Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Inhalation (Breathing):

Move exposed person to fresh air. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt, or waistband. Get medical attention immediately.

Skin:

In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.

Eyes:

Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical attention immediately.

Ingestion (Swallowing):

DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If conscious, rinse out mouth with water. Get medical attention immediately.

Note to Physicians:

There is no specific antidote. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and clinical conditions. A serious potential effect is aspiration pneumonitis, which may lead to noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. The patient should be observed for signs of lung injury if aspiration is suspected.

Fire-fighting measures

Flammable Properties: Static accumulating liquid

Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, CO2, water spray (FOG), or foam

Specific Hazards Arising from Chemical: Elevated temperatures can lead to the formation of irritating fumes and vapors. Decomposition products may include the following materials: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons.

Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters: Firefighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Accidental release measures

Personal Precautions:

No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Shut off all ignition sources. No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.

Environmental Precautions:

Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, . Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution.

Methods for Containment: Stop leak if without risk.

Methods for Cleanup: Move containers from spill area. Approach release from upwind. Absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Handling and storage

Handling Procedures: Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Use non-sparking tools.

Shipping and Storing Procedures: Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep in the original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and

equipment before transferring material. Empty containers that retain product residue may be hazardous. Do not reuse container.

Warnings: Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Contains petroleum distillates. Avoid eye contact. Avoid contact with skin or clothing. Avoid breathing vapors. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after use. Combustible liquid. Keep container away from heat, sparks, flames and other sources of ignition. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry area away from heat, oxidizers and all other sources of ignition. Empty containers retain product residue. Do not reuse empty containers.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Recommended monitoring procedures:

If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment. Reference should be made to European Standard EN 689 for methods for the assessment of exposure by inhalation to chemical agents and national guidance documents for methods for the determination of hazardous substances.

Exposure controls:

Occupational exposure controls: No special ventilation requirements. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure below any recommended or statutory limits.

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.

Respiratory protection: Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator. Recommended: Appropriate breathing apparatus may be required.

Hand protection: Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. >8 hours (breakthrough time): natural rubber (latex).

Eye protection: Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists or dusts. Recommended: safety glasses with side-shields.

Skin protection: 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.

Environmental exposure controls: Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure 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.

Remark : The penetration-time of the recommended gloves depend not only on the material. Also other factors may have influence on the penetration-time , as the thickness of them or the specific use or conditions (temperature). In any case, certificate materials (for example following EN 374) should be selected. Please ask your supplier, if the gloves are suitable for the intended use.

Stability and reactivity

Stability: Stable under normal conditions.

Polymerization: No polymerization.

Incompatibility: Strong acids and oxidizing materials.

Conditions to Avoid: High temperatures can cause flash fire.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, and other products of incomplete combustion.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods
