4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
In case of skin contact : Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately flush skin with
large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, and follow by
washing with soap and water if available. If redness, swelling,
pain and/or blisters occur, transport to the nearest medical
facility for additional treatment.
When using high pressure equipment, injection of product
under the skin can occur. If high pressure injuries occur, the
casualty should be sent immediately to a hospital. Do not wait
for symptoms to develop.

Safety Data Sheet
Most important symptoms : If material enters lungs, signs and symptoms may include
and effects, both acute and coughing, choking, wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chest
delayed congestion, shortness of breath, and/or fever.
The onset of respiratory symptoms may be delayed for
several hours after exposure.
Protection of first-aiders : When administering first aid, ensure that you are wearing the
appropriate personal protective equipment according to the

General Precautions : Avoid breathing of or direct contact with material. Only use in
well ventilated areas. Wash thoroughly after handling. For
guidance on selection of personal protective equipment see
Chapter 8 of this Safety Data Sheet.

assessment of local circumstances to help determine
appropriate controls for safe handling, storage and disposal of
this material.
Air-dry contaminated clothing in a well-ventilated area before
laundering.
Prevent spillages.
Use local exhaust ventilation if there is risk of inhalation of
vapours, mists or aerosols.
Never siphon by mouth.
Contaminated leather articles including shoes cannot be
decontaminated and should be destroyed to prevent reuse.
Advice on safe handling : Ensure that all local regulations regarding handling and
storage facilities are followed.
Avoid inhaling vapour and/or mists.
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
When using do not eat or drink.

Storage
Other data : Drum and small container storage:
Drums should be stacked to a maximum of 3 high.
Use properly labeled and closable containers.
Tank storage:
Tanks must be specifically designed for use with this product.
Bulk storage tanks should be diked (bunded).
Locate tanks away from heat and other sources of ignition.
Must be stored in a diked (bunded) well- ventilated area, away
from sunlight, ignition sources and other sources of heat.
Vapours form tanks should not be released to atmosphere.
Breathing losses during storage should be controlled by a
suitable vapour treatment system.
The vapour is heavier than air. Beware of accumulation in pits
and confined spaces.
Keep container tightly closed and in a cool, well-ventilated
place.
Keep in a cool place.
Electrostatic charges will be generated during pumping.
Electrostatic discharge may cause fire. Ensure electrical
continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all equipment
to reduce the risk.
The vapours in the head space of the storage vessel may lie
in the flammable/explosive range and hence may be
flammable.

Packaging material : Suitable material: For containers, or container linings use mild
steel, stainless steel., Aluminium may also be used for
applications where it does not present an unnecessary fire
hazard., Examples of suitable materials are: high density
polyethylene (HDPE) and Viton (FKM), which have been
specifically tested for compatibility with this product., For
container linings, use amine-adduct cured epoxy paint., For
seals and gaskets use: graphite, PTFE, Viton A, Viton B.
Unsuitable material: Some synthetic materials may be
unsuitable for containers or container linings depending on the
material specification and intended use. Examples of
materials to avoid are: natural rubber (NR), nitrile rubber
(NBR), ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM), polymethyl
methacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC),
polyisobutylene., However, some may be suitable for glove
materials.

Monitoring Methods
Monitoring of the concentration of substances in the breathing zone of workers or in the general
workplace may be required to confirm compliance with an OEL and adequacy of exposure
controls. For some substances biological monitoring may also be appropriate.
Validated exposure measurement methods should be applied by a competent person and
samples analysed by an accredited laboratory.
Examples of sources of recommended exposure measurement methods are given below or
contact the supplier. Further national methods may be available.

Engineering measures : The level of protection and types of controls necessary will
vary depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select
controls based on a risk assessment of local circumstances.
Appropriate measures include:
Use sealed systems as far as possible.
Firewater monitors and deluge systems are recommended.
Adequate explosion-proof ventilation to control airborne
concentrations below the exposure guidelines/limits.
Local exhaust ventilation is recommended.
Eye washes and showers for emergency use.

Safety Data Sheet
Hand protection
Remarks : Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of
gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374,
US: F739) made from the following materials may provide
suitable chemical protection. When prolonged or frequent
repeated contact occurs. Nitrile rubber. For incidental
contact/splash protection Neoprene, PVC gloves may be
suitable. For continuous contact we recommend gloves with
breakthrough time of more than 240 minutes with preference
for > 480 minutes where suitable gloves can be identified. For
short-term/splash protection we recommend the same, but
recognize that suitable gloves offering this level of protection
may not be available and in this case a lower breakthrough
time maybe acceptable so long as appropriate maintenance
and replacement regimes are followed. Glove thickness is not
a good predictor of glove resistance to a chemical as it is
dependent on the exact composition of the glove material.
Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage,
e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical resistance of
glove material, dexterity. Always seek advice from glove
suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Personal
hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must
only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands
should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-
