First-aid measures

Description of First Aid Measures:

On contact with eyes : Flush with water.

On skin contact : Immediately flush with water. If skin irritation persists, get medical attention.

If inhaled : Remove to fresh air.

On ingestion : Obtain medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media : On large fires use dry chemical, foam or water spray (fog). On small fires use carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical or water spray. Water can be used to cool fire exposed containers.

Unsuitable extinguishing media : None known.

Hazards during fire fighting : Electrostatic charges may be generated during transfer of product from its container. Ensure that all equipment is electrically earthed. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.

Hazardous Combustion Products : Thermal breakdown of this product during fire or very high heat conditions may evolve the following decomposition products: Silica. Carbon oxides and traces of incompletely burned carbon compounds. Formaldehyde. Chlorine compounds.

Special protective equipment/procedures : A self-contained respirator and protective clothing should be worn. Determine the need to

evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures : A self-contained respirator and protective clothing should be worn. Determine the need to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan. Eliminate all possible sources of ignition.

Environmental precautions : Prevent from spreading or entering into drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth or other appropriate barriers.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up : Determine the need to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan. Eliminate all possible sources of ignition. Very large spills should be contained by bunding, etc... procedures. Mop, wipe or soak up with absorbent material and place in a container with a lid. The spilled product produces an extremely slippery surface.

Handling and storage

Advice on safe handling :

General ventilation is required. Local ventilation is recommended. Do not breathe vapour. Do not breathe spray or mist. Avoid skin and eye contact. Do not ingest. Do not empty into drains.

Advice on storage :

Store in a flameproof, well ventilated area. Electrostatic charges may be generated during transfer of product from its container. Ensure that all equipment is electrically earthed. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container closed and store away from water or

moisture. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering Controls:

General ventilation and Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV), as applicable

Personal protection equipment:

Respiratory protection :

Contact with water or humid air will form methanol. Please take into account any occupational exposure limits for methanol which are applicable in your country. A suitable respirator must be worn if the product is used in any circumstances where an aerosol or mist may be generated, such as during spraying or similar activities. Suitable respiratory protection should be worn if the product is used in large quantities, confined spaces or in other circumstances where the OEL may be approached or exceeded. Depending on the working conditions, wear a respiratory mask with filter(s) AXP or  use a self-contained respirator. The choice of a filter type depends on the amount and type of chemical being handled in the workplace. Regarding filter characteristics, contact your respiratory protection supplier.

Hand protection :

Chemical protective gloves should be worn where repeated or prolonged contact can occur: Silver shield(TM). 4H(TM). Butyl or neoprene type gloves.Regarding glove's breakthrough time,contact your chemical protective glove supplier.

Eye/face protection : Face shield or safety goggles.

Skin protection : Wear impervious overalls in circumstances where significant skin contact can occur.

Hygiene measures : Exercise good industrial hygiene practice. Wash after handling, especially before eating, drinking or smoking.

Environmental exposure controls:

Use of air emission abatement equipment’s such as incinerators and scrubbers - applicable as ‘best practice’

Treatment of effluent in waste water treatment plant

Waste should be kept separately and disposed of to hazardous waste incineration

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity : This product releases methanol.

Stability : Stable under normal usage conditions.

Possibility of hazardous reactions : None known.

Conditions to avoid : Eliminate all possible sources of ignition.

Materials to avoid : Can react with strong oxidising agents.

Hazardous decomposition products : Thermal breakdown of this product during fire or very high heat conditions may evolve the following decomposition products: Silica. Carbon oxides and traces of incompletely burned carbon compounds. Formaldehyde. Chlorine compounds.

Disposal considerations

Product and packaging disposal : Dispose of in accordance with local regulations. According to the European Waste Catalogue, Waste Codes are not product specific, but application specific. Waste codes should be assigned by the user, preferably in discussion with the waste disposal authorities.
