Section 4: First Aid Measures
If accidental overexposure is suspected

Eye(s) Contact: Immediate first aid is not likely to be required. However, this material can be removed with water. Wash heavily contaminated clothing before reuse.

Skin Contact: Immediate first aid is not likely to be required. However, this material can be removed with water. Wash heavily contaminated clothing before reuse.

Inhalation: Immediate first aid is not likely to be required. However, if symptoms occur, remove to fresh air. Remove material from eyes, skin and clothing.
Ingestion: swallowed, immediate first aid is not likely to be required. A physician or Poison Control Center can be contacted for advice.

Note to physician

Treatment: NIF

Medical Conditions generally Aggravated by Exposure: NIF

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: 550OC (287OF) Method: Cleveland Open Cup
Flammable Limits: NIF

Fire point: 660oF (348oC)

Auto-ignition point: 1135oC (612oF)
Fire Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical, or CO2
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Fire fighter and others exposed to products of combustion should  wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: None known.

Hazardous combustion products: Continued use at temperatures above 425oC may result in the formation of benzene and phenol. If the product is burned, complete combustion produces carbon dioxide and water and partial combustion produces carbon monoxide, smoke, soot and low molecular weight hydrocarbons.

DOT Class: Not regulated.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Contain large spills with dikes and transfer the material to appropriate containers for reclamation or disposal. Absorb remaining material or small spills with an inert material and then place in a chemical waste container. Flush residual spill area with water.
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: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. These practices include avoiding unnecessary exposure and removal of material from eyes, skin and clothing. Emptied container retains vapor and product residue. Observe all labeled safeguards until container is cleaned, reconditioned, or destroyed.

Storage temperature: Room Temperature.

Storage Pressure: NIF

Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls

Ventilation required: Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to minimize exposure. If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at source of air contamination such as open process equipment.

Personal Protection Equipment

Respiratory protection: Avoid breathing mist. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection equipment when airborne exposure is excessive. Consult respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type equipment for given application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH/MSHA or the manufacture. Respiratory protection programs must comply with 29CFR 1910.134.
Protective gloves: Wearing protective gloves is recommended.
Skin protection: Although it does not present a significant skin concern, minimize skin contamination by practicing good industrial practices.
Eye protection: This product does not cause significant eye irritation or eye toxicity requiring special protection. Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact.
Additional clothing and/or equipment: NIF

Section 11: Toxicological Information

Results of component toxicity test performed: Data laboratory studies with Santovac® 5 Polyphenyl ether lubricant are summarized below. Single exposure (acute) studies indicate:

Oral- Practically Nontoxic (Rat LD50 > 34,600 mg/kg)

Oral- Practically Nontoxic (Rabbit LD50 > 34,600 mg/kg)

Dermal- Practically Nontoxic (Rabbit LD50 > 34,600 mg/kg)

Inhalation- Practically Nontoxic (Rat LC50 > 47 mg/liter. No deaths and no signs of toxicity were observed in animals exposed to 47 mg/l, the highest atmospheric concentration achievable by heating the material to 329° C in this study.)

Eye Irritation - Nonirritating (Rabbit, 0.0/110.0)

Skin Irritation - Nonirritating (Rabbit, 24-hr exposure, 0.0/8.0)

Laboratory studies have been conducted on similar polyphenyl ether formulations and these data are considered representative of Santovac® 5 Lubricant.

Human experience: In controlled skin contact study, no skin irritation (primary or cumulative) or skin allergy was observed in humans following repeated exposures to a polyphenyl ether formulation similar to Santovac® 5 Lubricant.

Increases in liver weights and liver/body weight ratios with accompanying increase in liver cell size, considered to be related in increase liver metabolic activity and increases in adrenal weight were noted in rats following repeated skin exposure (4 weeks) to a second polyphenyl ether formulation. This same formulation produced no genetic changes in standard tests using animal or bacterial cells.

This product does not contain any compounds listed by NTP or IARC or regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen.
