Emergency overview: Appearance and Odor: light yellow essentially clear liquid with no odor to slight phenolic odor NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MATERIAL POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS Likely Routes of Exposure: skin contact Occupational exposure to this material has not been reported to cause significant adverse health effects. On the basis of available information, exposure to Santovac 5 vacuum pump fluid is not expected to produce significant adverse human health effects when recommended safety precautions are followed. Refer to Section 11 for toxicological information.
IF IN EYES OR ON SKIN, immediate first aid is not likely to be required. However, this material can be removed with water. Wash heavily contaminated clothing before reuse. IF INHALED, immediate first aid is not likely to be required. However, if symptoms occur, remove to fresh air. Remove material from eyes, skin and clothing. IF SWALLOWED, immediate first aid is not likely to be required. A physician or Poison Control Center can be contacted for advice.
Flash Point: 550° F (287° C) Method: Cleveland Open Cup Autoignition Temperature: 1135° F (612° C) Fire Point: 660° F (348° C) Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical, or C02 Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: None known Fire Fighting Equipment: Fire fighters and others exposed to products of combustion should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Fire fighting equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
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. Flush residual spill area with water. Refer to Section 13 for disposal information and, Section 15 for reportable quantity information.
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.
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.
Airborne Exposure Limits:
Product: Santovac 5 vacuum pump fluid
OSHA PEL: None Established
ACGIH TLV: None Established
Appearance: light yellow essentially clear liquid Odor: odorless to slight phenolic Boiling Point @ 760 mm Hg: = 889° F (476° C) Pour Point = 40° F (5° C) Specific Gravity @ 25/25° C: 1.195-1.201 pH: Neutral Vapor Density (Air = 1): 15.5 Solubility: Soluble in acetone and light aromatic solvents; insoluble in water 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.
Product is stable under normal storage and handling conditions. Materials to Avoid: Exposure to highly oxidizing agents should be avoided. 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; incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide (CO), smoke, soot, and lower molecular weight hydrocarbons. Hazardous Polymerization: Does not occur
Data from laboratory studies conducted by Monsanto with Santovac 5 vacuum Pump fluid are summarized below. Single exposure (acute) studies indicate: Oral: Practically Nontoxic (Rat LD50 >10,000 mg/kg) Dermal: Practically Nontoxic (Rabbit LD50 >5,000 mg/kg) Eye Irritation: Practically Nonirritating (Rabbit, 0.1/110.0) Skin Irritation:Practically Nonirritating (Rabbit, 24-hr exposure, 0.4/8.0) 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 vacuum pump fluid. Increases in liver weights and liver/body weight ratios with accompanying increase in liver cell size, considered to be related to increased liver metabolic activity and increases in adrenal weight were noted in rats following repeated skin exposure (4-weeks). Santovac 5 vacuum pump fluid has produced no genetic changes in standard tests using animal or bacterial cells.

Product to be disposed of, spilled liquid product, or spills absorbed on a solid medium may be classified as "hazardous waste" (DO18) due to the presence of benzene over 0.5 mg/L. Waste should be analyzed in accordance with Method 1311 Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and/or compared to the criteria of 40 CFR 261.24 to insure proper disposal. Waste product may also be classified as waste oil under state and federal regulations. Any discarded product, whether "hazardous waste" or not, should be incinerated in accordance with all local, state, or federal laws and regulations. Consult your attorney or appropriate regulatory officials for information on such disposal.
