First-aid measures

Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.

Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical attention if adverse health effects persist or are severe. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.

Skin contact: Wash contaminated skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.

Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If material has been swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention if adverse health effects persist or are severe. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

Protection of first-aiders: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Hazards from the substance or mixture: In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst. This material may cause long lasting harmful effects to aquatic life. Fire water contaminated with this material must be contained and prevented from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or drain.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters


Occupational exposure limits: No exposure limit value known.


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 monitoring standards, such as the following: European Standard EN 689 (Workplace atmospheres - Guidance for the assessment of exposure by inhalation to chemical agents for comparison with limit values and measurement strategy) European Standard EN 14042 (Workplace atmospheres - Guide for the application and use of procedures for the assessment
of exposure to chemical and biological agents) European Standard EN 482 (Workplace atmospheres - General requirements for the performance of procedures for the measurement of chemical agents) Reference to national guidance documents for methods for the determination of hazardous substances will also be required.


 


Exposure controls


Appropriate engineering controls: Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne
contaminants.


 


Individual protection measures


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.


Eye/face 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, gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: safety glasses with
side-shields. Recommended: splash goggles.


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. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It
should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately
estimated.


Body 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: lab coat.


Other skin protection: Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product.


Respiratory protection: Based on the hazard and potential for exposure, select a respirator that meets the appropriate standard or certification. Respirators must be used according to a respiratory protection program to ensure proper fitting, training, and other important aspects of use.


 


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.


 


Respiratory Protection Statement:
When used in metal working fluid (MWF) formulations where liquid aerosol concentrations (“oil mist”) may be
generated and detected in accordance with NIOSH analytical method 5524, or any other application where liquid
aerosol concentrations may be generated and detected in accordance with NIOSH Method 5026, one of the following
types of respirators may be necessary:



- An oil proof (class P) air-purifying, half mask respirator capable to filtering 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns or larger
when aerosol (“oil mist”) concentrations are 5.0 mg/m3 (total particulate mass) or less;
- a supplied-air respirator operated in a continuous-flow mode when aerosol (“oil mist”) concentrations are 12.5 mg/m3
(total particulate mass) or less; - a powered, air-purifying respirator with an oil proof (class P) high-efficiency particulate
filter when aerosol (“oil mist”) concentrations are 12.5 mg/m3 (total particulate mass) or less;
- an air-purifying, full-facepiece respirator with an oil proof (class P) filter capable to filtering 99.97% of particles 0.3
microns or larger when aerosol (“oil mist”) concentrations are 25.0 mg/m3 (total particulate mass) or less; or
- a supplied-air respirator operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.



Appropriate respiratory equipment depends on conditions of work and use. Consult a safety professional for processspecific guidance. Safety procedures should be developed for each intended application.


 


Dermal Protection Statement:
Hand Protection
When used in metal working fluids, and / or when cleaning up spills, or if there is a risk of splashing, use nitrile rubber
gloves to avoid direct skin contact.



Breakthrough time:
Breakthrough time data are generated by glove manufacturers under laboratory test conditions and represent how long
a glove can be expected to provide effective permeation resistance. It is important when following breakthrough time
recommendations that actual workplace conditions are considered. Most gloves provide protection for only a limited
time before they must be discarded and replaced because they will break through after repeated use Always consult
with your glove supplier for up-to-date technical information on breakthrough times for the recommended glove type.
Recommendations on the selection of gloves are as follows:


Continuous contact:
Gloves with a minimum breakthrough time of 240 minutes, or >480 minutes if suitable gloves can be obtained. If
suitable gloves are not available to offer that level of protection, gloves with shorter breakthrough times may be
acceptable as long as appropriate glove maintenance and replacement regimes are determined and adhered to.


Short-term / splash protection:
Recommended breakthrough times as above.
It is recognized that for short-term, transient exposures, gloves with shorter breakthrough times may commonly be
used. Therefore, appropriate maintenance and replacement regimes must be determined and rigorously followed.


Glove Thickness:
For general applications, gloves with a thickness typically greater than 0.35 mm are recommended.


 


It should be emphasized that glove thickness is not necessarily a good predictor of glove resistance to a specific chemical, as the permeation efficiency of the glove will be dependent on the exact composition of the glove material. Therefore, glove selection should also be based on consideration of the task requirements and knowledge of breakthrough times. Glove thickness may also vary depending on the glove manufacturer, the glove type and the glove model. Therefore, the manufacturers’ technical data should always be considered to ensure selection of the most appropriate glove for the task.Note: Depending on the activity being conducted, gloves of varying thickness may be required for specific tasks. For example:



- Thinner gloves (down to 0.1 mm or less) may be required where a high degree of manual dexterity is needed.
However, these gloves are only likely to give short duration protection and would normally be just for single use
applications, then disposed of.
- Thicker gloves (up to 3 mm or more) may be required where there is a mechanical (as well as a chemical) risk i.e.
where there is abrasion or puncture potential.



Skin and Body
When used in metal working fluids, nitrile rubber coated aprons and/or impervious nitrile rubber coated suits and boots
should be used.



Breakthrough time:
Breakthrough time data are generated by protective clothing manufacturers under laboratory test conditions and
represent how long a garment can be expected to provide effective permeation resistance. It is important when
following breakthrough time recommendations that actual workplace conditions are considered. Most protective
clothing provides protection for only a limited time before it must be discarded and replaced because it will break down
after repeated chemical exposures. Always consult with your protective clothing supplier for up-to-date technical
information on breakthrough times for the recommended protective clothing type.



Recommendations on the selection of protective clothing are as follows:
Continuous contact:
Protective clothing with a minimum breakthrough time of 240 minutes, or >480 minutes if suitable clothing can be
obtained. If suitable clothing is not available to offer that level of protection, clothing with shorter breakthrough times
may be acceptable as long as appropriate clothing maintenance and replacement regimes are determined and
adhered to.



Short-term / splash protection:
Recommended breakthrough times as above.
It is recognized that for short-term, transient exposures, clothing with shorter breakthrough times may commonly be
used. Therefore, appropriate maintenance and replacement regimes must be determined and rigorously followed.


Clothing Thickness:
For general applications, clothing with a thickness typically greater than 0.35 mm is recommended.
Clothing thickness is not necessarily a good predictor of clothing resistance to a specific chemical, as the permeation
efficiency of the clothing will be dependent on the composition of the material. Selection should also be based on
consideration of the task and knowledge of breakthrough times. Thickness may also vary depending on the
manufacturer, type and model. The manufacturers’ technical data should always be considered to ensure selection of
the most appropriate clothing for the task.


Note: Depending on the activity being conducted, clothing of varying thickness may be required for specific tasks. For
example:



- Thinner clothing (down to 0.1 mm or less) may be required where a high degree of mobility is needed. However,
these types of clothing are only likely to give short duration protection and would normally be just for single use
applications, then disposed of.
- Thicker clothing (up to 3 mm or more) may be required where there is a mechanical (as well as a chemical) risk i.e.
where there is abrasion or puncture potential.

with side shields or splash resistant goggles.


General Information:
Specific work environments and material handling practices may vary. Safety procedures should be developed for
each application. The correct choice of personal protective equipment (PPE) depends upon the chemicals being
handled, and the conditions of work and use.



Personal protective equipment should conform to appropriate standards, be suitable for use, be kept in good condition
and properly maintained.



Your supplier of personal protective equipment should be consulted for advice on selection and appropriate standards.
For further information contact your national organization for standards.



The final choice of protective equipment will depend upon a risk assessment. It is important to ensure that all items of
personal protective equipment are compatible.



Engineering Controls:
When used in metal working fluids, or any other application where liquid aerosol concentrations (“oil mist”) may be
generated, provide local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the liquid aerosol concentrations (“oil
mist”) below applicable occupational exposure limits.



All activities involving chemicals should be assessed for their risks to health, to ensure exposures are adequately
controlled. Personal protective equipment should only be considered after other forms of control measures (e.g.
engineering controls) have been suitably evaluated.
