Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

INHALATION

    Remove from further exposure.  For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others.  Use adequate respiratory protection.  If respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness occurs, seek immediate medical assistance.  If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device or use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

SKIN CONTACT

    Wash contact areas with soap and water.

EYE CONTACT

    Flush thoroughly with water.  If irritation occurs, get medical assistance.

INGESTION

    First aid is normally not required. Seek medical attention if discomfort occurs.

Fire-fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

    Appropriate Extinguishing Media:   Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.

   

    Inappropriate Extinguishing Media:   Straight Streams of Water

FIRE FIGHTING

    Fire Fighting Instructions:   Evacuate area.  Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers, or drinking water supply.  Firefighters should use standard protective equipment and in enclosed spaces, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).  Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel.

Accidental release measures

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES

    In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations.

SPILL MANAGEMENT

    Land Spill:   Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area).  Stop leak if you can do it without risk.  Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers.  Recover by pumping or with suitable absorbent.

   

    Water Spill:  Warn other shipping.   Remove from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents.   Seek advice of a specialist

    Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material; however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken.  For this reason, local experts should be consulted.  Note:  Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS

    Large Spills:  Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal.  Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.

Handling and storage

HANDLING

    Avoid contact with skin.  Use proper bonding and/or ground procedures.  However, bonding and grounds may not eliminate the hazard from static accumulation.  Provide adequate ventilation if fumes or vapors are generated. Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard.   DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight.  Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source).  When the material is handled in bulk, an electrical spark could ignite any flammable vapors from liquids or residues that may be present (e.g., during switch-loading operations).  Use proper bonding and/or ground procedures.  However, bonding and grounds may not eliminate the hazard from static accumulation.  Consult local applicable standards for guidance.  Additional references include American Petroleum Institute 2003 (Protection Against Ignitions Arising out of Static, Lightning and Stray Currents) or National Fire Protection Agency 77 (Recommended Practice on Static Electricity) or CENELEC CLC/TR 50404 (Electrostatics - Code of practice for the avoidance of hazards due to static electricity).

    Static Accumulator:    This material is a static accumulator.  A liquid is typically considered a nonconductive, static accumulator if its conductivity is below 100 pS/m (100x10-12 Siemens per meter) and is considered a semiconductive, static accumulator if its conductivity is below 1x104 pS/m.  Whether a liquid is nonconductive or semiconductive, the precautions are the same.  A number of factors, for example liquid temperature, presence of contaminants, anti-static additives and filtration can greatly influence the conductivity of a liquid.

STORAGE

    The container choice, for example storage vessel, may effect static accumulation and dissipation.  Do not store in open or unlabelled containers.  Keep container closed. Handle containers with care. Open slowly in order to control possible pressure release.  Store in a cool, well-ventilated area.
