2. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Ingredients present at or above 0.1 wt % (classified as toxic or very toxic) or 1 wt % (classified as harmful,
irritant or corrosive).
HAZARDOUS INGREDIENT
APPROXIMATE CONCENTRATION
None
The chemical identity of some or all of the ingredients is confidential business information and is being
withheld. In the event of a medical emergency, compositional information will be provided to medical staff.

3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
This product a grease is a mixture of base oils, soaps and additives
It is of low oral and dermal toxicity and under normal conditions of use should present no significant health
hazards. However, in common with most mineral oils, prolonged and repeated skin contact may
cause dermatitis.
Handling precautions should be strictly observed.

4. FIRST AID
INHALATION
In case case of adverse exposure to vapours, mists and/or fumes formed at elevated temperatures or by
mechanical agitation, immediately remove from further exposure. Administer artificial respiration if
breathing is irregular or has stopped. Get prompt medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT : Flush with large amount of water. Use soap if available. Remove severely contaminated
clothings and launder before reuse. If irritation persists seek medical attention. If the material is injected
under the skin from misuse of high pressure greasing equipment, immediately contact physician.
EYE CONTACT : Rinse immediately with plenty of water until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, obtain
medical advice.
INGESTION : If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting; keep at rest and call a physician.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Combustible material, low hazard. The product can form flammable mixtures or can burn only on heating
above the flash point. However, minor contamination by hydrocarbons of higher volatility may increase
the hazard.

SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES

Water fog or spray, to cool fire-exposed surface (e.g. containers) and to protect personnel, should be
used by personnel trained in fire fighting.
Cut off "fuel" ; depending on circumstances, either allow the fire to burn out under controlled conditions
or use foam or dry chemical powder to extinguish the fire.
Respiratory and eye protection equipment required for fire fighting personnel exposed to fumes
or smoke.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
Smoke , aldehyde and carbon monoxide may be formed in the event of incomplete combustion. Hydrogen
sulfide and short chain mercaptans may also be released. Under combustion conditions, oxides of Sulfur,
phosphorus, Zinc will be formed.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES PERSONAL

PRECAUTIONS : See Section 8. LAND SPILL :
Shut off source taking normal safety precautions. Prevent liquid from entering sewers, water course
of low lying areas; advise the relevant authorities if it has, or if it contaminates soil/vegetation. Take
measures to minimize the effects on ground water.

Recover by skimming or pumping using explosion-proof equipment, or contain with booms, sand, or other
suitable absorbent andremove mechanically into containers.
If necessary, dispose of adsorbed residues as direct in Section 13.

WATER SPILL :
Confine the spill immediately with booms. Warn other shipping. Notify port and other relevant authorities.
Remove from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents. Disperse the residue in unconfined
waters, if permitted by localauthorities and environmental agencies.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Storage the product in cool, well ventilated surroundings, well away from source of ignition.
Provide suitable mechanical equipment for the safe handling of drums and heavy packages.
Electrical equipment and fitting must comply with local regulations regarding fire prevention with
this class of product.
LOAD/UNLOAD TEMPERATURE, 0C : Ambient to max. 600C
STORAGE TEMPERATURE, 0C : Ambient to max. 600C
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS : Keep containers closed when not in use Prevent
small spills and leakages to avoid slip hazard.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT
5 mg/m3 for oil mists (TWA, 8h - workday) recommended based upon the ACGIH TLV (Analyses
according to US NIOSH Method 5026, NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods, 3rd Ed.).
PERSONAL PROTECTION
In open systems where contact is likely, wear safety goggles, chemical-resistant overalls, and
chemically impervious gloves.
Where only incidental contact is likely, wear safety glasses with side shields. No other special precautions
are necessary provided skin/eye contact is avoided.
When concentration in air exceed the occupational exposure limit, and where engineering, work practices,
or other means of exposure reduction are not adequate, approved respirators may be required.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE :
INHALATION :
Negligible hazard at ambient/normal handling temperatures. Elevated temperatures or mechanical action
may form vapours, mists, or fumes which may be irritating to the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs.
Avoid breathing vapours, mists, or fumes.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

In the absence of specific environmental data for this product, this assessment is based on information for
general hydrocarbon components found in lubricant greases. Lubricant mineral oils and graeses,
immediately following a release into the environment, will remain largely on the soil surface, and in
water, will remain largely on the water surface. Based on chemical/physical information from the
literature for this product category, no harmful effects to terrestrial or aquatic habitats would be
expected. This product is expected to be resistant to biodegradation and to persist in the environment.
