First-aid measures

INHALATION

Immediately remove from further exposure. Get immediate medical assistance.

For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others.

Use adequate respiratory protection.

Give supplemental oxygen, if available.  If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device.

SKIN CONTACT

Wash contact areas with soap and water.  Remove contaminated clothing.  Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.

EYE CONTACT

Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.  Get medical assistance.

INGESTION

Seek immediate medical attention.  Do not induce vomiting.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN

If ingested, material may be aspirated into the lungs and cause chemical pneumonitis.  Treat appropriately.

Fire-fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

Appropriate Extinguishing Media:  Use water fog, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.

Inappropriate Extinguishing Media:  Straight streams of water or standard foam

FIRE FIGHTING

Fire Fighting Instructions:  Evacuate area.  Prevent run-off from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers or drinking water supply.  Fire-fighters 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.

Unusual Fire Hazards:  Combustible.  Hazardous material. Firefighters should consider protective equipment indicated in Section 8.

Hazardous Combustion Products:   Smoke, Fume, Incomplete combustion products, Oxides of carbon, Flammable hydrocarbons

FLAMMABILITY PROPERTIES

Flash Point [Method]:  76C  (169F) [ ASTM D-93]

Flammable Limits (Approximate volume % in air):   LEL:  0.86     UEL:  N/D

Autoignition Temperature:  N/D

Accidental release measures

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES

In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations.

PROTECTIVE MEASURES

Avoid contact with spilled material.  Warn or evacuate occupants in surrounding and downwind areas if required, due to toxicity or flammability of the material.  

SPILL MANAGEMENT

Land Spill:  Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area).  Stop leak if you can do so without risk.  All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded.  Do not touch or walk through spilled material.  Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas.  A vapour-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapour.  Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers.  Large Spills:  Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.  Large Spills:  Water spray may reduce vapour, but may not prevent ignition in enclosed spaces.  Recover by pumping or with suitable absorbent.

Water Spill:  Stop leak if you can do so 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:  Dyke far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal.  Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.

Handling and storage

HANDLING

Avoid all personal contact.

Use proper bonding and/or earthing procedures.However, bonding and earthing may not eliminate the hazard from static accumulation. Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard.   DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight.

Loading/Unloading Temperature:     [Ambient]

Transport Temperature:     [Ambient]

Transport Pressure:     [Ambient]

Static Accumulator:   This material is not a static accumulator.

STORAGE

Keep container closed. Handle containers with care. Open slowly in order to control possible pressure release.  Store in a cool, well-ventilated area.  Storage containers should be earthed and bonded. Fixed storage containers, transfer containers and associated equipment should be grounded and bonded to prevent accumulation of static charge.

Storage Temperature:       [Ambient]

Storage Pressure:     [Ambient]

Suitable Containers/Packing:   Tank Cars; Tank Trucks; Barges; Drums; Tankers

Suitable Materials and Coatings (Chemical Compatibility):   Carbon Steel; Stainless Steel; Epoxy Phenolic; Aluminium; Polypropylene; Polyethylene; Zinc

Unsuitable Materials and Coatings:   Vinyls; Butyl Rubber; Natural Rubber

Exposure controls / personal protection

ENGINEERING CONTROLS

The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions. Control measures to consider:

Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded.  Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.

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.  

Respiratory Protection:   If engineering controls do not maintain airborne contaminant concentrations at a level which is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator may be appropriate.  Respirator selection, use, and maintenance must be in accordance with regulatory requirements, if applicable.  

Types of respirators to be considered for this material include:  Half-face filter respirator   Type A filter material, European Committee for Standardization (CEN) standards EN 136, 140 and 405 provide respirator masks and EN 149 and 143 provide filter recommendations.

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/vapour 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:  Chemical resistant gloves are recommended.  Nitrile, minimum 0.38 mm thickness or comparable protective barrier material with a high performance level for continuous contact use conditions, permeation breakthrough minimum 480 minutes in accordance with CEN standards EN 420 and EN 374.

Eye Protection:  Chemical goggles are recommended.

Skin and Body Protection:  Any specific clothing information provided is based on published literature or manufacturer data.  

The types of clothing to be considered for this material include:  Chemical/oil resistant clothing is recommended.

Specific Hygiene Measures:   Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking.  Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.  Discard contaminated clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned. Practice good housekeeping.
