ME-PB

Potential health effects

From Overexposure

Principle Routes of Exposure

Effects Skin Contact: Ambient - Slight skin irritation may occur. Elevated Temperature - Oil-type burns may occur. Eye Contact: Ambient - Slight eye irritation may occur. Elevated Temperature - Vapor may cause irritation. Oil-type burns may occur. Inhalation: Ambient - None anticipated. Elevated Temperature - May produce various carbon oxides which cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Ingestion: Not expected to be acutely toxic -- may have a laxative effect. Fire and Explosive Properties Flash Point (C.O.C.) ................. 3500 F Lower Explosive Limit............. Not Applicable Upper Explosive Limit ............. Not Applicable Auto-Ignition Temperature ..... Not Available Reactivity Information Instability: This material is considered to be stable at ambient. However, as the temperature elevates, normal fat oxidation will accelerate. Contact with metals causes slow corrosion and discoloration. Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing materials and contact with elements 24 through 30. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Overheating may produce carbon oxides (to include acrolein). As with any organic material, combustion will produce carbon dioxide. Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. Accident Prevention Information Exposure Limit None known for ME-PB. Personal Protection Measures Respiratory Protection: Needed only at elevated temperatures or under conditions of misting. Use an OSHA or NIOSH approved respirator. Local exhaust not needed at ambient temperature. General mechanical ventilation is recom- mended. Eye Protection: Safety glasses or face shield may be desired with use of product at ambient temperature to prevent splash accidents. However, general use has not indicated eye irritation with use of product at ambient. Hand Protection: Gloves are generally not required at ambient temperature unless individual displays signs of irritation from exposure. At temperatures above ambient, normal oil-resistant thermal protection is recommended. Other Protection: None at ambient -- normal oil-resistant thermal protection when heated. ® Geo.

Local exhaust recommend at elevated temperature or in the presence of mist or fumes. Other Protective Equipment: None anticipated. Storage and Handling Information
