Main Component: Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil 100%
Minor Components: Tocopherols (Vitamin E), fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, palmitic), squalene, plant sterols
Impurities: Free fatty acids, possible traces of phospholipids or plant waxes
Allergens: Contains natural plant-based proteins in trace amounts
Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses, seek medical attention if irritation persists
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water, discontinue use if irritation develops
Inhalation: Move to fresh air if irritation from vapors, most unlikely unless overheated
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water, seek advice if large amounts swallowed especially by children
Most Important Symptoms/Effects: Mild redness, irritation, or discomfort in eyes or on skin
Medical Attention and Special Treatment: Not usually necessary, symptomatic treatment as needed
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, CO2, foam, sand or earth, avoid direct water streams
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Water jets may spread burning oil
Special Hazards: Burning oil produces smoke, carbon monoxide, and acrolein
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing, contain run-off
Explosion Data: Oil can generate flammable mists/vapors if heated above flash point (approx 290°C)
Firefighting Instructions: Cool containers with water mist, approach from upwind
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon oxides, irritating fumes
Personal Precautions: Avoid skin or eye contact, use gloves
Protective Equipment: Chemical resistant gloves, safety goggles
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate area if large spill
Containment: Stop the source, use absorbents (sand, clay, inert material) to soak up oil
Cleanup Methods: Scrape up absorbed material, place in containers for disposal
Prevention of Secondary Hazards: Oil forms slippery surfaces, clean thoroughly with detergent
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, sewers, or waterways, notify authorities for large spills
Precautions for Safe Handling: Use in well-ventilated area, handle with clean equipment to prevent contamination
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, avoid eating or smoking during use
