Chemical Name: Corn oil
CAS Number: 8001-30-7
Constituents: Composed mostly of triglycerides of fatty acids such as linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid
Purity: Typically above 99% pure
Additives: Possible trace amounts of tocopherols, sterols, phospholipids
Impurities: Regulatory standards limit solvent residues and pesticide levels
Eye Contact: Rinse with plenty of water, remove contact lenses, continue rinsing if irritation persists, seek medical advice if symptoms develop
Skin Contact: Wash area thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical help for irritation or allergic reaction
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, provide oxygen if breathing is difficult, seek medical attention for continued symptoms
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical attention if large quantities are swallowed or symptoms appear
Notes: No delayed or immediate effects anticipated with routine use
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, water spray (avoid direct stream which may spread fire)
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Straight water jets
Specific Hazards: Oil is combustible; may produce irritating or toxic fumes such as acrolein when heated
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent skin and eye contact
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Smoke, acrolein, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Firefighting Instructions: Remove containers from fire area if safe, cool exposed containers with water spray
Personal Precautions: Prevent slips by cleaning up spills promptly; wear suitable gloves, use eye protection for large spills
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, water courses, soil; large spills call for notification to environmental authorities
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with dry inert material (sand, earth, vermiculite), place in appropriate waste disposal container
Decontamination: Wash area with detergent and water to remove oily residue
Disposal: Handle absorbents and waste in compliance with regulations
Handling: Maintain good industrial hygiene, use oil-resistant gloves for routine handling, avoid aerosolizing oil during transfers
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, direct sunlight, strong oxidizers
Container Requirements: Use sealed, food-grade, corrosion-resistant containers
Special Precautions: Take precautions against static discharge when transferring large volumes
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before meals and after handling, keep work space clean
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established exposure limits for food-grade oil; oil mist (mineral or vegetable) ACGIH TLV: 5 mg/m³ (inhalable fraction)
Engineering Controls: Provide local ventilation if oil mist generation is expected
Respiratory Protection: Not required under normal conditions; use NIOSH-approved mask for aerosolized oil
Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles for large-scale operations
Skin Protection: Oil-resistant gloves and protective clothing for frequent or prolonged contact
Environmental Controls: Collect spillage to prevent contamination of the environment

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Toxic fumes (acrolein, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide) on excessive heating or burning
Polymerization: Not known to occur
Acute Toxicity: Non-toxic by ingestion in typical food quantities; excessive ingestion may cause digestive upset
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: No skin irritation under normal use; prolonged or repeated contact may cause mild dermatitis for sensitive individuals
Eye Damage/Irritation: Mild, temporary irritation possible if oil splashes into eyes
Respiratory Sensitization: Unlikely to cause respiratory issues unless inhaled as a fine mist
Carcinogenicity: Not listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA as carcinogenic
Mutagenicity and Reproductive Toxicity: No evidence of genotoxic or teratogenic effects
Chronic Effects: No adverse health effects observed in normal dietary levels
Other Information: Individuals with fat metabolism disorders should limit consumption
Aquatic Toxicity: Not expected to be acutely harmful, but oil can form slicks on water, limiting oxygen transfer
Persistence and Degradability: Readily biodegradable through microbial action
Bioaccumulative Potential: Low, does not accumulate in aquatic organisms
Soil Mobility: Relatively immobile, binds to soil particles
Other Adverse Effects: Can cause physical fouling of wildlife (coating feathers or fur), may contribute to eutrophication in large quantities
Special Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways; report significant releases to authorities
Waste Disposal Method: Recycle if possible through approved recovery systems (biodiesel, animal feed, etc.), smaller amounts may go with household waste if permitted
Regulatory Requirements: Follow local, regional, and national waste disposal regulations
