Section 3: Hazard Identification


Emergency overview:

Appearance and Odor:  light amber liquid with slight petroleum 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 Welch Duo-Seal® Pump Fluid is not expected to produce significant 
adverse human health effects when recommended safety precautions are followed. 

Eye Contact: Minimal eye irritation may occur on short term contact.

Skin Contact: Mild skin irritant from prolonged or repeated skin contact.  
Injection of pressurized hydrocarbons under the skin, in the muscle or into the 
blood stream requires immediate medical attention

Inhalation: Adverse health effects from short-term exposure are not expected 
to occur. Aspiration of liquid into the lungs can cause severe lung damage or death. 

Ingestion: Ingestion of small amounts may have laxative effect.  Ingestion of 
large amounts may cause depression, headache, drowsiness, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting.

Chronic Health Effects:  Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause irritation 
and/or inflammation, dermatitis or oil acne.  Repeated or prolonged inhalation may 
cause respiratory irritation or other pulmonary effects.

Carcinogenic Potential:  Does not contain any components at concentrations above 
0.1% which are considered carcinogenic by OSHA, IARC. Or NTP.

Refer to Section 11 for toxicological information.

 


Section 4: First Aid Measures



Eye Contact:  Flush eyes with cool, clean water for at least 15 minutes.  
If tearing, redness or pain persists, seek medical attention.

Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing.  Wash exposed skin with plenty 
of soap and water.  Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Ingestion:  Do not induce vomiting unless directed to by a physician.  
Aspiration of liquid may cause severe lung damage or death. Do not give anything 
to drink unless directed to by a physician.  Do not give anything by mouth to an 
unconscious person.  If large amounts are ingested, or irritation or discomfort 
occurs, seek medical attention immediately.

Notes to Physician: The viscosity range for this product is 100 to 400 SUS 
at 100° F.  Ingestion presents a low to moderate risk of aspiration.  Careful 
gastric lavage may be considered to evacuate large quantities of material.  
Subcutaneous or intramuscular injections require prompt surgical debridement.




Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

      
Flash Point:  238 °C (480 °F) (Cleveland- open cup)

		210 °C (410 °F) (Pensky-Martens ASTM D-93)

Autoignition Temperature:  Not available

Fire Point:  Not Available

Extinguishing Media:  In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry
chemical, or CO2.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:  When heated above its flash point 
material will release ignitable vapors.  In enclosed spaces vapors can ignite with 
explosive force.  Mists or sprays may burn at temperatures below the flash 
point.

Fire Fighting Equipment:  Fire fighters and others exposed to products of 
combustion must use full bunker gear including NIOSH-approved positive pressure 
self-contained breathing apparatus.

Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, smoke 
fumes, unburned hydrocarbons, and trace oxides of sulfur and nitrogen.




Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

      


Wear appropriate protective equipment.  Slipping hazard - do not walk through 
spilled material. Stop leak if possible without risk of injury. Absorb small 
spills or cover with dry earth, sand or other inert non-combustible material 
and place in waste containers for disposal. This material will float on water 
and can be absorbed with absorbent pad or similar materials.


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. 

Prevent entry into waterways or sewers.  Comply with all laws and regulations.

Refer to Section 13 for disposal information and, Section 15 for reportable 
quantity information.





Section 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.
 
Avoid water contamination and extreme temperatures to minimize product degradation

Emptied container retains vapor and product residue.  Consult appropriate 
federal, state and local authorities before reusing, reconditioning, 
reclaiming, recycling or disposing of empty containers or waste residues 
of this product.

Storage:  Product is stable under normal conditions of storage and handling. 
Keep container closed.  Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. Do not store 
at temperatures above 120 °F or in direct sunlight.





Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection


An eyewash station and safety shower should be located near the work-station.

Eye Protection:  This product does not cause significant eye irritation 
or eye toxicity requiring special protection; use of safety glasses equipped 
with side shields should be adequate under most conditions of use. Use chemical 
splash goggles and/or face shield if splashing or spraying likely or if material 
is heated above 125 °F( 51 °C).

Skin Protection:  If frequent or prolonged contact is anticipated, use 
gloves made of chemical resistant materials such as neoprene or heavy nitrate 
rubber.  Use heat-protective groves when handling at elevated temperatures.

Protective Clothing: Use clean and impervious protective clothing if 
splashing or spraying conditions are present. Remove oil-contaminated clothing 
as soon as possible and launder before reuse.  Shower promptly if skin contact 
occurs.  Wear heat protective boots and protective clothing when handling at 
elevated temperatures.

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.
