General advice Call 211 or emergency medical service. Immediate medical attention is required. Show this
safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Inhalation Move to fresh air. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Immediate medical attention is not
required. Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of vapours.
Eye contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. If
symptoms persist, call a physician. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
and consult a physician. Immediately flush with plenty of water. Keep eye wide open while
rinsing.
Ingestion Immediate medical attention is not required. Rinse mouth. Drink plenty of water. Do NOT
induce vomiting. Clean mouth with water and afterwards drink plenty of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Consult a physician.
Protection of first-aiders Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to
protect themselves.
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back Most vapours are heavier than air
Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers Those substances designated with a "P" may polymerize explosively when
heated or involved in a fire Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard

precautions for firefighters
Personal precautions
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product
must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk.
Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
Environmental precautions
SEE PART A & PART B MSDS'S FOR HAZARD WARNING & OTHER INFORMATION. Beware of vapours accumulating to form
explosive concentrations.
Methods for containment A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand
or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers.
Methods for cleaning up Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later
disposal.
Handling
Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against
static discharges. Use only in an area containing flame proof equipment. To avoid ignition of vapours by static electricity discharge, all
metal parts of the equipment must be grounded. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Wear personal
protective equipment. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Hygiene measures
When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Provide regular cleaning of equipment, work area and clothing.
Storage
Keep tightly closed in a dry and cool place. Keep in properly labelled containers. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated
place. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep away from heat. Protect from light.
