after handling. Avoid generation and inhalation of oil mists.
INSTRUCTIONS IN CASE OF FIRE OR SPILL: In case of fire, use water spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Water spray may be ineffective, but can be used to cool containers. In case of spill, do not use water, soak up with absorbent material.
Acute Health Effects: From MSDS
Eye Contact: This product is minimally irritating to the eyes upon direct contact. Based on testing of similar products and/or components.
Skin Contact: Avoid skin contact. This product is minimally irritating to the skin upon direct contact. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in contact dermatitis which is characterized by dryness, chapping, and reddening. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in oil acne which is characterized by blackheads with possible secondary infection. A high pressure grease gun
injection injury can cause serious, delayed soft tissue damage.
Inhalation: This product has a low vapor pressure and is not expected to present an inhalation hazard at ambient conditions. Caution should be taken to prevent aerosolization or misting of this product. On rare occasions, prolonged and repeated exposure to oil mist poses a risk of pulmonary disease such as chronic lung inflammation. Shortness of breath and cough are the most common
symptoms. These are low-grade, chronic localized tissue reactions.
Ingestion: Do not ingest. This product is relatively non-toxic by ingestion. This product has laxative properties and may result in abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Exposure to a large single dose, or repeated smaller doses, may lead to lung aspiration, which can lead to lipid pneumonia or chronic lung inflammation. These are low-grade, chronic localized tissue reactions.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Drying and chapping may make the skin more susceptible to other irritants, sensitizers and disease.
Chronic Health Effects: From MSDS
Prolonged or repeated contact may result in contact dermatitis which is characterized by dryness, chapping, and reddening.
