                        SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION


IMMEDIATE HEALTH EFFECTS

Eye:  Not expected to cause prolonged or significant eye irritation.

Skin: Contact with the skin is not expected to cause prolonged or significant
irritation. Not expected to be harmful to internal organs if absorbed through
the skin. High-Pressure equipment Information: Accidental high-velocity
injection under the skin of materials of this type may result in serious injury.
Seek medical attention at once should an accident like this occur. The initial
wound at the injection site may not appear to be serious at first: but, it left
untreated, could result in disfigurement of amputation of the affected part.

Ingestion: Not expected to be harmful if swallowed.

Inhalation: Not expected to be harmful if inhaled. Contains a petroleum-based
mineral oil. May cause respiratory irritation or other pulmonary effects
following prolonged or repeated inhalation of oil mist at airborne levels above
the recommended mineral oil mist exposure limit. Symptoms of respiratory
irritation may include coughing and difficulty breathing.


                          SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES


Eye:  No specific first aid measures are required. As a precaution, remove
contact lenses, if worn, and flush eyes with water.

Skin: No specific first aid measures are required. As a precaution, remove
clothing and shoes if contaminated. To remove the material from skin, apply a
waterless hand cleaner, mineral oil, or petroleum jelly. Then wash with soap and
water. Discard contaminated clothing and shoes or thoroughly clean before reuse.

Ingestion: No specific first aid measures are required. Do not induce vomiting.
As a precaution, get medical advice.

Inhalation: No specific first aid measures are required. If exposed to excessive
levels of material in the air, move the exposed person to fresh air. Get medical
attention if coughing or respiratory discomfort occurs.

Note to Physicians: In an accident involving high-pressure equipment, this
product may be injected under the skin. Such an accident may result in a small,
sometimes bloodless, puncture wound. However, because of its driving force,
material injected into a fingertip can be deposited into the palm of the hand.
Within 24 hours, there is usually a great deal of swelling, discoloration, and
intense throbbing pain. Immediate treatment at a surgical emergency center is
recommended.


                        SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES


FIRE CLASSIFICATION;
OSHA Classification (29 CFR 1910.1200): Not classified by OSHA as flammable or
combustible.

NFPA RATINGS: Health: 0       Flammability: 1   Reactivity: 0

FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES:
Flashpoint: 274 ºC (525 ºF) Min)
Autoignition: NDA
Flammability (Explosive) Limits (% by volume in air): Lower: NA Upper: NA

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA; Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2)
to extinguish flames.

PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS:
Fire Fighting Instructions: This material will burn although it is not easily
ignited. For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or
confined fire space without proper protective equipment, including
self-contained breathing apparatus.

Combustion Products: Highly dependent on combustion conditions. A complex
mixture of airborne solids, liquids, and gases including carbon monoxide, carbon
dioxide, and unidentified organic compounds will be evolved when this material
undergoes combustion. Combustion may form oxides of: Phosphorus, Sulfur, Zinc,
Lithium.


                     SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


Protective Measures: Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spilled
material.

Spill Management: Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk.
Contain release to prevent further contamination of soil, surface water or
groundwater. Clean up spill as soon as possible, observing precautions in
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as
applying non-combustible absorbent materials or pumping. Where feasible and
appropriate, remove contaminated soil. Place contaminated materials in
disposable containers and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable
regulations. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in Exposure
Controls/Personal Protection section.

Reporting: Report spills to local authorities and/or the U.S. Coast Guard's
National Response Center at (800) 424-8802 as appropriate or required.


                         SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE


Precautionary Measures: Keep out of the reach of children.

General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this
material into sewage and drainage systems and bodies of water.

Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous
condition when handling this material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and
grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient. Review all
operations which have the potential of generating an accumulation of
electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container
filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading,
filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate
mitigating procedures. For more information, refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR
1910.106, 'Flammable and Combustible Liquids', National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA 77, 'Recommended Practice on Static Electricity', and/or the
American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice 2003, 'Protection
Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents'.
Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use
pressure to empty container or it may rupture with explosive force. Empty
containers retain product residue (solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be
dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of
ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. Empty containers should be
completely drained, properly closed, and promptly returned to a drum
reconditioner or dispose of properly.


                SECTION 8-  EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS;
Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 3), applicable
exposure limits, job activities, and other substances in the work place when
designing engineering controls and selecting personal protective equipment. If
engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent exposure to
harmful levels of this material, the personal protective equipment listed below
is recommended. The user should read and understand all instructions and
limitations supplied with the equipment since protection is usually provided for
a limited time or under certain circumstances.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use in a well-ventilated area.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Eye/Face Protection: No special eye protection is normally required. Where
splashing is possible, wear safety glasses with side shields as a good safety
practice.

Skin Protection: No special protective clothing is normally required. Where
splashing is possible, select protective clothing depending on operations
conducted, physical requirements and other substances in the workplace.
Suggested materials for protective gloves include: Neoprene, Nitrile Rubber,
Silver Shield, Viton.

Respiratory Protection: No respiratory protection is normally required.
If user operations generate an oil mist, determine if airborne concentrations
are below the occupational exposure limit for mineral oil mist. If not, wear an
approved respirator that provides adequate protection from the measured
concentrations of this material. For air-purifying respirators use a particulate
cartridge.
Use a positive pressure air-supplying respirator in circumstances where
air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.

Occupational Exposure Limits:
