4 FIRST-AID MEASURES
GENERAL INFORMATION

In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.
INHALATION

Remove to fresh air, keep the patient warm and at rest. If breathing has stopped administer artificial respiration. Give
nothing by mouth. If unconscious, place in the recovery position and seek medical advice.
INGESTION

If accidentally swallowed obtain immediate medical attention. Keep at rest. Do NOT induce vomiting.
SKIN CONTACT

Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water, or use a proprietary skin cleanser. Do NOT
use solvents or thinners. Seek medical advice if any irritation persists.
EYE CONTACT

Contact lenses should be removed. Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids
apart, and seek medical advice.

5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

REVISION DATE: 18-08-2004

TRIFLOW LUBRICANT AEROSOL
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

Fire can be extinguished using: alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide (CO2), powder, water spray/ mist. Do not use water
jet. Cool aerosol containers exposed to heat with water spray and remove container, if no risk is involved.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES

Fire will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous products of combustion (see Section 10). Exposure to
decomposition products may be hazardous to health. Appropriate self-contained breathing apparatus may be required.
Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or
watercourses.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL CLEAN UP METHODS

Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Exclude non-essential personnel. Avoid breathing vapours. Refer to
protective measures listed in Section 7 and 8. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent materials, e.g.
sand, earth or vermiculite, and place in a suitable container for disposal in accordance with the waste regulations (see
Section 13). Clean preferably with a detergent; avoid the use of solvents. If the product enters drains or sewers,
immediately contact the local water company; in the case of contamination of streams, rivers or lakes, the relevant
environment agency.

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
USAGE PRECAUTIONS

Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. They may form explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the
creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in air and avoid vapour concentrations higher than the
occupational exposure limits. Container must be kept tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Avoid
skin and eye contact. Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in areas of storage and use.
For Occupational Exposure Controls, refer to Section 8.
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations may apply to the handling of containers/packages of this product.
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

Aerosol cans: Must not be exposed to direct sunlight or temperatures above 50°C. Keep upright. Observe the label
precautions. Store between 5°C and 25°C. Keep in a cool, dry, well ventilated place, away from sources of heat, ignition
and direct sunlight. No smoking.
The principles contained in the HSE Guidance Note: Storage of Packaged Dangerous Substances, should be observed
when storing this product. Always keep in containers made of the same material as the supply container.
To avoid the risk of spillage, always store and transport in a secure and upright position.

INGREDIENT COMMENTS

OEL's are taken from the current version of EH40 except those marked 'SUP', which are assigned by the supplier of the
substance.
ENGINEERING MEASURES

Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable, this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust
ventilation and good general extraction. If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and/or solvent
vapours below the relevant occupational exposure limits, suitable respiratory protective equipment should be worn.
RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT

If exposure to hazardous substances identified above cannot be controlled by the provision of local exhaust ventilation and
good general extraction, suitable respiratory protective equipment should be worn.
HAND PROTECTION

When skin exposure may occur, advice should be sought from glove suppliers on appropriate types. Barrier creams may
help to protect exposed areas of skin but are not substitutes for full physical protection. They should not be applied once
exposure has occurred.
EYE PROTECTION

Eye protection designed to protect against liquid splashes should be worn.

REVISION DATE: 18-08-2004

TRIFLOW LUBRICANT AEROSOL
OTHER PROTECTION

Cotton or cotton/synthetic overalls or coveralls are normally suitable. Grossly contaminated clothing should be removed
and the skin washed with soap and water or a proprietary skin cleaner. Do not use solvents or thinners as skin cleaning
agents.
All personal protective equipment, including respiratory protective equipment, used to control exposure to hazardous
substances must be selected to meet the requirements of the COSHH Regulations.

11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

There is no data available on the product itself. The product has been assessed following the conventional method in CHIP
and is classified for toxicological hazards accordingly. This takes into account, where known, delayed and immediate
effects and also chronic effects from components from short-term and long-term exposure by oral, inhalation and dermal
routes of exposure and eye contact. See Sections 3 and 15 for details of the resulting hazard classification.
Exposure to organic solvent vapours in excess of the stated occupational exposure limit may result in adverse health
effects such as irritation of the mucous membrane and the respiratory system and adverse effects on the kidney, liver and
central nervous systems. Symptoms and signs include headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness, drowsiness and
in extreme cases loss of consciousness.
Solvents may cause some of the above effects by absorption through the skin.
Repeated or prolonged contact with the product may lead to removal of natural fats from the skin resulting in non-allergic
contact dermatitis and absorption through the skin. Splashes in the eyes may cause irritation and reversible local damage.
