immediately if large quantities have been ingested or inhaled.

Fire-fighting measures

FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media

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

Not Suitable : None known.

Special exposure hazards :

No specific fire or explosion hazard..

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 thermal decomposition 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

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 spilt material. Put on appropriate personal

protective equipment (see section 8).

Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilt 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 for cleaning up :

Small spill : Move containers from spill area. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a

designated, labelled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal

contractor.

Large spill : Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses,

basements or confined areas. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a

designated, labelled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal

contractor. Note: see section 1 for emergency contact information and section 13 for

waste disposal.

Handling and storage

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.

Storage: STORE UNDER COVER. Keep away from heat

Do not store above the following temperature: 40°C (104°F). 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 unlabelled containers. Use appropriate

containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Exposure controls / personal protection

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION :

Recommended monitoring procedures: No exposure limit value known.

If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace

atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness

of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory

protective equipment. Reference should be made to European Standard EN 689 for

methods for the assessment of exposure by inhalation to chemical agents and

national guidance documents for methods for the determination of hazardous

substances.

Exposure controls :

Occupational exposure Controls :No special ventilation requirements. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to

control worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If this product contains

ingredients with exposure limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or

other engineering controls to keep worker exposure below any recommended or

statutory limits.

Hygienes 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.

Respiratory protection: Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must

be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and

the safe working limits of the selected respirator.

Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates

this is necessary.

Eye protection: Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists or dusts.

Skin protection: 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.

Environmental exposure

Controls : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they 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.
