First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

Skin

Wash with soap and water for 20 minutes or until chemical is removed. Remove contaminated clothing. If skin irritation occurs, get medical attention. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.

Eyes

Rinse cautiously with water for 30 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Get medical attention if eye irritation develops or persists. If eye irritation persists, get medical attention.

Inhaled

Remove exposed person to fresh air if adverse effects are observed. If breathing is labored, administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped, apply artificial respiration. If experiencing respiratory symptoms call a poison center or doctor.

Swallowed

Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to a person who is losing consciousness, unconscious or convulsing. Call a poison center or doctor if exposed or you feel unwell.

Advice for first-aid providers

When providing first aid always protect yourself against exposure to chemicals or blood born diseases by wearing gloves, masks and eye protection. If providing CPR use mouthpieces, resuscitation bags, pocket masks or other ventilation devices. After providing first aid wash your exposed skin with soap and water.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

See section “Toxicological Information”.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Note to physician: Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media

CO2, dry chemical, or foam. Water can be used to cool and protect exposed material.

Special hazards arising from substance or mixture

Burning may produce irritating, toxic and obnoxious fumes. Container may rupture in a fire situation. DO NOT USE a solid stream of water. See section 10 for additional information.

Advice for firefighters

Wear full protective firegear including self-containing breathing apparatus operated in the positive pressure mode with full facepiece, coat, pants, gloves and boots. Do not direct a solid stream of water on spilled material. Use flooding amounts of water as a fog. Use water to cool containers exposed to fire. Do not release chemically contaminated water into drains, soil or surface water.

Accidental release measures

Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Only trained personnel should be permitted in area. Personal protective equipment must be worn. Ventilate area if spilled in a confined space or other poorly ventilated area. Material on floor may be slippery.

Environmental precautions

Do not flush into surface water, sanitary sewer or ground water system.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Pick up free liquid for recycle and/or disposal. Pump any free liquid into an appropriate closed container. Residual liquid can be absorbed on inert material. Wash spill area with soap and water.

Reference to other sections

See sections “Exposure Controls/Personal Protection” and “Toxicological Information” for additional information.

Handling and storage

Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling

Use with adequate ventilation. Keep containers closed when not in use. Avoid eye contact. Avoid repeated or prolonged skin contact. When handling, do not eat, drink, or smoke Avoid drinking, tasting, swallowing or ingesting this product. Avoid breathing dust, fume, gas, mist, vapors or spray. Use grounding and bonding connection when transferring material to prevent static discharge, fire and explosion. Use spark-resistant tools. Wash thoroughly after handling. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Do not reuse empty containers. Empty containers retain material residue. Do not cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose containers to heat, flame, spark or other sources of ignition. Dispose of packaging or containers in accordance with local, regional, national and international regulations.

Pumping Temperature

Not determined.

Maximum Handling Temperature

70 °C, 158 °F

Maximum Loading Temperature

Not determined.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store separately from incompatible materials. Keep container tightly closed. Do not store in open, unlabeled or mislabeled containers. See section 10 for incompatible materials.

Maximum Storage Temperature

45 °C, 113 °F

Specific end use(s)

End uses are listed in an attached exposure scenario when one is required.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Control parameters

None known.

Other Exposure Limits

Contains mineral oil. Under conditions which may generate mists, observe the OSHA PEL of 5 mg per cubic meter, ACGIH TWA of 5 mg per cubic meter.

Exposure controls

If use generates a mist or vapor, local exhaust ventilation is recommended. Additional ventilation or exhaust may be required to maintain air concentrations below recommended exposure limits.

Eye/face protection

Safety glasses. If potential for splash or mist exists, wear chemical goggles or faceshield.

Skin protection

Nitrile. Consult clothing/glove manufacturer to determine appropriate type of glove for given situation. Gloves should always be inspected before each use and discarded if they show tears, pinholes, or signs of wear. Use good industrial hygiene practices to avoid skin contact. If contact with the material may occur wear chemically protective gloves.

Long sleeve shirt is recommended. Do not wear rings, watches or similar apparel that could entrap the material and cause a skin reaction. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.

Respiratory Protection

Use respirator with a combination organic vapor and high efficiency filter cartridge if recommended exposure limit is exceeded. Use self-contained breathing apparatus for entry into confined space, for other poorly ventilated areas and for large spill clean-up sites.

Hygiene Measures

Wash thoroughly after handling this product. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.

Environmental exposure controls

See section “Accidental Release Measures” for details.

Stability and reactivity

Stability and Reactivity

Reactivity

Carefully review all information provided in the following sections.

Chemical stability

Material is normally stable at moderately elevated temperatures and pressures.

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Will not occur.

Conditions to avoid

Do not expose to excessive heat, ignition sources, or oxidizing materials.

Incompatible materials

Acids. Oxidizing agents.

Hazardous decomposition products

Smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, aldehydes and other products of incomplete combustion. Under combustion conditions, oxides of the following elements will be formed: magnesium, sulfur.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

All disposal practices must be in accordance with local, regional, national and international regulations.

Empty container retains product residue and can be hazardous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. Dispose of packaging or containers in accordance with local, regional, national and international regulations.
