has, or if it contaminates soil/vegetation.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: See Section 8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDLING: High pressure injection under the skin may occur due to the
rupture of pressurized lines. Always seek medical attention. No
special precautions are necessary beyond normal good hygiene
practices. See Section 8 for additional personal protection advice
when handling this product.
STORAGE: Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not store in open or
unlabelled containers. Store away from strong oxidizing agents and
combustible materials. Do not store near heat, sparks, flame or
strong oxidants.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: Prevent small spills and leakages to avoid slip
hazard.
EMPTY CONTAINER WARNING: Empty containers retain residue (liquid and/or
vapor) and can be dangerous. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE,
SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME,
SPARKS, STATIC ELECTRICITY, OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION; THEY MAY
EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. Do not attempt to refill or clean
container since residue is difficult to remove. Empty drums should
be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to a
drum reconditioner. All containers should be disposed of in an
environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental
regulations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
When mists/aerosols can occur, the following are recommended: 5 mg/m3
(as oil mist)- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV), 10 mg/m3 (as oil mist)
- ACGIH Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL), 5 mg/m3 (as oil mist) - OSHA
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL)
VENTILATION: If mists are generated, use adequate ventilation, local
exhaust or enclosures to control below exposure limits.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If mists are generated, and/or when ventilation
is not adequate, wear approved respirator.
EYE PROTECTION: If eye contact is likely, safety glasses with side
shields or chemical type goggles should be worn.

Page 5 of 7
samples had virtually no effect other than a nonspecific
inflammatory response in the lung to the aerosolized mineral oil.
The presence of additives in other tested formulations (in
approximately the same amounts as in the present formulation) did
not alter the observed effects.
---REPRODUCTIVE TOXICOLOGY (SUMMARY)---
No teratogenic effects would be expected from dermal exposure, based on
laboratory developmental toxicity studies of major components in
this formulation and/or materials of similar composition.
---CHRONIC TOXICOLOGY (SUMMARY)---
Repeated and/or prolonged exposure may cause irritation to the skin, eyes
or respiratory tract. Overexposure to oil mist may result in oil
droplet deposition and/or granuloma formation. For mineral base
oils: Base oils in this product are severely solvent refined and/or
severely hydrotreated. Chronic mouse skin painting studies of
severely treated oils showed no evidence of carcinogenic effects.
These results are confirmed on a continuing basis using various
screening methods such as Modified Ames Test, IP-346, and/or other
analytical methods. For synthetic base oils: The base oils in this
product have been tested in the Ames assay and other tests of
mutagenicity with negative results. These base oils are not
expected to be carcinogenic with chronic dermal exposures.
---SENSITIZATION (SUMMARY)---
Not expected to be sensitizing based on tests of similar type of products.
