| 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES | |
INGESTION (SWALLOWED):
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL A PHYSICIAN, POISON CONTROL CENTER, OR THE
WD-40 SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-324-7596. RINSE MOUTH WITH WATER AND GIVE
ONE EIGHT-OUNCE GLASS OF WATER TO DRINK IF THE PATIENT IF CONSCIOUS AND
RESPONSIVE. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
EYE CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES,
LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF
IRRITATION PERSISTS.
SKIN CONTACT:
WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH BEFORE
REUSE. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS OR SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
DEVELOP.
INHALATION (BREATHING):
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION OR SYMPTOMS
PERSIST.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. EXCESSIVE INHALATION CAN CAUSE HEADACHE,
DROWSINESS, AND NAUSEA. CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY TRACT.
SWALLOWING MAY CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION.
INDICATION OF IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION/SPECIAL TREATMENT NEEDED:
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IS GENERALLY NOT REQUIRED.
| 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
SUITABLE (AND UNSUITABLE) EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
USE WATER FOG, DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE OR FOAM.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL:
CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE. KEEP AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES AND OPEN FLAMES.
EXPOSURE OF CONTAINERS TO EXTREME HEAT AND FLAMES CAN CAUSE THEM TO RUPTURE
OFTEN WITH VIOLENT FORCE. CONCENTRATE IS A FLAMMABLE LIQUID. VAPORS ARE
HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY TRAVEL TO REMOTE IGNITION SOURCES AND FLASH BACK.
A VAPOR AND AIR MIXTURE CAN CREATE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD IN CONFINED SPACES.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS:
FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR POSITIVE PRESSURE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. COOL FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS WITH
WATER. USE SHIELDING TO PROTECT AGAINST BURSTING CONTAINERS.
| 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
REMOVE PERSONNEL FROM GENERAL AREA. WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
(SEE SECTION 8). ELIMINATE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION AND VENTILATE AREA.
METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT/CLEANUP:
LEAKING CANS SHOULD BE PLACED IN A PLASTIC BAG OR OPEN PAIL UNTIL THE
PRESSURE HAS DISSIPATED. CONTAIN AND COLLECT LIQUID WITH AN INERT ABSORBENT
AND PLACE IN A CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL. CLEAN SPILL AREA THOROUGHLY. REPORT
SPILLS TO AUTHORITIES AS REQUIRED.
| 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING:
AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES. AVOID PROLONGED CONTACT WITH SKIN. AVOID BREATHING
VAPORS OR AEROSOLS. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. KEEP AWAY FROM
HEAT, SPARKS, PILOT LIGHTS, HOT SURFACES AND OPEN FLAMES. UNPLUG ELECTRICAL
TOOLS, MOTORS AND APPLIANCES BEFORE SPRAYING OR BRINGING THE CAN NEAR ANY
SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY. ELECTRICITY CAN BURN A HOLE IN THE CAN AND CAUSE
CONTENTS TO BURST INTO FLAMES. TO AVOID SERIOUS BURN INJURY, DO NOT LET THE
CAN TOUCH BATTERY TERMINALS, ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ON MOTORS OR APPLIANCES
OR ANY OTHER SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY. WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER
AFTER HANDLING. KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. KEEP OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN. DO NOT PUNCTURE, CRUSH OR INCINERATE CONTAINERS, EVEN
WHEN EMPTY.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE:
STORE IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED AREA, AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS AND
HEAT, SPARKS OR OPEN FLAME. DO NOT STORE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR ABOVE 120
DEG. F. U.F.C (NFPA 30B) LEVEL 1 AEROSOL.
