followed for the development of long-term sequelae. Inhalation exposure to oil mists below current workplace
exposure limits is unlikely o cause pulmonary abnormalities.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: 390F-D92 LEL/UEL % No Data Auto Igniton Temperature: No Data
OSHA Flammability Class: Not applicable
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide,
foam, or water spray is recommended. Water or foam may cause frothing of
materials heated above 212F. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in
confined spaces.
Fire Fighting Instructions: For fires beyond the incipient stage, emergency responders in the immediate hazard area should wear bunker
gear. When the potential chemical hazard in unknow, in enclosed or confined spaces, or when explicitly required
by DOT, a self contained breathing apparatus should be worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective
equipment as conditions warrant(see Section 8). Isolate immediate hazard area, keep unauthorized personnel out.
Stop spill release if it can be done with minimal risk. Move undamaged containers from immediate hazard area if it
can done with minimal risk. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors and to protect
personnel. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done with minimal risk. Avoid spreading burning
liquid with water used for cooling purposes.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: This material may burn, but will not ignite readily. Vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate in low areas. If
container is not properly cooled, it can rupture in the heat of a fire.
6. ACCIDENTIAL RELEASE MEASURES
Accidental Release
Measures:
This material may burn, but will not ignite readily. Keep all sources of ignition away from spill/release. Stay
upwind and away from spill/release. Notify persons down wind of the spill/release, isolate immediate hazard area
and keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done with minimal rish. Wear appropriate
protective equipment including respiratory protection as conditions warrant(see Section 8).
Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized drainage systems, and natural
waterways. Dike far ahead of spill for later recovery or disposal. Spilled material may be absorbed into an
appropriate absorbent material.
Notify fire authorities and appropriate federal, state and local agencies. Immediate cleanup of any spill is
recommended. If spill of any amount is made into or upon navigable waters, the contiguous zone, or adjoining
shorelines, notify the National Response Center(phone number 800-424-8802).
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks or pits without following proper entry procedures such as ASTM D-4276
and 29CFR 1910.146. The use of appropriate respiratory protection is advised when concentrations exceed any
established exposure limits(See Section 2 and 8).
Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes. Use good personal hygiene practices.
High pressure injection of hydrocarbon fuels, hydraulic oils or greases under the skin may have serious consequences
even though no symtoms or injury may be apparent. This can happen accidentally when using high pressure
equipment such as high pressure grease guns, fuel injectiton appartus or from pinhole leaks in tubing of high pressure
hydraulic oil equipment.
Empty containers retain residue and may be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or
expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or
death. Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly shipped to the supplier or drum
reconditioner. All containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with
governmental regulations.
Before working on or in tanks which contain or have contained this material, refer to OSHA regulations, ANSI Z49.1
and other references pertaining to cleaning, repairing, welding, or other contemplated operations.
Storage: Keep container(s) tightly closed. Use and store this material in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from heat and all
sources of ignition. Storage temperatures above 113F may lead to thermal decomposition, resulting in the generation
of hydrogen sulfide and other sulfur containing gases. Store only in approved containers. Keep away from any
incompatible material(see Section 10). Protect container(s) against physical damage.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below the
established exposure limits(see Section 2), additional ventilation of exhaust system may be
required.
Other Protective Equipment: A source of clean water should be available in the work area for flushing eyes and skin. Impervious
clothing should be worn as needed.
Eye/Face: Approved eye protection to safeguard against potential eye contact,
irritation, or injury is
recommended. Depending on conditions of use, a face shield may be necessary.
Skin: The use of gloves impervious is the specific material handled is advised to prevent skin contact and
