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. Remove contact lenses if present after the first 5 minutes and
continue flushing for several more minutes. 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.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Harmful or fatal if swallowed. If swallowed, may be aspirated and cause
lung damage. May cause eye and respiratory irritation. Inhalation may cause coughing, headache and
dizziness. Skin contact may cause drying of the skin.
Indication of Immediate Medical Attention/Special Treatment Needed: Immediate medical attention is
needed for ingestion.
5 – Fire Fighting Measures
Suitable (and unsuitable) Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam. Do
not use water jet or flooding amounts of water. Burning product will float on the surface and spread fire.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical: Extremely flammable aerosol. 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. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along surfaces to
remote ignition sources and flash back. A vapor and air mixture can create an explosion hazard in confined
spaces. Combustion will produce oxides of carbon and hydrocarbons.
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: 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.
