attention immediately.

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

See Section 11 for more detailed information on health effects and symptoms.
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Notes to physician Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach
contents, and can cause severe and potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which
will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction of vomiting
and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only
after endotracheal intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.

Note: High Pressure Applications

Injections through the skin resulting from contact with the product at high pressure
constitute a major medical emergency. Injuries may not appear serious at first but
within a few hours tissue becomes swollen, discoloured and extremely painful with
extensive subcutaneous necrosis.
Surgical exploration should be undertaken without delay. Thorough and extensive
debridement of the wound and underlying tissue is necessary to minimise tissue
loss and prevent or limit permanent damage. Note that high pressure may force the
product considerable distances along tissue planes.
Specific treatments No specific treatment.
Protection of first-aiders No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. If it
is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate
mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. It may be dangerous to the person
providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Section 6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency Immediately contact emergency personnel. No action shall be taken involving any
personnel personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk
through spilt material. No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing
vapour or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Put on appropriate personal
protective equipment. Floors may be slippery; use care to avoid falling. Eliminate
all ignition sources.
For emergency responders Entry into a confined space or poorly ventilated area contaminated with vapour, mist
or fume is extremely hazardous without the correct respiratory protective equipment
and a safe system of work. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear a
suitable chemical protective suit. Chemical resistant boots. See also the
information in "For non-emergency personnel".

Environmental precautions Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. May be harmful
to the environment if released in large quantities.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Small spill Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill
area. Absorb with an inert material and place in an appropriate waste disposal
container. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor. The method and equipment used must be in
conformance with appropriate regulations and industry practice on explosive
atmospheres.
Large spill Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill
area. Approach the release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses,
basements or confined areas. Dike spill area and do not allow product to reach
sewage system and surface or ground water. Contain and collect spillage with non-
combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth
and place in container for disposal according to local regulations. Use spark-proof
tools and explosion-proof equipment. Contaminated absorbent material may pose
the same hazard as the spilt product. The method and equipment used must be in
conformance with appropriate regulations and industry practice on explosive
atmospheres. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Section 7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Do not get in
eyes or on skin or clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate
respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Avoid contact of spilt material and runoff
with soil and surface waterways. Empty containers retain product residue and can
be hazardous. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from
a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Do not reuse container.
Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. Use
explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment.

Section 7. Handling and storage
obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions
have been read and understood. Do not swallow. Aspiration hazard if swallowed.
Can enter lungs and cause damage. Never siphon by mouth.
Advice on general Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
occupational hygiene handled, stored and processed. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove
contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. See
also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.

Conditions for safe storage, Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved
including any area. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-
incompatibilities ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and
drink. Store locked up. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidising
materials. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Store and
use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product. Containers
that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent
leakage. Do not store in unlabelled containers. Use appropriate containment to
avoid environmental contamination.

Take precautions to avoid static electrical discharge and all ignition sources during
filling, ullaging and sampling from storage tanks. Do not enter storage tanks. If entry
to vessels is necessary, follow permit to work procedures. When the product is
pumped (e.g. during filling, discharge or ullaging) and when sampling, there is a risk
of static discharge. Ensure equipment used is properly earthed or bonded to the
tank structure. Use of explosion-protected electrical, ventilating, lighting and all
material-handling equipment should be considered. Explosive air/vapour mixtures
may form at ambient temperatures on contact with hot surfaces. Keep away from
heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources.

Product contaminated rags, paper or material used to absorb spillages, represent a

fire hazard, and should not be allowed to accumulate. Dispose of safely immediately
after use. Entry into a confined space or poorly ventilated area contaminated with
vapour, mist or fume is extremely hazardous without the correct respiratory
protective equipment and a safe system of work.

Section 8. Exposure controls and personal protection
organisation for standards.
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant
airborne concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits.
The final choice of protective equipment will depend upon a risk assessment. It is
important to ensure that all items of personal protective equipment are compatible.
Environmental exposure Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process
equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Individual protection measures

Hygiene measures Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and
safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection Chemical splash goggles.
Skin protection
Hand protection Wear chemical resistant gloves.

Protective gloves must give suitable protection against mechanical risks (i.e.
abrasion, blade cut and puncture). Protective gloves will deteriorate over time due
to physical and chemical damage. Inspect and replace gloves on a regular basis.
The frequency of replacement will depend upon the circumstances of use.
Recommended: Nitrile gloves.
Skin protection Use of protective clothing is good industrial practice.
Cotton or polyester/cotton overalls will only provide protection against light
superficial contamination that will not soak through to the skin. Overalls should be
laundered on a regular basis. When the risk of skin exposure is high (e.g. when
cleaning up spillages or if there is a risk of splashing) then chemical resistant aprons
and/or impervious chemical suits and boots will be required.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
Footwear highly resistant to chemicals.
When there is a risk of ignition from static electricity, wear anti-static protective
clothing. For greatest effectiveness against static electricity, overalls, boots and
gloves should all be anti-static.
When there is a risk of ignition wear inherently fire resistant protective clothes and
gloves.
Work clothing / overalls should be laundered on a regular basis. Laundering of
contaminated work clothing should only be done by professional cleaners who have
been told about the hazards of the contamination. Always keep contaminated work
clothing away from uncontaminated work clothing and uncontaminated personal
clothes.
When the risk of skin exposure is high (from experience this could apply to the
following tasks: cleaning work, maintenance and service, filling and transfer, taking
samples and cleaning up spillages) then a chemical protective suit and boots will be
required.
Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task
being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist
before handling this product.
Recommended: overall
Other skin protection Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be
selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be
approved by a specialist before handling this product.

Section 8. Exposure controls and personal protection
Respiratory protection Use with adequate ventilation.
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
If there is a requirement for the use of a respiratory protective device, but the use of
breathing apparatus (independent of ambient atmosphere) is not required, then a
suitable filtering device must be worn.
The filter class must be suitable for the maximum contaminant concentration (gas/
vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product.
The correct choice of respiratory protection depends upon the chemicals being
handled, the conditions of work and use, and the condition of the respiratory
equipment. Safety procedures should be developed for each intended application.
Respiratory protection equipment should therefore be chosen in consultation with
the supplier/manufacturer and with a full assessment of the working conditions.
Recommended: If ventilation is inadequate, use respirator that will protect against
organic vapour and dust/mist.
