______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: This material should not be used for any other purpose than the intended use in Section 1 without expert
advice. Health studies have shown that chemical exposure may cause potential human health risks which may vary
from person to person.
INHALATION
Remove from further exposure. For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others. Use
adequate respiratory protection. If respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness occurs, seek
immediate medical assistance. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device or use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
SKIN CONTACT
Wash contact areas with soap and water. If product is injected into or under the skin, or into any part of the
body, regardless of the appearance of the wound or its size, the individual should be evaluated immediately by
a physician as a surgical emergency. Even though initial symptoms from high pressure injection may be
minimal or absent, early surgical treatment within the first few hours may significantly reduce the ultimate extent
of injury.
EYE CONTACT
Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, get medical assistance.
INGESTION
First aid is normally not required. Seek medical attention if discomfort occurs.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Appropriate Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish
flames.
FIRE FIGHTING
Fire Fighting Instructions: Evacuate area. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering streams,
sewers, or drinking water supply. Firefighters should use standard protective equipment and in enclosed
spaces, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to
protect personnel.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Smoke, Fume, Aldehydes, Sulfur oxides, Incomplete combustion
products, Oxides of carbon

SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable
regulations. US regulations require reporting releases of this material to the environment which exceed the
applicable reportable quantity or oil spills which could reach any waterway including intermittent dry creeks. The
National Response Center can be reached at (800)424-8802.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. See Section 5 for fire fighting information. See the Hazard Identification
Section for Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8 for advice on the minimum
requirements for personal protective equipment. Additional protective measures may be necessary, depending
on the specific circumstances and/or the expert judgment of the emergency responders. For emergency
responders: Respiratory protection: respiratory protection will be necessary only in special cases, e.g.,
formation of mists. Half-face or full-face respirator with filter(s) for dust/organic vapor or Self Contained
Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) can be used depending on the size of spill and potential level of exposure. If the
exposure cannot be completely characterized or an oxygen deficient atmosphere is possible or anticipated,
SCBA is recommended. Work gloves that are resistant to hydrocarbons are recommended. Gloves made of
polyvinyl acetate (PVA) are not water-resistant and are not suitable for emergency use. Chemical goggles are
recommended if splashes or contact with eyes is possible. Small spills: normal antistatic work clothes are
usually adequate. Large spills: full body suit of chemical resistant, antistatic material is recommended.
SPILL MANAGEMENT
Land Spill: Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Recover by pumping or with suitable absorbent.
Water Spill: Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Confine the spill immediately with booms. Warn other
shipping. Remove from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents. Seek the advice of a specialist
before using dispersants.
Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material;
however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction
and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local experts should be
consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Large Spills: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Prevent entry into waterways,
sewers, basements or confined areas.
HANDLING
Avoid contact with used product. Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard. Material can
accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source). When the material is handled
in bulk, an electrical spark could ignite any flammable vapors from liquids or residues that may be present (e.g.,
during switch-loading operations). Use proper bonding and/or ground procedures. However, bonding and
grounds may not eliminate the hazard from static accumulation. Consult local applicable standards for
guidance. Additional references include American Petroleum Institute 2003 (Protection Against Ignitions
Arising out of Static, Lightning and Stray Currents) or National Fire Protection Agency 77 (Recommended
Practice on Static Electricity) or CENELEC CLC/TR 50404 (Electrostatics - Code of practice for the avoidance

of hazards due to static electricity).
STORAGE
The container choice, for example storage vessel, may effect static accumulation and dissipation. Do not store
in open or unlabelled containers.
Exposure limits/standards for materials that can be formed when handling this product: When mists/aerosols
can occur the following are recommended: 5 mg/m³ - ACGIH TLV (inhalable fraction), 5 mg/m³ - OSHA PEL.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions.
Control measures to consider:
No special requirements under ordinary conditions of use and with adequate ventilation.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protective equipment selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as applications,
handling practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of protective equipment for use
with this material, as provided below, is based upon intended, normal usage.
For high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in positive pressure mode.
Supplied air respirators with an escape bottle may be appropriate when oxygen levels are inadequate,
gas/vapor warning properties are poor, or if air purifying filter capacity/rating may be exceeded.
Hand Protection: Any specific glove information provided is based on published literature and glove
manufacturer data. Glove suitability and breakthrough time will differ depending on the specific use conditions.
Contact the glove manufacturer for specific advice on glove selection and breakthrough times for your use
conditions. Inspect and replace worn or damaged gloves. The types of gloves to be considered for this material
include:
No protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use.
Eye Protection: If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
