Signs And Symptoms of Exposure:

SKIN CONTACT: Moderate irritant and skin defatter. EYE CONTACT: Mild (transient) irritant. Prolonged or

repeated skin contact with product tends to remove skin oils possibly leading to irritation and dermatitis; however

based on human experience and available toxicological data, this product is judged to be neither a "corrosive" nor an

"irritant" by OSHA criteria. VARIABILITY AMONG INDIVIDUALS: Health studies have shown that many petroleum

hydrocarbons and synthetic lubricants pose potential human health risks which vary from person to person. As a

precaution, exposure to liquids, vapors, mist or fumes should be minimized.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure:

None known.

Emergency And First Aid Procedures:

INHALATION: Vapor inhalation under ambient conditions is normally not a problem. If overcome by vapor from hot

product, immediately remove to fresh air if not breathing. Get medical attention. INGESTION: Do not induce

vomiting. Get medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water and remove

contaminated clothing. EYE CONTACT: Flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes or until irritation subsides. If

irritation persists, get medical attention.
