Skin Contact:Dust, if present, may cause slight to mild irritation of the skin.
Inhalation of any oil free fine dust may be irritating to the nasal cavity, mucous membranes and respiratory
Inhalation:
tract.
Ingestion:No information is available on the physiological effects of ingestion. Mineral oil may be harmful.
Acute Health Affects:Oil free dust, if present, may be irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract.
Chronic Health Affects:No information available on long-term chronic effects. Impurities in some mineral oils may be tumorigens.

OSHA:No

SECTION 4: First Aid Measures
Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need
Eye Exposure:
assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention.
Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if
Skin Exposure:
irritation persists.
(For dust) Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as
Inhalation:
difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance.
If oil ingested, seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if
Ingestion:
conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel.

SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point:not applicable
