AMSOIL Material Safety Data Sheet Date Issued/Revised: June 17, 2008
Supersedes: November 15, 2004
Section 1: Product and Company Identification
WARNING! Contents Under Pressure, Extremely Flammable, Vapor may cause flash fire
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: Eye, inhalation and skin irritant.
EYE: Do not rub eyes. Flush with large amounts volumes for 15-20 minutes. Seek medical attention.
SKIN: Wash immediately with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.
Discard shoes and leather articles saturated with the product. Obtain medical advice if irritation
occurs.
INHALATION: Remove exposed person to fresh air. If breathing is labored give oxygen. If breathing has
stopped apply artificial respiration. Get immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If conscious, give 2 glasses of water. If vomiting does occur,
keep head below hips to reduce risk of aspiration. Get immediate medical attention.
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Closed containers may explode from internal pressure build-up when
exposed to extreme heat and discharged contents. Vapor accumulation can flash or explode if ignited. Over
exposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Symptoms may not be readily apparent. Obtain
medical attention
FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Full bunker gear recommended. Including a positive pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus.
Isolate spill area. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protection. Recover free product for
recycle and/or disposal. Add sand, earth or other suitable absorbent to spill area. Prevent entry into sewers and
waterways. Check under Transportation and Labeling (DOT/CERCLA) and Other Regulator Information Section
(SARA) for hazardous substances to determine regulatory reporting requirements for spill.
HANDLING: Do not puncture or incinerate can. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash hands after
handling. Empty container may retain product residue, which may exhibit hazards of product.
STORAGE: Store and use in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas. Do not store above 120°F. Keep away from heat or
flame.
VENTILATION: Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below
exposure limits.
SKIN: Use Viton or Nitrile gloves to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.
EYE: Use splash goggles or face shield where splashing is expected or can occur.

EXPOSURE LIMITS: The Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of 5 mg/m is suggested for oil mist.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OF PRODUCT: May produce fumes when heated to decomposition. Toxic
oxides of carbon.
ACUTE EXPOSURE
Eye Irritation: Moderate to strong eye irritation. Based on data from components or similar material.
Skin Irritation: Not expected to be a primary skin irritant. Based on data from components or similar
material. Prolonged or repeated skin contact as from clothing wet with material may
cause dermatitis. Symptoms may include redness, edema, drying, defatting, and
cracking of the skin.
Respiratory Irritation: If material is misted or if vapors are generated from heating, exposure may cause
irritation of mucous membranes and the upper respiratory tract similar to that observed
with mineral oil. Based on data from components or similar materials. Under good
industrial hygiene practices where all exposure limits are observed, respiratory irritation
should not be a problem.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE
Chronic Toxicity: Some components may aggravate liver and kidney disease, anemia, coronary disease
or rhythm disorders of the heart. Only in quantities exceeding the TLV..
Carcinogenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 0.1% are a carcinogenic
hazard.
Mutagenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a mutagenic
or genotoxic hazard.
Reproductive Toxicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a
reproductive hazard.
Teratogenicity: No data available to indicate product present at greater than 1.0% present a
teratogenic hazards.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Exposure Limits: Under conditions, which may generate mists, observe the OSHA PEL of 5 mg per
cubic meter, ACGIH STEL of 10 mg per cubic meter.
There are extensive toxicological data available on the various components of this product. An adequate
representation of all these data is beyond the scope of this document. Please contact the AMSOIL Material Safety
Data Sheet Coordinator for more details.
Material is expected to be hazardous when disposed. Dispose of in accordance with all local, state and federal
regulations.
This product is classified as Combustible liquids N.O.S., NA1993 for DOT shipping. Hazard Label ORM-D. For
further information relative to spills resulting from transportation incidents, refer to the latest DOT Emergency
Response Guidebook for Hazardous Materials.
