4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Inhalation If breathing is difficult, remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
For breathing difficulties, oxygen may be necessary. Call a physician if symptoms develop or
persist.
Skin contact Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation develops and

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media Water spray, fog, CO2, dry chemical, or alcohol resistant foam.
Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Specific hazards arising from Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
the chemical
Special protective equipment Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with
and precautions for firefighters face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA. Structural firefighters protective
clothing will only provide limited protection. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus with a full
facepiece operated in the positive pressure demand mode when fighting fires.
Fire fighting In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Use standard firefighting procedures and
equipment/instructions consider the hazards of other involved materials. Move containers from fire area if you can do so
without risk. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Ventilate closed spaces before
entering them. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Dike for water control.
Specific methods Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
General fire hazards Static charges generated by emptying package in or near flammable vapor may cause flash fire.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective Eliminate all sources of ignition. Avoid contact with skin or inhalation of spillage, dust or vapor.
equipment and emergency Keep unnecessary personnel away. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless

Methods and materials for Collect and dispose of spillage as indicated in section 13 of the SDS.
containment and cleaning up
Absorb with inert absorbent such as dry clay, sand or diatomaceous earth, commercial sorbents,
or recover using pumps.

The product is immiscible with water and will spread on the water surface.

Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible.

Never return spills in original containers for re-use. This material and its container must be
disposed of as hazardous waste. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or
flames in immediate area). Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in
immediate area). Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. The
product is immiscible with water and will spread on the water surface. Prevent product from
entering drains.

Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is
possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Use a non-combustible material like
vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product and place into a container for later disposal.

Small Spills: Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers
for later disposal. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use.

Environmental precautions Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water. Avoid release to the environment. Contact local
authorities in case of spillage to drain/aquatic environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if
safe to do so. Do not contaminate water.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling Do not handle or store near an open flame, heat or other sources of ignition. Take precautionary
measures against static discharges. All equipment used when handling the product must be
grounded. Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged
exposure. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Conditions for safe storage, Keep container closed. Handle containers with care. Open slowly in order to control possible
including any incompatibilities pressure release. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Occupational exposure limits This substance has no PEL, TLV, or other recommended exposure limit.
Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Appropriate engineering controls Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment to stay below exposure limits. Adequate ventilation
should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).

Skin protection
Hand protection Chemical resistant gloves.

Other Wear suitable protective clothing.
