First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air, seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Avoid breathing mist.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical help for irritation.
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; medical advice required if redness or pain continues.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, get emergency medical attention.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically; medical observation recommended for accidental ingestion.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishers: Foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide, or water fog
Unsuitable Extinguishers: Water jet can spread burning liquid
Fire Hazards: Heated product emits irritating fumes, vapors may cause flash fires in confined spaces
Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides, smoke
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Other Instructions: Keep containers cool with water spray

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid contact with spilled material, wear protective gear including gloves and goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, waterways, or soil
Clean-Up Methods: Contain and absorb using sand, earth, or suitable inert materials. Use mechanical means for recovery or transfer.
Decontamination: Dispose contaminated soak-up material as prescribed by local rules
Other Information: Oil spills create slipping risk in work areas, warn those nearby

Handling and Storage

Handling Practices: Handle with care, avoid splashing, do not eat, drink, or smoke while working
Safe Storage Conditions: Store in closed, properly labeled containers in cool, ventilated places away from direct sunlight, ignition sources, or incompatible substances
Storage Temperature: Recommended between 0°C and 40°C
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, acids, or alkaline agents can cause dangerous reactions
Special Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after work, keep equipment clean

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No established limit for base oil mist, but ACGIH recommends 5 mg/m³ for mineral oil mist
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation in areas where oil mist or vapor arises
Personal Protection: Wear oil-resistant gloves, long-sleeved clothing, safety glasses or face shield when splashes possible
Respiratory Protection: Not required under normal use but apply approved mask if mist occurs
Eye Wash Stations: Keep readily accessible in work areas
Other Protective Equipment: Use boots and aprons if risk of large volume exposure is possible
