4. FIRST AID MEASURES

If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126, New Zealand 0800
764 766).

Inhalation: Remove victim from exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing and
loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest until
fully recovered. Seek medical advice if effects persist.

Skin Contact: If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with running
water. If swelling, redness, blistering or irritation occurs seek medical assistance. For gross contamination,
immediately drench with water and remove clothing. Continue to flush skin and hair with plenty of water (and soap
if material is insoluble). For skin burns, cover with a clean, dry dressing until medical help is available. If
blistering occurs, do NOT break blisters. If swelling, redness, blistering, or irritation occurs seek medical
assistance.

Eye contact: If in eyes wash out immediately with water. In all cases of eye contamination it is a sensible
precaution to seek medical advice.

Ingestion: Immediately rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water to
drink. Never give anything by the mouth to an unconscious patient. If vomiting occurs give further water.
Immediately call Poisons Centre or Doctor.

Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Hazchem Code: Not applicable.

Suitable extinguishing media: If material is involved in a fire use water fog (or if unavailable fine water spray),
alcohol resistant foam, standard foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).

Specific hazards: Flammable liquid and vapour. May form flammable vapour mixtures with air. Flameproof
equipment necessary in area where this chemical is being used. Nearby equipment must be earthed. Electrical
requirements for work area should be assessed according to AS3000. Vapour may travel a considerable
distance to source of ignition and flash back. Avoid all ignition sources. All potential sources of ignition (open
Product Name: Prepsol Reference No: 16-04-1087
Issued: 2017-06-14 Version: 3.0 Page 2 of 6
 Safety Data Sheet
flames, pilot lights, furnaces, spark producing switches and electrical equipment etc) must be eliminated both in
and near the work area. Do NOT smoke.

Fire fighting further advice: Heating can cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of
containers. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Keep containers cool with water spray. On
burning or decomposing may emit toxic fumes. Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and
suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion or decomposition.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

SMALL SPILLS
Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination. Avoid inhalation of vapours or dust. Wipe up
with absorbent (clean rag or paper towels). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal.

LARGE SPILLS
If safe to do so, shut off all possible sources of ignition. Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Slippery when
spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination
and the inhalation of vapours. Work up wind or increase ventilation. Contain - prevent run off into drains and
waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert material). Use a spark-free shovel. Collect and seal in
properly labelled containers or drums for disposal. If contamination of crops, sewers or waterways has occurred
advise local emergency services.

Dangerous Goods - Initial Emergency Response Guide No: Not applicable

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Avoid eye contact and repeated or prolonged skin contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or
aerosols.
