DARINA EP GREASE 2

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Non-hazardous in bulk grease form at low to moderate temperatures. Prolonged exposure to skin may possibly cause skin disorders. High-pressure injection under the skin may cause serious damage including local necrosis. Inhalation of mists or vapours from hot grease may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract. For short and long term exposure effects see Section 11 Toxicological data. Eye Effects: Short-term exposure may cause slight irritation. Skin Effects: Short-term exposure may cause slight irritation. Prolonged or repeated skin contact without proper cleaning can clog the pores of the skin resulting in disorders such as oil acne/folliculitis. Oil acne/folliculitis signs and symptoms may include formation of black pustules and spots on the skin of exposed areas. Ingestion/Oral Effects: Low toxicity on ingestion. Ingestion may result in nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhoea. Inhalation Effects: The product is not expected to be inhaled in any appreciable quantities under normal ambient conditions. Elevated temperatures or mechanical action may form vapours, mists or fumes, inhalation of which may cause irritation of the respiratory tract. Injection Effects High-pressure injection under the skin may cause serious damage including local necrosis (Used grease may contain harmful impurities). Local necrosis is evidenced by delayed onset of pain and tissue damage a few hours following injection.
