WD-40 lubricates moving parts such as hinges, wheels, rollers, chains, and gears. It protects against rust and corrosion on items like tools, and sporting equipment. It penetrates to free stuck corroded parts like nuts, bolts, valves and locks. It quickly removes adhesives, corrosion and paint. It displaces moisture to restore water flooded equipment such as engines, spark plugs and power tools.
Surface Compatibility
For all variations : WD-40 demonstrates none to negligible deleterious effect to plastic, rubber, and metal hard surfaces. This includes Acetal, neoprene/hard rubber, HDPE, PPS Copolymer Polysulfone, Teflon, Viton, steel, galvanized steel hot dip, electroplated, copper, brass, magnesium, nickel, tin plate, titanium, and zinc.
Surface Cautions
Nearly all surfaces interact with WD-40 as they would any high grade ali-phatic petroleum spirit. Certain types of rubber will swell upon prolonged immersion. Wax polishes and certain wax coatings may be softened by WD-40. Clear polycarbonate and polystyrene may stress craze or crack. Always test surfaces first.

| Extinguishing media | : CO2 , dry chemical, foam |
| Special fire fighting procedures | : See section 5 herein |
| Unusual fire and explosion hazards | : Flammable |
Health /Routes of Entry
| Threshold limit value | : Hydrocarbon solvent lowest TLV (100ppm) |
| Carcinogenic: | :The product has been assessed by NTP, IARC and OSHA and passed as being non-carcinogenic |
Symptoms of Exposure
| Inhalation | : May cause anaesthesia, headache, dizziness, nausea and upper respiratory irritation |
| Skin contact | : May cause drying of skin and/or irritation |
| Eye contact | : May cause irritation, tears and redness |
| Ingestion | : May cause irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea |
|
SKIN |
: Wash copiously with soap and water - remove contaminated clothing, including shoes and launder before re-use. If skin irritation develops seek immediate medical attention. |
|
EYES |
: As soon as possible irrigate thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids apart. If in any doubt, or the irritation persists, obtain medical attention. |
|
INHALATION |
: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen |
|
INGESTION |
: In the event of deliberate ingestion help must be obtained urgently. |
Keep at rest. Do not induce vomiting but seek prompt medical attention. Observe patient in case abdominal pain develops, or patient starts to vomit. Try to keep patient conscious and try to make certain that patient does not aspirate vomit into lungs.
Keep product in storage (and in use) away from sources of ignition. In the event of fire, remove all unaffected product (if possible) away from the immediate vicinity. If necessary cool stocks with water mists. Extinguish burning material with foam, dry powder, CO2 or halons. DO NOT USE WATER.
Small Scale Spillages:
In the unlikely event of spillages from aerosol cans, place cans in bags or open pail until pressure has dissipated. Aerosol cans must not be punctured or incinerated but disposed of in land fill or in accordance with local regulations. Do not wash WD-40 contamination into drains and waterways. Instead wipe affected areas with white spirit or turpentine substitute and allow to dry When dry wash affected areas with soapy water to remove any remnants of WD-40. If white spirit cannot be applied, layer with sawdust or absorbent material. Allow to dry and then sweep/shovel into refuse bins and dispose of via public or private waste disposal.
Large Scale Spillages:
In the event of large roadside transport spillages resulting from collision or overturned vehicles, vehicles must be kept away from contaminated roads or other surfaces. Affected areas should be covered in layers of sawdust or similarly absorbent material. Do not wash into drains, waterways or soil courses. Later remove absorbent material to waste disposal site. Marine spillages should be dealt with in accordance with pollutant procedures which are relevant to the product classification and IMDG codes.
Special Handling Information:
Ventilation:
Must be sufficient to keep solvent vapour less than TLV.
Ventilation:
Advised when concentration of solvent vapour exceeds TLV.
Protective gloves:
Advised when skin comes into contact with WD-40 regularly or to prevent possible skin irritation.
Eye protection :
Factory or industrial users are advised to wear protection to guard against potential eye contact.
Other protection equipment:
None required.
Special Storage Information:
There is no special storage information relevant to the keeping of WD-40. It is obvious that aerosols should be kept away from sources of ignition or ambient temperatures above 50°Celsius. Local laws and fire inspectorates may also influence storage policies of commercial organisations. Do not store large quantities of WD-40 aerosols in unventilated bunkers or enclosures. Keep out of reach of children. Do not spray on naked flame or any incandescent material. No Smoking near expelled product.
