Page 2 of 9
 DUFLON 4F II FRESH

If not breathing, give artificial respiration, if breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Keep at rest.

SKIN CONTACT
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with large amounts of water and soap while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
If irritation persists, get medical attention.

EYE CONTACT
Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides.
Remove contact lens.
Obtain medical attention, preferably by an ophthalmologist, immediately.

INGESTION
DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Keep at rest. Get medical attention immediately.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

SUITABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

Alcohol - resistant foam, Carbon dioxide, or dry chemical type.

SPECIFIC HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL

Combustion products may include and are not limited to: Carbon monoxide and Carbon
dioxide.

SPECIAL PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR FIRE FIGHTERS

Wear full protective clothing and NIOSH - approved self - contained breathing apparatus.
Use water spray to cool fire - exposed surfaces and to protect personnel. If a leak or spill has
not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapours.
If possible, isolate product from heat, electrical equipments, sparks and open flames.
Avoid spraying water directly into storage containers.
Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat.
Avoid spreading burning liquid with water, isolate liquid.
Do not allow runoff from fire fighting to enter drains or watercourses.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURE

Wear appropriate protective equipment, e.g. respirators, eye protection, gloves and safety
shoes.
Avoid substance contact with eyes. Do not inhale vapours.
Ensure supply of fresh air in enclosed rooms.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Eliminate sources of ignition.
Keep public away.
Contain spilled liquid with sand or other non-combustible absorbent materials.
Wash area and prevent runoff into drains and sewerage system.
Advise authorities if substance has entered a watercourse or sewer or has contaminated soil
or vegetation.

METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENTS AND CLEANING UP

Page 3 of 9
 DUFLON 4F II FRESH

Clean up all spills immediately.

Absorb spill with absorbent and inert material, then place in container.
Disposal in accordance to local/national regulations.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING

Use appropriate personal protective equipment
Keep out of reach of children.
Handle containers with care. Open slowly in order to control possible pressure release.
Do not pressurize containers.
Do not ingest. Do not breathe in gas/fumes/vapour. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
For personal protection, see section 8.
Use only in areas from which all naked lights and other sources of ignition have been
excluded.
Take precautionary measures against static discharge
Protect from frost and extremes of temperature

CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILTIES

Keep containers tightly closed
Containers that are opened should be properly resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Store in cool, dry and well - ventilated place at temperature between 20°C to 40°C away from
heat and sources of ignition
