Information on Toxicological Effects of Components
Distillates, petroleum, hydrotreated heavy paraffinic
Carcinogenicity: This oil has been highly refined by a variety of processes to reduce aromatics and improve performance
characteristics. It meets the IP-346 criteria of less than 3 percent PAH's and is not considered a carcinogen by the International
Agency for Research on Cancer.
Section 12: Ecological Information
Toxicity: All acute aquatic toxicity studies on samples of lubricant base oils show acute toxicity values greater than 100 mg/L for
invertebrates, algae and fish. These tests were carried out on water accommodated fractions and the results are consistent with
the predicted aquatic toxicity of these substances based on their hydrocarbon compositions.
Persistence and Degradability: The hydrocarbons in this material are not readily biodegradable, but since they can be degraded
by microorganisms, they are regarded as inherently biodegradable.
Bioaccumulative Potential: Log Kow values measured for the hydrocarbon components of this material are greater than 5.3, and
therefore regarded as having the potential to bioaccumulate. In practice, metabolic processes may reduce bioconcentration.
Mobility in Soil: Volatilization to air is not expected to be a significant fate process due to the low vapor pressure of this material.
In water, base oils will float and spread over the surface at a rate dependent upon viscosity. There will be significant removal of
hydrocarbons from the water by sediment adsorption. In soil and sediment, hydrocarbon components will show low mobility with
adsorption to sediments being the predominant physical process. The main fate process is expected to be slow biodegradation of
the hydrocarbon constituents in soil and sediment.
Other adverse effects: None anticipated.
Section 13: Disposal Considerations
The generator of a waste is always responsible for making proper hazardous waste determinations and needs to consider state
and local requirements in addition to federal regulations. This material, if discarded as produced, would not be a federally
regulated RCRA "listed" hazardous waste and is not believed to exhibit characteristics of hazardous waste. See Sections 7 and 8
for information on handling, storage and personal protection and Section 9 for physical/chemical properties. It is possible that the
material as produced contains constituents which are not required to be listed in the SDS but could affect the hazardous waste
determination. Additionally, use which results in chemical or physical change of this material could subject it to regulation as a
hazardous waste.This material under most intended uses would become "Used Oil" due to contamination by physical or chemical
impurities. Whenever possible, Recycle used oil in accordance with applicable federal and state or local regulations. Container
contents should be completely used and containers should be emptied prior to discard.
