SECTION 2: Hazards identification

The product is classed as Xi : Irritating to eyes. It is also harmful to aquatic organisms. Health & Safety The undiluted product is strongly irritating to the eye with a potential to cause corneal injury if treatment is not prompt. The undiluted product may cause irritation to the skin, which could become more intense if not promptly removed or if contact is frequent or prolonged. Prolonged or repeated contact with over strength emulsions may lead to de- fatting of the skin and/or skin irritation. Refer to Section 11 – Toxicological Information. Environmental Products containing petroleum derivatives may not readily biodegrade in anaerobic conditions and therefore can be environmentally persistent, for example, if large quantities penetrate into the anaerobic soil layers. Components of this formulation, present at low concentrations, are known to be toxic to certain aquatic species. For further information refer to Section 12 – Ecological Information. Special Hazards During use, metalworking fluids may become contaminated with metal particles, metal salts, after use other lubricants and microbiological contaminants. These may increase the irritancy of the emulsions, and in some cases may be capable of inducing other additional hazards. NB See note in Section 16 – Other Information
