Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove from source of exposure. If breathing becomes

difficult give artificial respiration and seek urgent

medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse eye for at least 15 minutes with water or saline

solution, holding the eye open. Seek medical advice.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash affected area thoroughly with water for at least 15

minutes. Remove contaminated clothing as washing proceeds.

Contaminated clothing should be washed or dry-cleaned before

re-use. Obtain medical attention if irritation develops.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Use fire-fighting measures suitable for the environment.

Product arising from burning: Oxides of carbon

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to

the relevant national or international standards as

mentioned in section 2.3.10.

Avoid dust formation by damping down with water. Absorb

spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material (eg

sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste

containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.

Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in

the same way as the original containers.

Clean the spillage area with water and detergent.

Dispose of waste material by incineration or landfill in

accordance with local regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used in

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.

Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the

substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled

appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate

international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374

Chemical resistant clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166

When necessary appropriate respiratory protection should be

used. e.g. a dust mask conforming to EN149 FFP 1S

The standards mentioned above should be regarded as a

minimum.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark, well-ventilated area.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Keep away from humidity and UV light.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The preparation is supplied in either one gallon or quart

bottles. The bottles are packaged inside cardoard boxes for

shipping.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance is used in very small quantities in

photoresist and is decomposed when used. Discharge to the

environment will be minimal. Recovery from minor spillages

or accidental discharge is not economically or technically

feasible, and such waste material will be disposed of by

incineration or landfill. In principle, it may be possible

to recover larger spillages of uncontaminated material for

subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is not

considered hazardous to health.

The substance is imported as a solution and so exposure to

the dust is therefore minimised.

The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate storage and

handling techniques.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with

inert material (eg sand or soil) may be disposed of by

landfill at an authorised tip in accordance with local

regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment

processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases

should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg carbon oxides)

could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly to

the sewage system or the aqueous environment. However,

adverse effects on sewage treatment systems would be

unlikely.
