temperatures. Avoid storing product in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Storage area must meet OSHA
requirements and applicable fire codes. Consult appropriate federal, state and local authorities before reusing,
reconditioning, reclaiming, recycling or disposing of empty containers or waste residues of this product.

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering Controls: Ventilation controls are not normally required under anticipated conditions of use. Provide
exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls if airborne mists or vapors concentrations exceed recommended
occupational exposure limits listed below. An eye wash station and safety shower should be located near the work-
station.

Personal Protective Equipment: Personal protective equipment should be selected based upon the conditions under
which this material is used. A hazard assessment of the work area for PPE requirements should be conducted by a
MSDS - AUTOGUARD Premium Multi-Purpose Lithium EP Grease Page 4 of 8

qualified professional pursuant to OSHA regulations. The following pictograms represent the minimum requirements for
personal protective equipment. For certain operations, additional PPE may be required.

Eye Protection: Safety glasses equipped with side shields are recommended as minimum protection in industrial
settings. Wear goggles if splashing or spraying is anticipated. Wear goggles and face shield if material is heated above
125°F (51°C). Have suitable eye wash water available.

Hand Protection: None required for incidental contact. Use gloves constructed of chemical resistant materials such as
heavy nitrile rubber if frequent or prolonged contact is expected. Use heat-protective gloves when handling product at
elevated temperatures.

Body Protection: Use clean protective clothing if splashing or spraying conditions are present. Protective clothing may
include long-sleeve outer garment, apron, or lab coat. If significant contact occurs, remove oil-contaminated clothing as
soon as possible and promptly shower. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse or discard. Wear heat protective
boots and protective clothing when handling material at elevated temperatures.

Respiratory Protection: The need for respiratory protection is not anticipated under normal use conditions and with
adequate ventilation. If elevated airborne concentrations above applicable workplace exposure levels are anticipated, a
NIOSH-approved organic vapor respirator equipped with a dust/mist pre-filter should be used. Protection factors vary
depending upon the type of respirator used. Respirators should be used in accordance with OSHA requirements (29 CFR
1910.134).

General Comments: Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands and other exposed skin areas with plenty of
mild soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking, use of toilet facilities, or leaving work. DO NOT use gasoline,
kerosene, solvents or harsh abrasives as skin cleaners. Since specific exposure standards/control limits have not been

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

For other health-related information, refer to the Emergency Overview on Page 1 and the Hazards Identification
in Section 3 of this MSDS.

Toxicity Data: Highly-refined petroleum lubricant oils

ORAL (LD50): Acute: >5000 mg/kg [Rat]
DERMAL (LD50: Acute: .2000 mg/kg [Rabbit]

Mineral oil mists derived from highly refined oils are reported to have low acute and sub-acute toxicities in animals.
Effects from single and short-term repeated exposures to high concentrations of mineral oil mists well above applicable
workplace exposure levels include lung inflammatory reaction, lipoid granuloma formation and lipoid pneumonia. In
acute and sub-acute studies involving exposures to lower concentrations of mineral oil mists at or near current work place
exposure levels produced no significant toxicological effects. In long term studies (up to two years) no carcinogenic
effects have been reported in any animal species tested.

Asphalt ORAL (LD50): Acute: >5000 mg/kg [Rat]

DERMAL (LD50): Acute: >2000 mg/kg [Rabbit]

Asphalt fumes have been associated with eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. Repeated or prolonged contact with
asphalt at ambient temperatures can result in skin irritation. Long-term exposure can cause dermatitis, acne,
photosensitization and, more rarely, pigmentation of the skin. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
has determined that there is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of extracts of steam-refined bitumens, air refined
bitumens and pooled mixtures of steam- and air-refined bitumens in experimental animals. Further, IARC has
determined that there is limited evidence for the carcinogenicity of undiluted steam-refined bitumens in experimental
animals. Also, IARC determined that there is inadequate evidence that bitumens alone are carcinogenic to humans.

Grease: Injection of pressurized hydrocarbons under the skin, in muscle or into the blood stream can cause irritation,
inflammation, swelling, fever and mild central nervous system depression. Injection of pressurized hydrocarbons can
cause severe, permanent tissue damage.

SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

MSDS - AUTOGUARD Premium Multi-Purpose Lithium EP Grease Page 6 of 8

Ecotoxicity: Ecotoxicity data are not available for this product.

Environmental Fate: An environmental fate analysis is not available for this specific product. Plants and animals may
experience harmful or fatal effects when coated with petroleum products. Petroleum-based (mineral) lubricating oils
normally will float on water. In stagnant or slow-flowing waterways, an oil layer can cover a large surface area. As a
result, this oil layer might limit or eliminate natural atmospheric oxygen transport into the water. With time, if not
removed, oxygen depletion in the waterways may be sufficient to cause a fish kill or create an anaerobic environment.

SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Hazard characteristic and regulatory waste stream classification can change with product use. Accordingly,
it is the responsibility of the user to determine the proper storage, transportation, treatment and/or disposal
methodologies for spent materials and residues at the time of disposition.
