in Section 3 of this MSDS.
Toxicity Data
Distillates, petroleum, hydrotreated heavy naphthenic:
ORAL (LD50):
Mineral oil mists derived from highly refined oils are reported to have low acute and sub-acutetoxicities in animals. Effects from single and short-term repeated exposures to highconcentrations of mineral oil mists well above applicable workplace exposure levels includelung inflammatory reaction, lipoid granuloma formation and lipoid pneumonia. In acute andsub-acute studies involving exposures to lower concentrations of mineral oil mists at or nearcurrent work place exposure levels produced no significant toxicological effects.
Residual oils, petroleum, solvent-refined:
ORAL (LD50):
Mineral oil mists derived from highly refined oils are reported to have low acute and sub-acutetoxicities in animals. Effects from single and short-term repeated exposures to highconcentrations of mineral oil mists well above applicable workplace exposure levels includelung inflammatory reaction, lipoid granuloma formation and lipoid pneumonia. In acute andsub-acute studies involving exposures to lower concentrations of mineral oil mists at or nearcurrent work place exposure levels produced no significant toxicological effects. In long termstudies (up to two years) no carcinogenic effects have been reported in any animal speciestested.
Distillates, petroleum, hydrotreated light naphthenic:
ORAL (LD50):
INHALATION (LC50) Acute: 9.6 mg/L (Female Rat).
INHALATION (LC50) Acute: 10.5 mg/L (Male Rat).
DRAIZE EYE Acute: Non-irritating (Rabbit).
DRAIZE DERMAL Acute: Mild skin irritant (Rabbit).
BUEHLER DERMAL Acute: Non-sensitizing (Guinea Pig).
28-Day DERMAL Sub-Chronic: Mild to moderate skin irritant (Rabbit & Rat).
A life-time dermal application of severely hydrotreated light naphthenic oils produced skinmasses on mice which correlated with the skin irritation response levels of the test animals.
Additional studies attribute these masses to a weak promotional activity. These studiesindicate that light naphthenic oils are not mutagenic, tumor initiators nor complete chemicalcarcinogens. These materials have not been determined to be carcinogenic by IARC, NTP orOSHA.
Grease:
Injection of pressurized hydrocarbons under the skin, in muscle or into the blood stream can
cause irritation, inflammation, swelling, fever and mild central nervous system depression.
Injection of pressurized hydrocarbons can cause severe, permanent tissue damage.

SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity
Ecotoxicity data are not available for this product.
Environmental Fate
An environmental fate analysis is not available for this specific product. Plants and animalsmay experience harmful or fatal effects when coated with petroleum-based products.
Petroleum-based (mineral) lube oils will normally float on water. In stagnant or slow-flowingwaterways, an oil layer can cover a large surface area. As a result, this oil layer might limit oreliminate natural atmospheric oxygen transport into the water. With time, if not removed,oxygen depletion in the waterway can result in a loss of marine life or create an anaerobicenvironment. This material contains phosphorus which is a controlled element for disposal ineffluent waters in most sections of North America. Phosphorus is known to enhance theformation of algae. Severe algae growth can reduce oxygen content in the water possiblybelow levels necessary to support marine life.
