Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air.  Keep person warm and at rest.  If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs,provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel.  It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitationGet medical attention if adverse health effects persist or are severe.  If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediatelyMaintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water.  Remove dentures if any.  Move exposed person to fresh air.  Keep person warm and at rest.  If material has been swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink.  Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous.  Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.  If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs.  Get medical attention if adverse health effects persist or are severe.  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious personIf unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately.  Maintain an open airway.  Loosen tight clothing such as a collar,

tie, belt or waistband.

Skin Contact: Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water.  Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.  Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it, or wear gloves.  Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes.  Get medical attention.  In the event of any complaints or

symptoms, avoid further exposure.  Wash clothing before reuse.  Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.

Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.  Check for and remove any contact lenses.  Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes.  Get medical attention if irritation occurs.

Protection of first-aiders: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.  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.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable: Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

Not suitable: None known.

Special exposure hazards: In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst. 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.

Hazardous combustion products: Decomposition products may include the following materials:

carbon dioxide

carbon monoxide

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus

(SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.  Evacuate surrounding areas.  Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering.  Do not touch or walk through spilled material.  Avoid breathing vapor or mist.  Provide adequate ventilation.  Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate.  Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).

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).

Large Spill: Stop leak if without risk.  Move containers from spill area.  Approach release from upwind.  Prevent entry into sewers, water courses,

basements or confined areas.  Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows.  Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see

section 13).  Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.  Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product.Note: see section 1 for emergency contact information and section 13 for waste disposal.

Small spill: Stop leak if without risk.  Move containers from spill area.  Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble or absorb with an inert dry

material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container.  Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Handling and storage

Handling: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).  Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed.  Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.  Persons with a history of skinsensitization problems should not be employed in any process in which this product is used.  Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing.  Do not

ingest.  Avoid breathing vapor or mist.  Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closedwhen not in use.  Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous.  Do not reuse container.

Storage: Store in accordance with local regulations.  Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see section 10) and food and drink.  Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use.  Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.  Do not store in unlabeled containers.  Use appropriate

containment to avoid environmental contamination.
