Principle Routes of Exposure
Skin Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors (generated at high temperatures only) or oil mist may cause mild irritation of the nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Eye Irritation: May be irritating to the eyes causing a burning sensation, redness, swelling and/or blurred vision. Skin Contact: May be irritating to the skin causing a burning sensation, redness and/or swelling. Release of the material during high-pressure applications may result in injection under the skin causing possible extensive tissue damage which is difficult to heal. Other adverse effects not expected from brief skin contact. Ingestion: Generally considered to have a low order of acute oral toxicity.
Other Health Effects
Material may release hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a highly toxic and extremely flammable gas, when heated to 180 Degrees F or higher. H2S can cause irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomitting, diarrhea, and pulmonary edema. The odor ("rotten egg") threshold is 0.02 ppm. Do not depend on sense of smell for warning; H2S rapidly deadens the sense of smell. Refer to Section 11, Toxicological Information, for specific information on the following effects: Genotoxicity Signs and Symptoms: Irritation as noted above. Local necrosis is evidenced by delayed onset of pain and tissue damage a few hours following injection.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
