not result in classification

Prolonged or repeated skin contact without proper cleaning can
clog the pores of the skin resulting in disorders such as oil
acne/folliculitis. High-pressure injection under the skin may
cause serious damage including local necrosis. Used grease
may contain harmful impurities.

3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

Preparation Description : A lubricating grease containing highly-refined mineral oils and

additives.

Hazardous Components
Chemical Identity CAS Conc.
Zinc alkyl dithiophosphate 68649-42-3 < 2.40 %

Additional Information : The highly refined mineral oil contains <3% (w/w) DMSO-
extract, according to IP346.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

General Information : Not expected to be a health hazard when used under normal
conditions.
Inhalation : No treatment necessary under normal conditions of use. If
symptoms persist, obtain medical advice.
Skin Contact : Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water
and follow by washing with soap if available. If persistent
irritation occurs, obtain medical attention. When using high
pressure equipment, injection of product under the skin can
occur. If high pressure injuries occur, the casualty should be
sent immediately to a hospital. Do not wait for symptoms to
develop. Obtain medical attention even in the absence of
apparent wounds.
Eye Contact : Flush eye with copious quantities of water. If persistent
irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.
Ingestion : In general no treatment is necessary unless large quantities
are swallowed, however, get medical advice.
Most Important : Local necrosis is evidenced by delayed onset of pain and
Symptoms/Effects, Acute tissue damage a few hours following injection. Oil
& Delayed acne/folliculitis signs and symptoms may include formation of
black pustules and spots on the skin of exposed areas.
Ingestion may result in nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhoea.
Immediate medical : Treat symptomatically. High pressure injection injuries require
attention, special prompt surgical intervention and possibly steroid therapy, to
treatment minimise tissue damage and loss of function. Because entry
wounds are small and do not reflect the seriousness of the
underlying damage, surgical exploration to determine the
extent of involvement may be necessary. Local anaesthetics or
hot soaks should be avoided because they can contribute to
swelling, vasospasm and ischaemia. Prompt surgical
decompression, debridement and evacuation of foreign
material should be performed under general anaesthetics, and

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

If the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) value is provided on

this document, it is provided for information only.

Occupational Exposure Limits

Material Source Type ppm mg/m3 Notation

Oil mist, mineral ACGIH TWA 5 mg/m3
[Inhalable
fraction.]

Additional Information : Due to the product's semi-solid consistency, generation of

mists and dusts is unlikely to occur.

Biological Exposure Index (BEI) - See reference for full details

Data not available

Appropriate Engineering : The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary
Controls depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls
based on a risk assessment of local circumstances.
Appropriate measures include: Adequate ventilation to control
airborne concentrations. Where material is heated, sprayed or
mist formed, there is greater potential for airborne
concentrations to be generated.
Individual Protection : Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet
Measures recommended national standards. Check with PPE suppliers.

Respiratory Protection : No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal

conditions of use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene
practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of
material. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne
concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker
health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the
specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation.
Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where
air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate
combination of mask and filter. Select a filter suitable for
combined particulate/organic gases and vapours [boiling point
>65°C(149 °F)].
Hand Protection : Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of
gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374,

US: F739) made from the following materials may provide

suitable chemical protection: PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber
gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on
usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical
resistance of glove material, glove thickness, dexterity. Always
seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should
be replaced. Personal hygiene is a key element of effective
hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After
using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly.
Application of a non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended.
Eye Protection : Wear safety glasses or full face shield if splashes are likely to
occur.
Protective Clothing : Skin protection not ordinarily required beyond standard issue
work clothes.
Thermal Hazards : Not applicable.
Monitoring Methods : Monitoring of the concentration of substances in the breathing
zone of workers or in the general workplace may be required to
confirm compliance with an OEL and adequacy of exposure
controls. For some substances biological monitoring may also
be appropriate.
Environmental Exposure : Minimise release to the environment. An environmental
Controls assessment must be made to ensure compliance with local
environmental legislation.
