SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES 4.1 Description of first aid measures Eye: No specific first aid measures are required. As a precaution, remove contact lenses, if worn, and flush eyes with water. Skin: No specific first aid measures are required. As a precaution, remove clothing and shoes if contaminated. To remove the material from skin, apply a waterless hand cleaner, mineral oil, or petroleum jelly. Then wash with soap and water. Discard contaminated clothing and shoes or thoroughly clean before reuse. Ingestion: No specific first aid measures are required. Do not induce vomiting. As a precaution, get medical advice. Inhalation: No specific first aid measures are required. If exposed to excessive levels of material in the air, move the exposed person to fresh air. Get medical attention if coughing or respiratory discomfort occurs. 4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed IMMEDIATE SYMPTOMS AND HEALTH EFFECTS Eye: Not expected to cause prolonged or significant eye irritation. Skin: High-Pressure Equipment Information: Accidental high-velocity injection under the skin of materials of this type may result in serious injury. Seek medical attention at once should an accident like this occur. The initial wound at the injection site may not appear to be serious at first; but, if left untreated, could result in disfigurement or amputation of the affected part. Contact with the skin is not expected to be harmful. Ingestion: Not expected to be harmful if swallowed. Inhalation: Not expected to be harmful if inhaled. Contains a petroleum-based mineral oil. May cause respiratory irritation or other pulmonary effects following prolonged or repeated inhalation of oil mist at airborne levels above the recommended mineral oil mist exposure limit. Symptoms of respiratory irritation may include coughing and difficulty breathing. DELAYED OR OTHER SYMPTOMS AND HEALTH EFFECTS: Not classified. 4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Not applicable. SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES 5.1 Extinguishing media Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames. 5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Combustion Products: Highly dependent on combustion conditions. A complex mixture of airborne solids, liquids, and gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and unidentified organic compounds will be evolved when this material undergoes combustion. Copper, Nitrogen . 5.3 Advice for firefighters This material will burn although it is not easily ignited. See Section 7 for proper handling and storage. For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space without proper protective equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus. SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spilled material. Refer to Sections 5 and 8 for more information. 6.2 Environmental precautions Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Contain release to prevent further contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater. 6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Clean up spill as soon as possible, observing precautions in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as applying non-combustible absorbent materials or pumping. Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated soil and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable requirements. Place other contaminated materials in disposable containers and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable requirements. Report spills to local authorities as appropriate or required. 6.4 Reference to other sections See sections 8 and 13. SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE 7.1 Precautions for safe handling General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and drainage systems and bodies of water. Precautionary Measures: Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Wash thoroughly after handling. Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures. Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty container or it may rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, 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. Empty containers should be completely drained, properly closed, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of properly. 7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Not Applicable 7.3 Specific end use(s):Commercial Grease SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS: Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 2), applicable exposure limits, job activities, and other substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and selecting personal protective equipment. If engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent exposure to harmful levels of this material, the personal protective equipment listed below is recommended. The user should read and understand all instructions and limitations supplied with the equipment since protection is usually provided for a limited time or under certain circumstances. Refer to appropriate CEN standards. 8.1 Control parameters Occupational Exposure Limits: Component Country/ Form TWA STEL Ceiling Notation Agency Highly refined mineral oil United -- 5 mg/m3 10 mg/m3 -- (C15 - C50) Kingdom Graphite United Inhalable dust 10 mg/m3 -- Kingdom Graphite United Respirable dust 4 mg/m3 -- Kingdom Graphite United -- 4 mg/m3 -- Kingdom Talc United Respirable dust 1 mg/m3 -- Kingdom Copper United Fume .2 mg/m3 -- Kingdom Copper United Inhalable dusts 1 mg/m3 2 mg/m3 -- Kingdom and mists Copper United Respirable dust 4 mg/m3 -- Kingdom Copper United Total inhalable 10 mg/m3 2 mg/m3 -- Kingdom dust Consult local authorities for appropriate values. 8.2 Exposure controls ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use in a well-ventilated area. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Eye/Face Protection: No special eye protection is normally required. Where splashing is possible, wear safety glasses with side shields as a good safety practice. Skin Protection: No special protective clothing is normally required. Where splashing is possible, select protective clothing depending on operations conducted, physical requirements and other substances in the workplace. Suggested materials for protective gloves include: Neoprene, Nitrile Rubber. Respiratory Protection: No respiratory protection is normally required. If user operations generate an oil mist, determine if airborne concentrations are below the occupational exposure limit for mineral oil mist. If not, wear an approved respirator that provides adequate protection from the measured concentrations of this material. For air- purifying respirators use a particulate cartridge. ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE CONTROLS: See relevant Community environmental protection legislation or the Annex, as applicable.
