4. FIRST AID MEASURES Symptoms and Effects Not expected to give rise to an acute hazard under normal conditions of use. Inhalation In the unlikely event of dizziness or nausea, remove casualty to fresh air. If symptoms persist, obtain medical attention. Skin Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected skin with soap and water. If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical attention. When using high pressure equipment, injection of product under the skin can occur. If high pressure injuries occur, the casualty should be sent immediately to a hospital. Do not wait for symptoms to develop. Eye Flush eye with copious quantities of water. If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical attention. Ingestion Wash out mouth with water and obtain medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Advice to Doctor Treat symptomatically. Aspiration into the lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis. Dermatitis may result from prolonged or repeated exposure. High pressure injection injuries require prompt surgical intervention and possibly steroid therapy, to minimise tissue damage and loss of function. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Specific Hazards Combustion is likely to give rise to a complex mixture of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases, including carbon monoxide and unidentified organic and inorganic compounds. Extinguishing Media Foam and dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media Water in jet. Use of halon extinguishers should be avoided for environmental reasons. Protective Equipment Proper protective equipment including breathing apparatus must be worn when approaching a fire in a confined space. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear PVC, Neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves. Wear rubber knee length safety boots and PVC Jacket and Trousers. Wear safety glasses or full face shield if splashes are likely to occur. Environmental Precautions Prevent from spreading or entering into drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers. Inform local authorities if this cannot be prevented. Clean-up Methods - Small Spillages Absorb liquid with sand or earth. Sweep up and remove to a suitable, clearly marked container for disposal in accordance with local regulations.

Clean-up Methods - Large Spillages Prevent from spreading by making a barrier with sand, earth or other containment material. Reclaim liquid directly or in an absorbent. Dispose of as for small spills. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Use local exhaust ventilation if there is risk of inhalation of vapours, mists or aerosols. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. When handling product in drums, safety footwear should be worn and proper handling equipment should be used. Prevent spillages. Cloth, paper and other materials that are used to absorb spills present a fire hazard. Avoid their accumulation by disposing of them safely and immediately. In addition to any specific recommendations given for controls of risks to health, safety and the environment, an assessment of risks must be made to help determine controls appropriate to local circumstances. Storage Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Use properly labelled and closeable containers. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, and strong oxidizing agents. Storage Temperatures -50C Minimum. 50C Maximum. Recommended Materials For containers or container linings, use mild steel or high density polyethylene. Unsuitable Materials For containers or container linings, avoid PVC. Other Information Polyethylene containers should not be exposed to high temperatures because of possible risk of distortion. 8.

Exposure Controls Use local exhaust ventilation if there is a risk of inhalation of vapours, mists or aerosols. Respiratory Protection Not normally required. If oil mist cannot be controlled, a respirator fitted with an organic vapour cartridge combined with a particulate pre-filter should be used. Hand Protection PVC or nitrile rubber gloves. Eye Protection Wear safety glasses or full face shield if splashes are likely to occur. Body Protection Minimise all forms of skin contact. Overalls and shoes with oil resistant soles should be worn. Launder overalls and undergarments regularly.

Skin Irritation Expected to be slightly irritating. Respiratory Irritation If mists are inhaled, slight irritation of the respiratory tract may occur. Skin Sensitisation Not expected to be a skin sensitizer. Carcinogenicity Product is based on mineral oils of types shown to be non-carcinogenic in animal skin-painting studies. Other components are not known to be associated with carcinogenic effects. Mutagenicity Not considered to be a mutagenic hazard. Reproductive Toxicity Not considered to be toxic to reproduction. Other Information Prolonged and/or repeated contact with this product can result in defatting of the skin, particularly at elevated temperatures. This can lead to irritation and possibly dermatitis, especially under conditions of poor personal hygiene. Skin contact should be minimised. High pressure injection of product into the skin may lead to local necrosis if the product is not surgically removed. Used oils may contain harmful impurities that have accumulated during use. The concentration of such impurities will depend on use and they may present risks to health and the environment on disposal. ALL used oil should be handled with caution and skin contact avoided as far as possible. 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Basis for Assessment Ecotoxicological data have not been determined specifically for this product. Information given is based on a knowledge of the components and the ecotoxicology of similar products. Mobility Liquid under most environmental conditions. Floats on water. If it enters soil, it will adsorb to soil particles and will not be mobile. Persistence / Degradability Not expected to be readily biodegradable. Major constituents are expected to be inherently biodegradable, but the product contains components that may persist in the environment. Bioaccumulation Contains components with the potential to bioaccumulate. Ecotoxicity Poorly soluble mixture. May cause physical fouling of aquatic organisms. Practically non-toxic, LC/EC50 > 100 mg/L, to aquatic organisms. (LL/EL50 expressed as the nominal amount of product required to prepare aqueous test extract). Mineral oil is not expected to cause any chronic effects to aquatic organisms at concentrations less than 1 mg/l. Other Adverse Effects Not expected to have ozone depletion potential, photochemical ozone creation potential or global warming potential. Product is a mixture of non-volatile components, which are not expected to be released to air in any significant quantities.
