4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
General advice : Not expected to be a health hazard when used under normal
conditions.
In case of skin contact : Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with
water and follow by washing with soap if available.
If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.
Most important symptoms : Breathing of high vapour concentrations may cause central
and effects, both acute and nervous system (CNS) depression resulting in dizziness, light-
delayed headedness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination.
Continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness and
death.
No specific hazards under normal use conditions.
Skin irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning
sensation, redness, or swelling.
Eye irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning
sensation, redness, swelling, and/or blurred vision.

Protection of first-aiders : When administering first aid, ensure that you are wearing the
appropriate personal protective equipment according to the
incident, injury and surroundings.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media : Alcohol-resistant foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical
powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small
fires only.
Specific hazards during : The vapour is heavier than air, spreads along the ground and
firefighting distant ignition is possible.
Carbon monoxide may be evolved if incomplete combustion
occurs.

Environmental precautions : Shut off leaks, if possible without personal risks. Remove all
possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area. Use
appropriate containment to avoid environmental
contamination. Prevent from spreading or entering drains,
ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other appropriate
barriers. Attempt to disperse the vapour or to direct its flow to
a safe location for example by using fog sprays. Take
precautionary measures against static discharge. Ensure
electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all
equipment.
Ventilate contaminated area thoroughly.
Monitor area with combustible gas indicator.
Methods and materials for : For large liquid spills (> 1 drum), transfer by mechanical
containment and cleaning up means such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank for recovery or
safe disposal. Do not flush away residues with water. Retain
as contaminated waste. Allow residues to evaporate or soak
up with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of
safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely
For small liquid spills (< 1 drum), transfer by mechanical
means to a labeled, sealable container for product recovery or
safe disposal. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an
appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove
contaminated soil and dispose of safely.
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
Section 8 of this Safety Data Sheet.
Use the information in this data sheet as input to a risk
assessment of local circumstances to help determine
appropriate controls for safe handling, storage and disposal of
this material.
Ensure that all local regulations regarding handling and
storage facilities are followed.
Advice on safe handling : Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Use local exhaust ventilation if there is risk of inhalation of
vapours, mists or aerosols.
Bulk storage tanks should be diked (bunded).

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.

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. Longer term protection: Butyl
rubber. Nitrile rubber. Incidental contact/Splash protection:
PVC or neoprene rubber gloves. 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. Glove thickness should be
typically greater than 0.35 mm depending on the glove make
and model. 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-perfumed moisturizer is recommended.
