First-aid measures
Eye Contact Skin contact Inhalation Ingestion Notes to physician
Ref: MSDS – PSL Rheotek Mineral Bath Oil - 17/05-2011
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with a copious amount of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. Immediately wash exposed skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms appear. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Aspiration hazard if swallowed- can enter lungs and cause damage. Obtain medical attention. Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.

Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing Media Suitable Not Suitable Hazardous decomposition products Unusual fire/explosion Hazards Special fire-fighting procedures
6.
In case of fire, use water fog, foam, dry chemical or CO2 extinguisher or spray. Do not use water jet. These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2). Risk of explosion in closed containers if pressure rises rapidly. Run off from the must not enter drains. Withdraw immediately in case of any discoloration of tanks due to fire. Use water to keep fire exposed containeres cool and disperse vapours. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Dike for water control.
Accidental release measures
Personal Precautions
Wear suitable protective clothing. Ensure good ventilation. Repeated exposure can cause skin dryness and cracking.
Environmental precautions and cleanup methods
If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilled material. For small spills add absorbent (soil may be used in the absence of other suitable materials) scoop up material and place in a sealed, liquid-proof container for disposal. For large spills dike spilled material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate container for disposal. Minimize contact of spilled material with soils to prevent runoff to surface waterways. See Section 13 for Waste Disposal Information. Splash goggles.
Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill
Full suit. Boots. Gloves.

Handling and storage
Usage Precautions:
Usage Description: Storage Precautions:
Storage Criteria:
8.
Keep away from heat, sparks and opne flame. Avoid spilling, skin and eye contact. Ventilate well, avoid breathing vapours. Use approved respirator if air contamination is above accepted level. Risk of vapour concentration on the floor and in low lying areas. Static electricity and farmation of sparks must be prevented. Avoid release of oil mist. Use only containers, pipes, joints and seals that are resistant to hydrocarbons. Flammable/combustible – keep away from oxidizers, heat and flames. Ground container and transfer equipment to eliminate static electic sparks and open flame. Use container made of: Carbon steel. Stainless stee. Polyethylene. Flammable liquid storage.
Exposure controls/personal protection
Occupational Exposure Limits
EH40-OES (United Kingdom) STEL: 10mg/m3 15 minute(s) Form: Oil mist, mineral TWA: 5 mg/m3 8 hour(s). Form: Oil mist, mineral
Control Measures
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapours below their respective occupational exposure limits. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Hygiene Measures
Wash hands after handling compounds and before eating, smoking, using lavatory, and at the end of day.
