Skin contact: Avoid skin contact. This product is minimally irritating to the skin upon direct contact. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in contact dermatitis which is characterized by Page 2 of 7 CNH CORNHEAD GREASE Revision Date: 04/21/06 Replaces: 01/26/06 dryness, chapping and reddening. This condition may make the skin more susceptible to other irritants, sensitizers and disease. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in oil acne which is characterized by blackheads with possible secondary infection. Injection of pressurized hydrocarbons under the skin can cause inflammation and swelling, as well as severe, permanent tissue damage. The initial wound at the injection site may not appear to be serious at first, but, if left untreated, could result in disfiguration or amputation of the affected part. Inhalation: This product has a low vapor pressure and is not expected to present an inhalation hazard at ambient conditions. Caution should be taken to prevent the formation of an aerosol or misting of this product. The permissible exposure limit (PEL) and threshold limit value (TLV) for this product as oil mist is 5 mg/m3. Exposures below 5 mg/m3 appear to be without significant health risk. The short-term exposure limit for this product as an oil mist is 10 mg/m3. Ingestion: Do not ingest. This product is relatively non-toxic by ingestion. This product has laxative properties and may result in abdominal cramps and diarrhea. DELAYED OR OTHER HEALTH EFFECTS Cancer: None of the components in this material are listed as carcinogens by IARC, NTP, ACGIH or OSHA. Other: Greases consist of solid or semisolid dispersions of metallic soaps and other thickeners in a mineral oil base. Long term exposure to small doses of mineral oil by inhalation, aspiration or ingestion leading to aspiration can lead to lipid pneumonia or lipid granuloma of the lung. These are low-grade, chronic, localized tissue reactions. Shortness of breath and cough are the most common symptoms. See Section 11 for additional information. Risk depends on duration and level of exposure. SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water and continue flushing until irritation subsides. If material is hot, treat for thermal burns and take victim to hospital immediately. Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated area thoroughly with soap and water. If redness or irritation occurs, seek medical attention. If material is hot, submerge injured area in cold water. If victim is severely burned, remove to a hospital immediately. If injected under the skin, contact a physician immediately. If material is injected under the skin, seek medical attention immediately. Note to physicians: In an accident involving high-pressure equipment, this type of product may be injected under the skin. Immediate treatment at a surgical emergency center is recommended, no matter how small and insignificant the wound may appear. Inhalation: This material has a low vapor pressure and is not expected to present an inhalation exposure at ambient conditions. If vapor or mist is generated when the material is heated or handles, remove victim from exposure. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention. Page 3 of 7 CNH CORNHEAD GREASE Revision Date: 04/21/06 Replaces: 01/26/06 SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FIRE CLASSIFICATION: OSHA Classification (29 CFR 1910.1200): Not classified by OSHA as flammable or combustible. NFPA RATINGS: Health: 1 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0 (0-Least, 1-Slight, 2-Moderate, 3-High, 4-Extreme, PPE:-Personal Protective Equipment Index recommendation) FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: Flash point: 433 °F ASTM D-92 (Cleveland Open Cup) based on lowest flash point component. Autoignition temperature: No Data Flammable (Explosive) limits (% by volume in air) Lower: No Data Upper: No Data Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide. Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Water may be ineffective but can be used to cool containers exposed to heat or flame. Caution should be exercised when using water or foam as frothing may occur, especially if sprayed into containers of hot, burning liquid. Unusual Fire and Explosive Conditions: Dense smoke may be generated while burning. Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other oxides may be generated as products of combustion. SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Protective Measures: Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spilled material. Consult Hazards Identification Information in Section 3, Personal Protection information in Section 8, Fire Fighting Measures in Section 5, and Reactivity data in Section 9. Spill Management: Contain spill immediately. Do not allow spill to enter sewers or watercourses. Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb with appropriate inert material such as sand, clay, etc. Large spills may be picked up using vacuum pumps, shovels, buckets, or other means and placed in drums or other suitable containers. Reporting: Report spills to local authorities and/or the U.S. Coast Guard’s National Response Center at (800) 424-8802 as appropriate or required. SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE Do not transfer to unmarked containers. Store in closed containers away from heat, sparks, open flame or oxidizing materials. Fire extinguishers should be kept readily available. See NFPA 30 and OSHA 1910.106--flammable and combustible liquids.

(0-Least, 1-Slight, 2-Moderate, 3-High, 4-Extreme, PPE:-Personal Protective Equipment Index recommendation) PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Eye protection: Eye protection is not required under normal conditions of use. If material is handled such that it could be splashed into eyes, wear plastic face shield or splash-proof safety goggles. Skin protection: No skin protection is required for single, short duration exposures. For prolonged or repeated exposures, use impervious clothing (boots, gloves, aprons, etc.) over parts of the body subject to exposure. If handling hot material, use insulated protective clothing (boots, gloves, aprons, etc.). Launder soiled clothes. Properly dispose of contaminated leather articles including shoes, which cannot be decontaminated. Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection is not required under conditions of normal use. If vapor or mist is generated when the material is heated or handled, use an organic vapor respirator with a dust and mist filter. All respirators must be NIOSH certified. Do not use compressed oxygen in hydrocarbon atmospheres. Ventilation: If vapor or mist is generated when the material is heated or handled, adequate ventilation in accordance with good engineering practice must be provided to maintain concentrations below the specified exposure or flammable limits. Other: Consumption of food and beverage should be avoided in work areas where hydrocarbons are present. Always wash hands and face with soap and water before eating, drinking, or smoking.
