What is the proper first aid treatment for eye exposure to Skydrol fluid?
Solutia is not aware of any case of eye damage from exposure to Skydrol fluid. When the fluid gets into the eyes, it can cause severe pain, but the pain will subside as soon as the fluid is removed. First aid is washing with tap water, or a standard eye irrigation solution. 15 minutes of washing with water will usually be enough to remove the Skydrol and cause the pain to cease. Secondary treatment, such as with sterile mineral oil, should only be given under the care of a medical professional, as it goes beyond recommended first aid. Milk is not recommended as an eye wash, because it is not sterile and can cause infections in the eye. Always remember to wear safety glasses or chemical goggles to prevent eye exposure when working around Skydrol.
