If the victim is unconscious, do not give him/her water. This may lead to choking. 

The safe disposal of Molybdenum Disulfide

To safely dispose of Molybdenum Disulfide, follow local regulations and ensure it complies with OSHA Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) and is consistent with the provisions of the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). Due to its highly flammable nature, empty containers can be dangerous. It is therefore imperial that empty cans are not pressurized, cut, exposed to any flame or sparks, or reused without proper cleaning. 

In the case of accidental spilling, the use of water spray to disperse the vapors should suffice. Do not walk through the spilled area. If possible, close off the area for cleanup. Ensure that non-flammable material is used during cleanup. The liquid should be properly cleaned with dry sand, then placed in a chemical waste container for disposal.

Proper hygiene procedures must be followed

As with any chemically based adherent, good hygiene standards must be practiced. So, proper handwashing with soap and water when handling the product is always a good starting point to keep in mind when using Neolube No. 1260.

Proper protective clothing must be worn in a well-ventilated area. Respiratory protection should be used where there is insufficient ventilation when working with Neolube No.1260. Other protective clothing such as goggles, face masks, gloves, and non-slip boots should also be worn. Should accidental exposure occur, applicable first-aid measures should be administered. The following is a basic guideline of what should be done and when:

• In case of eye contact (causing the eye to tear or if redness or discomfort occurs), flush out with water for up to 15 minutes. If the symptoms get worse, then medical attention should be sought.
• If in contact with the skin, you should remove all contaminated clothing and wash the affected area with soap and water.
• In case of ingestion, wash the mouth out thoroughly with water and administer a glass or two of water to the patient if required. Do not, by any means, induce vomiting and seek medical attention promptly.
• If inhaled, remove the person into an area with good ventilation or into the open, and call for medical attention should the person experience any respiratory discomfort.

What to do in the event of a fire

In the case of a fire occurring in the presence of Neolube No.1260, standard fire-fighting methods should be employed to extinguish the flames using foam, carbon dioxide, and/ or dry powder. Firefighters on the scene should be aware of potentially hazardous gases that may be emitted and should ensure that full protective clothing and equipment is worn.

Proper Disposal of Neolube No. 1260

Proper disposal of waste by-products should be adhered to according to local regulations. Due to the insoluble nature of Neolube No. 1260 and to avoid any potential adverse effects on the environment through continuous disposal of the product in large quantities, waste materials should be disposed of in sealed, labeled containers. It is encouraged to reuse and recycle waste materials where you can.

Neoloube No. 1260 is a safe injectable sealant when used under the right conditions. As with any chemically- based product product-specific handling specifications should be adhered to as a precautionary measure to prevent any unforeseen or unnecessary accidents.

A unique graphite-based pipe sealant

Designed to withstand extremely high temperature, this paste is specially designed with powerful graphite as its base ensuring that the substrate is lubricated effectively for a considerable length of time.

Where can it be used?

It is advisable to use Neolube No.1260 in an ethylene oxide service as it is incompatible to be used in an oxygen-only service where chemicals such as nitrates, persulfates, perbenzoate, and peroxides are used.

What makes Neolube No. 1260 different from other lubricants

Of the most noteworthy properties of Neolube No. 1260, its flexibility, compatibility, conformability, and resiliency come out on top. Its molding capabilities ensure that it coats even the hardest to reach places creating an effective, durable seal.

It is recommended for use on pipe joints in critical services that are small in diameter, and it will not harden or cure even after years of use under high temperatures. This handy benefit will ensure that if pipe joints need to be disassembled, it is a much easier process.

How to use Neolube No. 1260

Nitrile and Viton gasket measures are most compatible with the product while EPDM, Silicone, and Neoprene gaskets should not be used in conjunction with Neolube No. 1260.

Enable to last a minimum of two years from the date of its first application, it is long-lasting and therefore cost-effective, and comes with easy to use instructions.

Neloube No.1260 is a highly beneficial thread pipe lubricant with a high chemical purity and has excellent properties which include good thermal stability, low halogen content, and excellent radiation resistance, making it ideal for use in critical service applications.
