Absorb spill with inert material, then place in a chemical waste container. Remove all sources of ignition. Dispose of in a manner consistent with federal, local law.

Protective Measures:May burn although not readily ignitable. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when cleaning up spills. Refer to Section 8.

Spill Management:FOR LARGE SPILLS: Remove with vacuum truck or pump to storage/salvage vessels.
FOR SMALL SPILLS: Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material. Place in non-leaking container and seal tightly for proper disposal. Remove contaminated soil to remove contaminated trace residues. Dispose of in same manner as material.

Special Remarks on Toxicity to Animals: Not available Special Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans: Highly refined mineral oils are not classified as human carcinogens. However, related forms (untreated and mildly-treated oilsused in metal machining, mule spinning and jute processing) are listed as human carcinogens by both IARC (group 1) and NTPSpecial Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans:Potential Health Effects: Skin: This product is not expected to cause any skin irritation upon directsingle or repeated and prolonged contact. However, similar chemical compositon products applied to the skin of lab animals resulted in minimal to slight dermal irritation. Eyes: May cause mild (minimal) eye irritation. Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritationwith coughing and shortness of breath. This product has a low vapor pressure and is not expectedto present an inhalation hazard at ambient conditions. Caution should be taken to prevent aerosolization or misting. If aspiration occurs, it may lead to chemical pneumonitis which is characterized by pulmonary edema and hemorrhage and may be fatal. Signs of lung involvement include increased respiratory rate, increased heart rate, and bluish discoloration of the skin. Coughing, choking and gagging are often noted at the time of aspiration Ingestion: Ingestion is relatively non-toxic unless aspiration occurs. It has laxative properties and may cause gastrointestinal tract discomfort, abdominal cramps, vomiting and diarrhea. Exposure to a large single dose, or repeated small doses by inhalation, aspiration or ingestion leading to aspiration can lead to lipid pneumonia or lipid granuloma. These are low-grade, chronic localized tissue reactions which are not fatal.
