Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

- Description of first aid measures

Inhalation: Remove exposed person to fresh air if adverse effects are observed.

Eye contact: Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, get medical assistance. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.

Skin Contact: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before re-use. Wash with soap and water. If skin irritation occurs, get medical attention.

Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

- Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Hazards: No data available.

Treatment: Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

General Fire Hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.

-  Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: CO2, dry chemical, foam, water spray, water fog.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: Not determined.

- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Container may rupture on heating. Water or foam may cause frothing. Avoid solid streams of water. Use water spray.

- Advice for firefighters

Special fire fighting procedures: No data available.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Recommend wearing self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Ventilate area if spilled in confined space or other poorly ventilated areas. Personal Protective Equipment must be worn, see Personal Protection Section for PPE recommendations.

- Environmental Precautions:Avoid release to the environment. Do not contaminate water sources or sewer. Environmental manager must be informed of all major spillages. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Dike far ahead of larger spill for later recovery and disposal. Pick up free liquid for recycle and/or disposal. Residual liquid can be absorbed on inert material. Wash area with soap and water. Spilled liquid and dried film are slippery. Use care to avoid falls.

Handling and storage

- Precautions for safe handling: Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid breathing mists or vapours. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Stir well before use. Keep containers closed when not in use. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Maximum Handling Temperature: Not determined.

- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store away from incompatible materials. Do not store in open, unlabelled or mislabelled containers. Do not freeze.

Maximum Storage Temperature: Not determined.

Exposure controls / personal protection

1. Technical protection measures

None of the components have assigned exposure limits.

2. Organisational protection measures

Appropriate engineering controls: Use material in well ventilated area only. Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded. Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust ventilation may be required.

General information: Use personal protective equipment as required.

Hygiene measures: Observe good industrial hygiene practices.

3. Hand protection

Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier. Use good industrial hygiene practices to avoid skin contact. If contact with the material may occur wear chemically protective gloves.

4. Feet protection

Gloves, coveralls, apron, boots as necessary to minimize contact.

5. Body protection

Gloves, coveralls, apron, boots as necessary to minimize contact.

6. Eye protection

If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.

7. Respiratory protection

A respiratory protection program compliant with all applicable regulations must be followed whenever workplace conditions require the use of a respirator. Under normal use conditions, respirator is not usually required. Use appropriate respiratory protection if exposure to dust particles, mist or vapors is likely. Use self-contained breathing apparatus for entry into confined space, for other poorly ventilated areas and for large spill clean-up sites.
