritate respiratory tract.
- Oral: May cause nausea and eventually vomiting and diarrhoea.
- Skin contact: Prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to defatting of the
skin and subsequent irritation.
- Eye contact: May cause redness and transient pain.
- Sensitisation: Studies indicate no evidence of sensitisation.
12. Ecological Information
Mobility: Low, due to low water solubility.
Persistence/degradability: The baseoil is not readily biodegradable. Substances may not
meet criteria for ready biodegradability. Studies indicate
inherent, primary
biodegradation in the range of 20-60 % based on
carbondioxide
evolution.
Bio-accumulation: Base oil has Log Pow in the range >3,9->6,0.
Log Pow is used for estimating the bioacccumulation in fish. A
value >3,0 indicates possible bioaccumulation. The size of the
hydrocarbon molecules reduces the risk for bioaccumulation.
Ecotoxicity: Aquatic toxicity data on base oils indicate LC50 values of >1
000 mg/l, which is considered as low toxicity. Chronic toxicity
studies shows no long-term hazard to the aquatic environment.

13. Disposal Considerations
Residues of unused product is not regarded as hazardous waste. Residues of
products/packageing must not be disposed of in the environment, but taken care of in
accordance with local regulations.
Emptying instructions:
Barrels and equals: Turn the barrel upside down and tilt it approximately 10° until
nondripping.
Nondripping is less than one drop / minute at 15 °C. The product viscosity depends on
temperature, and it is important that the emptying not is done at to low temperature. It can
be necessary to scrape out highviscous products.
When the barrel is nondripping send it for recycling. If the residue volume is more than 1%
send it for destruction of barrels. Empty barrels with < 1 % residue is not dangerous
goods. Notify local regulations.
Bags for one way use/multiple use: Follow instructions given by the bag manufacturer.
The last residues in the bag can be removed by placing the hose over the remaining
residues or by lifting the bag so the product can run towards the hose.
Bottom residues; roll up the bag towards the hose to press out the oil
One way bags of polyethylene can be recycled or disposed of by incineration. Notify local
regulations.
