3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
PHYSICAL / CHEMICAL TOXICITY / SYMPTOMS

Combustible liquid.
Lighter than water. It can obstruct
sewers and water intakes.
Inhalation: Short-term exposures to vapours and oil mists cause
respiratory tract irritation. Long-term exposures can cause lung fibrosis.
Ingestion: Intestinal absorption is very low. Accidental intake of large
amounts causes gastrointestinal tract irritation, nausea, vomiting and
diarrhoea.
Contact skin: Low skin percutaneous toxicity in short-term exposures.
Long-term exposures produce smarting, redness, irritation and dermatitis
due to keratin layer defatting.
Contact eyes: Repeated exposures to vapours or liquid cause irritation.
General toxic effects: Irritation by contact with liquids and by prolonged
inhalation of vapours or oil mists.

 4. FIRST AID
Inhalation: Move the affected person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, apply artificial respiration or administer
oxygen. Call for medical attention.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, have the victim drink water or milk. Call for medical attention.

Contact skin: Flush the affected areas with soap and water.

Contact eyes: Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call for medical attention.

General measures: Call for medical attention.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

WATER SHOULD NEVER BE USED DIRECTLY.

Non suitable extinguishing agents: NP

Combustion products: CO2, H2O, CO (in incomplete combustion).

Special measures: Move containers away from fire area. Keep fire-exposed containers cool. Consult and follow
existing emergency standard procedures.

Special hazards: NP

Protective equipment: Firefighters’ protective clothing. At high concentration of vapours and/or fumes, self-
contained breathing apparatus will be needed.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Precautions for the environment: Hazard of physical Personal precautions: Avoid prolonged contact
fouling to coasts, soils, etc., due to low solubility and with contaminated clothes or with the product and
high viscosity of the oils. Avoid the product entering inhalation of vapours and mists.
water intakes and sewers.

Cleanup methods: Personal protection: Suitable protective clothing,

Small spillages: Take up with non-combustible absorbent gloves and goggles should be worn during the
materials. Transfer to sealed containers for later disposal. clean up operation.
Large spillages: Dike far ahead of liquid spill.

 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:

General precautions: Avoid prolonged contact and inhalation of mists and vapours from heated oils.
During transfer avoid contact with air, use pumps and connections properly earthed to prevent generation
of electrostatic charges. The contaminated air should be filtered before discharge.

Specific conditions: During transfer, safety goggles or face-shield and gloves are recommended to protect
from splashes. Good ventilation, standing outside of vapour plumes, exposure monitoring and avoidance
of spillages. Special procedures during bulk loading (earthing), cleaning and maintaining the tanks to avoid
vapour exposure. Do not weld in empty tanks without previous purging.

Storage:

Temperature and decomposition products: Carbon monoxide (toxic gas) and asphyxiants could be emitted
at high temperatures by incomplete combustion.

Dangerous reactions: NP

Storage conditions: Keep the product in properly sealed and labelled containers in cool and well-
ventilated place. Keep them away from heat and sources of ignition. Do not smoke, weld or do any work
that can produce flames or sparks in storage area. Keep away from strong oxidants.

Incompatible materials: Strong oxidants.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Personal protection:

Respiratory protection: Low vapour pressure. The Eye protection: Safety goggles to protect from
product is slightly volatile at room temperature and does splashes.
not present special risks. In presence of heated oils, wear
protective masks to avoid vapour inhalation.

Skin protection: Impervious gloves (Do not use natural Other protective equipment: Showers and eye-wash
or butyl rubber) fountains in the work area.

General precautions: Avoid prolonged contact and inhalation of mists and vapours from heated oils. Local
exhaust ventilation should be installed to capture and remove emissions near to the point of generation.

Specific hygiene measures: Contaminated footwear should be discarded. Contaminated clothing should not be
laundered with other clothing. Care should be taken to ensure proper skin cleaning by washing thoroughly with
soap and water, followed by the application of a skin re-conditioning cream.

Exposure controls: TLV/TWA (ACGIH): 5 mg/m3 (oil mist)

 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Pollutant potential:

Persistence and degradability: The material is oily and viscous and floats on water. It presents a high
physical fouling potential, mainly in sea-spills; by contact destroys small aquatic organisms and makes
living difficult for upper organisms, not allowing the sunlight to reach underlying marine ecosystems and
may interfere with surface air exchange resulting in lower levels of dissolved oxygen affecting its normal
development. It is not readily biodegradable.

Mobility/bioaccumulative potential: There are no data to indicate that the product is significantly
bioaccumulated by aquatic organisms or incidence in the trophic food chain, although it may cause long-
term adverse effects in the aquatic environment, due to its high physical fouling potential.

Ecotoxicological effect: Dangerous for aquatic life in high concentrations (spillages).

LL50: >1,000 mg/l (lubricant base oils).

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Disposal methods (surplus): Recycling and recovery of base oils when possible.

Waste: Liquids and solids from industrial processes; do not attempt to clean containers since residue is difficult
to remove; dispose in a safe way.

Disposal: Only in specific prepared and controlled areas. Avoid releasing waste oils to sewers because
they can destroy water treatment plant microorganisms.

Handling: Labelled and sealed containers. Avoid direct contact with waste oils.

Provisions: Companies that recover, dispose, store, transport or handle waste should comply with local
and/or national provisions in force on waste management.

14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION

Special precautions: Stable at room temperature and during transport.
