Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Eye contact: Immediately flush eye with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin contact: In case of contact remove contaminated clothing and immediately wash affetec areas with copious quantities of water and soap for at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomitin. Wash out mouth with water provided person in conscious. Call a physician.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
In case of fire use water spray, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide or appropriate foam.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: Do not breathe fumes. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure.
Environmental precautions: Prevent material from polluting the environment and from entering into the underground water system.
Spills/Leaks: Soak up with an inert absorbent material ( e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and dispose of as hazardous waste. Keep in suitable, closed containes for disposal. Ventilate area nad wash spill site after material pickup is complete. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipement section.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist.
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must
be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Contanis no substances with occupational exposure limit values.
Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Tightly fitting safety goggles. Faceshield (8-inch minimum). Use equipment for eye protection tested and
approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protection
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure as defined in EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
Body Protection
Appropriate protective clothing, overall
Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multipurpose
combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls.
If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and
components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Control of environmental exposure
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the
environment must be avoided.
Hygiene measures: Use good working practices. Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling. Safety shower and eye bath must be available. Do not breathe vapor. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure.
Stability and reactivity
Chemical stability
Stable under recommended storage conditions.
Conditions to avoid: heat, flmaes and sparks. Moisture sensitive.
Incompatibilites with other materials: strong oxidising agents, strong bases, acids, water, alcohols
Hazardous decomposition products: carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides
Hazardous polymerisation: data not available
Disposal considerations
Product
Burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber but exert extra care in igniting as this
material is highly flammable. Contact a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this material.
Contaminated packaging
Dispose of as unused product.
