4. First aid measures

4.1. Description of first aid measures


EYES: Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical advice.
SKIN: Wash immediately with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. If irritation persists,
seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before using them again.
INHALATION: Remove to open air. If breathing is irregular, seek medical advice.
INGESTION: Obtain immediate medical attention. Induce vomiting only if indicated by the doctor.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
For symptoms and effects caused by the contained substances see chap. 11

4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Follow doctor's orders

5. Firefighting measures

5.1. Extinguishing media


SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
The extinction equipment should contain carbon dioxide, foam or chemical powders. For product
leaks and spills that have not caught fire, nebulised water can be used to dispel flammable fumes and
protect the individuals taking part in stemming the leak.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA WHICH SHALL NOT BE USED FOR SAFETY REASONS
Do not use jets of water. Water is not effective for putting out fires but can be used to cool containers
exposed to flames to prevent explosions.

5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture


HAZARDS CAUSED BY EXPOSURE IN THE EVENT OF FIRE
Excess pressure may form in containers exposed to fire at a risk of explosion.
Do not breathe combustion products (carbon oxide, toxic pyrolysis products, etc).

5.3. Advice for firefighters


GENERAL INFORMATION
Use jets of water to cool the containers to prevent product decomposition and the development of
substances potentially hazardous for health. Always wear full fire prevention gear. Collect
extinguishing water to prevent it from draining into the sewer system. Dispose of contaminated water
and the remains of the fire according to applicable regulations.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS
Hardhat with visor, fireproof clothing (fireproof jacket and trousers with ties around arms, legs and
waist) work gloves (fireproof, cut proof and dielectric), self-respirator (self-protector).

6. Accidental release measures

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures


Eliminate sources of ignition (cigarettes, flames, sparks, etc.) from the air in which the leak occurred.
If there are no contraindications, spray solid products with water to prevent the formation of dust. Use
breathing equipment if fumes or powders are released into the air. Block the leakage if there is no
hazard. Do not handle damaged containers or leaked product before donning appropriate protective
gear. Send away individuals who are not suitably equipped. For information on risks for the
environmental and health, respiratory tract protection, ventilation and personal protection equipment,
refer to the other sections of this sheet.

6.2. Environmental precautions


The product must not penetrate the sewers, surface water, ground water and neighbouring areas.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up


For liquid products, suck into a suitable container (made of material not incompatible with the
product) and soak up any leaked product with absorbent inert material (sand, vermiculite, diatomeous
earth, Kieselguhr, etc). Collect the majority of the remaining material and deposit in containers for
disposal. For solid products, use spark proof mechanical tools to collect the leaked product and place
in plastic containers. If there are no contraindications, use jets of water to eliminate product residues.
Make sure the leakage site is well aired. Contaminated material should be disposed of in compliance
with the provisions set forth in point 13.

6.4. Reference to other sections


Any information on personal protection and disposal is given in sections 8 and 13.

7. Handling and storage

7.1. Precautions for safe handling


Avoid the accumulation of electrostatic charges.
Vapours may ignite with explosion, it is therefore necessary to avoid accumulation keeping the
windows and doors open, ensuring crossventilation. Without adequate ventilation, the vapours may
accumulate at the bottom and ignite at a distance, if triggered off, with the risk of flashback. Keep far
away from sources of heat, sparks and bright flames.
Do not smoke, use matches or lighters. Keep the containers earthed while decanting and wear ntistatic
boots.
Vigorous stirring and flow through the pipings and equipment may cause the formation and
ccumulation of electrostatic charges due to the low conductivity of the product. In order to avoid the
risk of fire outbreak and explosion never use compressed air during movement.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Store the containers sealed and in a
well ventilated place.

7.3. Specific end use(s)


Information not available

10. Stability and reactivity


Petroleum naphtha solvent 150 : can give flammable mixtures with air. Burns only when heated above
the point of flammability (> 62°C).

11. Toxicological information

11.1. Information on toxicological effects


The introduction of even small quantities of this liquid into the respiratory system in case of ingestion
or vomit may cause bronchopneumonia and pulmonary edema.
Acute effects: contact with skin may cause: irritation, erythema, edema, dryness and chapped skin.
Vapour inhalation may slightly irritate the upper respiratory trait. Ingestion may cause health
disorders, including stomach pain and sting, nausea and sickness.
This product contains highly volatile substances, which may cause serious depression of the central
nervous system (CNS) and have negative effects, such as drowsiness, dizziness, slow reflexes,
narcosis.
12. Ecological information

12.1. Toxicity
This product is dangerous for the environment and is toxic for aquatic organisms. In the long term, it
may even have negative effects on acquatic environment.
ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBONS
LC50 (96h) 50,9 mg/l

12.2. Persistence and degradability


Petroleum distillates, charcoal, vegetable extracts: they are mixtures of paraffinic, naphthenic,
diterpenic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Their behaviour on the environment depends on the
concentration. In each case use, according to good working practices, avoiding disposal in the
environment. As a rule, the product is poorly biodegradable.
The paraffinic hydrocarbons fraction may be considered biodegradable in water and in air. They
distribute mostly in the air. The small non biodegradable amount which spreads into water tends to
accumulate in fish.

12.3. Bioaccumulative potential

12.4. Mobility in soil


Information not available

12.5. Results of PBT and vPvB assessment

13. Disposal considerations

13.1. Waste treatment methods


Waste transportation may be subject to ADR restrictions.

14. Transport information
