4. First-aid measures
Inhalation Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a poison
center or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
Skin contact Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Eye contact Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Ingestion Rinse mouth. Do not feed anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsive victim. Get medical
attention if symptoms occur. Do not induce vomiting.

General information If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible). Ensure that medical
personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Unsuitable extinguishing Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Special protective equipment Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure
and precautions for firefighters demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask.
Fire fighting In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Use standard firefighting procedures and
equipment/instructions consider the hazards of other involved materials. Cool containers / tanks with water spray.
Specific methods Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
General fire hazards No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear
protective equipment and appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Avoid breathing mist/vapor. Do not
emergency procedures touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be
contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is
containment and cleaning up possible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following product
recovery, flush area with water.

Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions Water contaminated with this product may be sent to a sanitary sewer treatment facility, or a
permitted waste treatment facility, in accordance with any local agreements. Avoid discharge into
drains, water courses or onto the ground.

7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling Avoid contact with eyes. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Use care in handling/storage.
Conditions for safe storage, Store locked up. Store in tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see
including any incompatibilities Section 10 of the SDS). Store in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulation.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Occupational exposure limits This mixture has no ingredients that have PEL, TLV, or other recommended exposure limit.
Material name: CORRSHIELD* BT4301 Page: 2 / 7
Version number: 6.1
Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Appropriate engineering Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
controls should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Provide
eyewash station.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).

Skin protection
Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. The choice of an appropriate glove does not only
depend on its material but also on other quality features and is different from one producer to the
other. Glove selection must take into account any solvents and other hazards present.
Other Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory protection If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure
limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not
been established), an approved respirator must be worn. A respiratory protection program that
meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.34 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever
workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.

General hygiene Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material
considerations and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective
equipment to remove contaminants.
