MSDS/IBA/rev-3/page 1 of 7 Date of issue : 28 / 11 / 2013

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Ingestion:
Essentially non toxic. Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Large
ingestion may cause central nervous system damage, pulmonary edema, and liver
damage.
Skin Contact:
Skin contact causes irritation, redness, and pain. May be absorbed through the skin;
symptoms of absorption may be similar to those from ingestion exposure.
Eye Contact:
Vapors cause irritation, redness, and blurred vision. Splashes may cause severe
irritation or eye damage.
Chronic Exposure:
Prolonged or repeated skin exposure may cause dermatitis.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems, or impaired liver, kidney or
respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.

4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person.
Skin Contact:
Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap or mild detergent and
water for at least 15 minutes. Wash clothes before reuse. Get medical attention if
irritation develops or persists.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and
upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Fire Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Do not use direct water stream. Straight or
direct water streams may not be effective to extinguish fire. Water spray may be used
to keep fire exposed containers cool. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are
preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may
function, but will be less effective.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive
breathing apparatus (SCBA). Water may be used to flush spills away from exposures

MSDS/IBA/rev-3/page 2 of 7 Date of issue : 28 / 11 / 2013

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
and to dilute spills to non-flammable mixtures.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate
personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid
when possible. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Collect liquid in an
appropriate container or absorb with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand,
earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials,
such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer!

7. Handling and Storage

Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated location, away
from any area where the fire hazard may be acute. Outside or detached storage is
preferred. Separate from incompatibles. Containers should be bonded and
grounded for transfers to avoid static sparks. Storage and use areas should be No
Smoking areas. Use non-sparking type tools and equipment, including explosion proof
ventilation. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they
retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for
the product.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Exposure controls

Airborne Exposure Limits:

Indonesia. OELs. Ministry of Manpower (Circular Letter No: SE-01/MEN/1997)
Ceiling Limit Value: 50 ppm, 152 mg/m3
Skin designation: Can be absorbed through the skin.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits (typically 10 air changes per hour).
Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions
of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area

Personal Protection

Personal Respirators:
If the exposure limit is exceeded, a full face piece respirator with organic vapor
cartridge may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit or the maximum use

MSDS/IBA/rev-3/page 3 of 7 Date of issue : 28 / 11 / 2013

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier,
whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not
known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air
purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or
coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible.
Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
