3. Composition
3.2 Mixtures
Ingredients EC No. REACH Reg No. GHS Classification DSD Classification Conc. %
No hazardous ingredients present at a concentration at or exceeding the Declaration of
Content Limit
4. First Aid Measures
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If conscious give 2 glasses of
water and seek immediate medical attention.
Eye Contact: Ensure contact lenses are removed before rinsing. Wash
eyes with plenty of water while lifting the eye lids and
continue for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if
irritation develops.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash the skin with soap
and water. Get medical attention if irritation or
discomfort persists. Launder contaminated clothing
before re-use and discard shoes or other leather articles
that may have been saturated with the material.
Inhalation: Remove victim immediately to fresh air. If symptoms
persist seek medical attention.
Additional Information: Note to Physician: Treat symptomatically.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: 210°C typical (COC)
Extinguishing Media: Stop flow of material to fire. Extinguish using Carbon
Dioxide, Dry powder or Foam. Water may cause
splattering, but could be used to keep fire-exposed
containers cool and to disperse vapours.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Toxic fumes, gases or vapours may evolve on burning.
Avoid breathing fire vapours. If possible use self-
contained breathing equipment. Material will float on

 water. Aim to prevent run-off water from getting into
sewers and water sources.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Spill Procedure: Stop leak at source if possible without risk. Extinguish all
ignition sources; avoid sparks, flames, heat and smoking.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn.
Ventilate area if spillage occurred in a confined or poorly
ventilated area. Collect free liquid for recycling or
disposal. Absorb residual spillages using inert absorbent
material and place into plastic containers for disposal
Environmental Precautions: Protect drains by covering to avoid any spillage entering
the drainage system. If any contamination of the drainage
system occurs inform the local authorities, Fire Brigade
and Environment Agency.
Disposal of Spillage Waste: Consult local authority regulations or waste disposal
experts if in doubt

7. Handling and Storage

Handling: Protect against contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to
occur wear a full face visor or safety goggles as
appropriate. Avoid frequent or prolonged skin contact
with fresh or used product. Avoid breathing mists or
vapours and wash hands after contact.
Fire Prevention: Product soaked rags, paper or absorbent material
represent a fire hazard and should not be allowed to
accumulate.
Storage: Avoid undue exposure to heat and ignition sources. Store
in tightly sealed original containers in a cool, dry and
well ventilated location.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: None established
Control Measures: Use only in well ventilated areas. If engineering controls
do not reduce airborne vapours to an acceptable level,
use suitable respiratory equipment
Hand Protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves made from impermeable
material, (e.g. neoprene).
Eye Protection: Wear approved safety goggles or safety glasses.
Respiratory Protection: Under normal conditions respirators is not required, but if
deemed necessary use an approved dust/mist mask.
Body Protection: Wear PPE issue work clothes and chemically resistant
safety shoes.

10. Stability and Reactivity

Stability: Material is normally stable at moderately elevated
temperatures and pressures
Incompatibility: None known, avoid contact with reactive chemicals

Thermal Decomposition Products: Releases smoke, oxides of carbon and other products of
incomplete combustion. Hydrogen sulphide, alkyl
mercaptans and sulphides may also be released.

11. Toxicological Information

Materials used have been shown to be of low toxicity, but best practice dictates that prolonged
exposure and contact should be avoided.
Eye Irritation: Unlikely to cause more than transient stinging or
reddening if accidental eye contact occurs.
Skin Irritation: Not expected to be a primary skin irritant*. Prolonged or
repeated skin contact may lead to dermatitis.
Respiratory Irritation: Prolonged exposure to oil mists / vapours may cause
irritation of mucous membranes and the upper respiratory
tract.*.
Dermal Toxicity: LD50 > 2000 mg/kg* (rabbits)
Inhalation Toxicity: No data to suggest product may be a toxic inhalation
hazard
Oral Toxicity: LD50 > 5000 mg/kg* (rats)
Dermal Sensitization: No data available to indicate product or components may
be a skin sensitizer
Inhalation Sensitization: No data available to indicate product or components may
be respiratory sensitizers
Chronic Toxicity: No data available to indicate product or components
present at greater than 1.0% are chronic health hazards
Carcinogenicity: No data available to indicate product or components
present at greater than 0.1% may present a carcinogenic
hazard
Reproductive Toxicity: No data available to indicate product or components
present at greater than 0.1% may cause reproductive
toxicity
Teratogenicity: No data available to indicate product or components
present at greater than 0.1% may cause birth defects
Other: No other health hazards known
Contains mineral oil. Under working conditions which
may generate mists observe the US OSHA PEL of 5
mg.m-3 and ACGIH STEL of 10 mg.m-3

12. Ecological Information
Water: Material floats on water. Individual components range
from readily to poorly biodegradable, however small
spillages into water will be dispersed by evaporation
and/or biodegradation.
Soil: Small quantities will be absorbed into the upper soil
layers where biodegradation may take place. Larger
quantities may penetrate to anaerobic soil layers where
some organic compounds may persist.
Aquatic Toxicity: May be harmful to aquatic organisms. Spills may form a
film on water surfaces causing physical damage to
organisms. Oxygen transfer may also be impaired.

13. Disposal Considerations

This material may be disposed of via an authorised waste/disposal company in accordance
with Local and/or National Waste Disposal regulations and the Environmental Protection
Act, 1990. Where possible, arrange for material to be recycled.
