Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Gneral advice:

This product can cause chemical pneumonitis which may be fatal.

Inhalation Exposure:

If inhaled, move to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

Consult a physician.

Skin Exposure:

In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water. Consult a physician.

Eye Exposure:

In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes as a precaution.

Oral Exposure:

If swallowed; do not induce vomiting. Wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Call a physician.

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed: If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible)

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment, if necessary: If the person is unconscious immediately call 112. Never give

anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:

Suitable:

For smaller fires use:

Foam

Carbon Dioxide

Dry Chemical Powder

For Larger fires use:

From a distance use very large quantites of misted water (flooding).

Unsuitable:

Unknown

Specific hazards arising from the chemical: Sealed containers may build up pressure under heat (fire).

Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and PPE for skin and eyes.

Further information: Use flooding water to cool unopened containers. The vapor is heavier than air, spreads along the ground and distant iginition is

possible. May form flammable/explosive vapor-like mixture. Will float and can be reignited on surface of water. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

Accidental release measures

Personal Precautions, Protective equipment, and emergency procedures:

Exercise appropriate precautions to minimize direct contact

with skin or eyes and prevent inhalation of vapors, mist or gas. Wear respirator, chemical safety goggles, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves.

Remove all sources of ignition. Beware of vapors accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in

lower areas.

Environmental precautions:

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

Contain spillage and ventilate.

Collect with a properly grounded dedicated wet vacuum and place in container for waste disposal (see company waste SOP)

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Do not breathe vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure.

No smoking! Avoid any electrostatic charges. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Contaminated rags and

cloths must be put in fireproof containers for disposal.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat and open flame. Store

container(s) in a cool & dry place.
