Section 3: Hazard Identification
Emergency overview

Appearance: Solid white grease.

Immediate effects: May cause irritation.

Potential health effects

Primary Routes of entry: Dermal contact, eye contact and inhalation.
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: Inhalation of decomposition products (occurs if heated > 260 C) or of smoke from contaminated tobacco products may cause respiratory irritation and induce Polymer Fume Fever condition. Symptoms of exposure to decomposition products are: lung irritation, pulmonary edema, flu-like symptoms (example - fever chills).
Eyes: May cause eye irritation.

Skin: May cause skin irritation.

Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation and diarrhea.

Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation.

Chronic Exposure: ND

Chemical Listed As Carcinogen Or Potential Carcinogen: No component of this product at levels greater than 0.1% is identified as a carcinogen by ACGIH or the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) or the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

See Toxicological Information (Section11)

Potential environmental effects

See Ecological Information (Section 12)

Section 4: First Aid Measures
If accidental overexposure is suspected

Eye(s) Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation develops.

Skin Contact: Immediately wash exposed skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Wash clothing and thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.

Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.

Note to physician

Treatment: ND

Medical Conditions generally Aggravated by Exposure: None identified.

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: ND
Flammable Limits: ND

Auto-ignition point: ND
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use water spray (fog), foam or dry chemicals.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Fire-fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full turnout gear.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Non-explosive in the presence of the following materials or conditions: open flames, sparks and static discharge, heat, shocks and mechanical impacts and oxidizing materials. Inhalation of decomposition products (occurs if heated > 260 C) or of smoke from contaminated tobacco products may cause respiratory irritation and induce Polymer Fume Fever condition. Symptoms of exposure to decomposition products are: lung irritation, pulmonary edema, flu-like symptoms (example - fever chills).

Hazardous combustion products: Carbon oxides (CO, CO2), halogenated compounds, hydrogen fluoride.

DOT Class: Not regulated

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Immediately contact emergency personnel. If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilled material. Small spills: Add absorbent (soil may be used in the absence of other suitable materials) scoop up material and place in a sealed, liquid-proof container for disposal. Large spills: Dike spilled material or otherwise contains material to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate container for disposal. Avoid contact of spilled material with soil and prevent runoff entering surface waterways. Use suitable protective equipment (Section 8).
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of waste according to Federal, State and Local Regulations.

Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation. Decomposes and releases toxic gases when exposed to high temperature or when burning. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Empty containers may contain harmful, flammable/combustible or explosive residue or vapors. Do not cut, grind, drill, weld, reuse or dispose of containers unless adequate precautions are taken against these hazards.

Storage Temperature: ND

Storage Pressure: ND

Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls

Ventilation required: Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels.

Personal Protection Equipment

Respiratory protection: Use only with adequate ventilation.

Protective gloves: Wear suitable gloves.
Skin protection: Wear suitable protective clothing.
Eye protection: Safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles.
Additional clothing and/or equipment: ND
