SECTION 3 – COMPOSITION/INGREDIENTS
ComponentCAS #WT %Oilseed Plant based ester
9083-41-4>90%
Silicon dioxide thickening agent
99439-28-8<10%
SECTION 4 – FIRST-AID MEASURES
General This product has been formulated to be benign with reference to Australian regulatory standards NOHSC and ADG.
Information: During use on hot surfaces, product may become hot. Take precautions to avoid burns.
Treatment Recommendations
Flush with water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids apart. Get medical
attention if irritation or other symptoms occur.
Skin: None expected
Wash with soap and water.
Inhalation: Irritation (from fumes)
If exposed to excessive vapors or mists, remove to fresh air and get medical
attention if cough or other symptoms develop.
Ingestion: Abdominal cramping
Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
SECTION 5 – FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Equipment: CO2, dry chemical, alcohol foam. Avoid high-pressure water jet.
Specific Hazards from Combustion: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to combustion products, which
may be toxic or irritating. Combustion products may include and are not limited to carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Unusual Hazards: Combustible materials impregnated with this product may spontaneously ignite.
Fire Fighting Procedures : Keep people away. Fight fire from a safe distance with adequate ventilation, or wear positive
pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Using water can cause
frothing with increase of fire intensity.
SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: Spills may be slippery. Prevent entry into spill area by unauthorized persons.
Emergency Procedures:Sprinkle inert, non-slip material onto spill if it cannot be cleaned up immediately.
Minimize entry of material into sewers and drainage systems.
Containment Procedures: Absorb spill with inert material (earth, clay, commercial absorbent for oil) then place into
container for disposal. Do not use combustible material (such as sawdust) as an absorbent.
SECTION 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions: Although this material does not present a significant skin or eye concern, skin and eye contact
should be avoided as a general industrial practice. Gloves are not required, but may bedesirable for repeated or long term contact. Wearing eye protection is recommended. Wash
hands and contaminated skin after handling. Combustible materials such as sawdust and rags
impregnated with this material may spontaneously ignite.
Recommendations: Store in original containers in a cool dry place away from strong oxidizers and acids. Store
above -9° C (15° F). Keep away from children and adults with dementia.
SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTIO N
Permissible Exposure Limits:
None establishedEngineering Controls: When used indoors on a hot surface, control fumes with local exhaust ventilation.
Personal Protection: Eyes: Use safety glasses if there is a possibility for exposure.
Skin: Wear impervious gloves as needed. Wear impervious heat insulated gloves whenworking with hot material.
Respiratory: Wear MIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator as needed to control
exposure to smoke or fumes generated during use. Consult with respirator manufacturer
to determine respirator selection, use, and limitations. Follow respiratory protection
program requirements (OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2) for all respirator use.
Additional: It is good general practice to provide eyewash stations or rinse bottles.
Special Requirements: None
