4. FIRST AID MEASURES
General Information: Not expected to be a health hazard when used under normal conditions.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If rapid recovery does not occur, transport to nearest medical facility for
additional treatment.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water and follow by washing with
soap if available. If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.
Eye Contact: Flush eye with copious quantities of water. If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical
attention.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting: transport to nearest medical facility for additional
treatment. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration. If any of the
following delayed signs and symptoms appear within the next 6 hours, transport to the nearest medical
facility: fever greater than 101° F (38.3° C), shortness of breath, chest congestion or continued coughing or
wheezing.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
If material enters lungs, signs and symptoms may include coughing, choking, wheezing, difficulty in
breathing, chest congestion, shortness of breath, and/or fever. Auditory system effects may include
temporary hearing loss and/or ringing in the ears.
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Potential for chemical pneumonitis. Call a doctor or poison control center for guidance.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires
only. Do not discharge extinguishing waters into the aquatic environment.
Carbon monoxide may be evolved if incomplete combustion occurs. Will float and can be reignited on
surface water. The vapour is heavier than air, spreads along the ground and distant ignition is possible.
5
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled or released material. Immediately remove all contaminated clothing. For
guidance on selection of personal protective equipment see Chapter 8 of this Safety Data Sheet. For
guidance on disposal of spilled material see Chapter 13 of this Safety Data Sheet.
Shut off leaks, if possible without personal risks. Remove all possible sources of ignition in the surrounding
area. Use appropriate containment (of product and fire fighting water) to avoid environmental
contamination. Prevent from spreading or entering drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other
appropriate barriers. Attempt to disperse the vapour or to direct its flow to a safe location for example by
using fog sprays.
Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and
grounding (earthing) all equipment. Monitor area with combustible gas indicator.
For small liquid spills (< 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means to a labelled, sealable container for
product recovery or safe disposal. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an appropriate absorbent
material and dispose of safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely.
For large liquid spills (> 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank for
recovery or safe disposal. Do not flush away residues with water. Retain as contaminated waste. Allow
residues to evaporate or soak up with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely.
Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely.
Additional Advice: See Chapter 13 for information on disposal. Notify authorities if any exposure to the
general public or the environment occurs or is likely to occur.
General Precautions
Avoid breathing vapours or contact with material. Only use in well ventilated areas. Wash thoroughly after
handling. On guidance on selection of personal protective equipment see Chapter 8 of this Safety Data
Sheet. Use the information in this data sheet as input to a risk assessment of local circumstances
to help determine appropriate controls for safe handling, storage and disposal of this material.
Extinguish any naked flames. Do not smoke. Remove ignition sources. Avoid sparks. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes and clothing. Even with proper grounding and bonding, this material can still accumulate an
electrostatic charge. If sufficient charge is allowed to accumulate, electrostatic discharge and ignition of
flammable air-vapour mixtures can occur. Be aware of handling operations that may give rise to additional
hazards that result from the accumulation of static charges. These include but are not limited to pumping
(especially turbulent flow), mixing, filtering, splash filling, cleaning and filling of tanks and containers,
sampling, switch loading, gauging, vacuum truck operations, and mechanical movements. These activities
may lead to static discharge e.g. spark formation. Restrict line velocity during pumping in order to avoid
generation of electrostatic discharge (<= 1 m/s until fill pipe submerged to twice its diameter, then <= 7
m/s). Avoid splash filling. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling operations.
6
Product Transfer
Keep containers closed when not in use. Refer to guidance under Handling section.
Electrostatic charges will be generated during pumping. Electrostatic discharge may cause fire. Ensure
electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all equipment to reduce the risk. The vapours in
the head space of the storage vessel may lie in the flammable/explosive range and hence may be
flammable. Must be stored in a diked (bunded) wellventilated area, away from sunlight, ignition sources
and other sources of heat. Bulk storage tanks should be diked (bunded).
Keep away from aerosols, flammables, oxidizing agents, corrosives and from other flammable products
which are not harmful or toxic to man or to the environment. Storage Temperature: Ambient.
Recommended Materials
For containers, or container linings use mild steel, stainless steel. For container paints, use epoxy paint,
zinc silicate paint.
Unsuitable Materials
Avoid prolonged contact with natural, butyl or nitrile rubbers.
Container Advice
Containers, even those that have been emptied, can contain explosive vapours. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld
or perform similar operations on or near containers.
Additional Information
Ensure that all local regulations regarding handling and storage facilities are followed. See additional
references that provide safe handling practices for liquids that are determined to be static accumulators:
