Safety Information
Key Hazards
- Not classified as dangerous under EC criteria
- Prolonged or repeated skin contact can cause oil acne and folliculitis
- High-pressure injection under skin may cause serious tissue damage and local necrosis
- Used grease may contain harmful impurities from accumulated contaminants
- Will burn but not classified as flammable
First Aid Guide
Flush eye with copious quantities of water. If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothing and flush exposed area with water, then wash with soap. For high-pressure injection injuries, send casualty immediately to hospital without waiting for symptoms. Obtain medical attention even if no apparent wounds are visible.
No treatment necessary under normal conditions of use. If symptoms persist, obtain medical advice.
Generally no treatment necessary unless large quantities are swallowed. Get medical advice.
Protection Needed
Wear safety glasses or full face shield if splashes are likely to occur. Must be approved to EU Standard EN166.
Wear gloves approved to relevant standards (EN374 or F739) made from PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber when hand contact may occur. Replace contaminated gloves and maintain personal hygiene by washing hands thoroughly after use.
No respiratory protection ordinarily required under normal conditions. If engineering controls do not maintain adequate airborne concentrations, select appropriate respiratory protection equipment meeting EN141 standards for particulate/organic gases and vapours.
Skin protection beyond standard issue work clothes not ordinarily required under normal conditions of use.
Physical Properties
Safe Handling
- Use only if manufacturer's seal is intact
- Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin and inhalation of vapours or mists
- Properly dispose of contaminated rags and cleaning materials to prevent fires
- When handling in drums, wear safety footwear and use proper handling equipment
- Use local exhaust ventilation if risk of inhalation of vapours, mists or aerosols exists
Store food-grade lubricants separately from other lubricants, chemicals and foodstuffs. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place at 0-40°C (32-104°F). Use properly labelled containers and ensure tight closure after decanting. Use only mild steel or high-density polyethylene containers; avoid PVC.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)?
A Safety Data Sheet is a standardised document that provides detailed information about a chemical product’s hazards, safe handling procedures, storage requirements, and emergency measures. Under UK REACH and CLP regulations, suppliers must provide an SDS for hazardous substances to ensure workers can handle them safely.
How often should Safety Data Sheets be updated?
Safety Data Sheets should be reviewed and updated whenever new hazard information becomes available, when regulations change, or when the product formulation changes. Suppliers must update SDSs promptly and provide revised versions to customers. As a best practice, review your SDS library at least annually to ensure all documents are current.
Who is responsible for maintaining Safety Data Sheets?
Employers are legally responsible for obtaining and maintaining current SDSs for all hazardous substances used in their workplace. While suppliers must provide SDSs, employers must ensure they’re accessible to workers, kept up-to-date, and used to inform COSHH risk assessments and safe working procedures.
What are the 16 sections of a Safety Data Sheet?
The 16 mandatory SDS sections are: (1) Identification, (2) Hazard identification, (3) Composition/ingredients, (4) First-aid measures, (5) Fire-fighting measures, (6) Accidental release measures, (7) Handling and storage, (8) Exposure controls/PPE, (9) Physical properties, (10) Stability and reactivity, (11) Toxicological information, (12) Ecological information, (13) Disposal, (14) Transport, (15) Regulatory information, and (16) Other information.
How do I find the right Safety Data Sheet for a product?
Search using the exact product name as shown on the container, the manufacturer name, and optionally the CAS number for precise identification. Sevron’s SDS search tool lets you search millions of SDSs by product name, manufacturer, or CAS number, with multi-language options and instant PDF access.
What’s the difference between an SDS and an MSDS?
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) was the older format with varying structures across countries. SDS (Safety Data Sheet) is the globally harmonised format introduced under GHS with a standardised 16-section structure. Since June 2015, all safety data sheets in the EU/UK must follow the SDS format. The terms are often used interchangeably, but SDS is the current standard.
How should Safety Data Sheets be stored and made accessible?
SDSs must be readily accessible to all workers who handle hazardous substances. Store them in a central location—whether physical folders or digital systems—where workers can quickly access them. Digital SDS management systems like Sevron allow instant search and retrieval, automatic updates, and access from any device.
Can I use a Safety Data Sheet from another country?
SDSs must comply with the regulations of the country where the substance is used. UK/EU SDSs follow CLP regulation formatting, which may differ from US OSHA requirements. Always use region-appropriate SDSs and check that the language, hazard classifications, and regulatory information match UK requirements.
