Petrolatum 8009-03-8 99-100
There are no additional ingredients present which, within the current knowledge of the supplier and in the
concentrations applicable, are classified as hazardous to health or the environment and hence require reporting
in this section.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

EYE CONTACT: Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
SKIN CONTACT: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention
if symptoms occur.
INHALATION: Move exposed person to fresh air. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs,
provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
INGESTION: Wash out mouth with water. 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 occur.
PROTECTION OF FIRST-AIDERS: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
HAZARDOUS THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Decomposition products may include the following materials:
carbon dioxide carbon monoxide
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTERS: Fire fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment
and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in a positive pressure mode.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate
surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled
material. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways,
drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways,
soil or air).

METHODS FOR CLEANING UP

SMALL SPILL: Move containers from spill area. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a designated, labeled
waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
LARGE SPILL: Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined
areas. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a designated, labeled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed
waste disposal contractor. Note: See Section 1 for emergency contact information and Section 13 for waste disposal.

Section 7: Handling and Storage
HANDLING: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Eating, drinking and smoking should be
prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before
eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
STORAGE: Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry,
cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Keep container
tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept
upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental
contamination.

Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
RECOMMENDED MONITORING PROCEDURES: If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal,
workplace atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other
control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment. Reference should be made to appropriate
monitoring standards. Reference to national guidance documents for methods for the determination of hazardous
substances will also be required.
ENGINEERING MEASURES: No special ventilation requirements. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to
control worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, use precess
enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure below any recommended or
statutory limits.
HYGIENE MEASURES: Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating,
smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to remove
potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.

Personal Protection
RESPIRATORY: Use a properly fitted, particulate filter respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment
indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of
the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.
HANDS: Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when
handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
EYES: Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be
worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: safety glasses with side-shields.
SKIN: Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks
involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product.
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE CONTROLS: Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked
to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers,
filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
