Viscosity Improvers: Polymethacrylate or olefin copolymers, 1–5%
Trace Impurities: None expected above regulatory thresholds
Known Contaminants: Sulfur below 0.03%; no PCBs, heavy metals, or halogenated compounds detected
Disclosure: Exact ingredient ratios are confidential business information, but no component meets criteria for mandatory hazard disclosure

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move exposed individuals to fresh air; monitor for signs of irritation or breathing difficulties, administer oxygen if needed
Skin Contact: Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing, launder before reuse
Eye Contact: Rinse gently with water for 15 minutes; remove contact lenses if present and easy; seek medical attention if discomfort persists
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; rinse mouth, seek medical care if adverse symptoms develop
Symptom Monitoring: Watch for coughing, dizziness, rashes, gastrointestinal upset
Medical Note: Physicians may treat symptoms; no specific antidote required for routine exposure

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO2), or water mist for small fires
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Avoid direct water jets; high-pressure flows may spread burning oil
Fire Hazards: Burns at higher temperatures, producing dense smoke and irritating vapors
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-resistant clothing
Combustion Products: Smoke may contain carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, incomplete hydrocarbon fragments
Special Instructions: Cool containers with water spray to prevent bursting; evacuate area if large fire; collect contaminated runoff for disposal

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Protection: Wear gloves, safety goggles, and slip-resistant footwear; limit breathing in vapor or mist
Spill Containment: Block off drains and waterways, berm with sand, absorb with non-combustible material (diatomaceous earth, sand, vermiculite)
Spill Cleanup: Collect absorbed material with non-sparking tools, transfer to appropriate disposal containers
Large Releases: Notify local authorities if environmental contamination occurs; stop leak if safe to do
Decontamination: Wash spill area with detergent and plenty of water; ventilate enclosed spaces
Disposal of Waste: Dispose according to local regulations for oily wastes and industrial lubricants

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use in well-ventilated areas; avoid breathing mist or contact with skin and eyes; wash thoroughly after handling
Storage Conditions: Keep containers tightly closed in cool, dry, well-ventilated place; store away from strong oxidizers or acids
Container Materials: Store in original steel, plastic drums or bulk tanks rated for petroleum lubricants
Temperature Control: Avoid storing above 45°C (113°F); protect from direct sunlight and heat sources
Safe Practices: No eating, drinking, or smoking near lubricant stations; segregate from food and feed products
Drum Handling: Use equipment designed for heavy drums; do not roll or drop containers

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific exposure limit for finished oil, but ACGIH sets mist threshold at 5 mg/m3 (inhalable fraction)
Engineering Controls: Ventilation systems extract vapors or mist from filling and draining operations
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, PVC), safety goggles, protective workwear
Respiratory Protection: Respirators for prolonged exposure to high mist; dust mask for short-term maintenance
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands with soap after work; change out of contaminated clothing; keep eyewash stations nearby
Environmental Controls: Spill kits and absorbents kept at all lubrication areas

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Harmful to aquatic organisms in large quantities; oil forms films that block oxygen transfer in water
Bioaccumulation: Potential for bioaccumulation in sediment and water-dwelling organisms
Persistence and Degradability: Base oils degrade slowly in the environment; moves to soil and sediment when spilled
Mobility: High spread factor on water surfaces; little mobility in soil, tends to bind to particulates
Other Effects: Lubricant films smother plants and soil life in spill areas; always report large releases
