SECTION 4: First aid measures

4.1. Description of first aid measures
First-aid measures general : In case of spontaneous vomiting, transport the victim to a hospital, to verify the
possibility that the product has been aspired into the lungs.
First-aid measures after inhalation : Inhalation is unlikely because of the low vapour pressure of the substance at
ambient temperature. Exposure to vapours may however occur when the substance
is handled at high temperatures with poor ventilation. In case of symptoms arising
from inhalation of product fumes, mists or vapour : Remove casualty to a quiet and
well ventilated place if safe to do so. If casualty is unconscious and not breathing:
ensure that there is no obstruction to breathing and give artificial respiration by
trained personnel. If necessary, give external cardiac massage and obtain medical
advice. If the casualty is breathing: Place in the recovery position. Administer oxygen
if necessary.
First-aid measures after skin contact : Take off contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash thoroughly with soap and water. If
inflammation or irritation persists, seek medical advice.
First-aid measures after eye contact : Rinse eyes thoroughly for at least 15 minutes. Keep eyelids well apart. Remove
contact lenses, if present and easy to do so. If irritation persists, seek medical
advice. Do not use salves or ointments, unless directed by doctor.

First-aid measures after ingestion : Do not induce vomiting to avoid aspiration into the lungs. If the person is conscious,
rinse mouth with water without swallowing. Keep at rest. Call for medical assistance
or bring to an hospital. If the casualty is inconscious, place in the recovery position.
In case of spontaneous vomiting, keep head low, to avoid the risk of aspiration into
the lungs. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms / injuries (general indications) : None.
Symptoms/injuries after inhalation : This product has a low vapour pressure, and in normal conditions at ambient
temperature the concentration in the air is negligible. A significant concentration
may build up only if the product is used at high temperature, or in case of sprays
and mists. In these cases overexposure to vapours may cause irritation to airways,
nausea and dizziness.
Symptoms/injuries after skin contact : Prolonged and repeated skin contact may cause reddening, irritation and dermatitis.
Symptoms/injuries after eye contact : Contact with eyes may cause reddening and irritation.
Symptoms/injuries after ingestion : Accidental ingestion of small quantities of the product may cause nausea,
discomfort and gastric disturbances. If any, nausea and diarrhoea might occur.

account that in this case the lower explosion limit for mists is about 45 g/m³ of air.
Combustion products : Incomplete combustion is likely to give rise to a complex mixture of airborne solid
and liquid particulates, gases, including carbon monoxide, NOx.,Oxygenated
compounds (aldehydes, etc.)

5.3. Advice for firefighters

Firefighting instructions : Stop or contain leak at the source, if safe to do so. If possible, move containers and
drums away from danger area. Spilled product which is not burning should be
covered with sand or foam. Use water sprays to cool containers and surfaces
exposed to the flames. If the fire cannot be controlled, evacuate area.

to the good practice of industrial hygiene.
Additional information : Note: The Derived No Effect Level (DNEL) is an estimated safe level of exposure that
is derived from toxicity data in accord with specific guidance within the European
REACH regulation. The DNEL may differ from an Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL)
for the same chemical. OELs may be recommended by an individual company, a
governmental regulatory body or an expert organization, such as the Scientific
Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL) or the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). OELs are considered to be safe
exposure levels for a typical worker in an occupational setting for an 8-hour work
shift, 40 hour work week, as a time weighted average (TWA) or a 15 minute short-
term exposure limit (STEL). While also considered to be protective of health, OELs
are derived by a process different from that of REACH.
8.2. Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls : Before entering storage tanks and commencing any operation in a confined area
(e.g. tunnels), carry out an adequate clean-up, and check the atmosphere for
oxygen content and flammability.
