5. FIRST AID MEASURES

INHALATION
 Move person to fresh air and call for medical assistance immediately.
 If not breathing, give artificial respiration, if breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Keep at rest.

SKIN CONTACT
 In case of contact, immediately flush skin with large amounts of water and soap while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
 If irritation persists, get medical attention.

EYE CONTACT
 Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides.
 Remove contact lens
 Obtain medical attention, preferably by an ophthalmologist, immediately.

INGESTION
 DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a medical personnel. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Keep at rest. Get medical
attention immediately.

6. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

SUITABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
 Alcohol-resistant foam, Carbon dioxide, or dry chemical type

SPECIFIC HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL

 Combustion products may include and are not limited to: Carbon monoxide and
Carbon dioxide.

SPECIAL PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR FIRE FIGHTERS

 Wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus.
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed surfaces and to protect personnel. If a leak or
spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapours.
 If possible, isolate product from heat, electrical equipments, sparks and open flames.
 Avoid spraying water directly into storage containers.
 Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat

7. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURE
 Wear appropriate protective equipment, e.g. respirators, eye protection, gloves and safety
shoes.
 Avoid substance contact with eyes. Do not inhale vapours.
 Ensure supply of fresh air in enclosed rooms.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
 Eliminate sources of ignition.
 Keep public away.
 Contain spilled liquid with sand or other non-combustible absorbent materials
 Wash area and prevent runoff into drains and sewerage system.
 Advise authorities if substance has entered a watercourse or sewer or has
contaminated soil or vegetation.
METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENTS AND CLEANING UP
 Clean up all spills immediately.
 Absorb spill with absorbent and inert material, then place in container.
 Disposal in accordance to local/national regulations

8. HANDLING AND STORAGE

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING
 Use appropriate personal protective equipment
 Keep out of reach of children.
 Handle containers with care. Open slowly in order to control possible pressure release.
 Do not pressurize containers.
 Do not ingest. Do not breathe in gas/fumes/vapour. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
 For personal protection, see section 8.
 Use only in areas from which all naked lights and other sources of ignition have been
excluded.
 Take precautionary measures against static discharge
 Protect from frost and extremes of temperature.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILTIES
 Keep containers tightly closed.
 Containers that are opened should be properly resealed and kept upright to prevent
leakage.
 Store in cool, dry and well-ventilated place at temperature between 20 C to 40 C away
o o

from heat and sources of ignition.

APPROPRIATE ENGINEERING CONTROL MEASURES
 Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne
concentrations of vapours below their respective occupational exposure limits.
 Ensure eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: Use of NIOSH-approved respirators with organic vapour cartridges is
recommended.
Hand Protection: Use of solvent resistance type or chemical resistant type of
protective gloves is recommended.
Eye Protection: Use of safety glasses or goggles with side shields is recommended.
