Fire Fighting Equipment: Fire fighters and others exposed to products of combustion should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
Contain large spills with dikes and transfer the material to appropriate containers for reclamation or disposal. Absorb remaining material or small spills with an inert material and then place in a chemical waste container.
Refer to Section 13 for disposal information and Section 15 for reportable quantity information.
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE |
HANDLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY PRACTICES. THESE PRACTICES INCLUDE AVOIDING UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE AND REMOVAL OF MATERIAL FROM EYES, SKIN AND CLOTHING.
Emptied container retains vapor and product residue. Observe all labeled safeguards until container is cleaned, reconditioned, or destroyed.
Storage: Product is stable under normal conditions of storage and handling.
| 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION |
Eye Protection: This product does not cause significant eye irritation or eye toxicity requiring special protection. Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact.
Skin Protection: Although it does not present a significant skin concern, minimize skin contamination by following good industrial practice. Wearing protective gloves is recommended. Wash hands and contaminated skin thoroughly after handling.
Respiratory Protection: Avoid breathing mist. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection equipment when airborne exposure is excessive. Consult respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type equipment for given application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH/MSHA or the manufacturer. Respiratory protection programs must comply with 29 CFR 1910.134.
Ventilation: Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to minimize exposure. If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as open process equipment.

NOTE: These physical data are typical values based on material tested but may vary from sample to sample. Typical values should not be construed as a guaranteed analysis of any specific lot or as specifications for the product.
| 10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY |
Stability: Product is stable under normal conditions of storage and handling.
Materials to Avoid: highly oxidizing materials
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Continued use at temperatures above 425°C may result in the formation of benzene and phenol. If the product is burned, complete combustion produces carbon dioxide and water and partial combustion produces carbon monoxide, smoke, soot and low molecular weight hydrocarbons.
Hazardous Polymerization: Does not occur.
| 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION |
Data from laboratory studies with OS-138 polyphenyl ether lubricant are summarized below:
Single Exposure (acute) studies indicate:
| Oral - Practically Nontoxic | (Rat LD50 > 15,800 mg/kg) |
| Dermal - Practically Nontoxic | (Rabbit LD50 > 7,940mg/kg) |
| Eye Irritation - Practically Nonirritating | (Rabbit, 0.8/110.0) |
| Skin Irritation - Nonirritating | (Rabbit, 24-hr exposure, 0.0/8.0 |
Laboratory studies have been conducted on similar polyphenyl ether formulations and these data are considered representative of Santovac® 5 Lubricant.
In a controlled skin contact study, no skin irritation (primary or cumulative) or skin allergy was observed in humans following repeated exposures to a polyphenyl ether formulation similar to Santovac® 5 Lubricant.
Increases in liver weights and liver/body weight ratios with accompanying increase in liver cell size, considered to be related in increased liver metabolic activity and increases in adrenal weight were noted in rats following repeated skin exposure (4-weeks) to a second polyphenyl ether formulation. This same formulation produced no genetic changes in standard tests using animal or bacterial cells.
