Emergency Overview
No data available.
Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation? No , Skin? No , Eyes? No , Ingestion? Yes
Potential Health Effects (Acute and Chronic)
Under Manufacturing Conditions: On rare occasions, prolonged and repeated exposure to oil mist poses a risk of pulmonary disease such as chronic lung inflammation. This condition is usually asymptomatic as a result of repeated small aspirations. Shortness of breath and cough are the most common symptoms. Aspiration may lead to chemical pneumonitis which is characterized by pulmonary edema and hemorrage, and may be fatal. Signs of lung involvement include increased respiration rate, increased heart rate, and a bluish discoloration of the skin. Coughing, choking, and gagging are often noted at the time of aspiration. Gastrointestinal discomfort may develop, followed by vomiting, with a further risk of aspiration.

Carcinogenicity: NTP? No , IARC Monographs? No , OSHA Regulated? No
Carcinogenicity/Other Information
No data available.
Signs and Symptoms Of Exposure
May cause slight eye irritation

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure
none known

SECTION 4. First Aid Measures
MINERAL OIL

Emergency and First Aid Procedures
IF INGESTED: Do NOT induce vomiting because of aspiration hazard. If victim is conscious,give 1 to 3 glasses of water or milk and contact physician or Poison Control Center. May act as laxative.
IF INHALED: Remove to fresh air. Administer respiration if indicated. If unconscious, seek medical attention.
IF IN EYES: Immediately flush with large amounts of water and continue flushing for 15 minutes. If material is hot, treat for thermal burns and take patient to hospital immediately.
IF ON SKIN: Remove contaminted clothing. If material is hot, submerge injured area in cold water. If patient is severely burned, remove to a hospital immediately.

Note to Physician
No data available.

SECTION 5. Fire Fighting Measures
MINERAL OIL

Flash Pt: 400.00 F Method Used: TCC
Explosive Limits: LEL: NE UEL: NE
Autoignition Pt: N.A. Extinguishing Media

Fire Fighting Instructions
Water may be ineffective but can be used to cool containers exposed to heat or flame. Caution should be exercised when using water or foam as frothing may occur, expecially if sprayed into containers of hot, burning liquid. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike and collect water used to fight fire.
