Inhalation Move to fresh air. Loosen any restrictive clothing, clear airway, and have the person lay

down and remain quiet. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,

give oxygen. Aspiration into lungs can produce severe lung damage. Get medical attention

immediately if symptoms occur.

Personal Precautions Use personal protective equipment. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid contact with

skin, eyes and clothing. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.

Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact None.

Protective Equipment and

Precautions for Firefighters

As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH

(approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

Environmental Precautions Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Should not be released into the

environment. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Prevent further

leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent product from entering drains. Water spill: This

product is regulated as oil under the Clean Water Act. Follow all applicable regulations.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media

Methods for Containment Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later

disposal.

Sensitivity to Static Discharge None.

Methods for Cleaning Up Use personal protective equipment. Dam up. Cover liquid spill with sand, earth or other

noncombustible absorbent material. Soak up with inert absorbent material. Take up

mechanically and collect in suitable container for disposal. Clean contaminated surface

thoroughly.

Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Hazardous Combustion Products

Other information Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 7 and 8.

Explosion Data 

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Specific hazards arising from the

chemical

Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. In the event of

fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Heating of containers may cause pressure rise,

with risk of bursting. Avoid prolonged contact with rags or other porous materials - may

spontaneously combust. Always store rags used for wiping purposes that may have

contacted this product in an appropriate metal container.

Carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon dioxide (CO2). Nitrogen oxides (NOx). Sulfur oxides (SOx).

Phosphorus oxides (POx). Hydrocarbons. Decomposes in a fire giving off toxic fumes and

dense clouds of smoke.

Personal Protective Equipment 

9.1 Information on Basic Physical and Chemical Properties 

Exposure Guidelines

Physical State: Liquid

Eye/Face Protection Tightly fitting safety goggles. If splashes are likely to occur, wear: Goggles, Face-shield.

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Wear

personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. In case of insufficient

ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Handle product only in closed system or

provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Never pierce, drill, grind, cut, saw or

weld any empty container. Persons with history of dermal or respiratory sensitization should

not work with or near this chemical. There is a hazard associated with rags, paper or any

other material used to remove spills which become soaked with product. Avoid

accumulation of these: they are to be disposed off safely after use.

Skin and Body Protection Impervious gloves. Boots. Chemical resistant apron. When handling hot material, use heat

resistant gloves. Wear protective gloves and additional protective clothing as necessary to

prevent exposures.

Technical Measures/Storage

Conditions

Respiratory Protection If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH/MSHA approved

respiratory protection should be worn. Positive-pressure supplied air respirators may be

required for high airborne contaminant concentrations. Respiratory protection must be

provided in accordance with current local regulations.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

9.2 Other information 

Keep out of the reach of children. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and

well-ventilated place. Keep in properly labeled containers. Keep away from heat and

sources of ignition. Keep away from direct sunlight. Do not remove the hazard labels of the

containers (even if they are empty). Store away from incompatible materials (see section

10). Store in original container. Do not re-use empty containers.

Density VALUE 7.84 lbs/gal @ 25°C / 77°F

Engineering Measures If user operations generate mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants

below the applicable exposure limits. Refer to the current exposure limits for oil mist,

triethylene tetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, and diethylenetriamine

Hygiene Measures

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before

re-use. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Contaminated work clothing

should not be allowed out of the workplace. Provide regular cleaning of equipment, work

area and clothing. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. For environmental protection,

remove and wash all contaminated protective equipment before re-use. Wear suitable

gloves and eye/face protection.
