EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
DANGER!
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AEROSOL. CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE. HARMFUL OR FATAL IS
SWALLOWED. IF SWALLOWED, MAY BE ASPIRATED AND CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE. MAY CAUSE
EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE AN
ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. KEEP AWAY FROM
HEAT, SPARKS, FLAMES AND ALL OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION.
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
INHALATION:
MIST OR VAPOR CAN IRRITATE THE THROAT AND LUNGS. HIGH CONCENTRATIONS MAY
CAUSE NASAL AND RESPIRATORY IRRITATION AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS
SUCH AS HEADACHE, DIZZINESS AND NAUSEA. INTENTIONAL ABUSE MAY BE HARMFUL OR
FATAL.
SKIN CONTACT:
MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION WITH SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE WITH REDNESS, ITCHING AND
BURNING OF THE SKIN. PROLONGED AND/OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY PRODUCE DEFATTING
AND DERMATITIS. REPEATED CONTACT MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION AND/OR
A PHOTOSENSITIZATION (SENSITIVITY TO SUNLIGHT).
EYE CONTACT:
CONTACT MAY BE IRRITATING TO EYES. MAY CAUSE REDNESS, STINGING, SWELLING AND
TEARING.
INGESTION:
THIS PRODUCT HAS LOW ORAL TOXICITY. IF SWALLOWED, THIS MATERIAL MAY CAUSE
IRRITATION OF THE MOUTH, THROAT AND ESOPHAGUS. SWALLOWING MAY CAUSE
GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION, NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA, DIZZINESS,
DROWSINESS AND OTHER CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS. THIS PRODUCT IS AN
ASPIRATION HAZARD. IF SWALLOWED, CAN ENTER THE LUNGS AND MAY CAUSE CHEMICAL
PNEUMONITIS, SEVERE LUNG DAMAGE AND DEATH.
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT MAY DEFAT THE SKIN RESULTING IN
IRRITATION AND DERMATITIS.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
PREEXISTING EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY
EXPOSURE.

SEE SECTION 8 FOR EXPOSURE LIMITS
| 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES | |
INGESTION (SWALLOWED):
ASPIRATION HAZARD. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL PHYSICIAN, POISON CONTROL
CENTER OR THE WD-40 SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-324-7596 IMMEDIATELY.
EYE CONTACT:
FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. REMOVE CONTACT LENSES IF PRESENT
AFTER THE FIRST 5 MINUTES AND CONTINUE FLUSHING. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF
IRRITATION PERSISTS.
SKIN CONTACT:
WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS AND PERSISTS, GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
INHALATION (BREATHING):
IF IRRITATION IS EXPERIENCED, MOVE TO FRESH AIR. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF
IRRITATION OR OTHER SYMPTOMS DEVELOP AND PERSIST.
| 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
USE WATER FOG, DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE OR FOAM. COOL FIRE EXPOSED
CONTAINERS WITH WATER.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
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 CANS.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AEROSOL. CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE. KEEP AWAY FROM
IGNITION SOURCE AND OPEN FIRE. EXPOSURE OF CONTAINERS TO EXTREME HEAT AND
FLAMES CAN CAUSE THEM TO RUPTURE OFTEN WITH VIOLENT FORCE. A VAPOR AND AIR
MIXTURE CAN CREATE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD IN CONFINED SPACES.
| 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (SEE SECTION 8). ELIMINATE ALL SOURCES
OF IGNITION AND VENTILATE AREA. 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 | |
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.
STORAGE:
STORE IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED AREA, AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. DO
NOT STORE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR ABOVE 120 DEG. F. U.F.C (NFPA 30B) LEVEL 3
AEROSOL.
