SECTION 4: First-aid Measures

4.1 Description of First Aid Measures
GENERAL NOTES: When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice. Show this safety data sheet to the
doctor in attendance. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
AFTER INHALATION: Move to fresh air. Remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms continue, get medical attention.
AFTER SKIN CONTACT: Use a mild soap if available. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing
all contaminated clothes and shoes. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Do NOT use solvents or thinners.
AFTER EYE CONTACT: Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids,
for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses. In case of eye contact, remove contact lens and rinse immediately with
plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
AFTER INGESTION: Gently wipe or rinse the inside of the mouth with water. If symptoms persist, call a physician or Poison
Control Centre immediately. Give small amounts of water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth
to an unconscious person. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
Self protection of the first aider:
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid
to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it, or wear gloves.

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

No Information
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

No information available on clinical testing and medical monitoring. Specific toxicological information on substances, if
available, can be found in section 11.

SECTION 5: Fire-fighting Measures

5.1 Extinguishing Media:
Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog
FOR SAFETY REASONS NOT TO BE USED: Alcohol, Alcohol based solutions, any other media not listed above. Do not
use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Explosive reaction may occur on heating or burning. In use, may form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture.

5.3 Advice for firefighters

Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray. Fire will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous
combustion products (see section 10). Flash back possible over considerable distance. In the event of fire, wear self-
contained breathing apparatus. Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. Hazardous decomposition
products formed under fire conditions. Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged
into drains. Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Remove
all sources of ignition.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Prevent product from entering drains.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Contain spillage, soak up with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g.
sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and transfer to a container for disposal according to local / national regulations
(see section 13). Ventilate the area. Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
6.4 Reference to other sections

FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS: Please refer to EU disposal requirements or country specific disposal requirements for this
material. See Section 13 for further information.

SECTION 7: Handling and Storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling

Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge (which might cause ignition of organic vapours). Vapours may form
explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in air and avoid vapour
concentration higher than the occupational exposure limits. Electrical equipment should be protected to the appropriate
standard. Preparation may charge electrostatically: always use earthing leads when transferring from one container to
another. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in
work rooms. As a rule, at least 10 air changes per hour are recommended at the workplace. To avoid ignition of vapours by
static electricity discharge, all metal parts of the equipment must be grounded. Wear personal protective equipment. Do not
breathe vapours or spray mist. Use only explosion-proof equipment. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause skin irritation and/or dermatitis and sensitization of susceptible persons. In
the case of sensitisation to any of the ingredients, it is inadvisable to work with the product. Handle in accordance with good
industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday. Keep away from food, drink
and animal feeding stuffs. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands and face before breaks and immediately
after handling the product.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid temperatures above 40 °C, direct sunlight and contact with sources of heat. Heat, flames
and sparks. Direct sources of heat.
STORAGE CONDITIONS: Store in original container. Store at room temperature in the original container. Keep locked up or
in an area accessible only to qualified or authorised persons. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a dry, well
ventilated place away from sources of heat, ignition and direct sunlight.
7.3 Specific end use(s)

No specific advice for end use available.

suitable respiratory equipment. Respirator with a vapor filter.

EYE PROTECTION: Safety goggles. Tightly fitting safety goggles. Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN 166.
HAND PROTECTION: Gloves should be discarded and replaced if there is any indication of degradation or chemical
breakthrough. Rubber or plastic gloves. Take note of the information given by the producer concerning permeability and
break through times, and of special workplace conditions (mechanical strain, duration of contact). Long sleeved clothing.
Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Protective suit. Remove contaminated clothing and protective
equipment before entering eating areas.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: No Information
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: As a rule, at least 10 air changes per hour are recommended at the workplace. Avoid contact
