Section 4. First aid measures

Description of necessary first aid measures
Eye contact In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Eyelids should be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. Check for and
remove any contact lenses. Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician.
Get medical attention immediately.
Skin contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Chemical burns must be treated
promptly by a physician. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Drench contaminated
clothing with water before removing. This is necessary to avoid the risk of sparks from
static electricity that could ignite contaminated clothing. Contaminated clothing is a fire
hazard. Contaminated leather, particularly footwear, must be discarded. Get medical
attention immediately.
Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory
arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. Get medical
attention immediately.
Ingestion Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position
and get medical attention immediately. Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a
physician. Get medical attention immediately. If swallowed, rinse mouth with water
(only if the person is conscious). If affected person is conscious, give plenty of water to
drink.
Protection of first-aiders No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. If it is
suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or
self-contained breathing apparatus. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to
give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water
before removing it, or wear gloves.

Specific hazards arising Flammable liquid and vapor. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the
from the chemical container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. Runoff to sewer may
create fire or explosion hazard. Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors are
heavier than air and can spread along the ground or float on water surfaces to remote
ignition sources. Vapors may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a
considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
Hazardous combustion Combustion products may include the following:
products carbon dioxide
carbon monoxide

Special protective actions DO NOT FIGHT FIRE WHEN IT REACHES MATERIAL. Withdraw from area and allow
for fire-fighters the fire to burn. Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of
the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or
without suitable training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk.
Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Special protective Fire-fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
equipment for fire-fighters and full turnout gear.

Section 6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency Immediately contact emergency personnel. No action shall be taken involving any
personnel personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through
spilled material. No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Do not breathe vapor or
mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.
Floors may be slippery; use care to avoid falling. Eliminate all ignition sources.
For emergency responders Entry into a confined space or poorly ventilated area contaminated with vapor, mist or
fume is extremely hazardous without the correct respiratory protective equipment and a
safe system of work. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear a suitable
chemical protective suit. Chemical resistant boots. See also the information in "For non-
emergency personnel".

Environmental precautions Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Small spill Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area.
Absorb with an inert material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Use
spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Dispose of via a licensed waste
disposal contractor. The method and equipment used must be in conformance with
appropriate regulations and industry practice on explosive atmospheres.

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Appropriate engineering All activities involving chemicals should be assessed for their risks to health, to ensure
controls 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. 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
organisation for standards.
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant airborne
concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits.
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.
Environmental exposure Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they
controls 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.

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 Chemical splash goggles.
Skin protection
Hand protection Wear chemical resistant gloves. Recommended: Butyl rubber gloves.

Do not re-use gloves. Protective gloves must give suitable protection against
mechanical risks (i.e. abrasion, blade cut and puncture). Protective gloves will
deteriorate over time due to physical and chemical damage. Inspect and replace gloves
on a regular basis. The frequency of replacement will depend upon the circumstances of
use.
Body protection Use of protective clothing is good industrial practice.
Cotton or polyester/cotton overalls will only provide protection against light superficial
contamination that will not soak through to the skin. Overalls should be laundered on a
regular basis. When the risk of skin exposure is high (e.g. when cleaning up spillages or
if there is a risk of splashing) then chemical resistant aprons and/or impervious chemical
suits and boots will be required.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
Footwear highly resistant to chemicals.
When there is a risk of ignition from static electricity, wear anti-static protective clothing.
For greatest effectiveness against static electricity, overalls, boots and gloves should all
be anti-static.
When there is a risk of ignition wear inherently fire resistant protective clothes and
gloves.
Work clothing / overalls should be laundered on a regular basis. Laundering of
contaminated work clothing should only be done by professional cleaners who have
been told about the hazards of the contamination. Always keep contaminated work
clothing away from uncontaminated work clothing and uncontaminated personal clothes.
When the risk of skin exposure is high (from experience this could apply to the following
tasks: cleaning work, maintenance and service, filling and transfer, taking samples and
cleaning up spillages) then a chemical protective suit and boots will be required.
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:
Hard hat.
Chemical resistant boots.
Chemical resistant apron
Full chemical protective suit with a hood.
Chemical protective suit consisting of a jacket and trousers. The jacket should be
buttoned up to the neck, sleeves sealed at the gloves, and trouser legs worn outside the
boots. These precautions are required to prevent the clothing from accidentally trapping

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
product against the skin.

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 Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapor or mist. If ventilation is
inadequate, use NIOSH-certified respirator which will protect against organic vapor. If
operating conditions cause high vapor concentrations or the TLV is exceeded, use
supplied-air respirator.

If there is a requirement for the use of a respiratory protective device, but the use of
breathing apparatus (independent of ambient atmosphere) is not required, then a
suitable filtering device must be worn.
The filter class must be suitable for the maximum contaminant concentration (gas/vapor/
aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product.
