Obtain medical attention. Skin Contact: Wash affected area with soap and water. If signs/symptoms persist, get medical attention. No need for first aid is anticipated. Inhalation: If signs/symptoms develop, remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms persist, get medical attention. Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If irritation or discomfort occurs, obtain medical assistance. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Autoignition Temperature: >200?C Flash point: >200?C Flammable Limits (LEL) Not determined Flammable Limits(UEL) Not determined Suitable Extinguishing Media: On large fires used dry chemical, foam, or water spray. On small fires use carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or water spray. Water can be used to cool fire exposed containers. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None. Specific hazards in case of fire: Decomposes on heating and produces incompletely burned carbon compounds. Avoid reaction with oxidizers. At extreme elevated temperatures HF, perfluoroisobutylene, perflourinated acid fluorides and other toxic vapors can be generated. Hydrogen Flouride has an ACGH TLV of 3 ppm as fluoride as a Ceiling Limit and a OSHA pel of 3ppm of fluoride as an eight hour TWA and 6 ppm as a Short Term Exposure Limit. The odor threshold for HF is 0.04 ppm, providing good warning properties for exposure. Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters: No acute hazard. Move container from fire area, if possible. Avoid breathing vapors or dusts. Keep upwind. Use full firefighting gear (bunker gear). Any supplied-air respirator with full face piece and operated in a pressure-demand or other positive pressure mode in combination with a separate escape air supply. Use any self contained breathing apparatus with a full face piece. Alert fire brigade and indicate hazard location. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective clothing. Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location. Do not approach containers suspected to be hot. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions: Use appropriate personal protection. (See section 8.) Environmental precautions: For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevents entry into sewer systems or bodies of water. Collect the resulting residue containing solution. Place in a metal container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible. Methods for material containment and cleaning up: Observe precautions from other sections. Contain spill. Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with bentonite, vermiculite, or commercially available inorganic absorbent material. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears SAFETY DATA SHEET POLYSI? Lubricants Issued 08/08/14 PST-Superlube2 Revision 1 1/15/15 Page 3 of 6 dry. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible. Clean up residue with an appropriate solvent. Seal the container. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling: Avoid contact with skin, inhalation of mist, or ingestion. See section 8 for personal protection equipment. Practice good personal hygiene to prevent accidental ingestion after handling. Properly dispose of clothing that cannot be decontaminated. Wash hands thoroughly before using tobacco or other products intended to be burned and inhaled. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store away from oxidizing materials. Store product in a closed container located in a dry area. Do not store in open, inadequate, or mislabeled packaging. Check that containers are clearly labeled. Use metal cans, metal drums, plastic, or lined fiber containers. Keep away from heat and flame. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Control Parameters: Under most handling conditions, this product will not generate mist or dust. Engineering Controls: In most conditions, no special local ventilation is needed. General ventilation recommended. If the product is atomized ventilation should be used. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Eyes: Safety glasses recommended. Skin: Impermeable gloves should be worn. Petroleum resistant elastomers are recommended.

OTHER INFORMATION NFPA Hazard Classification: Health: 1 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 0 Special Hazards: None National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard ratings are designed for use by emergency personnel to address the hazards that are presented by short-term, acute exposure to material under conditions of fire, spill, or similar emergencies. Hazard ratings are primarily based on SAFETY DATA SHEET POLYSI? Lubricants Issued 08/08/14 PST-Superlube2 Revision 1 1/15/15 Page 6 of 6 inherent physical and toxic properties of the material but also include the toxic properties of combustion or decomposition products that are known to be generated in significant quantities. HMIS Hazard Classification: Health: 1 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 0 Protection: B (See PPE section) Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS) hazard ratings are designed to inform employees of chemical hazards in the workplace. The ratings are based on inherent properties of the material under expected conditions of normal use and are not intended for use in emergency situations. These data are offered in good faith as typical values and not as product specifications. No warranty, either expressed or implied, is hereby made. The recommended industrial hygiene and safe handling procedures are believed to be generally applicable.
