Human health hazards:

Environmental hazards:
Unlikely to be harmful to aquatic organisms.
Effects and symptoms
Eyes:
May cause mild eye irritation.
Skin:
Can dry out the skin and lead to irritation and/or dermatitis.
Allergic reactions are possible in the worst case.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of oil mist or vapors at elevated temperatures may
cause respiratory irritation.
Ingestion:
Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation (e.g. diarrhea).
Contact with eyes:
Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water for several min-
utes. If irritation occurs, consult a doctor.
Skin contact:
Wash affected areas of skin with soap and water, or use suita-
ble cleaning agent. Change clothing and shoes if they become
contaminated with product. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean
shoes thoroughly before reuse. If irritation occurs consult a doc-
tor.
Inhalation:
Take affected person into fresh air. Consult a doctor if symp-
toms persist.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If the person is unconscious, do
not give anything by mouth. Consult a physician immediately.
Notes to physician:
Treatment should in general be symptomic and directed at
relieving any effects.
Note regarding high-pressure applications
Injection into the skin due to contact with a product under high
pressure constitutes a major medical emergency. Within a few
hours the tissue swells up and becomes discolored and
extremely painful, with severe subcutaneous necrosis.
Surgical treatment is absolutely imperative. Comprehensive
opening of the wound and the tissue beneath it is necessary in
order to reduce tissue loss and to prevent or limit lasting dam-
age. The high pressure can cause the product to penetrate
extensive areas of tissue layers.
Suitable extinguishing
agents:
In the event of a fire: use water spray (mist), foam, dry chemi-
cals or CO2.
Unsuitable extinguishing
agents:
Do not use water jets.
Special instructions for
extinguishing work:
Contaminated extinguishing water must be collected separately
and prevented from entering the drainage system.
Hazardous decomposition
products:
Decomposition products include various oxides (e.g. carbon
oxides).
Unusual fire/explosion
hazards:
This product is not inherently explosive in accordance with the
applicable rules.
