First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Vapor pressure is very low. Vapor inhalation under ambient

conditions is normally not a problem. If overcome by vapor

from hot product, immeidately remove from exposure and call

a physician. If breathing is irregular or has stopped, start

resuscitation; administer oxygen, if available.

Emergency measure - Eyes: If lubricant gets in eyes, flush with clear water for 15

minutes or until irritation subsides. If irritation

persists, call a physician.

Emergency measure - Skin: In case of skin contact, remove any contaminated clothing

and wash skin with soap and water. Launder clothing before

reuse. If product is injected into or under the skin, or

into any part of the body, regardless of the appearance of

the would or its size, the individual should be evaluated

immediately by a physician as a surgical emergency.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: If ingested, do not induce vomiting, call a physician

immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Foam, water spray (fog), dry chemical, or carbon dioxide may

all be suitable for extinguishing fires.

Product arising from burning: Combustion products will include small quantities of

aldehyde, ketone and oxides of carbon and nitrogen as well

as decomposition products from partial combustion.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Self contained breathing apparatus, gloves and goggles. The

final product may contain other additives for which greater

precautions may be appropriate.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: (Information is for preparation because thickener will never

be present alone).

Recover free product. Add sand, earth or other suitable

absorbent to spill area. Minimize skin contact. Keep product

out of sewers and water courses by diking and impounding.

Advise authorities if product has entered or may enter

sewers or watercourses, or extensive land area.

Handling and storage

Handling: Chemical resistant gloves, goggles and chemical resistant

apron or other impervious clothing are recommended to avoid

prolonged or repeated skin contact or exposure.

Storage: Store in original container in a place where leakage will

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance is not considered to be suitable for recycling

.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Not considered to be applicable.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not considered to be a suitable method of disposal in view

of poor biodgradability and potential to accumulate.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Recommended method for disposal.  Stack gases must be

scrubbed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not considered to be an appropriate method of disposal.  The

substance will not stay in solution and is considered to

quickly adsorb onto any organic material present.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance will not enter the public domain
