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: immediate first aid is not likely to be required. A physician or Poison Control Center may be
contacted for advice.

Medical Conditions generally Aggravated by Exposure: ND

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point: 550 °F (287 °C)
Flammable Limits: ND
Auto-ignition point: 1135 °F (612 °C)
Fire Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical, or CO2.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Fire fighters 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
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: NA

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 sources 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 manufacturer.
Respiratory protection programs must comply with 29 CFR 1910.134.Protective gloves:
Skin protection: Although it does not present a significant skin concern, minimize skin contamination by
following good industrial practice. Wearing protective gloves is recommended. Wash hands and contaminated
skin thoroughly after handling.
Eye protection: This product does not cause significant eye irritation or eye toxicity requiring special protection.
Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact.

Section 11: Toxicological Information

Results of component toxicity test performed:
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 4-hr LC50 > 47 mg/l. 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)
In a 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 weight and liver/body weight ratios with accompanying increase in liver cell size, considered
to be related in increased 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.
Human experience: ND
This product does not contain any compounds listed by NTP or IARC or regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen.
