M x v a u r i Q319Q O t 0Xfr4 4-1000 ' TOXICITY AND SATE HAMPLINO OF PYDRAUL 312 This hydraulic fluid consists of chlorinated biphenyl, a Phosphate ester, and a high viscosity elected petroleum' ractiotT oT IMTvolatlllty Our label for thia product contains the following precautionary statement: caution: Contains Chlorinated Hydrocarbons. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors or mists. Avoid contact with eyes or prolonged contact with akin. If skin contact occurs, remove by washing with , soap and water. Following eye contact flush with water. If clothing becomes soaked with fluid, launder before wearing again. Experience with this and other members of the Fydraul series Indicate that these fluids should be used In systems as free from leaks as possible. This is particularly important if the fluid is at elevated temperature where components of the formulation may be volatilized into the workroom. At ambient temperature the vapor pressures are auch that there are no significant vapor inhalation hazards. If there is accidental spraying of Pydraul 312 into molten metal or on heated surfaces, the fluid will be vaporized and/or decomposed depending on the temperature of the matai. About 15 years ago we had rather extensive tests run at Kettering Laboratories at the University of Cincinnati where a Pydraul fluid was sprayed on metal heated to 1Q57F and 1250F. The vaporized fluid and decomposition products were discharged into suitable animal exposure chambers. Similar experiments were run with a trlcresyl phosphate hydraulic fluid end a petroleum based fluid. The general conclusion reached was that there was little difference, from & practical standpoint, in the toxicity of the three products as demonstrated in the experiments. PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT NPC00034479 If a phosphate ester fluid or Pydraul is sprayed into molten r.e'tal as a result of the rupture of a hydraulic line on a diecasting machine, a cloud of acrid vanor and smoke will develop. This will consist principally of soot, CO, COoj water,.aldehydes and cresols. In the case of Pydraul, there will be in addition hydrochloric acid In the smoke due to the decora)ositi,pn of the chlorinated compound. This may make the ''cloud somewhat more acrid or irritating but does not significently increase the toxicity. Where the Pydraula have been involved in such accidents, there have not been cases where employees could not safely shut down equipment and leave the area. As with a phosphate based fluid, it might or might not be necessary to wear respiratory protection to re-enter the area until it could be ventilated. This would depend, of course, on the amount of fluid that was sprayed or leaked onto the molten metal or hot surface. Our label recommends avoidance of repeated and prolonged skin contact. This precaution is indicated since Pydraul 312 is an excellent solvent for the natural fats and oils on the skin. When these are removed the skin may tend to dry and crack. The fluid works much like many common paint thlnners In this respect. April 3, 1967 R. Emmet K.lly, M.B. Medical Department NPC00034480
