EYE CONTACT: Exposed eyes should be immediately flushed with copious amounts of water using a steady stream for a
several minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling or tearing persist, seek medical attention.
INGESTION: DO NOT induce vomiting. Get immediate medical assistance by calling an emergency room or poison control
center. If medical advice cannot be obtained, take the person and product to the nearest medical emergency treatment center or
hospital. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into the lungs. Never give anything by
mouth to a person who is unconscious or drowsy.
MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS: Upon ingestion, there is a slight risk of aspiration in the lungs which can lead to
pneumonitis and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Prolonged skin contact may cause irritation. Breathing high vapor
concentrations may cause headache, dizziness, drowsiness or lung irritation.
INDICATION OF IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SPECIAL TREATMENT, IF NEEDED: Oil injection into
the skin from high-pressure hydraulic systems may cause severe injury. Seek medical attention immediately. Surgical removal
may be necessary.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: There is no specific antidote. The petroleum oil and other ingredients in this product are unlikely to
produce systemic symptoms following accidental ingestion. Upon ingestion, there is a slight risk of aspiration in the lungs
which can lead to pneumonitis and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Do not induce vomiting. If aspiration is suspected the
patient should be observed for sign of lung injury. Treatment should be directed at the control of symptoms and clinical
conditions. Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection requires prompt surgical debridement. There may be no signs of injury or
pain initially. Failure to provide immediate treatment may result in extensive necrosis.
5. Firefighting Measures
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water fog, foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical. Cool fire exposed containers
with water. Water or foam may cause frothing.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL: This product can burn but will not readily ignite. Vapors may be
released when heated above the flashpoint that can ignite when exposed to an ignition source. In enclosed spaces, heated vapor
can ignite with explosive force. Mists or sprays may burn at temperatures below the flashpoint. Containers may rupture from
excessive heat. Burning may produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, traces oxides of sulfur, phosphorous, zinc and
nitrogen.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Firefighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
and full protective clothing for fires in areas where chemicals are used or stored.
