Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Keep victim under observation.

Symptoms may be delayed.

General information

Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Contact with combustible material may cause fire.

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. Wash

contaminated clothing before reuse.

SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable extinguishing media

Water. Water fog.

Unsuitable extinguishing media

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Specific hazards arising from the chemical

Greatly increases the burning rate of combustible materials. Containers may explode when heated.

During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.

Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters

Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.

Fire fighting equipment/instructions

In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Move containers from fire area if you can do so

without risk. Use water spray to cool unopened containers.

Specific methods

Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out.

General fire hazards

May intensify fire; oxidizer. Contact with combustible material may cause fire.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of low

areas. Keep away from clothing and other combustible materials. Wear appropriate protective

equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not 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 containment and cleaning up

Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Keep

combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. Ventilate the contaminated area.

Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk.

Large Spills: Wet down with water and dike for later disposal. Shovel the material into waste container.

Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or

confined areas. Following product recovery, flush area with water.

Small Spills: Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.

Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up.

Environmental precautions

Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling

Keep away from heat. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Routine housekeeping should be

instituted to ensure that dusts do not accumulate on surfaces. Keep away from clothing and other

combustible materials. Take any precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles. Avoid contact with

eyes, skin, and clothing. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective

equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Store locked up. Keep away from heat. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Store in original

tightly closed container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Do not store near combustible materials.

Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Occupational exposure limits

No exposure limits noted for ingredient(s).

Biological limit values

No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).

Appropriate engineering controls

Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates 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. Eye wash facilities

and emergency shower must be available when handling this product.

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. Suitable gloves can be recommended

by the glove supplier. Frequent change is advisable

Other: Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing.

Respiratory protection

In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.

Thermal hazards

Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.

General hygiene considerations

Keep from contact with clothing and other combustible materials. Remove and wash contaminated

clothing promptly. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling

the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective

equipment to remove contaminants.
