3. Composition/information on ingredients
*The full texts of the Hazard (H) phrases are shown in Section 16.
There are no additional ingredients present which, within the current knowledge of the supplier and in the
concentrations applicable, are classified as hazardous to health or the environment and hence do not
require reporting in this section.
Skin Contact
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use a recognised skin
cleanser. Do NOT use solvents or thinners.
Eye Contact
Irrigate copiously with clean fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart and seek medical
attention.
Ingestion
If accidentally swallowed obtain immediate medical attention. Keep at rest. Do NOT induce vomiting.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
No data available
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
No data available
5. Fire-fighting measures
Note; Fire will produce dense black smoke. Decomposition products may be hazardous to health. Avoid
exposure and use breathing apparatus as appropriate.
Cool closed containers exposed to fire by spraying them with water. Do not allow run off water and
contaminants from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Fire will produce dense black smoke. Decomposition products may include the following materials: carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, smoke, oxides of nitrogen.
Avoid exposure and use breathing apparatus as appropriate.
5.3. Advice for fire-fighters
Cool closed containers exposed to fire by spraying them with water. Do not allow run off water and
contaminants from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Contain and absorb spillage with non-combustible materials e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite. Place in closed
containers outside buildings and dispose of according to the Waste Regulations. (See section 13).
If drains, sewers, streams or lakes are contaminated, inform the local water company immediately. In the
case of contamination of rivers, streams or lakes the Environmental Protection Agency should also be
informed.
In Storage
Handle containers carefully to prevent damage and spillage.
Naked flames and smoking should not be permitted in storage areas. It is recommended that fork lift trucks
and electrical equipment are protected to the appropriate standard.
This coating contains solvents. Solvent vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapours
may form explosive mixtures with air. Areas of storage, preparation and application should be ventilated to
prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in air and avoid vapour
concentrations higher than the occupational exposure limits.
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in all preparation and application areas.
Never use pressure to empty a container; containers are not pressure vessels.
There are no exposure scenarios, see details in section 1.
Store on concrete or other impervious floor, preferably with bunding to contain any spillage. Do not stack
more than 3 pallets high.
Keep container tightly closed. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to
prevent leakage. Keep in the original container or one of the same material.
The product may charge electrostatically. Always use earthing leads when pouring solvents and
transferring product. Operators should wear clothing which does not generate static (at least 60% natural
fibre) and antistatic footwear; floors should be of conducting type.
DNEL/PNEC values
No Data Available
Eye Protection
Wear safety eyewear, e.g. safety spectacles, goggles or visors to protect against the splash of liquids.
Eyewear should comply with an approved standard.
Wear a full face shield if mixing or pouring operations pose a risk of splashes.
Skin Protection
Gloves of an appropriate material should be worn during mixing and application.
Other
Overalls which cover the body, arms and legs should be worn. Skin should not be exposed. Barrier creams
may help to protect areas which are difficult to cover such as the face and neck. They should however not
be applied once exposure has occurred. Petroleum jelly based types such as Vaseline should not be used.
All parts of the body should be washed after contact.
Respiratory Protection
When concentrations exceed the exposure limits shown above, workers must wear appropriate approved
respirators. Provision of other controls such as exhaust ventilation should be considered if practical.
Thermal hazards
No Data Available
10.1. Reactivity
No data available
10.2. Chemical stability
Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions (see section 7). When exposed to high
temperatures may produce hazardous decomposition products such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
oxides of nitrogen and smoke.
Keep away from oxidising agents, strongly alkaline and strongly acid materials in order to avoid possible
exothermic reactions.
10.3. Possibility of hazardous reactions
May react exothermically with: oxidising agents, strong alkalis, strong acids.
10.4. Conditions to avoid
Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions (see section 7).
10.5. Incompatible materials
Keep away from the following materials: oxidising agents, strong alkalis, strong acids.
10.6. Hazardous decomposition products
Fire will produce dense black smoke. Decomposition products may include the following materials: carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, smoke, oxides of nitrogen.
Avoid exposure and use breathing apparatus as appropriate.
Acute toxicity
Exposure to solvent vapour concentrations from the component solvents in excess of the stated
occupational exposure limits may result in adverse health effects such as mucous membrane and
respiratory system irritation and adverse effects on the kidneys, liver and central nervous system.
Symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness, drowsiness and in extreme
cases, loss of consciousness.
Repeated or prolonged contact with the preparation may cause removal of natural fat from the skin
resulting in dryness, irritation and possible non-allergic contact dermatitis. Solvents may also be absorbed
through the skin. Splashes of liquid in the eyes may cause irritation and soreness with possible reversible
damage.
The preparation has been assessed using the Acute Toxicity Data listed below, and classified for
toxicological hazards accordingly. See section 2 for details.
