**********************************************************************

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (CONTINUED)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Other than the potential skin irritation effects noted above, acute (short term) adverse effects are not expected from brief skin
contact, see other effects, below, and Section 11 for information regarding potential long term effects. Prolonged, widespread,
or repeated skin contact may result in the absorption of potentially harmful amounts of material.
Inhalation:
Vapors or mist, in excess of permissible concentrations, or in unusually high concentrations generated from spraying, heating
the material or as from exposure in poorly ventilated areas or confined spaces, may cause irritation of the nose and
throat, headache, nausea, and drowsiness. Inhalation may cause dizziness, drowsiness, euphoria, loss of coordination,
disorientation, headache, nausea, and vomiting. In poorly ventilated areas or confined spaces, unconsciousness and
asphyxiation may result. Inhalation may result in the absorption of potentially harmful amounts of material.
Ingestion:
If more than several mouthfuls are swallowed, abdominal discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea may occur. Aspiration may occur
during swallowing or vomiting resulting in lung damage.
Sensitization Properties:
Unknown.
Chronic:
Mineral oils which are unrefined or mildly refined have been determined by IARC to be carcinogenic to humans (Group I).
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Over Exposure:
Because of its defatting properties, prolonged and repeated skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis (skin condition).
Other Remarks:
None
______________________________________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for several minutes. Get medical attention if eye irritation persists.
Skin:
Wash skin with plenty of soap and water until all traces of material are removed.
Remove and clean contaminated clothing (See Other Instructions). Destroy non-resistant footwear. Get medical attention if skin
irritation persists or contact has been prolonged.
Ingestion:
If person is conscious and can swallow, give two glasses of water (16 oz.) but do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, gi ve
fluids again. Have medical personnel determine if evacuation of stomach or induction of vomiting is necessary. Do not give
anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
Inhalation:
If irritation, headache, nausea, or drowsiness occurs, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if breathing becomes difficult or
respiratory irritation persists.
Other Instructions:
Remove and dry-clean clothing soaked or soiled with this material before reuse. Studies indicate that the dry cleaning of work
clothing contaminated with mineral oils is at least five times more effective in removing these oils than normal laundering.
Inform individuals responsible for cleaning of potential hazards associated with handling of contaminated clothing.
Note to Physician:
Aspiration of this product during induced emesis may result in severe lung injury. If evacuation of stomach is necessary, use
method least likely to cause aspiration, such as gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. Contact a Poison center for
additional treatment information.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Protective Equipment (Type)
Eye/Face Protection:
Safety glasses, chemical type goggles, or face shield recommended to prevent eye contact.
Skin Protection:
Protective clothing such as coveralls or lab coats should be worn. Launder or dry clean when soiled. Gloves and boots resistant
to chemicals and petroleum distillates required.
Respiratory Protection:
Airborne concentrations should be kept to lowest levels possible. If vapor, mist or dust is generated and the occupational
exposure limit of the product, or any component of the product, is exceeded, use appropriate NIOSH or MSHA approved air
purifying or
air supplied respirator after determining the airborne concentration of the contaminant. Air supplied respirators should always
be worn when airborne concentration of the contaminant or oxygen content is unknown.
Ventilation:
Local exhaust ventilation recommended if generating vapor, dust, or mist. If exhaust ventilation is not available or inadequate,
use MSHA or NIOSH approved respirator as appropriate.
Exposure Control for Total Product:
None established for product. Recommend coal tar pitch volatiles (benzene soluble fraction): Coal tar pitch volatiles: OSHA
PEL-TWA 0.2 mg/m3. Hydrogen sulfide: OSHA PEL-TWA 10 ppm, STEL 15ppm. ACGIH TLV-TWA 10 ppm, STEL 15
ppm.
