Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical powder, foam, carbon dioxide, or water fog
Hazards from Combustion: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other hazardous fumes may form
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemically resistant gloves
Special Procedures: Cool exposed containers with water spray to prevent rupture
Flammability: Product not easily ignitable under normal conditions; produces dense smoke when burning
Explosion Sensitivity: None reported for normal handling
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection; avoid contact with skin and eyes
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains, surface water, or groundwater sources
Cleanup Procedures: Scoop up bulk material with shovels or mechanical means; place residue in labeled, sealable containers for proper disposal
Decontamination: Clean contaminated surfaces with industrial degreasers and water
Incident Reporting: Notify responsible authorities if significant spills enter waterways or sewers
Handling Precautions: Handle with care to avoid splashes or spills; avoid contact with eyes and skin
Storage Requirements: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers
Container Information: Keep containers tightly closed and clearly labeled
Special Practices: Use only with adequate ventilation; do not store near foodstuffs or animal feed
Storage Temperature: Keep between 0°C and 45°C for best product stability
Occupational Exposure Limits: Mineral oil mist (5 mg/m³ TWA, OSHA)
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust or general room ventilation
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles or face shield, long-sleeved clothing
Respiratory Protection: Use approved respirator if ventilation is insufficient or during high-temperature applications
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling; avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in work areas
Environmental Controls: Employ spill prevention measures and appropriate disposal
Appearance: Smooth, amber or brownish semi-solid grease
Odor: Mild petroleum scent
pH: Not applicable
Melting Point/Range: 170°C to 200°C
Boiling Point/Range: Decomposes at high temperatures; does not boil
Solubility in Water: Insoluble
Vapor Pressure: Negligible under standard conditions
Viscosity: High; non-flowing at room temperature
Flash Point: Typically over 200°C (base oil)
Evaporation Rate: Very low
Upper/Lower Flammability or Explosive Limits: Not determined for grease
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal storage and handling conditions
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Will not occur during regular use
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, open flames
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and irritating vapors during thermal degradation
Polymerization: Does not occur
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity if ingested in small quantities; not intended for ingestion
Skin Corrosivity: Mild, non-corrosive; may cause irritation with prolonged or repeated contact
Eye Irritation: May cause mild irritation; flushing relieves symptoms
Sensitization: Rarely reported
Chronic Effects: Long-term exposure may contribute to dermatitis, particularly in sensitive individuals
Carcinogenicity: Contains no ingredients classified as carcinogenic by IARC, NTP, or OSHA at or above threshold limits
Mutagenicity / Teratogenicity: No data indicating mutagenic or reproductive effects
Ecotoxicity: Limited mobility in soil; potential to harm aquatic organisms if released in significant quantities
Persistence and Degradability: Components degrade slowly; most mineral oils are not readily biodegradable
Bioaccumulative Potential: Low, given limited solubility and high molecular weight
Mobility in Soil: Low; may persist on land surfaces and waterlines if not cleaned
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid uncontrolled release to environment, especially near water bodies; can coat and harm aquatic life
