SECTION 4: First aid measures

4.1 Description of first aid measures
Inhalation:
Remove person to fresh air. If you are concerned, get medical advice.
Skin Contact:
Wash with soap and water. If signs symptoms develop, get medical attention
Eye Contact:
Flush with large amounts of water. Remove Contact Lenses if easy to do. Continue rinsing. If
signs/ Symptoms persist, get medical attention.
If Swallowed:
Rinse mouth. If you feel unwell, get medical attention
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
See Section 11.1. Information on toxicological effects.
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment required
Not applicable
SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Suitable extinguishing media
Product is a fire-extinguishing agent. Material will not burn. Use a fire fighting agent suitable for
surrounding fire.
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Exposure to extreme heat can give rise to thermal decomposition.
Hazardous Decomposition or By-Products:
Substance Condition
Carbon monoxide During Combustion
Carbon dioxide During Combustion
Toxic Vapor/Gas During Combustion
5.3 Special protective actions for fire fighters
When fire fighting conditions are severe and total thermal decomposition of the product is
possible, wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained, positive pressure, or
pressure demand breathing apparatus, bunker coat and pants, bands around arms, waist and,
legs, face mask, and protective covering fro exposed areas of the head.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Evacuate area. Ventilate the area with fresh air. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces,
provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or exhaust vapors, in accordance with good industrial
hygiene practice. Refer to other section of this MSDS for information regarding physical and
health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and protective equipment.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment. For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry
into sewer systems or bodies of water.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Contain spill. Working from the edges of the spill inward, cover with bentonite, vermiculite, or
commercially available inorganic absorbent material. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears
dry. Remember, adding an absorbent material does not remove a physical, health, or
environmental hazard. Collect as much f the spilled material as possible. Place in a closed
container approved fro transportation by appropriate authorities. Seal the container. Dispose of
collected material as soon as possible.

8.2 Exposure controls

8.2.1 Engineering controls

Provide appropriate local exhaust when product is heated. For those situations where the
material might be exposed to extreme overheating due to misuse or equipment failure, use the
appropriate local exhaust ventilation sufficient to maintain levels of thermal decomposition
products below their exposure guidelines. Use general dilution ventilation and or local exhaust
ventilation to control airborne exposures to below relevant Exposure Limits and/ or control dust/
fumes/ gas/ mist/ vapors/ spray. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protective
equipment.

8.2.2 Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Eye/ Face Protection:
Eye protection not required.
Skin/ Hand protection:
No protective gloves required.
Respiratory protection:
Use a positive pressure supplied-air respirator if there is a potential for over exposure from an
uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or under any other circumstances where air-
purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. If thermal degradation products are
expected, use full facemask supplied-air respirator.

Section 16: Other Information

NFPA Hazard Classification

Health: 3 Flammability: 0 Instability: 1 Special Hazards: None.
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard ratings are designed for use by emergency response
personnel to address the hazards that are presented by short-term, acute exposure to a material under conditions
of fire, spill, or similar emergencies. Hazard ratings are primarily based on the inherent physical and toxic
properties of the material but also include the toxic properties of combustion or decomposition products that are
known to be generated in significant quantities.

HMIS Hazard Classification

Health: 1 Flammability: 0 Physical Hazard: 1 Personal Protection: X- See PPE section.
Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS® IV) hazard ratings are designed to inform employees of
chemical hazards in the workplace. These ratings on the inherent properties of the material under expected
conditions of nrmal use and are not intended for use in emergency situations. HMIS® IV ratings are to be used
with a fully implemented HMIS® IV program. HMIS® is a registered trademark of the American Coatings
Association (ACA).
