Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water

and follow by washing with soap if available. 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. Obtain medical attention even in the absence of

apparent wounds.

: Skin Contact

Flush eye with copious quantities of water. If persistent irritation

occurs, obtain medical attention.

: Eye Contact

In general no treatment is necessary unless large quantities

are swallowed, however, get medical advice.

: Ingestion

Local necrosis is evidenced by delayed onset of pain and

tissue damage a few hours following injection. Oil

acne/folliculitis signs and symptoms may include formation of

black pustules and spots on the skin of exposed areas.

Ingestion may result in nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhoea.

: Most Important

Symptoms/Effects, Acute

& Delayed

Treat symptomatically. High pressure injection injuries require

prompt surgical intervention and possibly steroid therapy, to

minimise tissue damage and loss of function. Because entry

wounds are small and do not reflect the seriousness of the

underlying damage, surgical exploration to determine the

extent of involvement may be necessary. Local anaesthetics or

hot soaks should be avoided because they can contribute to

swelling, vasospasm and ischaemia. Prompt surgical

decompression, debridement and evacuation of foreign

material should be performed under general anaesthetics, and

wide exploration is essential.

this document, it is provided for information only.

Occupational Exposure Limits

Notation mg/m3 ppm Type Source Material

5 mg/m3 TWA

[Inhalable

fraction.]

ACGIH Oil mist, mineral

Due to the product's semi-solid consistency, generation of

mists and dusts is unlikely to occur.

: Additional Information

Biological Exposure Index (BEI)

No biological limit allocated.

The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary

depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls

based on a risk assessment of local circumstances.

Appropriate measures include: Adequate ventilation to control

airborne concentrations. Where material is heated, sprayed or

mist formed, there is greater potential for airborne

concentrations to be generated. Define procedures for safe

handling and maintenance of controls. Educate and train

workers in the hazards and control measures relevant to

normal activities associated with this product. Ensure

appropriate selection, testing and maintenance of equipment

used to control exposure, e.g. personal protective equipment,

local exhaust ventilation. Drain down system prior to equipment

break-in or maintenance. Retain drain downs in sealed storage

pending disposal or for subsequent recycle. Always observe

good personal hygiene measures, such as washing hands after

handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or

smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective

equipment to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated

clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned. Practice good

housekeeping.

No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal

conditions of use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene

practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of

material. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne

concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker

health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the

specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation.

Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where

air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate

combination of mask and filter. Select a filter suitable for

combined particulate/organic gases and vapours [boiling point

>65°C(149 °F)].

: Respiratory Protection

Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of

gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374,

US: F739) made from the following materials may provide

suitable chemical protection: PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber

gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on

usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical

resistance of glove material, dexterity. Always seek advice from

glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced.

Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care.

Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves,

hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a

non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended. For continuous

contact we recommend gloves with breakthrough time of more

than 240 minutes with preference for > 480 minutes where

suitable gloves can be identified. For short-term/splash

protection we recommend the same, but recognise that

suitable gloves offering this level of protection may not be

available and in this case a lower breakthrough time may be

acceptable so long as appropriate maintenance and

replacement regimes are followed. Glove thickness is not a

good predictor of glove resistance to a chemical as it is

dependent on the exact composition of the glove material.

: Hand Protection

Wear safety glasses or full face shield if splashes are likely to

occur.

: Eye Protection

Skin protection not ordinarily required beyond standard issue

work clothes.

: Protective Clothing

Not applicable. : Thermal Hazards

Monitoring of the concentration of substances in the breathing

zone of workers or in the general workplace may be required to

confirm compliance with an OEL and adequacy of exposure

controls. For some substances biological monitoring may also

be appropriate. Validated exposure measurement methods

should be applied by a competent person and samples

analysed by an accredited laboratory. Examples of sources of

recommended exposure measurement methods are given

below or contact the supplier. Further national methods may be

available.

mist formed, there is greater potential for airborne

concentrations to be generated. Define procedures for safe

handling and maintenance of controls. Educate and train

workers in the hazards and control measures relevant to

normal activities associated with this product. Ensure

appropriate selection, testing and maintenance of equipment

used to control exposure, e.g. personal protective equipment,

local exhaust ventilation. Drain down system prior to equipment

break-in or maintenance. Retain drain downs in sealed storage

pending disposal or for subsequent recycle. Always observe

good personal hygiene measures, such as washing hands after

handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or

smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective

equipment to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated

clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned. Practice good

housekeeping.

Individual Protection

Measures

: Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet

recommended national standards. Check with PPE suppliers.

Respiratory Protection : No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal

conditions of use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene

practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of

material. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne

concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker

health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the

specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation.

Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where

air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate

combination of mask and filter. Select a filter suitable for

combined particulate/organic gases and vapours [boiling point

>65°C(149 °F)].

Hand Protection : Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of

gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374,

US: F739) made from the following materials may provide

suitable chemical protection: PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber

gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on

usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical

resistance of glove material, dexterity. Always seek advice

from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced.

Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care.

Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves,

hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a

non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended. For continuous

contact we recommend gloves with breakthrough time of more

than 240 minutes with preference for > 480 minutes where

suitable gloves can be identified. For short-term/splash

protection we recommend the same, but recognise that

suitable gloves offering this level of protection may not be

available and in this case a lower breakthrough time may be

acceptable so long as appropriate maintenance and

replacement regimes are followed. Glove thickness is not a

good predictor of glove resistance to a chemical as it is

dependent on the exact composition of the glove material.

Eye Protection : Wear safety glasses or full face shield if splashes are likely to

occur.

Protective Clothing : Skin protection not ordinarily required beyond standard issue

work clothes.

Thermal Hazards : Not applicable.

Monitoring Methods : Monitoring of the concentration of substances in the breathing

zone of workers or in the general workplace may be required to

confirm compliance with an OEL and adequacy of exposure

controls. For some substances biological monitoring may also

be appropriate. Validated exposure measurement methods

should be applied by a competent person and samples

analysed by an accredited laboratory. Examples of sources of

recommended exposure measurement methods are given

below or contact the supplier. Further national methods may be

available.
