Description
Apiezon Oil J is not vapor diffusion pump oils but is a lubricating oil intended for use in rotating gland seals and similar equipment where a good, moderately viscous oil and low vapor pressure are required. This oil is an excellent lubricant, as are the Apiezon greases.Apiezon Oil J is moderately viscous with an estimated vapor pressure at 20 °C of 10-8 torr.

Precautions
PRECAUTIONS: Apiezon Products - Health and Safety
Apiezon products have been widely and safely used in vacuum distillation apparatus in both industry and laboratories for a number of years. As a result they should not present a health hazard assuming normal standards of industrial hygiene and safety are followed in their handling.
All Apiezon products are bases on petroleum products of a low order of acute toxicity. However, certain individual develop a rash after repeated contact. Therefore, it is recommended that gloves be worn to handle Apiezon. If Apiezon material is inadvertently in contact with the skin, wipe the area carefully, then cleanse thoroughly using a mild soap. Should any Apiezon products be heated for application, vent the fumes and avoid breathing the warm vapors.
In terms of explosion and fire, Apiezon products are considered non-hazardous.
